Award "points" for referring new ads
One of my MAJOR feature requests has been to incorporate an affiliate program into WPC so that people can refer others who post ads and earn a commission for each one.
However, I know that hasn't been strongly considered, probably due to the complexity of incorporating that into the purchase system.
But....is there a way to, in the meantime, figure out a way to award "points" for referrals? So if someone refers a customer who places an ad and WPC recognizes it as a valid, approved ad, a point is given to whomever (registered user) referred that ad? Then, the points can accrue in the user profile and then could be cashed in for free ads or something?
I know this is almost as complicated as the affiliate program part, but it takes some of the work out of programming the calculation of the commission etc....just a point for an ad.
It would seem that incentivizing the ads and their purchase or placement whether by a standard affiliate program or points program could be helpful to just about anyone trying to generate traffic to their sites right?
