The one slight issue I see with this is that the URL you post will be to yoursite.com , not mediafire (for eg).
Of course you can say follow these mediafire links to download lady gaga new ablum , and use ad.fly or linkbucks , which is normal for those sorts of warez, but then ppl will see yoursite.com instead of mediafire.com. I would guess a very small % of visitors would notice, but some might and then spoil the fun.
Anyone have thoughts on this? I guess one could buy modiafire.com or another misspell that looks like mediafire, but that would probably have some legal problems, more so than the method itself. Which I love.
Was asked about this via PM as well.
My own take on this is that people have become used to seeing own domains
for links. So, what I have been doing is using domains, some general, some
niched, like:
awesomedownloads.com
fabbyshares.com
etc, you get the idea...
Then, I make folders, and place these pages in there, sometimes as the
index, sometimes in subfolders, so the links I share are more like:
awesomedownloads/mediafire
fabbyshares.com/rapidshare
etc
Hasn't bothered my visitors at all, the CTR on my links is nice and steady,
and the conversion rate is almost beyond my wildest dreams
I DO take the time to offer up some decent stuff to download though, try to
tighten it around whichever niche I'm hammering, and genuinely send my
visitors on to the real download.
Nope, none of those domains above are mine, nor do I even know if they're available, lol
One last thing - please don't PM me asking about free lockers, they abound
on BHW already, and one has been posted in this thread also.
I can't help you either with acceptance into Gateway Networks, again,
search, there are numerous guides and people better placed to offer advice
in that area than me.
Even though I've been here a number of years, I've never really been much
of a poster, cos I'm always busy coding. So, I'm still classed as a Newbie,
and my PM inbox can only hold 100 PMs, so flooding it with requests for
locking solutions which compete with my own product, or advice on how to
join Gateway Networks is doing nothing to "inspire me" to continue sharing!
Otoh, I DO welcome PMs from people who have thought things through, and
want to discuss twists, ask sensible questions regarding their own spins, or
any other questions they need answers to, but I will NOT do this for you,
nor will I spoonfeed you any more than I have done already - thanks for
understanding
