Marketing Morality, Building Trust With CPA Networks and Redirector Update

Recently, after posting links to the Redirector plugin on Wickedfire, a moderator attempted to criticise me for ‘fucking over’ the CPA networks. Now, I would not normally post about this, but I think it’s important to see the big picture here.

If we lived in a perfect World, then yeah that particular moderator would have a point, but, we don’t live in a perfect World. For instance, two well-known CPA networks were recently exposed on Wickedfire for screwing-over affiliates. Considering there are dozens of CPA networks, I wonder how many millions (or tens of millions) of dollars they STEAL from affiliates every year! Now, in no way I am suggesting all affiliates are whiter than white, but you’d expect the top networks to be beyond this! So, don’t feel too guilty guys about dabbling in the dark side of affiliate marketing

When joining a new CPA network, it would be better build some trust between you and them before trying to get the maximum conversions from your traffic. One way to do this is to run a small Adwords campaign, with a decent landing page, and ask your affiliate manager for advice. Show them the lander and your ads, and then slowly increase your revenue. This will help build trust between you and them.

After more feedback about CPA Redirector, I’ve released a new version (1.2):

The only difference is that I’ve added another way to redirect traffic.

There are now 3 ways to redirect traffic:

1. Java Script Form
2. Java Script
3. Meta Refresh

The most reliable way to pass the referrer is to use Java Script Form. For a very few CPA offers, this might not work, so use Java Script.

This is my penultimate post before launching WP Blackhat: The most cutting-edge BH Membership Site where members are expected to make hundreds of dollars a day exploiting the dark side of affiliate marketing – Wordpress, BH SEO, CPA networks, Clickbank, much more!
