Take a look at this: http://consumerjournal.co.uk/beauty/ I spotted it after clicking an ad for "free teeth whitening" kits (or something). I read the whole page, then it suddenly dawned on me: I was reading a presell/landing page, not a real news article. It's subtle and real, and I bet it converts like hot cakes. Food for thought
The funny thing is, they have a script set up which locates your IP, and puts in the article, stating that Cathy (the person from the article) is from wherever you're from. It's at the 6th row
Be careful. These are sites that the FTC is shutting down. 'Fake blogs' and 'fake newspaper' sites endorsing info products.
Meet the farticle ... and yes, the FTC is all over them... But tons of networks will let you run them with the appropriate disclaimers
That's putting it mildly. Not one to try if you live in the US or your server's there; exactly what the FTC are prosecuting!
Yes it's inappropriate to out an affiliates site on an affiliate forum and not allowed on most reputable affiliate forums. That said, I agree with others, this is exactly the type of site the FTC is going after and is going to make it harder for honest marketers too.
Wow Cathy is a modest mum from ... Reading! It might just be me, but when I see "As seen on CNN, ABC, etc." I think "Scam" immediately - and that applies on or off line. What they don't say is what was seen on CNN. Perhaps it was a person with white teeth. Edit: And s***t it has an exit popup and redirect - they are not looking for repeat visitors then!
No, she lives here in the US about an hour from me so I think I might drive down the highway and pay her a visit.
someone was giving away this template on DP for CPA offers. I managed to get it. But after actually reading this and looking at it properly I'll give this one a miss.
Shame I didn't know about this site when I went on holiday to Thailand Cathy is a modest mum from Bangkok Cathy is a modest mum from Phuket Town etc. would have made me smile!
Can you explain what the big deal is about linking to a landing page on any forum?? Anybody can do a google yahoo bing msn ask etc search on any affiliate term and find a smattering of poor to great landing pages. From there they can do with them what they want. There is no secret being revealed. If AMs don't want their landing pages found online, they should terminate all hosting accounts, take their pages offline and then they should post them in a newspapers and supermarket bulletin boards. Easy fix to that problem.
I kept scrolling down the page wanting to reply about how silly people get with landing page secrecy, that post explained it perfectly, all I had to do was quote lol
I don't think that the point is that they're such a big secret. The point is that if you post a landing page on an IM forum, you then get a bunch of newbs copying your landing page and diluting your mojo. capiche? Not that this was a great landing page, but that doesn't matter. Any landing page you put out on an IM forum will get copied.
Ohh I see. 1. Nobody can steal the design of the sites in your sig link? 2. What do the businesses in the real world do, make themselves invisible to their competitors? 3. What happens when the newb designs a much better landing page?? Imagine if Ray Kroc of McDonalds was scared of competition....all we would know is Burger King.....maybe....that guy could have been scared too...then we might be left with Jack in the Box.... Glad at least one other person here seems to see things the way I do...I was worried everyone was a schizo paranoid AM lol
