referralrock.com
Link authority for referralrock.com (registrable domain: referralrock.com) from the Common Crawl web graph: PageRank and harmonic centrality history since 2017, current scores, and the site's top backlink sources.
Web-graph authority (0-100)
Domain scores measure referralrock.com as a whole: every subdomain's links rolled up into one node of Common Crawl's domain-level web graph. Host scores measure the exact hostname referralrock.com. WWW scores cover the www variant of that hostname, which the graph tracks as its own entry since January 2026 (before that, www and bare host were merged). A big gap between domain and host usually means the domain's authority lives on other subdomains. PageRank is link-endorsement authority: how much weight the sites linking here carry themselves. Harmonic centrality measures reach: how close this site sits to the rest of the web when following links, which favors broadly connected sites over ones boosted by a few heavy linkers. All are normalized 0 to 100 within each crawl snapshot; a dash means that series does not exist for this site.

Signing up or logging in from here is not joining a referral program. It's for businesses who want to run one."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is referral program software?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Referral program software provides what a business needs to run an automated referral program: a member portal, reward rules, payout management, and much more, all to help you get more referrals."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is a referral program right for my business?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The best sign you're ready is that customers already refer you on their own, even informally. A referral program organizes and rewards that word of mouth, so it works best when there's already some enthusiasm to build on and you have room to take on more business.How you sell matters more than what industry you're in. See the readiness check for the honest version of who a program fits, and who it doesn't."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should I build a referral program myself or use software?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You can start with a spreadsheet and manual payouts, and many businesses do. It usually holds up until the program grows, then tracking who referred whom, preventing fraud, and paying rewards on time becomes real, ongoing work.Software takes over the parts that don't scale. We wrote an honest breakdown of the tradeoffs in building a referral program yourself vs. using Referral Rock."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does it take to see referrals coming in?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Most customers see their first referrals within the first few weeks of launch. How fast depends on the size of your existing customer base and how you promote the program, which is exactly what your dedicated advisor helps you work out before you go live."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I create a referral website?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Our software makes it simple to create a referral website. We provide customizable landing and sharing pages so you can quickly set up a dedicated site for your program.You can add sign-up forms, referral tracking, and reward information, and many of our clients launch a working referral website in just a few hours."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How does referral tracking integrate with my existing systems?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Our referral tracking software connects to popular CRMs, e-commerce, and marketing platforms through pre-built integrations. Data flows both ways between your referral program and your other systems, so tracking stays accurate without manual work."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is it difficult to set up and manage a client referral program?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Modern referral software is built to be user-friendly. Our platform offers templates and guided setup, so businesses of all sizes can launch and manage effective programs without deep technical knowledge.Many of our clients are up and running within hours, on their own or with help from our specialists."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are best practices for implementing referral software?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Start with the fundamentals that separate programs that grow from programs that stall. Reward both sides, not just the referrer. In our analysis of 952 programs, 54% rewarded only the referrer, leaving the friend with no reason to act.Send people to a personalized referral page instead of your homepage, and invite customers while they're still excited. One Referral Rock customer saw 86% of their referrals come within the first 90 days.Promote continuously rather than relying on a single launch email, and lean on the dedicated advisor included with every plan to put these in place before you go live."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the most common referral program mistakes to avoid?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Across 952 programs we've analyzed over 9 years, the biggest killers are inconsistent promotion after launch (behind 82% of stalled programs), rewarding only the referrer, and sending referred friends to a generic homepage or checkout form with no context (which 42% of programs do).Fixing those three is usually what keeps a program producing referrals month after month instead of stalling out."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I promote my referral program to maximize participation?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Treat referral as an ongoing system, not a one-time campaign. We recommend the 3 P's of continuous promotion: Proactive Invites (reach out right after a customer milestone), Passive Entry Points (make the program easy to find across your site, emails, and checkout), and Program Recruiters (let frontline and service teams enroll customers directly).Referral Rock automates ongoing campaigns that target only the customers who haven't joined yet, so promotion keeps running without manual effort."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What rewards and incentives work best for referrals?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It depends on your audience, but the data points in clear directions. Two-sided rewards, something for both the referrer and the friend, consistently outperform one-sided ones, yet most programs still reward only the referrer.Among Referral Rock customers, gift cards are the most popular member reward (61%), while referred friends respond best to discounts and gift cards. Most programs use fixed amounts (92%) rather than a percentage of the sale, which keeps budgeting simple."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I measure the ROI of my online referral program?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Our referral software tracks the metrics that matter: shares, unique people reached, referrals generated, conversion rates, customer acquisition cost through referrals, lifetime value of referred customers, and overall program revenue and costs."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What results can I expect from a referral program?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Results vary by business, but referral traffic is high-intent. Among Referral Rock programs, referred visitors who become customers typically do so within about a day, each share reaches roughly 13 people, and programs average around 1,388 monthly website sessions from referral sources.Manage the leading indicators (shares, then reach, then referrals) rather than waiting on the final count. Our analytics dashboard, brand-visit tracking, and data exports give you the numbers to prove ROI."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How secure is a referral system?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Security is a top priority. Our referral system includes data encryption, secure reward distribution, and full compliance with relevant data-protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA, and we update our protocols regularly to keep your data and your customers' information protected."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can a referral app help prevent fraudulent referrals?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Our referral app includes fraud detection and prevention: IP tracking, duplicate-entry detection, and suspicious-activity monitoring to protect the integrity of your program. Clients see meaningful reductions in fraudulent activity after switching to our system."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does referral software typically cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Referral Rock is one simple plan: the Operator Plan at $250 a month, with unlimited referrals and a dedicated referral expert included. Add-ons cover the features not everyone needs, so you only pay for what you need.Enterprise and Multi-Org plans cover large brands and multi-location or franchise networks."}}]}]}Authority over time
Every Common Crawl web-graph release since 2017, roughly quarterly. The domain series goes back to 2017; Common Crawl only began publishing the host-level graph in 2020, so host lines start there. Click a legend entry to show or hide that line. Flat lines are normal for established sites; watch for sustained rises or drops, which track real gains or losses in who links here.
A note on www: through the end of 2025 the source web graph merged www and non-www hostnames into the bare name, so one host line covers both. Starting in January 2026 the graph splits them into separate entries, which is why www can carry its own scores going forward.
Backlink counts
Unique linking domains seen in Common Crawl's link graphs. This is a different dataset than the 0-100 authority scores above: these are raw counts, host-level for referralrock.com and domain-level for referralrock.com with all its subdomains combined. Common Crawl covers a large sample of the web, not all of it, so treat counts as comparable between sites rather than absolute totals.
Top backlinks in the domain graph
Common Crawl publishes two link graphs. The DOMAIN graph connects whole domains: every link from any page of one domain to any page of another. This table shows the highest-authority domains linking to referralrock.com (including its subdomains), ranked by the linker's PageRank. The table shows the top 1,000; the download carries the full stored list (up to 10,000 linkers) as JSON. Click a linker for its own site profile.
Top backlinks in the host graph
The HOST graph connects exact hostnames, so subdomains count separately. This table shows the highest-authority hosts linking to referralrock.com specifically, ranked by the linker's PageRank. The table shows the top 1,000; the download carries the full stored list (up to 10,000 linkers) as JSON. Click a linker for its own site profile.
