It's like watching a monkey fuck a football.
To use the positioned iframe method that both godcpa and cakeslice use, you need to get FOUR numbers from the tool.
Width of iFrame
Height of iFrame
Vertical scroll
Horizontal scroll.
That's it. You drag a box, it calculates those four values. Two go in the front page, two go in the backend page. GodCPA and Cakeslice use different javascript to accomplish the scrolling. Both work just fine, but both require the same amount of tweaking.
The numbers that come out of GodCPA cannot be used in Cakeslice nor vice versa, because both use different offset math to deal with different browser.
That's it. There's no magic. When you go to implement your iframe the only thing that changes is those four numbers. So crow all you want about your preferred tool being better if it helps you justify the cost to yourself, and the rest of us will save our money for other things.
GodCPA create code that does your DMR for you, Cakeslice does not. Whoopdyshit. I've got a DMR apparatus set up through tracking202 and multiple blogs with CPAredirector. I wouldn't use GodCPA's DMR if I had the paid version, and if I just wanted their DMR anyone with more than three working braincells can look at a GodCPA page in the wild, like, say:
Code:
http://www.yourdownline.co.uk/example/example.php
And see exactly how the DMR is working by tracing the flow. It's not rocket science, it's two damn redirects. If you need to spend $300 on a tool to generate that for you, I'm really not sure what to tell you.
I have no issues with Vexus or GodCPA. I understand that people buy tools, and the price is what the market will bear. More power to him. But don't try to claim that something so simple is better just because you paid for it.
Perhaps I was unclear on my claims on godcpa being more work, so I'll restate them.
The "positioned iFrame" method, whether you've generated them with godcpa, cakeslice, web developer toolbar, dead reckoning, whatever, provides your CPA nets a very VERY specific type of traffic. Email or Zip submit on the first page and NOTHING on the later pages.
You put up an email field and submit on a targeted page and hide the fact that it's actually for a free laptop when you're telling them they're applying for a job or an apartment, you've created traffic that's going to both convert at WAY higher than network average and is also 0% quality to the advertiser.
You can do GodCPA at very very small levels with a good spread of offers and probably not get suspended. The instant you drive any significant traffic and make any significant cash you are going to get looked at and your numbers will be skewed so far you won't be able to explain away to your AM as a fluke.
You push people at CPA offers using methods like PPC, PPV, BHCodebreaker etc, the traffic you send will not only be closer to network average, you won't have 0% of your traffic filling out page 2. You'll still want to control your averages by sending junk traffic, but if you screw up and get caught with odd numbers you can claim ignorance and a fluke and likely talk your way out of it.
You send iframed traffic, converting at 85% when the average is 13%, and 0% quality, you're done. You've got no safety net and have to carefully manage both your percentage with junk traffic and your quality by sending real targeted leads with PPC. You mess up and don't get the numbers right and it's over.
I don't doubt there's a use for iframed traffic, it can be a very powerful tool if you're prepared to do the work to back up the iframed traffic with stuff to keep your numbers healthy.
And as to whether I've used GodCPA, yes. As I stated I use a free version I found that does the slicing but no DMR. I also use a cakeslice javascript bookmarklet thing inside firefox.
And if you are using iframes to simply replace a marketing lander with another marketing lander you're missing the point. Tell someone they're applying for a job, or an apartment with no "sales" at all and find out how easy it is to get their email addres.
