Hiding your lead sources?

TJComer02 · 03-17-2010, 03:01 PM

Hey guys, I guess you could call me sort of a newbie to CPA, but basically it has replaced my previous income and now is my job, along with some other IM ventures. Now, I've heard from several folks that us CPA marketers need to hide our traffic (leads) sources. For example if we're getting conversions by the thousands from a unique type of site, i've been told the CPA network sometimes spies and uses your idea so they won't have to give you that commission. Anyway, I do alot of redirects, especially for videos and ppc, mostly because I have a few very neat sounding domain names, at least I think so. Real quick, does anyone know how to hide your source when someone clicks on a link to my site and gets redirected straight to the offer? Any tips would be appreciated, as i'm starting to get super high conversions. I don't know how much money I have to make before they start taking notice, but I figure they've probably already picked up on a couple of my methods. I know that I didn't invent anything new, it's just I want every dime that I can get.

Prosper202 has some built-in cloaking, that will hide most of your traffic, with DMR added you should be ok as far as traffic source. There are some other things that you sometimes want to hide (identifying CPV/PPV), that would take additional work.

Yeah, I would just use prosper or tracking for now. If you start getting massive traffic then thats when you can start doing more fancy stuff. The reason I say this is because if you arent doing a lot of traffic, the network may be like wtf if they see you are hiding or faking your traffic source. May think you are doing something sketchy.

Once you have a history with them and you are doing more traffic, then the power is in your hands and they should understand that you want to protect your assets.

	So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.
