[METHOD Step-by-Step with CODE] My Twisted Method to $1k+ a week - NOOB friendly

[Pepper Jr.]

Guys dont fall for this bullshit method hes just trying to get you to buy conntent lock pro which he happened to make

 

[lostkitten]

Not a single one of my visitors has ever carried a referer. I blank my referers because my traffic sources are exactly that: MINE.

How do you do this?

 

[JohnsonDaniel]

How do you do this?

Well, over the years I've done it in a number of different ways. I used to run everything through a DMR, and, as that became less useful (traffic not blanked gets dumped, and more and more browsers started belonging to what needed to be "dumped"), I started coding my own scripts, generally integrated with whichever tracking system I wanted to use at the time.

I started a thread recently to discuss the pros and cons of blanking versus spoofing, and shared my latest faking and blanking scripts in that thread, which can be found here:

[DISCUSS] ★ Referers ★ Blanking vs Faking ★ Time to Settle This OFA!

The blanker just got released a couple of days ago, I have now changed things slightly so it blanks Opera also, but only tested up to v9,4 - and I know that the latest version (11 something) still doesn't get blanked.
I'll be posting the update to the blanker (with Opera blanking) over the next day or two, once I've run it through some further tests.

HTH

Something to learn again and something to buy again.

All I wanted is to have a page and my CPA network won't see

1) the page coz they might go "aha, you're using CLP" ban... (is thats whats gonna happen? should i be worried of cpa network seeing my page)

2) hide my traffic source, yes. i know. but what you talked about, i have no idea how to do that. the only solution i have available (and know how to set) is CPA Redirector plugin on Wordpress which takes traffic to a url but directly takes them to offer page. But when cpa network checks, they will see a blog landing page where its 'supposedly' coming from.

Are you saying those are not enough? I have to apply the blank/spoof you're talking about?

I just spent 12 hrs yesterday and today reading and studying this thread of yours.

Something to learn - yes, plenty, learning never stops

Something to buy - where? what? I have shared, for free, two scripts, a referer blanker and a referer spoofer, there is nothing to buy at all.

If your choice is to spoof, you can use CPA-R, many have done so for years.
I offered an alternative, easier to set up, imho, easier to use with parameters, and self-hosted, in one central location.
You don't have to use my spoofer but, if you should choose to, it's FREE, there is nothing to buy, nothing to pay for.

If, otoh, you prefer to blank, I offered a self-hosted blanking script, again, 100% FREE. You don't need to use it, you can continue to rely on yesterday's technology (DMR's) or on 3rd-party services like Referer.us or anonym.to, etc - but, given an offer of reliable blanking for 95% of browsers, and self-hosted, do you really WANT to rely on 3rd-party services over which you have no control?
Especially if the offer is free.

Yes, I have developed a script which, imo, is the best content locking solution in the industry at the present time, and I say so, unreservedly, in my threads and posts.
However, I also shared a method which currently makes me good bank, I shared a Yourls plugin which allows you to do some pretty cool things with an open-source, free, url shortener, I shared a referer blanking script (first time ever someone has shared something of this quality and reliability for free) and I shared a referer spoofing script.
ALL of those shares are FREE, for BHW members, although they weren't free for me, as they took hours and hours of research and coding to develop.

What more would you like? My bank account, perhaps?

Man, some of you make it really hard for guys like me to continue to want to share - my next step is going to be to cough up the $97, get into Jr VIP, and keep all my shares in that area in the future, cos it looks like free just isn't good enough for the noobs nowadays

I wasn't talking about YOUR program.

If I find tools, I prefer to buy them all and test them all.

Hello and Thanks for the share!
I have one question?
If i bay domain similar to a hosting file server and IFrame download link, put contentlocker and use CPA offert that allow contentlocking....will this affect me someway negative?...Lose $ from CPA offer...hosting account that i used to host my domain..somethink like this ?
Thanks

Ok, maybe I misunderstood - been a long day.

