I’ve been doing this decades before you posted this. The only reason I use the standalone CPA-R.

We have to be careful here ! When the referer leakes, it will leak from BLOG A becuz that’s the blog that’s pushing LOTS of poor quality / fake traffic.

Let’s say out of 4000 visitors to Blog A u occasionally get the odd user who is using a rather strange browser, eg: CometBird Browser. This rather UNcommon browser can leak the referrer; strange browsers are often the reason for leaked referrers !! The aff netw will see BLOG A bringing that visitor and they will immediately find it rather strange that ONE out of 4000 of ur visitors came from a very strange place (Blog A) to reach the aff-netw offer page !!! That would get Blog A exposed and u’re caught !

A visitor who hits Blog A and such visitor is NOT using the following common browsers can bring your whole operation down …

FF2, FF3, IE6, IE7, IE8, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari

Interesting!

Did you ever tried to CSing with OpenX?
It’s very easy.

Simply a banner shown on a foreign website, which has some package.
Would like to know, if it is more or less detectable than normal stuffing.

Brad, can’t we just do this with any CS script? CS on Blog A and fake referrer as Blog B? or am I missing something?

@Guile: no, you can vary all that. That’s an obvious footprint of CSing.

Thanks for the explanation!

This technique sounds great, but using that you will still have the problem of a 100% clickthrough rate which is suspicious?

No Jake, that’s not illegal. Maybe in the networks eyes but definitely not in the eyes of the law.

Oops, clicked Enter accidentally. Anyway, the iframe loads your redirect page and affiliate link, which stuffs the cookie to the visitor of Blog A. The referrer shows Blog B as the source of traffic. Brilliant!
Needless to say, it is illegal and you WILL get banned if caught, so don’t try this at home!
Admin, please don’t share my email as I could get into trouble . Thank You!
