how to spam facebook like a pro - GoFuckYourself.com

VirtualAdultAgent · 11-02-2009, 01:52 PM

good read

I finally came to this realization: People on Facebook won?t pay for anything. They don?t have credit cards, they don?t want credit cards, and they are not interested in shopping. But you can trick them into doing one of three things:

Download a toolbar: It could be spyware (such as Zango) or something more legitimate, such as Webfetti or Zwinkys.

Give up their email address: You?ve won a ?free? camera or perhaps you?ve been selected as a tester for a new Macbook Pro (which you get to keep at the end of the test). Just tell us where you want us to ship it.

Give up their phone number: You took the IQ Quiz, so give us your phone number and we?ll tell you your score. Never mind that you?ll get billed $20 a month or perhaps be tricked into inviting 10 other friends to beat your score.

Only the kidz don't have credit cards but EVERYONE is interested in buying shit in the consumer-driven economy of ours. Besides, what about all those A-dults who are on there?

I like what you can get from them, tho.

the only thing this guy seems to have nailed is the fact that pin submits do well with facebook traffic (from what i've heard from people i know promoting them, even these aren't doing as wellas they did a year or so ago), other than that he's braindead. he goes on talking about how all his buddies made millions of acai on facebook right after saying no one has credit cards. wtf? guess what you need to signup for acai offers. A FUCKING CREDIT CARD. lots of people still doing quite well pushing high ticket cpas that require a credit card on facebook traffic.

Seriously! I thought FB was telling me I'm a genius!

Good stuff

People making millions of dollars, from people with no credit cards that don't buy anything.

Now that's a business model.

MetaMan · 11-02-2009, 02:20 PM

i have tried IQ quizes and mobile on facebook and it does NOT convert, i was like a 1:6000 ratio or something insane. not worth it for the low payouts.

Awesome read. Thanks.

About a year ago "crush" offers were killing it on Facebook. Wish I had the money at the time to throw a good chunk at it when they were hot. Had a couple buddies promoting them that did very well. I was encouraged daily for a while to get into it, but I just wasn't in a position at the time to go for it.

Almost every fucker these days got facebook/twitter. It's silly to say that they don't buy anything. Promoting spyware on legit traffic it's a big shit. In other side facebook will probably ban your ass or even worse take you on court

Zip submits for free groceries and whatnot still do well.

The people doing this are scamming/frauding people, then spamming them to death.

That has been common knowledge, and talked about for some time.

There's really no secrets there to anyone who understands how incentivized traffic works. It's really no different than the email submit offers that were discussed earlier on. I love how they bash on these developers for profiting on incent offers, then in another article suggest email submits are a good way to monetize fb traffic. how does an advertiser profit on email submits? they pay a small amount of money for a lead, which is then forced to signup for a bunch of offers in order to receive their little prize. Email submits are usually setup in a way that the user will signup for a few of these offers, allowing the advertiser to profit from their lead generation, while dragging them on and on to the point that they usually give up before making it to the point at which they receive their gift. It's a big scam in itself that isn't too unlike the incentivized social gaming setups. It starts to get even funnier when you see incentivized email submit offers promoting more incentivized offers, lol.
