Pay Per Install?

    Have you guys ever used Pay Per Install? Or do you think it's too unethical?

    Pay per Install is basically sharing an .exe file of your affiliate program and getting paid each time the .exe is ran. The .exe is usually adware.

    I wrote a post about getting started with pay per install
    a while ago on my blog.

    I have used ppi just for a while now, but I'm seeing some pretty good results already. What do you think about it?

    Not comfortable at all obviously. =P

    I just found out this technique and tested it. I'm nto sure if I will continue doing it.
    This is same shit as Zango, Just a bit more effective using torrnts.

    Pay Per Install is very profitable, for companies at least.

    I found myself making $25 a day uploading 3-5 torrents which is not a lot of work. At least it is better than having to struggle with adsense trying to get some god damn clicks when you can make some bucks easier doing some nasty stuff in this filthy world.

    Although this is a saturated method, people who can actually read forums and think creative new ideas can make a lot from this.

    Million of files are downloaded daily via torrents.. So this pretty much can't get saturated. But if you come up with some unique tools/methods, you can make even bigger money.

    I can say that the pay per install scene suffers a lot now, TPB will delete any windows application torrents in sight, even if they are not infected, they got fed up with this whole thing.

    Sad for us, but this will keep noobs away and yea, you can make installs with alternative ways, torrents are for starters :rolleyes:

    There are other ways besides .exe files to use .torrents. And there are other big trackers for .exe-files.

    Also Limewire etc. could work with some stuff.

    Haven't tried Limewire but I heard it's a waste of time, anyway, PPI kicks Adsense and PPC advertisements networks' asses! I started making some real bucks with PPI while anything else failed =]

    Its a good way to shoot yourself in the foot in this industry. Make your money honestly rather than trying to hijack other webmasters commissions....which is what alot of adware and pay per install software does... Why chose to work for a disreputable organization when there are so many good and well meaning businesses out there you can make good money with... Most webmasters will ban your site if you try to link to them from such a site.

    I wouldn't really recommend anyone to use this pay per method.

    I mean seriously, would you feel comfortable downloading some shit on your computer?

    Probably not, neitherwill your visitors.
