Speaking of v3 Brad..... how is it coming??? Last time I got an email about it from you was a couple weeks ago saying might be ready in a couple weeks..... so.... any ETA??
I am most interested in the seeing the geotargeting implemented..... need that so I dont have to make so many landing pages for different country offers.....
Oh Brad, a problem, I have flash movie players appearing over the gateway, what can I do about that??
Hey,
In this answer I'll give you more than you asked for - and completely spill the beans...
My development version for V3 already has the following working seamlessly:
- Complete WP compatibility
- Fix for the popping video thing you decribed
- Geo Targeting
- Ad Rotating
- Referrer faking through your WH pages (not sure about adding this in the release version, though)
- Cosmetics control: BG color, BG image, Title color etc.
Basically, besides editing the manual accordingly, it's all set for launch.
The reason I'm delaying the launch is piracy. As it is now, I've completely wasted the last couple months chasing share sites and taking the shares down. Things are pretty clean now, but I really have better things to do with my time, so what I need to do now is add protection.
Just to push this one through, to show why I need protection b4 launching V3 - Some A-hole called M****** E****** did the following
(I promised him I'll spread his name. This one's personal!):
- Purchased BHCB.
- Asked for a refund abusing my money back guarantee. In the refund request he wrote "Very Bad" (why insult?)
- Then he posted it wide open in a forum.
- And he blatantly added "When V3 is out - I'll post it too"
Now, he did this real ugly - really abusing my honesty. When reading "very bad" i knew he was bogus, a freeloader, but I still honored my MBG - that's how I am. I just didn't expect him to also stab me and post it.
Now - the sharing front is pretty clear right now, but it shows how easy it is to make BHCB a complete non-seller. When BHCB V2 was just launched, I didn't protect it a bit, just used a hidden DL page. Then somebody posted the link to it on BHW (he didn't notice it was do-not-share. Thank God and BHW for that!). In three days there were more illegit DLs than I had sales in three months!
So I moved the DL page, kicked myself in the butt and then purchased and installed DLGuard. So - then I was a naive moron, and protecting the DL page I can do. But against what E****** did I cannot defend myself without really changingthe way BHCB works.
A word of explanation why I'm bitching here: I'm not Billion Dollar Microsoft. I'm just a guy trying to make a living online, after leaving a really good job. I have a family to feed and bills to pay, and if I don't earn a minimum on BHCB - I really cannot afford to give support to my customers, develop BHCB, etc. etc. My other progs are suffering, my bank balance is suffering, I even shut down all my own blackhat CPA campaigns when I started selling BHCB (yep! I don't want the networks to have anything against me. My incentivized campaigns are doing nice - but this
was a blow). I am willing to invest a lot to provide the best product and support I can give, and at a very low price for forum members, if I make something from it. Investing the same and losing money is really not part of the plan.
To cut a long story short: V3 is ready on my desktop, but if I release it now and it gets shared - I'm screwed.
Still contemplating what to do .
As it now stands -
I'll probably release an interim version V2.5 very soon, with WP compatibility, pic fix and cosmetics. The geo-targetting, link rotating etc. will have to wait till after I protect BHCB much better.
In all truth, V3 should have been released long ago. The only reason for the delay are guys like E******.
Cheers,
Brad
PS - of course, lifetime updates are still offered. All users will get V2.5 very soon when I launch it, and V3 after the protection is added.
PPS - I allowed myself to post the guy's name as for all I could see he's not a BHW member and was banned for life. If any of you know otherwise pls PM me and i'll immediately remove his name from the post.
EDIT Later:
There is a chance that E****** is a BHW member after all. Blanked his name until I know more.
