Chapter 1:Setting up your site
The first thing we need to do is understand how the template WORKS. In essence, this is how it
works; Within the Iframe
(An iframe is simply like putting a “form” on your page, but it can load any other site within this “form”
(from this point on I’ll call it a frame, as thats what is it;a frame, like a window to another page on your
site)
Now how am I placing the IMAGES over the Iframe? Im using whats called a DIV overlay, basically it
allows me to place images anywhere I want; Im actually doing what is called “Floating” the images.
The FIRST thing we are going to do is setup our referrer hiding codes, and get the Iframe in the
template ready to redirect to our offer...
Step one:Open up your favourite html editor, if you don’t have one of choice theres a ton available on
http://www.warez-bb.org or if you know how to use torrents, http://www.thepiratebay.org a few
recommendations are Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Frontpage, (and Frontpage Portable if you
don’t feel like downloading a full html editor-but rather just one for this method.)
The first call you need to make is simple, figure out if your offer BREAKS iframes. Now a lot of offers,
like the ringtone offer in the deafult template; it does not. And in fact it uses javascript to send the leadso
if you use the following code to disable frame breaking when you don’t need to-no one can click the
“send” button for your offer. BUT if your frame is getting broken, insert the following code above your
<head> tags. It is only rarely that a javascript submit button is used.
Code:
<script>
function StopLoading()
{ if (!document.all)
{
window.stop();
} else
{
window.document.execCommand('Stop');
}}
</script>
Step 2:Look for the following line of code within your html editor;its near the bottom.
At this point if you want to insert the code to disable frame
breaking, you need to add this part of code to your iframe code.
So your modified code would look like this...
Step 3:Now you need to change the “Http://yourdomain.com/part1.php to the url of the site you plan
to host your php files on. I usually host them elsewhere, (On a different domain) from my actual landing
page. You can use a subdomain or subfolder as well, just make sure to reference that like this
“Http://yourdomain.com/folderoflandingpage/part1.php”
Step 4:At this point, You need to open up the file Part1.php and Part2.php in your html editor as well.
Upon opening Part1.php you will see the following line of code.
<iframe src="http://yourdomain.com/part1.php" height="568" scrolling="no" width="1006"> Click
Here For Your Ringtones </iframe>
<iframe onload="StopLoading()" src="http://www.someaddress.com">
<iframe onload="StopLoading()" src="http://yourdomain.com/part1.php" height="568"
scrolling="no" width="1006"> Click Here For Your Ringtones </iframe>
<?php
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=http://www.yourdomain.com/part2.php\">";
?>
Again change the “yourdomain.com” line to there url or folder where your landing page will be hosted.
Step 5:Now pull up Part2.php in your html editor,
At this point you need to make a call; will you do a DOUBLE metarefresh(all the files we have edited
so far have been working torwards setting up a proper metarefresh this is to hide our referrer from the
network we will be promoting),
or settle for a single one? If your ok with just ONE metarefresh, then edit the
To be
For the sake of demonstrating; and also because I have noticed a issue with leads not showing up if you
use a certain url here is how I would do this.
Go into your aff network,
Go into your GET LINKS area,
DO NOT copy the url from the banner, go there, and copy what shows up up top.
For example with flycell I would use the following...(I’ve changed numbers around to protect myself)
<?php
$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if($referer == "")
{
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=http://www.yournextmetarefreshpage.com\">";
}
?>
URL=http://www.yournextmetarefresh.com
URL=http://www.youraffiliateurl.com
http://www.cpaclicks.com/secure.asp?e=b ... D2=&subID6
=&subID2=&subID2=&subID2=
Now if I copy that url into my browser FIRST and hit the go button, I get the following code...
We DO NOT want to use this URL. Rather the longer url above, ripped straight from the banner code.
If you do, then you WILL NOT get commission for your leads.
Step 6:If you DO want to use a double metarefresh, simply put the URL of the Part12.php file as the
code in the url box we have been editing. A reminder-
Would now be...
Step 7:Open part22.php in your html editor, and change the
To....
SEE STEP FOUR TO MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS CORRECTLY
http://www.flycell.com/offer/?ref=xxx&transid=CDxxx
URL=http://www.yournextmetarefresh.com
URL=http://www.yourlandingpage.com/part12.php
URL=http://www.yournextmetarefresh.com
URL=http://www.youraffiliateurl.com
Chapter 2:Modding our template
Okay, so at this point if you like you can simply use the template AS IS. However if your doing a
different offer than the one the default template was designed for then your probably going to want to
understand how to edit the template.
If you DO NOT have a thorough understand of html, and DIV overlays PLEASE get a copy of
dreamweaver. This is available at http://www.warez-bb.org or http://www.thepiratebay.org
For this tutorial I am going to use dreamweaver; I am no an html guru myself.
