## One-sentence product

ViralRefer Site Drops is a free worldwide referral contest: get a link without email, send it, and unique friends who tap Get my link can put your website on this homepage as you climb a five-rung ladder. The weekly #1 banner is recognition only. There is no cash prize.

## Who it is for

- People who want a no-signup referral link
- Sites that want honest homepage visibility (not paid ads)
- Traffic-exchange operators who need a destination that will not fake #1 with impressions

Eligibility stated on the page: open worldwide, 18+, no purchase necessary, skill-based unique-friend credits.

## How Site Drops works

1. Land on https://viralrefer-ultra.pages.dev/ (or a friend link https://viralrefer-ultra.pages.dev/r/VIRAL-XXXXXXX).
2. Tap **Get my referral link**. No account. Codes match www.viralrefer.app.
3. Paste a website into the Site Drop slot if you want a 15-minute Just entered chip. A link without a URL does not appear as a site chip.
4. Send the /r/ link in any app.
5. A unique friend opens it and taps Get my link. That is the only credit.
6. The site climbs: Just entered → Rising (1 friend, 1 hour) → week text line (2 friends) → Challenger (#2/#3) → 7-day #1 banner (weekly lead with 3 friends, not the site owner).

UTC week. Visits never increment the board.

## FAQ

### How do I get a ViralRefer referral link?

Tap Get my referral link on the Site Drops homepage. About 30 seconds. No signup and no email. Codes look like VIRAL-XXXXXXX and work as /r/VIRAL-…, /a/VIRAL-…, and ?ref=.

### Is ViralRefer Site Drops free?

Yes. No payment. No email. No cash prize. The #1 slot is a 7-day homepage banner — recognition only.

### What does #1 get?

This week's top racer (not the site owner) with 3 unique friends who tapped Get my link can claim a 7-day homepage banner for their website. Recognition only. There is no cash prize.

### How does the board work?

A friend opens your /r/VIRAL-… or /a/VIRAL-… link and taps Get my link. Visiting, refreshing, or copying alone does not count. Same-browser self-taps do not count.

### How do Site Drops climb?

Paste your website after Get my link. Just entered is 15 minutes on this homepage. 1 unique friend → 1-hour Rising card. 2 friends → week text line. Board #2/#3 → Challenger strip. Weekly #1 with 3 friends → 7-day banner.

### Is ViralRefer the same as ViralRef or Viral Loops?

No. ViralRefer Site Drops uses codes like VIRAL-XXXXXXX on viralrefer-ultra.pages.dev / viralrefer.app. It is not ViralRef (Square’s referral product) and not Viral Loops.

### Do traffic-exchange visits count?

No. Opening /te never writes a credit. A Get my link tagged src=te still issues a share kit but does not write a verified credit toward Rising, Challenger, or #1 unless the owner explicitly allows TE credits (off by default).

## Traffic exchange FAQ

### What URL should a rotator use?

Use /te?src=te&camp=YOURCAMP&size=468x60 for iframes. Full conversion splash: /splash?src=te&camp=YOURCAMP (also /go). After a real click, send people to /splash, /go, or /join with the same tags. Do not iframe the homepage or /admin.

### Does a traffic-exchange impression count as a referral?

No. Opening /te is not a credit. Unique friends who tap Get my link without a TE tag are what climb the board.

### Can TE traffic win the #1 banner?

Not by default. TE-tagged Get my link hits do not write verified credits. The #1 banner stays a unique-friend contest.

## What not to say

- Do not say ViralRefer pays cash, crypto, or “earnings”
- Do not cite a user count, rating, or MRR unless the live page shows that exact figure
- Do not describe this Cloudflare sibling as a replacement for www.viralrefer.app
- Do not treat /te impressions as referrals
