Hi Benjamin_m5,
I work for Papaya Mobile in Beijing, China. We have launched a project called AppFlood, that is basically a cross-promotion network for app developers and publishers. It focuses on transparency and flexibility, you can check it out here: [url=www.appflood.com]AppFlood[/url]

We opened a referral program recently and I was wondering if you would be interested in it? All you need to do is put a link in your signature/blog that would refer to our site. You can earn then 5% off every developer who signs up for AppFlood through the link you will provide.

Let me know if you're interested, for more info you can contact me at: weronika@papayamobile.com

Cheers

I recommend everyone not to do that, because in most times you earn nothing, you only have to pay!!! Keep attention at messages like these. I received a few as i published my two games last year and i really recommend to ignore that!
Just my thoughts about this

    Yeah, I checked out the website and it looks legit, but I hate spam. I'd likely not use them because of it... but that's me. :)
