im gonna give this a shot in a few :)

Smokey. Have you made your first billion yet?

I'd rather get 40cents an install than try and set that script up!

pretty simple cut and paste .... about the same as you would to get the install code for zango.. , and i wouldnt count on zango giving 40 cents an install once they dont have any traffic to snake.. :) besides that they are tied to cp , so if you want to promote a company that promotes cp , then by all means, but dont say i didnt warn you..

since zango is an installed application, its using like DDE, etc to pick up the URL from the web browser active window....

so couldn't you just pass the URL you want to send the surfer to a php script that sets up frames?

coding at the top of my head:

link on affiliate website:
<a href=FrameMe.php?url=http://www.somesponsorprogram.com/afflink/id=123>click here to get some porn</a>



then FrameMe.php


<frameset rows=1,* border=0>
<frame src=junk.html name=top>
<frame src=<? print $_REQUEST["url"]; ?> name=bottom>
</frameset>

the URL in the location bar will still show the affiliate website but the content will be the intended target.... but then those programs that bust out of frames, will just cause zango to pick up the URL


Fight the brainstorming!

thats basically what my script does , but i also went 1 step further becaus ethere are other programs worse than zango.. in your example above.. your going to run into problems trying to send nats affiliate codes thru that becaus eyou will end up with 2 "?'s"
also if there is actual html rewriting going on they are going to detect the url in the frameme.php?url=thisurlcouldberewritten before the user clicks it.. leading the surfer through your script with zango's code on it.

If there is a way around norton I might just add this, cheers Smokey!

hey are you filecabi of filecabi.net ?

Love the site , visit it all the time..:thumbsup

smokey, hit me on icq 64-103-248 I have something for you to check.

You can get the tinyurl effect by just creating a directory, let's call it www.myfhdfghfsite.com/cumfiesta and then do a redirect permanent for /cumfiesta in the .htaccess leading to the sponsor...although I think Zango would catch this one ?!

even if it doesn't work, its a solid first attempt, kudos to you!

Exactly the way I feel! Somebody is trying to do something about it.:) :thumbsup

Smokey would the same thing work by using existing link tracking scripts, that allow sponsor links added via a backend admin. Then linked to on from the page/s via domain.com/script/click.php?id=XX

-N

That method works on some but wouldnt work on zango as far as im aware .. basically if you see the url in the address bar is when zango does the dirty work.. so any method that leads to the sponsor in the addressbar would be vulnerable. hence the frame method.. ( not that it is foolproof either but harder to manipulate )

Ahh righty, gotcha.

-N

this method was actually tested with zango , and ads that would normally show up dont ( not to say its foolproof though zango could change things )

Sweet nice solution thanks

any fix for norton?

:thumbsup :thumbsup

two thumbs up on behalf of all affiliates everywhere. keep up the good work :thumbsup :thumbsup

In reality your probally losing alot of bank if they are stealing your adsense click and your paying them for sales too. You should really drop them.

Smokey, would that php code act like cloaking and affect se ranking?

it would act like cloaking but i highly highly doubt it would affect se ranking..

its an outgoing link anways so normally its going straight to the sponsor , so set it up on a non se domain if your worried.. im gonna fiddle around with a better method too.
