December 24th, 2010 by admin 2 comments »WhereGoes.com is a free tool that I’ve been using for the past year or so when I want to trace redirects – It basically shows you a breakdown of the redirects that occur in a nice format. This is useful for:
- Seeing which network an affiliate is running an offer
- Discovering NEW networks
- Testing your own links to make sure the variables are passing correctly (i.e. t202kw=)
- Research: I’ve actually found some epic traffic sources with WhereGoes
Here’s what it looks like in action:

PHP Script – Redirect Based on Country
December 21st, 2010 by admin 3 comments »I first learned about this script from BrandonAdcock.com on his post Monetizing International Traffic. This script will redirect users from specific countries to wherever you’d like them to go.
This is useful when your CPA offer automatically redirects based on country and you are having a tough time getting it approved, or when you are optimizing a campaign and need a way to redirect traffic from a certain country to a different offer.
A lot of times traffic sources will send you some international traffic even though your campaign is set to a specific country, so it makes sense to send those visitors to an offer that accepts their country.

Here it is in .txt format so you may copy/paste without any quotes getting screwed up. If you are confused by the look of that code, you should check out the basic html/css/php page.
Example
I like to store all my outbound links in its own folder, so for this example let’s say the folder we are working in is domain.com/links – here is what it should look like.
Now, whenever somebody goes to domain.com/links/redirect.php they will be redirected to the links you set based on the country they are in. Here is a full list of country codes.

Profitable PPV Campaign Case Study
December 15th, 2010 by admin 6 comments »Hey! I want to share a campaign with you that I ran for just a few days before getting a retro-disapproval notice by LeadImpact.com. Why did they disapprove it after it was running for a few days with no problems? Well, I’m pretty sure they stole it for themselves because I saw them running the offer after they disapproved it 
Since I have other campaigns I’m focusing on, and this was just a quick test that happened to work out, I thought it would make for a nice case study. OK, let’s get started…
Campaign Details & Stats
Offer: Music Oasis ($1.90 Lead)
PPV Network: Lead Impact
Method: Landing Page
Date: 12/3/2010 – 12/10/2010
Revenue: $514.90
Cost: $271.37
Profit: $243.53
The Idea
I’m sure many of you are familiar with Limewire.com – it’s the P2P file sharing service that has been around for years. Well, Limewire was recently shut down and when you visit their site you get a message saying it’s under court order and no longer available blah blah blah.
After noticing this, I remembered seeing the Music Oasis offer in Neverblue which is also a music download type thing. So I built and threw up a campaign real quick. All I’m doing is offering an alternative to Limewire. I built a landing page to resemble the official Limewire site in about 15 minutes and bid on these targets: Limewire.com – Limewire – lime wire. Nobody was bidding on those URL’s and keywords so I set my bids and launched the campaign.
My Winning Landing Page
The Metrics
I was paying $0.02¢ per pop. At $0.02¢ per pop, every 1,000 pops cost me $20 (CPM). Here are the stats for the 2 landing pages I split tested.
As you can see on the better performing landing page, I was getting a 34% CTR! Since I’m paying $0.02¢ per pop and 1/3 are clicking through to the offer, it effectively cost me $0.06¢ to drive a presold click. My EPC on that was $0.13¢
Why Did This Campaign Work?
I believe the main reason this campaign worked (and why the CTR on my landing page is so badass!) is because Limewire was shut down and people actually needed an alternative.
Ideas on How to Scale This Campaign
You can scale on traffic sources. Or you can multiply the idea by creating those sorts of landing pages over all teh competitors of Limewire. I suspect that Limewire would have had the highest ROI though because people needed an alternative right then.
The concept of offering alternatives is pretty fundamental to PPV in general if you ask me. Choose an offer an pop over all the competing sites. If your landing page is effective then you’ve probably got yourself a profitable campaign after a little split testing. If you enjoyed this case study, hook a brotha up by liking TPC on Facebook.
Hilarious Commercial for a ‘Learn English’ Product
November 30th, 2010 by admin No comments »This commercial is hilarious – and what’s interesting is that it’s actually a solid “pitch” for a Learn English product. I have no idea how well the company does, but you know commercials like this are shared and stick in a consumers mind. I wonder how well they did with it.
Even funnier is this noob trying to peddle a Clickbank product in the comments.
Didn’t even cloak his link. Hahaha!