Step 1:Open up template.html in dreamweaver
Step 2:You should see all kinds of boxes, if you go into the code you can go down and see where the
iframe is located. The first thing Im going to do is show you how to resize the iframe, and change it
around however you would like... Look for this line of code (again, just like In chapter 1)
Now the bold text below controls the HEIGHT and WIDTH of your iframe...
You can change this however you would like to make your Iframe bigger or smaller. I usually shrink it
down to hide everything except the minimum amount I can allow to keep the submit buttons and form
fields in place.
Next Im going to show you how to enable/disable scrolling. I typically keep this turned off, and I’ve
never had a reason to allow it;but if you do then people can drag up and down through the iframe and
see the entire page (If your div does not cover all four sides of the Iframe perfectly.) This simply keeps
things simpler. But I don’t know what you may/may not want to do with this method so heres how...
<iframe src="http://yoursite.com/part1.php" height="568" scrolling="no" width="1006"> Click
Here For Your Ringtones </iframe>
<iframe src="http://yoursite.com/part1.php" height="568" scrolling="no" width="1006"> Click
Here For Your Ringtones </iframe>
<iframe src="http://yoursite.com/part1.php" height="568" scrolling="no" width="1006"> Click
Here For Your Ringtones </iframe>
To re-enable scrolling within the iframe, simply delete the line so your code looks like this...
You may also notice the “Click here for your ringtones” text-this is there for people whos browsers do
not allow Iframes. This is unusual, but in the least they will end up redirect to your offer page in a new
window;and you will still have a shot at getting a lead.
Changing the template around
The next thing were going to do is look at how to edit images, and there placements in our landing
page. I already mentioned earlier im “floating” the images to cover the bits of the offer I don’t like-and
make things like $9.99 a month say Free ringtones-No catch.
I don’t usually edit this in code mode;if you click the outline of the div you can DRAG it around all you
like and move the image back and forth and all around your page. Getting placement perfect is a bit of
a pain in the ass, but making small increments of a few pixels at a time works best for this. Each time
you realign an image you can go into the File>Preview>Preview in Firefox/Explorer button to check
and see if you have the image where you want it.
If you want to be more technical, look for the following code (There are 7 Divs on this template, so the
code would look like this.) But heres how to edit the FIRST one;rinse and repeat the process to edit
the location of other divs.
Each of the bold/highlighted variables does just what you think it would. Edit them as you see fit if you
don’t want to use dreamweavers interface
<iframe src="http://yoursite.com/part1.php" height="568" width="1006"> Click Here For Your
Ringtones </iframe>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
left:39px;
top:26px;
width:786px;
height:552px;
z-index:1;
Now your probably thinking;well what if I want to redo this from scratch? I have included a DIV free
template in the package;it is titled “Emptytemplate.html”
To create your own divs, and insert your own images over them do the following.
Step 1:Go to the DESIGN view in dreamweaver,
Step 2:Click the LAYOUT tab once in design view mode
Step 3:Click the DRAW AP DIV button
Step 4:Place the Div
You will do this by dragging your mouse and holding down the LEFT button until your div is the size
you would like. Don’t worry, you can tweak the heigh/width easily. Just make sure its big enough for
your image at first. I usually overshoot by a few inches.
When you release your left mouse button, you will see something LIKE this.
Now we are going to put our new image in the div-To figure out how to get the image the size you want
for your offer, go to the offer page;and click your PRINTSCREEN button on your keyboard. So I
would go to.... Myofferurl.com
Printscreen>Open mspaint>ctrl-v>Crop out to just the minimum part you need to hide any unwelcome
images/text on your driv
Open mspaint again>paste your cropped image>Save
Note:You can use photoshop for this as well, but im assuming most everyone has mspaint.
Now go back to dreamweaver and right click inside your blue DIV. Click the paste image key, and
when dreamweaver asks make sure you save the image to the same directory as all the other images.
Tada! Just repeat this process as many times as needed until you have all your images in place, and divs
lined up. Also, it can sometimes be a bit difficult; Internet Explorer likes to mess divs up-so work at it
until you get things working well in both firefox and explorer. You can do it, and there is another step to
make this even easier.
Why?
Well internet explorer messes divs up based on screensize-most of the time. So now Im going to show
you how to setup a template that will load based on the pagesize of your site. Keep in mind this DOES
use javascript, so for users who don’t have javascript on there browser the images my still keep slightly
displaced in internet explorer. Thats why I emphasize getting things to work as well as you can;this does
limit you to being as minimal as possible in your offer editing.
