How do you track referrals?
We use precise tracking to ensure you get credit for every referral. You can send potential advertisers or publishers to any page on Paved's site by appending your unique tag to the URL. If you are the first to refer them and they sign up within 60 days, our system will recognize this and attribute the referral to you. This first-click attribution model is designed to reward your prompt and proactive promotional efforts.
