Lets brainstorm

I love testing new methods so the other day I set up this page: http://www.thelocalforum.co.uk/download236152/ (Its a live link because the domain is mine). I know, the page looks amazing! I then went around searching for "where can I download" on various question and answer sites and pretty much just plugged my link saying: "You can download it here, enjoy!". So people clicked on the link, thought that they needed a Yahoo toolbar to access that page, so they went ahead and downloaded it. I then got my precious $1.

Believe it or not it actually worked.

What I need to do now is to actually design a better looking landing page with realistic looking warnings etc. and automate the whole process. I don't have time to go around plugging each link manually.

Where do you think I can find a lot of people desperate for something? For example some sort of celebrity fan club where I can go and say: "OMG I have just found her naked pictures here!" or even run a CPC campaign along the lines.

I love it when people come up with ideas like these. You should do a little to hide your url in the status bar. This can be done with javascript. or you could just use an htaccess and cloak the link to something yourdomain.com/yahoo

Yeah definately do what Genjutsu said - it will look much better.

Also you are on to something that I did a while back. It made me a killing and it looks like you may do the same.

how do you get paid for someone to install the yahoo toolbar

Another great way to double your income is to stuff that page with a cookie. Make sure you take precaution to hide/change the referer so your affiliate doesnt find the page.

update: Just went out on the piss and while I was happily drinking and making a fool out of myself in front of beautiful ladies I have made even more conversations even with my ugly landing page. £270 EMP not bad ey!

Gonna sober up and do some work tomorrow.

Good idea but I really don't get much traffic. Good job it converts well.

how do you hide the referrer

**Riyonuk** · #9 (**permalink**) 07-25-2008, 03:36 AM

I don't understand where or how your getting paid?

I don't, I send traffic to my landing page.

The offer is on CJ and you get paid every time someone installs Yahoo toolbar (US traffic only). Not only its a better deal compared to other PPI, people also tend to trust Yahoo.

mightybh you are a legend mate. Simple yet effective. I wasn't even aware yahoo had this, I have already made a massive $1 but I can see the potential with this if you can drive hordes of traffic to your page.

I think PPC is the only way forward if you don't feel like working your ass off every day. I shall be experimenting with this soon.
