# Referral Program

As a Publisher, you can earn extra revenue through the referral program.

## How It Works <a href="#how-does-it-work" id="how-does-it-work"></a>

​Click the "Referral" tab on your Admin Panel as seen below.

You have several options:

* Use your customized **Direct Signup link** and hyperlink it to the text within your website.
* Add a banner to your site using the code provided, which takes your visitors directly to the main website.
* Add a banner, replacing **https:** with your Direct Signup link.

​On the referral tab you see multiple banner options and sizes to fit the style of your own site. Go ahead and give it a try!​​

## How You Make Referral Earnings <a href="#how-do-i-make-referral-earnings" id="how-do-i-make-referral-earnings"></a>

​For every new Publisher who signs up and receives payments, you receive a certain percentage of the revenue generated by each new approved Publisher, for as long as they remain active. The number of referrals you receive revenue for is listed under "Active" in the **Your clients** section, as shown below.

"Inactive or Active" referrals are accounts that are currently in an inactive (pending or archived) state.​

**Note**: The referral program is for Publishers who want to bring other Publishers to the platform. There is currently no referral program for referring Advertisers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.exads.com/publishers/referral-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
