| Recommend-it - The Internet's Word of Mouth Archive |
This Recommend-it - The Internet's Word of Mouth Special Edition Newsletter is about Recommend-It, a free website referral service utilized by over 56,000 webmasters. Launched in 1997, Recommend-It was the first and has always been the largest web site referral service. Recommend-It's service empowers Internet users with the ability to tell their friends and colleagues about a web site they are visiting. These word-of-mouth referrals can bring a web site additional traffic, subscribers and sales. In fact, a 1999 Jupiter Communications report found that word-of-mouth referrals were the best way to encourage Internet users to visit a web site.
I had the pleasure of interviewing the VP of Technology & Strategy at Recommend-It, David Rosner, for this issue. In addition to presenting Recommend-It's benefits to webmasters, this issue will also discuss the new iRecommend-It service which provides incentives for Recommend-It users to refer web sites in the 56,000 webmaster network.
Recommend-It is an innovative company and we have decided to bring it to your attention: www.recommend-it.com

About Recommend-It
Recommend-It is a free web site referral service that rewards your
web site visitors when they tell their friends about your content.
Every web site visitor has the potential to generate additional
traffic, but most don't because of the hassle involved with
switching to their email program and copying and pasting URL's and
text from a web site. Recommend-It solves this problem by empowering
your web site's visitors with the ability to quickly and easily
tell their friends about your content. After a quick visit to
Recommend-It's customizable pop-up window to input their friend's
email addresses, your users return to surfing at your website.
Recommend-It's servers generate a detailed message to your visitor's
friends encouraging them to visit your web site.
Your visitors are encouraged to utilize the Recommend-It service
because they can enter to win $10,000 and other prizes when they do.
Recommend-It provides significant customization options to its
webmasters, including a customizable pop-up window and a collection
of buttons that help incentivize the use of the Recommend-It
service. Recommend-It provides statistics on the number of visitors
who utilize the service, and how many friends actually visit the
referred website.
Recommend-It is not just a free website referral service - it
actually pays webmasters for any new users who sign up to
Recommend-It's newsletters. For each new unique subscriber,
Recommend-It pays webmasters $.30.
Finally, Recommend-It is a breeze to install. Webmasters can have
a fully-customizable and revenue-generating referral tool installed
on their websites in less than ten minutes.

Less than two weeks ago, Recommend-It launched iRecommend-It,
a consumer-oriented service designed to generate significant traffic
to the web sites in the Recommend-It network. Internet users who
take advantage of the Recommend-It feature on one of over 56,000
participating member sites are now entered to win $10,000 and other
prizes. Users will earn additional entries when their friends and
colleagues visit the referred web site upon receiving a Recommend-It
e-mail. By providing users with compelling prizes, Internet users
are incentivized to spread the word about a website's content.
Each contest entrant will be able to move their entries between
contests through a personalized iRecommend-It page, which is
dynamically generated when a user sends their first web site
referral. The personalized pages will suggest additional web sites
that may interest a user, and include links to the RecCenter,
Recommend-It's directory of the most popular sites in its network.
The new iRecommend-It service is fully integrated into
Recommend-It's core viral marketing tool, and users can share their
iRecommend-It pages with their friends from the web or by including
a link in their outgoing emails.
With the advent of iRecommend-It, Recommend-It now provides a
free viral marketing tool for web sites of any size. Complete with a
large cash prize, affiliate program, detailed referral tracking, and
the ability to co-brand, webmasters can plug Recommend-It's solution
into their web site in a matter of minutes. Member sites will
receive targeted exposure by appearing on millions of personalized
iRecommend-It pages and in Recommend-It's RecCenter.