Detecting screen size (with Java)
If you want to do this, right click on the template.html file and copy>paste a new copy. Rename them
as you would like. I usually just make the name based on the appropriate screensize for the code.
Next we are going to open up dreamweaver (if you closed it) and click “create a new page” a plain
blank html page works fine. Insert the following line of code into the empty page.
Simply change the bold file names as would be appropriate.
That pretty much covers the basics ladies and gentleman. You now understand how to create your own
templates,cover your asses from the networks, and setup pages to be both IE and FX friendly.
One final thing-A trick I use simply for a mild level of added security.
Once your templates all done, go to
http://www.iwebtool.com/html_encrypter
At that point, run your iframe line of code through the encrypter.
<script>
if (screen.availWidth>850){
top.location.href='1024x748orHigher.html';
}else{
top.location.href='800x600orLower.html'
}
</script>
<iframe src="http://yourdomain.com/part1.php" height="568" scrolling="no" width="1006"> Click
Here For Your Ringtones </iframe>
Getting traffic
I really did not think I would have to write this up for you guys, but I guess some of you lack in
creativity. Heres my favourite ways for getting traffic to my blackhat CPA offers.
Method #1:Youtube
The first thing I usually do, with ringtone offers at least; is go to google hot trends.
http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends
From that point, I dig around until I have a list of 10 or 20 music artists. Create a list of your own like
this, and save it in notepad. These are going to be part of our keywords...
Next, go to wordtracker.com
if you do not have an account, the free wordtracker tool will work just as well. Find it at...
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/
Now run a search on each of your keywords, try to just rip 10-20 relevant keywords for each artist.
The next step can easily be completely outsourced, I use two of our resident bhwers for this service.
Just glance through the “Find a freelancer section” to find some of your own, theres a few different
people offering both of these services;and you will want both.
#1:Youtube uploads,watermarking
#2:comments,favourites, and views
If you don’t have the cash on hand to outsource this, I have included a pack of (pirated) youtube tools.
Compliments for the upload go to Wealth199 at BHW.
When you upload your videos, be sure to emphasize the FREE part.
Method #2:Torrents
I really enjoy this one, the first thing your going to do is get out your mic and record a short clip of
yourself saying “To get this ringtone free, go to “yoursite.com”
OR go into your windows control panel,
Next go into Sound,speech, and audio devices
Next go into the “Speech” program
You can make your message in there if you would prefer. Just play it over your speakers, and hold
your microphone close to record it. Make sure to save your “ringtone” as a .mp3 file
The next thing were going to do is make a couple hundred copies of our “fake” ringtone, rename them
as whatever you like!
Now this part sucks;and is time consuming BUT it works.
Rename all of your .mp3 files to have ringtone related names, variations on songs,so forth.
Now you need to download a ringtone converter. I have included a link to a couple of different ones on
the members page for this package.
Once you have a converter, run all your “fake” ringtones through it.
At this point upload them to torrent sites,share them via limewire/kazaa lite/so forth.
This trick also works well with blog generating programs, simply drop in your list of keywords;make a
rapidshare link be the text to appear on all blogs generated, and watch the downloads pour in.
If you really want to be sneaky, you could also create a payperinstall .exe file in the package titled
“Ringtonesync.exe” or something.
Method #3:PPC
Now I know what a lot of you PPC noobies are thinking; SHIT SHIT SHIT
Am I right?
Well thats whats great about this method. You can doctor almost any offer to convert pretty much as
well as would be humanly possible. For the time being I’m going to try to keep uploading new
templates everyday, probably just one or two a day at most. If you take a look at the templates already
available Im sure you will see very quickly just how easy it would be to profit via PPC with this method.

that blows my mind. when I can prg at that level I cant imagine what I Can do!

I would love a broader breakdown of this - I understand most of it, but am still confused....I know what should happen and how it is supposed to work, but getting it worked out from the original post is confusing...no offense OP.
-
You'll definitely want to figure out how to mix legit traffic on this offer, preferably clicks to dilute your conversion rate. If you're converting significantly higher than everyone else that's pushing the offer, the CPA's compliance department will crawl up your ass with a microscope.
If you're faking the referrer here, you can fake it from another legit traffic site - maybe a redirect.
-
whats a payperinstall.exe?
-
pretty good but...
I LIKE THIS I THINK IT WOULD BE PRETTY GOOD FOR NOOBS, ALTHOUGH MORE ADVANCED IM'ers USE BETTER METHODS. BUT ISNT IT GOING TO GET A LITTLE SATURATED WITH TONS OF PEOPLE DOIN THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE
-
Well remember this if you're using blackhat methos there's always a rist of getting banned from cap netowrok cuz if they see that the lead won't convert for the advertisier they will know who should be blamed for that :)
