banned from MaxBounty

I dont know if your new or not but you should have went with a CPA Network that does not have their own Proprietary tracking system. Your better off using a network with Direct Track. All that shit aside, you will get banned anywhere you go. And yes CE Cash will ban you too. Been there and done that, although I took [url="http://cashtactics.net/01/01/best-of-2007-on-cashtactics/]11K away from them[/url] the last 6 months of last year for some petty torrents. Although they are lenient you can still get the hammer.


PS - Thou shall not fuck with Adam or Steve. This is a rule in CPA. It's too bad you didnt know about it sooner.

You should take people's advice here and cloak it. My cloak is an iframe as well so I have plenty of shit to fall back on like (search marketing, emailing) and all that good jive.

Nice. You must of mass uploaded password zip torrents daily.

IMHO Maxbounty shaves alot of traffic. I would send traffic to them that converted way better on similiar offers on a diff. network. Switched traffic to maxbounty to diversify and bang! conversion dropped off.
I'm not sure how reliable it is but you could try uing a simple redirect thru cpanel to your offer with the site that you applied with. That way you can show traffic being refered thru your domain.
As to how they found out, Bad cloaking could be one way or maybe.... someone from maxbounty happened to download your warez...
Just a thought. Good luck tho:fish2:

I would venture to guess that its just another saturated market, some people get pissed off enough to really take time out of their day to fuck up your program, just ask anyone who has done any bulk mailing in the past 5 years. Its amazing how much effort some people will put into trying to make you suffer. And it works, best way to hurt someone is to take their money.

I download a lot of torrents personally and I know that I have been really sick of these password protected files, Im not so much of a hypocrite that I would narc someone out, but its really annoying.

I am new to Max Bounty but so far their conversions do pretty well for me, well enough that I am wracking my brain to think if I have violated any of their TOS anywhere that might come back to bite me.

This is the reason for tracing, i guess. It depends what those images contained. Give me the link to the images if you do not mind, it is just for informative purposes.

I can't remember the links of images but one of pictures for example shows part of the page that contains the password and a blackened part which is the password itself

and for good reasoning too considering the mess cpa empire is in.

Do u mean CPAempire**com also has the same problem??!! or what?

if your going to use zip/email submits for this method then I would suggest spreading it out through multiple offers and if you want to feel more secure about it then multiple networks. this helps in multiple ways. if one of your cpa account gets banned then you don't lose all of your money. and if you are really pushing this hard then with multiple offers you will totally fly under the radar. if you just get a couple of leads per offer a day then you shouldn't be getting any complaints.

I think this will not solve the problem because CPA networks validate the leads before payout so when they find I even did it with one torrent or someone reported me, I will get banned. Moreover, I don't want to get banned from any other network.

maybe you should buy a domain name and do some cloaking so the link cant be discovered as it is encrypted in a javascript file.

Click to expand...

yeah you can do that as well. assuming it's one of the email/zip submits that doesn't break out of iframes. just have one site that redirects to the offer. iframe that site in another one of your offers and then use


to obfuscate the html so they can't see where everything is redirecting when they view the source

If its a problem with the referring URL, why would you not just host your own redirect pages? I have a nice little javascript that I insert in the body of the page which handles the redirect for me so I don't have to use a meta refresh or deal with it on the server. If anyone wants the script let me know. I would think you could easily just call it from outside the page if you wanted to.

I never link directly to an affiliate link.

I second the rotator request, I need one for wordpress.

Please folks, I'm new to cloaking and I can't understand how to do it. If anyone has a guide explaining cloaking and its several methods, it would be nice....

I don't know if your new or not but you should have went with a CPA Network that does not have their own Proprietary tracking system. Your better off using a network with Direct Track.

1)Do you know CPA networks using Direct track systems??
2) How did you manage to do the method with CE Cash without getting banned for it?? Pleassssse, let me know!

It appears that these are some shit bitch bums! I hate Maxbounty!

It appears so!

I think this never get saturated as new people every day learn about torrents and I think those will not know soon that I'm making money off them!

my comment about cpa empire was in regard to myspace marketing. maxbounty was one of the first that i know of that would not allow marketing on myspace. cpa empire was one of the ones to allow it for the longest time. and they are taking heat from myspace right now.

the thing with spreading your stuff out across multiple networks does work. sending a few leads to each campaign and using several networks and you will generally fly under the radar. im not sure how maxbounty found out that you were using torrents. maybe ask for proof? lol. but if you just use basic redirects and have all the instructions located in the torrent then they shouldn't be able to find out. unless people that are downloading them tells them.

Ouch, butlimous! I'm sorry to hear this happened to you.

I got banned from a network a couple of months ago by accidentally violating TOS.

What a dumbass I was.

Of course, it was converting like madness in the spring. This one PPC campaign pulled in more than 2k USD in the first week. And I wasn't even doing anything black hat ... not on purpose, anyway. Still stings to think about it, too. Ugh! I'm fairly sure the persistent cookies are still earning this vendor some nice coin too. Dammit!

In your case, you have to be especially careful -- as others who are more knowledgeable than me have suggested above.

All you can do is pick up the pieces and move on. But I know how sharply it stings.

Best of luck to you!

I believe you can still get away with the bittorrent password method. It would probably be in your best interest to have some real cloaking and use a real domain with whois guard. You won't be investigated as much because it will look more legit. Also, you might want to stick to incentive offers only. Give cpa storm a shot.

Lol let's just say I been doing this for last couple months...


... knowing which offers work and dont...


with a company I wont publicly disclose.... (can't snitch on myself)...

does a javascript hide the backlink, or does it just redirect and show where your traffic has came from?
