Recently-launched GetInvites.org is a great new service dedicated to sharing and receiving private tracker invites.
How It Works
Easy. Sign up, and start requesting invites. GetInvites employs a ‘Karma’ system for user rankings. Simply put, members who have more Karma go higher up in the list for each invite request. Karma is built by fulfilling other members’ requests - the more requests you fill, the higher your Karma ranking.
If you’re already somewhat established in the private tracker community, it shouldn’t be difficult at all for you to build up Karma at GetInvites. There are so many low-level tracker listings to choose from - you’ll be able to fill requests quite easily. Some of the ‘easier-to-fill’ popular invite requests include Torrent-Damage, Demonoid, BitSpyder, Pretome, STMusic & TorrentBytes.
Filling Requests:
1.Browse through the tracker list - you’ll notice email addresses of the top Karma-ranked members for each request. To keep things fair, select a member from the Top 5. Click on one of the email addresses, and leave this page open.
2.In a new tab or browser page, login to your private tracker, and navigate to your "invite" page. Copy/paste an email address from Step 1, and send out the invitation.
3.After sending the invite, go back to GetInvites, and click on the button that says, "Click here once you have sent the invitation". The member that you sent the invite to will receive two emails - one of which obviously being the invitation from your private tracker, and the second one from GetInvites to which he/she will acknowledge the invite, and add a positive feedback point to your Karma.
Does It Really Work?
Yes. If you’re looking to break into the private BitTorrent scene by starting out with some low-level trackers, you’ll be able to pick something up relatively quickly. Looking for a more elusive invite? That may take weeks. It all depends on the number of users, your Karma, and how many requests there are for each tracker. However, it does work - just check out the amazing stats below for how many invite giveaways have been fulfilled. In just a few short weeks since they’ve been around, 568 people have received an invitation to Demonoid through GetInvites. And the numbers are rising fast.

Some Tips:
— Use a fresh gmail account when signing up with GetInvites. Hotmail and Live email accounts will automatically report the signup confirmation message as spam, so check your spam folder if using one of these. Yahoo is not recommended, as they tend to block signup emails.
— Like everything else, there is a potential for scammers and exploits. View the Karma for a member first before sending out an invite. Remember, Karma comes in two flavours - good and bad.
— Never use the same username / email address that you used on GetInvites for your private tracker accounts. This includes any existing trackers you have, and future ones. Play it smart.
