So, for obvious reasons, I won't tell which networks I'm using. But here's the method:

Sign up for a URL shortening service, one that has the "Easy Link" tool. Then, follow these steps:

1. Go to webmaster-toolkit . com and use their "Link Extractor" tool.

2. Use your "Easy Link" from the tools and append it to the beginning of every link you extract.

3a. Copy pics of something you might be offering for free or really cheap on Craigslist to a blog post. In the html, include IMG tags and use your links as the src. It will quickly visit the page and count as a view. Then, post an ad on Craigslist and link to your blog for "more pics" or "more info and specs".

3b. Copy news from Google, Yahoo, etc. into blog posts and put that same html in the bottom of the post. Then go promote your post on *****

4. Watch the money roll in.


Sorry if the post is a little jumbled. I'm open to questions.

Don't forget the Thanks button!

Update: Due to popular request, here are a few sites that it should work with (I have not tested them) lst . bz | wwy . me | adjoin . me


PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ASKING WHICH NETWORK I'M USING. I'M ALL FOR SHARING MY METHOD, NOT KILLING IT!

Wouldn't you get banned next day by all networks using their links in img src tag?

May be wrong, but from what I'm reading he's telling you to shorten an image link with a url shorten'r then take the new link and use it as the image source.

So like:

Code:

<img src="http://bit.ly/shortlink" />

Then that URL is setup to go to the image, like I said might be wrong, but that's my understanding.

If that's right, then kudos to the OP, haven't seen that before.

yeah i am not quite following what is being said either?

i think this is correct aswell.

If the <img src=""> is the 'html' part he is talking about, then all you need is somewhere that has high traffic and allows for the img html tag to be posted.

i guess he meant 4ch4n.org

all he doing is cookie stuffing an image, what i dont get is, how will u get get paid ?

are u directing to an offer or what.. please tell more details..

Any way this could be done on a forum? E.g as an avatar....

Just curious.

He's using link shortener that pays you per visit (adf.ly, etc.). So when someone views the image, it'll load up the adf.ly ad real quick before switching to the actual image. The user will basically never know it's going on until they look at the site source.

Couldn't be done with the forum avatar because most forums (Anything that uses PHPBB, SMF, vBulletin, IPB, etc.) will all upload the image on their server. You have a higher chance of it working as a signature or a image in a post, but once again it depends on the forum because some check to make sure you have the right extension inside the IMG tag.

Anyone trying ? , worked... ?

you have given an amazing idea, i will try to get it worked with smilies.

Did you understand what he said?

this is pretty smart. thanks for sharing

Thanks for this method! I have a great idea for this..

adf.ly could come in handy on my website. $4 per 1k visits is a pretty nice payout too.

to get paid in adf.ly you need to click in the skip ad button, how do we bypass it with that img? I don't get it :/

There are different types of monetization in adfly - if you choose top banner, you don't need to skip it but you make less money. And noone said he's working with adfly.

eLhomer is right, OP didn't say he was using Adfly, I was just providing it as an example. Before you ask, OP doesn't mention who he uses (deliberately), but there are plenty of them out there.

ah very clever ! i can see more potential if you use it on forums, problem is im not sure if you will get paid from doing this

wow! thanks, will try it

huh.....

Not so good conversions...

I think that link shorter use scripts to prevent load of him links on iframe or something like this ..so you want to tell me in this way this will not happen and image will be displayed every time that someone load my page and i will get money for every load of my page prom unique users?
If this is right i see idea in my mint with big potential...I love method that make money with not big effort
Thanks

So,

People that click the blog link on Craigslist will load the HTML with the img links that have your easy link in them. So each visitor counts as a view for the ad? Or do they actually have to click the pics in the blog post to be counted?

Essentially, you are using the IMG tag and making the src your shortened URL. The tag still works even if there isn't an image extension on the end. Once the webpage tries to retrieve the "image" it counts as a visit.

Basically, you just want to use your "easy link" with as many links as you can.

For example, if my "easy link" is sht.co/69/ Then I would open Microsoft Excel.

In column A type <img src="

In column B paste your easy link

In column C paste regular URLs

In column D type " style="visibility:hidden"

Then copy the entire spreadsheet to notepad and use the "find and replace" tool to get rid of the spaces.

Fuck it. I'll give away my method just to make this easier.

I have a Blogger blog. I make a new post and put a bunch of pics of iPads that look like the same iPad and look like they were taken by an amateur. Then, I paste a bunch of the IMG tags with my shortened URLs. After that, make a post on CL selling an iPad for cheaper than everyone else and link to your blog post for the pics. It has about a 22% success rate meaning when I have 1,000 IMG tags, each person usually loads about 222 of them.

Any more questions?

And this trick doesn't work on Adfly. However, I did write a script that clicks through the Skip Ad buttons. The only problem is that Adfly only allow 5 visit per ip per day total.

It's a paid URL shortener, every hit is a conversion.

They will load the blog post which will automatically start loading the IMG tags. I usually put a lot of pics or a long article (if you're going that route) so they stay on the page longer.

Most paid URL shorteners use frame busters. This gets around that because the IMG tag retrieves the header data which counts as a visit.

Have you written the clicker in jquery or php ?

Have you ever cashed out after using your system?
Cheers!

Meann, I wrote the clicker in VBScript

Zemanel, I am scheduled to withdraw on Friday so I'll keep everyone updated

smart! .. would be interesting to see if it will work and you get paid though

are we supposed to use lots of accounts.

i am expecting that craiglist will delete the account if there is any redirect.

correct me if i am wrong.

Why not take one extra step and host the images on sharefoco or something similar on top of it? Then you get paid for the short link visit, and for the visit to the image.

How long does it take for a page with so many images to load?

Here is an example to automate click with vbscript

This opens google and clicks search button;

'Search Google
Dim objWshShell,IE,searchStr

Set objWshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
searchStr = InputBox("Search")

With IE
.Visible = True
.Navigate "http://www.google.com"

'Wait for Browser
Do While .Busy
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
.Document.getElementsByName("q").Item(0).Value = searchStr
.Document.getElementsByName("btnK").Item(0).Click
End With

I have been using the CL account. They allow you to have links in your ads.

I think everyone has the image part mixed up. THERE ARE NO IMAGES. The SRC for the IMG tag is the shortened link. And you use style to make it invisible. They never see anything. They basically load in the background while they are looking at pics or reading articles.

And since you have the images hidden (style="visibility:hidden") then you can have like a ton of them hidden on a page, and add real pics and content to try and get them to stay on the page for as long as possible (still using the easylink) while the URL shortener catches the "views".

Seems like all you need now is a URL shortener that allows more than 5 IP hits per day lol (or tons upon tons of traffic lol)

so what is the affiliate then ????

Exactly, you can have content on the page to keep them there as long as possible. The longer they stay, the more visits that are cached.

BTW, I have had a few messages asking about the script I wrote to bypass Adfly intersitial ads. For some reason, I still can't post code.

And the beauty of this method is that it is so simple and effective. I started doing this about 22 hours ago and my stats are as follows:

419 pageviews on my blog
$120 profit

So actually, it's more than $100 per day

I'm even thinking about sending some junk traffic to the blog because that will count as views too

Haha wait until you get paid before you spend actually money on it.

I've got about 20 img tags in my blog post, and they add a big empty space at the end of the post. Any ideas on how to fix this? I guess I could only use small photos, but it would be difficult to weed through. Also, does it have to be a new picture for every link or can we have 1000 pointing to the same image?

Edit: Nvm got it.
