You've probably seen those acai review sites on yahoo or bing.

Well I want one. But even more than just that I want to know how to successfully rip off a landing page in any case.

Right now I have tried that popular "save complete as" firefox plugin as well as HTTrack. When I go to edit the code with very, very simple changes to pages derived from either of the above, some major chunks of text or other elements disappear, even on pages that did not have any scripting.

I would greatly appreciate help with this, and I'll try to answer questions should anyone have some.

Thank You
 
If you dont know how to rip it, maybe you should pay someone to design you one..

OOO wait, I think I design Landing pages.... :D
 
Do you understand the code the landing page is written in? If so just find the right shit and change it. If not well then learn it otherwise get someone else to. Its most likely just HTML with some flash or scripts potentially depending on the page, but you gotta know what you are doing so you don't break it and you will need to save all the images and stuff that make the page work and rehost it if you want to use it.
 
Yeah of course, if that is necessary. I want to know how ripping works, learning to fish rather than getting fish, if you will.

When your problems come along, you must rip it.

No I don't really know the code. It sounds as though you know what the problem is I am describing.
 
K, let me see if I can tell you this without missing parts..

Create a folder on your computer for the files

Open up your html editor (if you dont have one use notepad)

Go to the page you want to rip. Right click and view the source.

Rick click in that box and select all - copy.

Go and paste all the code into your editor or notepad.

Save as index.html

Now go back to the source page and click on the .css link. (probably styles.css)

Do the same, right click select all, right click copy.

Now create a new page and paste the code, name it styles.css, or whatever name it was.

Now make sure your style.css is calling the right path in your index.html

Should be something like
Code:
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

If it looks like
Code:
<link href="css/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

Then you need to make the needed changes.

Once you have your index.html and styles.css copied.. You want to check to see if there is any javascript, if there is, just do the same.. click on it from the source page and copy and paste.

Once you have all the pages done, then all you have to do it get the images..

Create a folder inside the site folder you just made and name it images.

On the site you want copied, just find images and right click on them..

Save image as - (image directory)/image name.

You might have to view a few background images to get them,

If you do all this, you should have your site.

If you open up index.html you can see what images you need to make it easier, if it looks all out of whack, then there is something wrong with the way the page is calling the css, make sure the path is correct (read up for more on that)

And that should do it for this Xplicit LP riping tutorial....lol

Good luck

Are you talking about those fake news advertorial sites where in most cases they are pushing 2 products free trial on the visitor? I wonder when Yahoo's going to crack down of poor quality landing pages such as those. It seems that all those who got slapped from Google are now on Yahoo.
 
Ye thats only going to take the .html. But what about the scripts written in PHP and in some cases written in asp?

Don't know dude, but I just got it to work perfectly. Everything I needed was in arms reach, just html and css I assume.
