Test your popups on the cheap and easy with a tiny .htacess trick

This post is for the less technically inclined using PPV. While you can see  your pop-ups on a contextual network by browsing the site/keywords you are bidding on with whatever “web experience enhancer” causes them to pop installed, this has a few drawbacks: If your bids are high, you’re kinda wasting money and messing your…

PPVSpy Purchased and Reviewed – The Sky Isn’t Falling

I bought a PPVspy “perpetual” license from BevoMedia on Friday morning five minutes after Mike Chiasson sent me a text message about it. Interested in an unbiased no-affiliate-links capsule review? Read on. And no, I’m not biased in trying to justify to myself my purchase – Lets get that out of the way. The way…

Bad Traffic Sources for Bad Boys

Lets find listings of things “Forbidden” as sources of inspiration to continue on the journey to total jackassdom. When I saw the “Non-Approved Traffic Sources” file from Azoogle (renamed Epic) I almost creamed my pants. Not because they renamed their company to “Epic”… I have to wonder, why “Epic” and not “LULZ” … Or maybe…

Sample Failed Pop-Ups

Here’s a sampling of failed pop-ups. Notice the SIZE of the viewable area. I know about the little trick of adding scroll-bars to a pop-up to fool the user into clicking – Somehow I don’t think that’s the idea here, and these scroll bars are no fake.

The Spy Who Popped Me

Originally posted to the Internet University message board Captains log, Stardate -313708.32 I went back to the Zip submit campaign I was running and trimmed the URLs so at least I’m keeping 2-3 profitable URLs. Ultimately I don’t want to invest a ton of time on something I know won’t take me very far even…

Speed Up Landing Pages and Redirects by Loading a Preview from a Content Distribution Network like CloudFront

If the offer you are promoting loads too slowly for sending it PPV traffic directly, or your own redirection is slowing down your pop-ups, here’s an interesting solution I developed. The idea is simple: Show the user the landing page even before it is fully loaded – so you get them to see the offer…

Ultimate List of Traffic Sources

WeirdTwitter

In the neverending quest for traffic, I bumped into a great list of traffic sources compiled by Edward from http://3things.be which I promptly proceeded to rip, massage, sort and post. Probably the best part of the list are Edward’s one-line comments on each source. Check out the ultimate list of traffic sources. Check out Edward’s…

Retargeting PPV Pop-ups

Repeat PPV pop-ups from the same IP address seem to correlate (at least at a glance) with a drop in conversions and a dip in ROI. In other words: As days roll by I find myself spending on repeat pop-ups to people that didn’t bite the first time around, and they haven’t been chugging any…

LeadImpact Bid Increase of $0.0001 – Good or bad?

Call me dumb, but I just realized I can increase my bid by $0.0001 and outbid 30% of competitors on higher traffic URLs. Take a look at this screenshot… I was really trying to figure out a way to “mark” some URLs when I noticed I could do this… It does seem to push down…

Learn Internet Marketing

Last week I joined the Super Affiliate Twins’ Internet University. I have to say I’m impressed. Very positively impressed. Ryan and crew are all over the forums giving good solid advice and literally shepherding folks along. When they say that they teach all this about internet marketing, they aren’t joking – All the modules are…

Pop Me Baby, Pop Me!

Following Jonathan Volk’s lead I installed one of LeadImpact’s adware crapware toolbars into my machine. I tried Hotbar first but my antivirus kept deleting the executable in the middle of the installation… Fortunately they have several crapware offerings and I managed to get one going. Pop me, baby… I want to see what this looks…
