Hungry For Hits has one of the largest Downline builders, with hundreds of programs. Even if you don't actively promote any of the programs in there, you may be missing out on referrals and free advertising by not having your IDs listed for the programs where you are a member.

If you click a link in a Downline builder, it will show your upline's referral ID if they have filled in their ID for that site. If your upline has not filled in their ID, it will go to their upline. If they haven't filled in their ID either, it will keep checking each upline until it eventually defaults to admin's ID.

Your own downline will join under you if they decide to use the Downline builder themselves. This means that you could get referrals to sites both from your direct referrals, and in endless levels of their referrals for the sites where you have filled in your referral ID.

To enter your ID for a site, only add the unique affiliate ID (typically a name or number) at the end of your referral link for the site in question, and click to update at the end of the page (or press Enter). Never fill in entire links, only the number/name at the end. You can use the red "Fill My IDs" button on top of the page to try to import your referral IDs from other sites.
