How it works...The best way to generate genuine traffic is by referrals, and our unique importer script helps you do just that. Your visitors simply provide their email address and password and our script fetches a list of contacts as an array.. Your application can then choose to send emails to these contacts, store them in your database, match them to existing members, etc.
