A few days ago I was here at Wealthy Affiliate and all of a sudden I noticed I had received a referral, my first referral. Wealthy Affiliate’s referral program is awesome!

I was very surprised, and was asking myself “How could this be so?” To those who don’t know a referral is a person that has clicked on a link that you have provided and then joined Wealthy Affiliate. I had always though that you obtained referrals when you were promoting Wealthy Affiliate on your site and providing affiliate links there. But my site is about Learning Italian and I don’t have one single Wealthy Affiliate affiliate link on it (not even a banner).

So I was surprised and very happy with my first referral. I have been researching on the ways you can obtain a referral and I have come up with at least three. I will enter into details on this tutorial. Come with me.

Thank you Henry, this is a great lesson for me. However I don't understand, if I share a post outside WA, why wouldn't the affiliate link be the one of the author of the post ? This would be fair, wouldn't it ?

Hi! Thank you! I have been learning about this also! The thing goes like this: if you share my post on your site using your affiliate link, and a persona that visits your site click on your affiliate link to my post and joins WA, then you receive the referral. And I believe it’s fair for you to receive the referral because it’s your traffic. People that visit your site or you contact through social media are your traffic and if they join, it’s fair for you to receive the referral. :)
What do you think?

Hi, google can access everything on WA other than private messages. All posts/questions/tutorials and blogs are indexed by google.

I hope that helps?

Hi, well firstly those articles are years old. Secondly, I can't speak for other sites/content but I can tell you without a doubt that everything here at WA is searched and indexed by google and other search engines.

If you want to post content on your website and don't want google to index it, you can click no follow on the editing pages of your posts.

I hope this answers your questions?

Hey, Mahendra! Thank you very much for stopping by! I really appreciate your comments and remarks.

As, my dear fellow member Juliana (JBond1) says, content here at WA is searched and indexed by Google. And if you don’t want this to happen, then you must click no follow on the editing pages of your posts.

Here is a very useful training from another fellow member on this matter. I know you will enjoy reading it very much:

Posts created here at WA are not password protected. Only your WA account is password protected.

Yeah, got the things. Basically we have an option to allow our posts on WA either to be indexed by SE or otherwise. This is how things work, right ?

No. I do not know of any options that allow us to choose if posts created here within WA get indexed.

Seeing how they do not appear on our own domain URL, but rather on that of Wealthy Affiliate, we do not have a choice in whether they get indexed or not.
