Filling in CPA's on your own

[ploaie_neagra]

you'r free to do anything you want

Completing your own CPA offers is actually biting the hand that's feeding you. You got accepted into the CPA network to make money thru IM, and after going thru the acceptance process - cheating is how you show gratitude to the network for giving you a chance to represent them and their offers???

Read up on various monetizing methods and take the time to implement and test them.
Some CPA networks with just ban you for cheating, others may take you to court.

fraud, and wont convert for advertiser why would they pay you for a email that will never convert for them, everyone in it to make money.

so basically if you dont make them money only make money for your self they will just cut ties with you, theirs a million more publishers that do sent legit converting traffic. believe me they dont need you.

 

[don101]

beware man...its fraud and you will just waste you time

 

[stressfree]

what small thinking and a waste of time...

 

[HitYa]

This is stupid. The advertiser will eventually see that your leads aren't converting. You're wasting your time and other people's money.

 

[J0E]

FRAUD!!

No offense but it's people like you that make it harder for newbies to get into CPA and make it harder for ppl to get approved into CPA companires!

Stop this and concentrate your efforts on making money legitly rather than such twisted techniques that will eventually get you banned.

I'm an advertiser and the amount of fradulant leads we receive is unbelievable. We catch many of them right away by scrubbing them through TargusInfo. But a lot of them have mostly accurate info and pass TargsInfo. The rest of the leads we phone verify and catch a lot then.

The leads we attempt to phone verify have mostly accurate info, except when we call no one every answers. My question is, where do my fradualnt affilates get these phone numbers that just ring forever?

I hope the mods ban ur ass LoL no offence.... but we dont want your kind on the forum.... that is like a mafia group having police officers amongst them when they have their meetings !

Its just not good for business.

Now be a good boy and close your account sir.

 

[daffy]

Lol!!

 

[anymore]

I wont work for too long, i tried that cuz i was a lazy bum, now im banned from 3 networks. so try to mix in blackhat and whitehat and come up with something ... uh.. more clever.

 

[groomsxxx]

yeah, definately dont fill out your own cpa offers. thats a big....FAIL.

 

[AgentZero]

FRAUD, people who commit these acts should be banned from this forum.
I hope you get caught quickly.

like my friends from Detroit say "get it how yu live cuz the mothafuckers tellin yu wats wrong not gon feed you"....i dont do it even though i started like this ive never been banned but i wasnt stupid either..if yu do it just know your only limited to a couple hundred dollars a network if that..think about it as a advertiser if you have one affiliate making 1000 a month on your one offer your not gonna just wanna give your money away so yu will investigate...but just maybe if you get away with 50-100 dollars they mite be curious but the effort it takes to look at the detail wont be worth the time....but if yu get greedy and try agian it might spark thier curiosity again....it can be done but if yu wanna be successful as a IM this isnt the route to go as i think i was only lucky and i reinvested the money to build a real relationship amongst networks...

I've been thinking about filling in some CPA offers on my own. Now ofcourse there are many things that the affiliate networks and the program itself can track to identify that the leads were coming from me. I have not yet tried this technique as I'm trying to make sure I've got everything right before I start.

So I'm trying to compile a list of what to do to make every CPA entry look legitimit. Please add your own ideas and I'll edit them in the original post.

Regular CPA
Email address: Just create a free email address on one of the free services (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, ...). Don't always use the same mail provider and don't always use the same structure for your username ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]). Optionally set up an automatic forward to one of your regular email addresses to click the confirm mail and perhaps some other mailings to make your lead look less suspicious.


Other personal details (ZIP codes, names, ...): Make something up. Most networks will have access to a database linking IP ranges with physical locations, so watch out on submitting information that is obviously too fake. Choose zipcodes that are roughly in your area.


IP: This is the obvious one that the networks track. CPA leads coming from the same IP will always mean a red flag. You can use anonymous proxies but most networks will know these and discount them. I would go wardriving and submit one lead per different affiliate network per new IP. Or use the free internet from Starbucks, ... Remind yourself that most of these networks are not secure. You can also get a VPN for around 5$ a month that gives you access to quite a lot of different IP's.


Referer: I would use a legitimate looking blog or website to get the referer. I would always click through to the CPA offer through this blog. Just draw some content from a different site, add it to your blog and off you go. This will make your leads look less suspicious than when you blank referer. Also very good if email marketing is not allowed. If they track the visitors on your blog (with a pixel) make sure you send some fake traffic as well.

A good idea is to make your blog look regional. If it seems made for the inhabitants of your area/city, it won't be at all suspicious if all the IP's are seemingly coming from that area as well.


User Agent: An important one as most people won't bother as they don't know that the networks can track them or they don't know how to change it. A user agent basically looks like this: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT x.x; us; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/xxxxxxxxxx Firefox/3.x.x (.NET CLR 3.x.xxxxx)" (x's added for privacy). With so many different versions of browsers and OS's around, you can see that it will be pretty unlikely that two (or more) legitimate leads have the exact same user agent.

Changing browsers will at least do half the trick and will probably suffice. If you really want to play it hardcore, you can change the User Agent manually in Firefox by typing "about:config" in the address bar, right-clicking anywhere, choose New - String, type preference name "general.useragent.override" and then add anything into the next field. This will now be your default user agent. Ofcourse you are better of making it look legit (just play around a bit or look for possible user agents) than just changing it to something random.

To get rid of the override for good, right-click on the item, click reset, close Firefox and you'll be back to normal.


Screen resolution (and window size): This is also easily tracked. Now the screen resolution won't be such a big mess as long as you use the resolutions that are mostly used (1024 x 768 and 1280x1024). However I would suggest occasionally changing this as well in your settings.

It is also possible to track the size of the window that is open at the moment. If you'd want to make sure you're safe, just use full screen browser.


Other browser related stuff: Color depth, javascript, cookie, java, flash player, quicktime, realplayer, encoding acceptance, gateway interface, header acceptance, ... These can also easily be tracked. Most browsers and computers have similar settings though so it won't be very suspicious if any or all of these will be the same.


If you keep all the items above in your mind and submit one offer per network per different setting, you will probably be absolutely fine.

Please add anything else that you might consider.

Your a fvcking Moron. Good luck being paid or getting on networks. I just notified everyone network Owner I know about you.

Idiot.

Scrapebox, Xrumer, SENuke, Bookmarking Demon all these products are all doing some type of fraud, but since people use these products for spamming (which is fraud) and violates all of the TOS on the sites these products spam.

I hear what you are saying, but you need to look at the end result. If an IM takes content from another site and that information is accessed by a consumer, and said consumer gets what he or she wants or continues searching, etc. the end result is the same. The consumer either finds what he or she wants and continues searching for knowledge or they click on a link to get knowledge and everybody gets paid. Win-win-win situation.


However, having worked internet leads for years I can attest to the fact that junk leads are a major PITA and complete time waster and money loser. Only winner in this scenario is the affiliate. Seems like the lead quality in the past 6 months has suffered a lot. I imagine part of has to do with the economy, as well as affiliates pushing garbage leads.

When you take war-driving into consideration it seems like a lot of work. I dont care about the ethics part - I judge no one.

The high-quality proxies I have bought from providers on BHW have never "shown up" as proxies no matter what I run them through. Take mouse movement over CPA into consideration (pad and mouse) if using a laptop.

I am not saying that the OP is right, I am saying there is no such thing as a half a$$ crook, and what that means as if your doing what he is doing he is ripping CPA companies and people off, while people who use spam tools are really ripping the whole internet off because they are ruining sites like twitter and so on.
