Sorry to steal some of your thunder AdHustler, but this cannot be talked about enough.  You absolutely must control your destination URL.  Since I do most of my advetising on social media I’ve figured out a way to always control my destination URL.

You can do this by cloaking Facebook the right way as I talked about in my previous post.  If one of your offers ever goes down you can just switch out your tracking link to a new tracking link point to a different offer or the same offer on a different network.  This will help tremendously if you want to use establish ads with a good CTR to test out a new offer.

I’ve also done a little customization to the Facebook cloaking script to use it on MyAds and POF so that I can always control where my user ends up.

Do you have a need to cloak the Facebook Ad Reviewers?  I know I need to often, especially when I advertise internationally.

To do this is pretty simple. I use this method and it works like a charm.  Download the Facebook Cloaking Script over at Affiliate Plex.  He has a pretty thorough how to from installation to utilization.

To get around the GeoIP redirects send the reviewers to Singlesnet, your landing page or domain that your offer is on.

[UPDATE]: To bypass any of the tracking that you or the merchant does and any GeoIP redirects that the reviewer may come across, cloak them to the url of the actual merchant lander.  This is especially helpful on Neverblue as any person’s IP that doesn’t come from the country that your offer is good for, goes directly to WebFetti.

I’m sure you can figure out ways to use this for a different purpose, but I neither condone these actions or use this script for that purpose.

Coupon Code: web04160950

I recently found out MySpace gave out this coupon during a webinar they had. I heard it sucked so I’m not too upset I missed out.

I logged into my account and couldn’t figure out where to enter this thing. So good luck with it.

I must be misunderstanding something here.  I was interested in running the eHarmony Australia offer and after reading their Terms & Conditions (below) we cannot direct link.

2. Publishers may not direct links to eHarmony.

8. Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity, or infringes on the legal rights of others
9. Publishers may not use any banners that are not approved by eHarmony

Why wouldn’t they allow us to direct link to their offer. I must be misunderstanding something. Do they not want a ton of sign-ups? Isn’t that why they have an offer on the affiliate network?

Can someone please explain this to me?

The other day I was browsing WickedFire and I stumbled upon a few landing pages that were being given out for free.  I figured I might as well post them up for people to use.  Feel free to use these wherever you feel like it.
