very similar to successnexus - but, they have a very good blog going as well.
Promotioner is a lean rebranding effort to focus more on the site-wide referral idea, and less on the all-in-one ecommerce + mailing list + referral program tool.
Internet marketing garbage. Alas, tis the fate of HN. "Just ask 2 of your friends to visit: http://Promotioner.com/viral/?u=yourname@email.com and you will receive the report "5 Elements of a Successful Viral Marketing Campaign" for free in your email."
Awesome idea. Quick thought: You would get a lot more users by testing difference bases(reducing the 15 to something really small, like 5). Feels like more people would do it, you would get more than 5 anyways, and the the exponential gains outweighs the difference in the base.
(I had kept the milestone at 15 clicks as a comparison to $3. But you're right, lower base doesn't matter if it can increase the number of people who start sharing.)
I think most people would be pretty wary of adding their email address to a link and posting publicly. Especially on a strange site they dont know about.
The logo looks nice, not sure about the heavy black colour scheme though and I have to say that the headline font looks positively ghastly.

Thanks for your comment. I'm at a loss as to how to respond. I'm show casing my startup that is a referral marketing app. Of course, the demo that I set up for it will be about referral marketing too, no?
Why does it require me to put my email address on the end of it for a reward. Considering that for anyone to get any real benefit out of it the links (containing the email address) would have to be posted publicly. Just seems like a huge spam magnet.

Don't be an asshole.

This second option could lead to spam worries. Thats why, we offer optional usernames. The first time our system recognizes a new email id, an email is sent out to them with instructions on setting up a username with which they can replace their email id while promoting URLs.
(Also, we'll be launching social media integration buttons next week, which will automatically shorten the URLs and disguise your email ids.)