Buying and testing tools you find is cool, as a product owner, I'm grateful to people who say they do that

Otoh, you can't buy tools that aren't for sale, and my referer scripts (blanker and spoofer) are not for sale.
They have been shared, free, and are open code, allowing each individual to customise them to their heart's content
Part of my reason for sharing is to prove that, sometimes, you CAN get something (and top-quality at that) for nothing

Well, there are various parts to this question, let's go from easiest to hardest:

1. Networks and offers. If you stick to offers which allow content locking, and which approve of the type of content (the downloads) you are locking, then you should have no issues there. However, offers which are liberal with what they allow don't tend to have the highest payouts.

2. I deliberately didn't use iFrames for this method, because the download sites I was using bust out of iFrames. If you DO iFrame a site, I'd be cautious about it, as most sites can learn where they are being iFramed, and they tend not to like it, it's even worse if you're using a domain which is pretty similar to theirs.

3. A domain which is substantially similar to that owned by large sites can bring trouble down the line - each individual is going to have to do their own research and come to their own decisions in that area.

4. Hosting - this will depend on your host, again, you'll need to research on which hosts are more lenient with which content areas, before choosing who to use.

A lot is also dependent upon which country you live in, which country you choose to host your sites in, etc, and the rules and regulations in your particular countries.

HTH

This is why I love this forum so much. Here on BHW you can find guys like JohnsonDaniel who share valuable knowledge that you can use and in a very short period of time, based on that knowledge you can make REAL money with which you can buy REAL things.
There are not many places like this in the online or offline world.
i.e. this thread is like giving a Caterpillar to a gold digger instead of letting him scratch with his bare hands.

Does Googles Panda have an effect on this method, also, with all the hassles gov it doing on P2P, do you think this has a chance of being sustained?

Neither this, nor any other, method shared on BHW will be sustainable as-is.
The minute it's shared, it gets copied, ad-nauseum, with no mods made to it, which quite quickly kills it off.

For sustainability, you have to think through the method, understand the basic concept behind it, and then start to think of your own twists which will make your implementation unique, and different to everyone else's.
Once that has been done, YOUR method should be sustainable.

For example, and as a hint to get you started, here's the basic concepts and value in this thread:

a) If you provide content (whether you own it or not) which people want desperately enough, you can make cash by asking them to complete offers for you.

b) If you lock desirable content, you can ask people to complete offers to gain access to it.

c) If you have link-swapping code, as posted in the OP, you can get buttons to do one thing when they're clicked on, and then do something else when clicked on again, and

d) If you want to provide content from a site you don't own, and you can't iFrame it (possibly because that site uses framebusting code), you can host your own "static copies"/"full-page images"/"sliced images" and/or buttons, to make it "appear" as the original (and hence, trustworthy) site.


Now, take those 4 basic concepts, and look into how to implement something yourself - if you stick to trying to create a fake Mediafire page and recruiting people on Fiverr or microworking sites to post links for you (i.e. a straight copy of my OP) then you'll quickly find it's already virtually dead.

If you consistently strip methods down to their basics, and come up with variations in the implementation, you will make good bank very quickly

 

[QuietZorg]

Just to update my progress(?!) with this method! I am a slow worker and also got different IM things going on.. anyway!

So I went for the fake mediafire page, pretty much as described in the first post. I am not using just 2 images on my page, but several, to better mimick the ads etc. on mediafire. My content lock is a sliced CPA offer, so it asks for an email "for human verification, required for premium download" , without showing the whole CPA offer, so it looks semi legit.

So I have that set up, only 1 CPA offer at the moment for US, as I am only testing / seeing what works.

Test 1:

Set up : I found a proper mediafire download for an album, I made my fake page mimick this and bring the visitor to the real download once they submit the email.

Traffic : Bought 3 tweets to 50,000 , 19,000 and 21,000 followers on fiverr (cost $15). I used bit.ly to shorten the link to my fake page.

Results : About 15 clicks on the bit.ly link, about 2 of which were from US, no leads.

