Lets brainstorm

Very nice pig, puts my $43 USD over like 3 - 4 days to shame. Well done!
 
There are plenty other crap you can make people download. Neverblue has a bunch of toolbars that pay over $3. You guys will have to start thinking out of the box if you want to earn some real money.
 
I got this email after making ~$77 in 2 days. I'm not sure how they found my domain since I am using a double meta refresh, luckily they only found the domain I have my redirect script on and not the landing page domain, if they saw my landing page I would probably be banned already haha

wondering how I should reply? Fortunately it's only $77 and my traffic was free so not a huge deal

Ok I was trying to think of how they found my domain my here is my new theory:

User installs toolbar
User goes back to my landing page
User confused as to why they still can't view the page (haha)
User clicks install link again, get redirected through redirect domain and back to yahoo toolbar page

I am thinking the newly installed yahoo toolbar might actually give yahoo referer information even though the meta refresh blocks it, since I know it tracks the urls you view.. who knows though, not really a big deal, just felt like posting this idea

I am moving on for the moment
 
This looks pretty interesting, I will give it a shot. Will post some results when I do it.
 
Ran this for an hour...

Waited 24 hours before I checked my stats...

3978 Clicks...

$581 moolahs. :)

Ran it for an *hour* and had that many clicks and that much cash? Damn dude!

Care to share any tidbits of helpful info? :)
 
What a great setup. Need some help.
If you use the dark screen method, how can you make it so the program tells the screen
to go white when they click on the download link ?

That way you can tell them to come back to this page after they sign up. And they can look at the page. Maybe some xxxxxx-clips .
 
you could try this on online browser games, where you offer a cheat or hack to get more money/exp, etc, though not all of the traffic would be gaurenteed US.

what would be some good social networks to promote this on?
 
Sorry for not replying for so long. My traffic is really targeted, and not exactly the conventional method for promotion. Revealing the niche is as good as shooting myself. :) But do think about methods and other niches, there are plenty of ways to use this more than one way. In my case, 3 ways... *hint hint*.

Cheers
 
Am I the only one getting shit from them for blank referers?

Just got this, but I think I have a solution.

Hello you,

The problem is that 99% of your referring URLs are are returning Blank (no info). Without being able to see the location of your clicks, Yaho0 needs to have some sort of information in regards to how you drive traffic. If you are driving PPC traffic, are you abiding by the rules of the Pr0gram? I noticed that you left out the disply URL for your "sample" ad, would it be because you are using Yaho0 in your display URL? Additionally, if you are going to continue operations within the C0mmission Juncti0n Network, you need to resolve the issue with your referring URLs. If this cannot be remedied, your account will unfortunately be terminated. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this issue, please include them in a reply to the email address listed bel0w.

Sincerely,

couldnt you just say you dont want them to steal your method of getting traffic? i thought others had used this. id tell them you had problems with cpa companies stealing your methods.

They seem pretty adamant about me showing referers

from their email:

it's all good I will just make another landing page which goes directly to yahoo.

I have made an idiotic mistake and just been kicked out from Yahoo lol

Thank you for participating in the Yahoo! Affiliate Program. Program management, in accordance with section 6(b) of the Commission Junction Publisher Service Agreement ("PSA") has elected to expire your relationship.

You are misleading users into downloading the Yahoo Toolbar. (Damn right, why else would anyone want to download your shitty toolbar?)

I completely forgotten to cloak the link on my example page and they found out... Daaaaa...

Neverblue it is then.
