Hey guys, I'm new to the site, but have been doing IM successfully for a little over 6 months...
1) I'd go with BHCB, but set a very long teaser (like 5-10 minutes into the video), in the description tell your viewers that you have to do this sort of thing once a video to keep your site running due to "high costs of running a server, bandwidth.. bla bla bla"
... if you put up small email submits that take them 15-30secs to do, your traffic will get used to it and won't mind
NOTE! Randomize your email submits! Your conversions will be through the roof so make sure you stay under the radar by rotating your offers... here's a script that I use. Simply save it as a .php file and link to the file. If you wanna set up
www.your-domain-that-redirects-stuff.com save it as index.php ... you probably know that part, but with the amount of stupid questions on here you never know
This will work on any site btw, including WP
Code:
<?
//set the urls
$urls = array("http://www.domain1.com" ,"http://www.domain2.com" ,"http://www.domain3.com" );
//set the text links
$text = array("site title 1" ,"site title 2", "site title 3");
srand(time());
//set the number in (rand()%3); for however many links there are
$random = (rand()%3);
//echo ("<a href = \"$urls[$random]\">$text[$random]</a>");
header("Location: $urls[$random]");
?>
To cover your tracks setup a whitehat site that you will funnel your traffic through... just literally load it with banners to all your offers so that your AM's can see it's optimized for the click throughs
once again there are many options but here's a simple php code that I use, edit the URLs and save as any filename.php
Code:
<?php
// call this page with ?ref=1 or 2 or 3, any number pointing to one of the links from $merchanturls array.
$merchanturls[0] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$ref=$_GET["ref"];
if (!empty($ref)) {
echo "<html><body onload=\"javascript:frmClickTracking.submit();\">";
echo "<form action=\"" . $merchanturls[0] . "\" method=\"post\" name=\"frmClickTracking\">";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ref\" value=\"" . $ref . "\" />";
echo "</form></body></html>";
exit;
}
$merchanturls[dell] = "http://dell.com";
$merchanturls[yahoo] = "http://yahoo.com";
$merchanturls[google] = "http://www.google.com";
$ref = $_POST['ref'];
if (!empty($ref)) {
if ($ref<=count($merchanturls)) {
$targeturl = $merchanturls[$ref];
if (!strpos($targeturl,"?")) {
echo "<html><body onload=\"javascript:frmClickTracking2.submit();\">";
echo "<form action=\"" . $targeturl . "\" method=\"get\" name=\"frmClickTracking2\">";
echo "</form></body></html>";
exit;
} else {
$pos = strpos($targeturl,"?");
$pageurl = substr($targeturl,0,$pos);
echo "<html><body onload=\"javascript:frmClickTracking3.submit();\">";
echo "<form action=\"" . $pageurl . "\" method=\"get\" name=\"frmClickTracking3\">";
$params = substr($targeturl,$pos+1);
$aparams = explode("&",$params);
for ($k=0;$k<count($aparams);$k++) {
$aparamvalues = explode("=",$aparams[$k]);
if (empty($aparamvalues[1])) $aparamvalues[1]="";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"" . $aparamvalues[0] ."\" value=\"" . $aparamvalues[1] . "\" />";
}
echo "</form></body></html>";
exit;
}
}
}
?>
Remember to include this AT THE TOP OF YOUR INDEX.PHP (if you have index.html rename it to index.php)
Code:
<?php include("filename.php"); ?>
Now you can link from your movie site to
www.domain.com/?ref=dell to send traffic directly to your CPA URL, in this case dell.com with your whitehat site as the referer.
Take your masked URLs, throw them into the randomizer code and woala!
2) I'd add a google adsense links ad on the lefthand side to make it seem like the navigating links, adsense should pull stuff up related to the movies so your traffic will definitely click, realize it's an ad and go back to ur site
Okay guys so this is my first post, treat me nice and give a thanks if you found this useful... i know i'm not the original source of any of these, but it should make life a lot easier for some of you who need to be spoon fed from A to B!