Lesson learnt: For some reason(s) this failed miserably. Not sure what it was, the download was for a hip hop album, popular. Also learned I need to expand to allow for more countries, not just US. Also it seems this is incredibly true :

if you stick to trying to create a fake Mediafire page and recruiting people on Fiverr or microworking sites to post links for you (i.e. a straight copy of my OP) then you'll quickly find it's already virtually dead.

Test 2

Setup: Had an album, zipped(password protected) it, created a readme.txt which essentially pointed them to my fake mediafire page to download pass.txt which contained the password. I then zipped the .zip and .txt without password protection, named it to albumname.zip, uploaded it to mediafire

Traffic: I have my own way which is simple, and sometimes very effective (in the past I got 50,000 downloads on 1 album), sometimes not. I am not ready to disclose this right now.

Results : The album got just over 300 downloads so far (not a lot, I know..) From these 300 downloads, 31 people made an impression on the CPA offer (10% download to offer visit) , and from those 31, I got 2 leads. (6.5% conversion)

Lesson learnt : Perhaps I need to continue 'twisting' this til it works. Also I need to upload more albums etc. to see if i can semi scale this particular traffic driving method, and to see if those %s remain the same.

I'm also wondering if people are more aware that my fake page is fake than I give them credit for. In which case , maybe it would be better to make my own linkbucks looking site, which requests email (CPA offer) , which would appear as a new unknown non-fake site, instead of a fake well known site. I'm thinking maybe 'unknown' is better than 'known, but possibly fake'. Perhaps thats something worth looking into.

Future Plans

Scale up traffic from test 2, upload more albums. And set up more offers for other countries outside of the US. See how that goes... if I am still stuck, I may look into forum posting, but that just seems like more hassle than its worth IMO. I think one path I may try is to create an ebook, and offer it for free to the relevant niches, but have the password inside the zip behind my fake page(mentioned in test 2). If that fails, then will prob open a JV thread, looking for a traffic provider.

I hope this post will save some people time or effort, and show that if you do try, you should make money ($1.80 )

In the past, I had about 100,000 downloads of various albums, with a sharecash link in them for the password. That generated about $550. Extrapolating my current % , with 100,000 downloads i would get 10,000 impressions on the CPA offer and 650 leads, which should be about $650. Not as much of an increase from sharecash as I was expecting, and with my sharecash links, it said 90% of visitors were from the US. So my downloads now are of a similar nature, so 90% of downloaders should be US, meaning that adding more non-US offers wont help dramatically..

tldr : my percentages are low :/

Suggestions / words of encouragement ? :06:

 

[alexking]

Thanks OP, as you mentioned earlier this should be used other ways and more twists put to it. I think this should do well with you YouTube and MP3 downloads just one twist to speak of. If you have a song with a lot of views, put a download link in the description and just apply this method

 

[JohnsonDaniel]

First I want to thank JohnsonDaniel for this method.

YW

Thanks QuietZorg for the tests.

Yep, QuietZorg deserves to be thanked, mine are added also

Please tell me something: Why did you have 300 downloads from the album and only 30 impressions? Don't those 300 would have to take some action to get access to the link? Why only 30? Am I missing something? (Of course I am... I'm a newbie... duhhh)

Thanks

What QuietZorg did in the second test was to allow people to download the album without completing an offer.
Once people have spent their time downloading, when they tried to extract the album, they found it was password-protected.
They also found a text file, not protected, which offered them the location to visit to get their password.
THIS was the page he locked, which is why 300 people were able to download, whilst only 30 returned to try and collect the necessary password, and went on to view a CPA offer.

It's anyone's guess as to what happened with the other 270 people.
Depending on the locker QuietZorg used, it's possible some people were able to bypass it by disabling javascript, by using codes available to bypass lockers, by viewing the source code of the locked page, etc, and it's also possible that some people just deleted the archive when they saw they needed a password for it, and that some of the downloads were made by scrapers or other robots, rather than humans.

All of that is just my thoughts, maybe QuietZorg will expand
