Travis, I thought it was you who once told me "never give anything away for free". I've been sticking to that as best as possible with my company and whenever I stray from it I get bit each time. I find that the only people who truly appreciate our service are the ones who pay. In fact, the more the pay, the more they appreciate it. The people I gave deal to are the worst customers. With that said, we are kicking around giving $20 cash for each referral. I've done this in my past life as head of internet companies and people love cash! If you really want to make some news, give matching dollars to the charity of your choice.
