it appears to me that only people with less than 200 posts think this method will work, but DONT try to guess what i m gonna say next, cuz you Don't know where I am going with this, wait and follow me ...
actually... I believe this method CAN work just fine. It can work perfectly if you use the VCC's properly and get some extra cheap traffic to mix in with your signups. This method will ONLY fail due to greed... Nothing else really will make this method fail. As for the affiliate network checking that all your signups are with VCCs i highly doubt that ! it makes me laugh because a VCC is NOT an illegal or fraudulent card, it is just a SAFER card for online purchases.. period. Let me make you an example to kill this one: If I give 20 guys VCCs preloaded with $30 each and ask them to all sign up, the monthly rebill will succeed for the first/second month, so to say that your signups all using VCCs would get you banned.. that is simply Not true.
the other thing i find laughable is when people quickly shout that "you will get banned.. Stop this fraud now". . . sometimes i sense that people will warn you against something because they Don't want you to mess it up just in case you approach it in a childish way. And it is probably a good thing to warn people in that case. But to simply tell people that they will get banned is Not the most constructive way to warn them. The business performance metrics that aff would check, as explained by Manu and NickFlame, are valid, but that's NOT enough to convince me that "one would therefore get banned".
what i would advise about the VCCs is that you should Not initially use the "indian VCCs" or any Non-US VCCs (i Don't want to tell u the reason right now). Other than that, you will need to make absolutely sure that you present a "new identity" for every signup. I repeat "NEW IDENTITY FOR EVERY NEW SIGNUP". By that I mean, new first name, last name, zip code, email address, password and tel no, cookies and ip address (very important!! .. don't sign up 20 new guys in sequence who are all using GMAIL addresses and they STAY in your street with similar telephone numbers and same zip, same street address, and they all wear the same pants everyday !!). Basically PLEASE i beg you guys and especially you noobs too .. make sure each new sign up has a New Clean Unused Identity.
i'll be testing a few further things out, cuz i believe you will certainly need a website (with some sort of banners on it) as well as some other hidden puzzle if you want to stay truly blackhat and run this method in true stealth mode.
YES, aff is still offering $120/$130 per signup
The subject of this thread says this method is "idiot-proof" .... NOW i have to warn you that there's NO idiot that would attempt this method and come out smiling... if you're an idiot then you WILL get banned.. you must be really smart and smooth on this method.
