Have you thought about putting the code (or a similar one) in the article to try and make up the difference? Nothing like content marketing to turn a failure into a win!

I did put the referral link in the article :)

Doubt it'll make up the difference but it could soften the blow a bit.

It looks like he did.

"sign up using my link" is hyperlinked to a referal address.
