I come across these offers on eBay all the time, but I've never paid
attention to them till I saw this article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/3683524.stm
I then came across a website here in the UK called ipodsgiveaway.co.uk.
The way it works is simple; when you refer someone they have to sign up
for at least one (1) offer, which earns ipodsgiveaway.co.uk money. As
most people refer more than is needed to earn a free iPod, or never
bother to get enough referrers, ipodsgiveaway.co.uk makes far more than
a few free iPod's are worth.
Mobile phone providers are a good example to use.
Think of all the mobile phone ads you see, billboards, television,
magazines, radio, internet, etc. To make it simple, a mobile phone
company can take all the money they spend in a given time period,
divide that number by the number of new customers in that given period,
and that result is what they pay for a new customer, the CPA (Cost Per
Acquisition). So if they spend £1Million in a week, and get 50,000
new customers, they are paying an average of £20 per new customer.
Those numbers are just examples, but mobile phone acquisitions have
some of the highest rates out there -- primarily because they advertise
so much. Sure, not all the people who signed up for the mobile phone
service signed up because of the ads, but for the most part, in simple
terms, companies figure out how much they spent, and how many new
customers they get from that spend.
Internet advertising (however annoying it is -- particularly pop ups
etc.) is effective for advertisers because they can actually measure
results of the campaign. An advertiser would rather pay someone for a
completed signup to their service (Blockbuster, Credit Card, eFax,
etc.) than blindly spend money on un-measurable ways (billboard, radio,
tv, print).
So, all you have to do is go to:

Sign up, complete at least one (1) offer, then refer however many
friends you need to get the gift you want.
