Free Gift Sites

[Cipher]

Not usually, no. But it's free because these free item sites are run by Advertising companies, and they get big $$$ for those referrals you're ferreting out for them.

Let's say for instance you want a Macbook (like I do!). A Macbook costs, on average, 2000 US Dollars. You need 18 referrals from the site to get the free laptop. For every referral that you snag for that free laptop site, they get paid something like 750 bucks. 750 x 18 = 13,500 smackeroos... more than enough to pay for your laptop.

Now add into that the bunches of people that can't get their 18. Say, Consumer Bob is only able to get about 10 before he ends up giving up on the whole deal. That means that the free item site ends up making 7,500 bucks of of Bob's referral work without having to pay him back. 7,500 bucks, scot-free.

So yeah, that's how it works.
