   So what is a " Referral Based Incentive Site "
 
  Simply put, a referral based incentive site is a website where a user follows a three step process to receive a free gift. First, they register at the site and complete an offer. An offer is a service, such as Netflix. The user signs up for a free trial (sometimes there is a small fee associated with shipping costs). Next, they refer some friends and have them each complete an offer (the number of friends varies depending on the cost of the gift). The last and best step is, the user receives a free gift (the gift can be anything from a DVD, to an iPod, to a laptop computer)
 
   How can a person afford to give away free gifts?
 
  Whenever a user signs up for one of the offers, the site owner gets paid a commission for giving the company a potential customer. The offers sometimes pay up to $100 per completion! That money is used to pay for the gift for the user, and also gives the site owner a nice profit. Gratis Internet (recently renamed to Free Pay), the company that runs freeiPods.com, made over $20,000,000 in 2007 by giving away gifts for free! Don't believe me? Inc.com doesn't lie. That was up from $5,000,000 the previous year. Wouldn't you like to do the same thing? Incentives Script allows you to start making money easily and quickly. No experience with running a website is required in order to start your very own site with Incentives Script.
 
   Wait? So what exactly is Incentives Script?
 
  Absolutely! Incentives Script not only is the best script for running a referral based incentive site, but it contains tons of code to make your site successful. Incentives Script contains over 14,000 lines of code and 400,000 characters of code, to ensure that you get the best possible use out of your site. See the section below to see why Incentives Script is better then all of the competition.
 
   Template System
 
  The template system allows you to completely change the look of your site, if you choose to do so. Incentives Script comes with a good looking default template, but many people choose to create a custom look for their site. If you wish, you may also hire a template designer who will create a gorgeous template for you at a good price.
 
   Files are Editable
 
  When you receive the Incentives Script script, you may notice that the files are un-encrypted*, allowing you to completely modify the script if you wish. You can add, remove, and edit features, along with anything else that you want. It is completely customizable. *One file is encrypted to prevent piracy
 
   Offer Weights
 
  Offer weights is a powerful feature that allows a site owner to specify how important an offer is, which is a result of the offer pay out. An owner may designate an offer to give a full credit (thus completing the users offer credit), ½ credit, or 1/3 credit. This allows site owners to use offers that may be popular, but do not pay enough to be a full credit.
 
   Instant Credit Reporting
 
   Met Reward offers a service called Closed Loop Reporting. What that means is whenever a user completes an offer, Met Reward can automatically tell your script that the user has done so. Incentives Script takes advantage of this, and thus allows users to receive instant credit from Met Reward offers. Support Tickets If a user has a problem or a question, he or she needs a way to contact the site owner.
 
   Support tickets
 
  Allows them to do so. All a user does is submit a ticket, the admin receives an e-mail notifying him or her of this, and the login to their admin panel and can respond to the ticket. If the problem is resolved, they can close the ticket, or they can wait for a response from the user.
 
   Unique CSV Reporting
 
   Almost all advertisers allow a site admin to receive their offer reports in CSV form. Incentives Script takes these CSV files, and uses them to give credit to the users who completed the offers (no tedious manual crediting for the admin). Incentives Script currently supports 6 advertisers for CSV reporting!
 
   Report No Offer Credit
 
  Occasionally an offer credit will slip through the cracks (usually on the advertisers end), and a user will become upset that they completed an offer and did not receive credit. They can submit a No Offer Credit Report to notify you of this, and you can check your records and contact the advertiser to receive credit for this user.
 
   Report Referral Spam
 
  Nobody likes to receive spam, and if a user is spamming their referral link (in an attempt to get referrals), the innocent can report this to the site admin, who can deal with the spamming user accordingly.
 
   FAQ System
 
  To prevent users from asking lots of general questions, Incentives Script has an FAQ system, where the admin can create categories and questions within those categories with FAQs and their answers. Users can refer to this instead of opening lots of support tickets.
 
   Complete/Filtered User List
 
  The user list can be either shown as a list of complete users, or be filtered to find specific users. Either way, a lot of information is shown about these users so you can know more about them (and check for potential fraud as well).
 
  Running a referral based incentive site is an online business, so there is a security risk. Incentives Script uses methods to make it extremely secure and prevent exploitation of the script. Other scripts have been known to have been exploitable, allowing hackers to give themselves and others offer credit and damage the database of users and information. Incentives Script has never had this problem and it is not foreseen that it ever will in the future. You are in safe hands with Incentives Script!
