If you’ve hung out in the Wicked Fire forums for more than 10 minutes, then you probably made a rite of passage and experienced your first “Dick Roll“. Don’t feel bad, we all get Dick Rolled a couple of times in our lives, it’s all part of becoming a seasoned affiliate marketer.

If you don’t know what being “Dick Rolled” means…I won’t spoil it for you. Just do a Google search for “make monies online“. But when you hear “you spin me round like a record” start playing…you’d better find the power button to your monitor quickly!

I’m usually pretty careful these days on which links in Wicked Fire that I click on, but some asshole got me the other day with a Prosper202 link, hence me writing this post. (I’ll find out who you are buddy, pay back is a bitch dude

Is there a cure? Not that I can see, only prevention. Read the rest of this entry

It light of all the buzz around the “Arbitrage Conspiracy” product launch, I thought I’d post a quick strategy on domain name bidding, which was briefly covered in the AC free report. This is not my endorsement for Arbitrage Conspiracy by any means…I’m simply providing you with a strategy you can use to bid on domain names whether you buy the course or not.

Basically, in this short video I walk you through a quick method of finding actual misspellings of searched for domain names. We all know that misspellings are a good way to get cheap, yet targeted traffic.

But usually our bidded on misspellings are just best guesses at what people actually type into the search field. What if you could know what they “actually” typed in? Take a look…

Again, I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the video. I need to do some more research on how to get better resolution when converting from Camtasia to YouTube. The video is hosted on YouTube, which may be a little clearer. Once I get a better video though, I’ll update this post with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6RRry-9Mbc

Comments and/or Questions? Shoot!

As I mentioned in my previous Prosper202 tutorial on the “10 Best Practices To Securing Your Prosper202 Installation“, I would eventually post a tutorial on how to get Prosper202 to play nice with an SSL server once I had finished some more testing.

We’ll I think I’ve figured it out.

Word of Caution: Before attempting any of the steps mentioned below, I HIGHLY recommend you setup a 2nd Prosper202 install from which to test on. Do not do this on a production installation.

Why user Prosper202 with SSL?

Without getting into too much of the “techno-babble”, SSL provides your sessions with encryption. This means that when you login to your Prosper202 account, your login information will be encrypted, instead of being sent to the server in clear text.

Also, you’ll have the sneaky advantage of totally blanking out your referrer, bwahahaha.

By default, Prosper202 can cloak your referrer when the cloaking options are turned on, but this still passes the domain of your Prosper202 install to your CPA network. They won’t see your landing pages of course, but they will still be able to see that all the traffic comes from domain “tracking.xyz.com” for example.

When using cloaking in conjunction with HTTPS tracking links, your referrer will be blanked, and your CPA network won’t have any idea where the traffic is coming from. Stealthly eh?
