Awesome site... Wish I had thought of it!

I have one called First Visit.

It goes back in time a few days (determined by you) to make it look up to date. Then it remember the date for a year so on return visits, it still shows the date you had originally.

You can check it out at: First Visit: Date Script

Swiped!

Thank you

They use a GEO "targeting" script to get the location from the IP. You can find some free ones that do it.

It's the Internet, nobody cares (as long as you don't hack into people's bank accounts or something like that). If they regulated the Internet like they do normal businesses I suspect 75% of IMs (including white hats) would be in prison.

Do you have more information on this?

And now when sandwich technicians get into their technical details,
I get lost there too.

yeah and add Domains by Proxy -

Not only does it matter, the FTC can go after the actual merchant for such blatantly fraudulent behavior on the affiliate's part.

The affiliate shouldn't condone this type of site at all. It's just too risky, and if you have to cheat this way to sell the product, it's not a good product.

A REAL marketer would CREATE this kind of success story to market with. Find a real lady, tell a real story.

Wow! It's amazing to me how many people on this board are fine with outright deception.

So many posts recently have basically said "Lying to people is okay, because it's just sales"

The ironic thing is, many of these posters promote products of their own. People can form their own opinions about exactly what's ethical and what's not, but if a marketer has no problem lying to potential customers, I certainly wouldn't trust anything they promote - how could I?

In marketing, accentuating the positives of something and glossing over the negatives can be seen as "just sales". Clearly, one wants to make their product as good as possible, and that's widely accepted and understood. Discussing the potential benefits of something, or the "best-case scenarios" is "just sales". I have no problem with making a product look as good as possible or with discussing the potential that something has.

Fake testimonials, doctored income proof, lies about affiliate status - these types of strategies give all marketers a bad name.

Thanks Steve. Obviously I'm not proposing we swipe her message and start using it verbatim - I think it's all a bit "scammy"... but the technique and methods behind it are pretty clever.

The most ironic part about it is that the same amount of PURE **** berry and even one of the the top rated colon cleansers in the natural,alternative and mainstream health world at Best Colon Cleansing and Body Detox Programs come out to be cheaper by volume/price.

So are you saying "SexySuzie36DD" does NOT really live in my area and isn't a real member of that online dating site trying to get me to sign up?!?!?!?

And it's also easy to spot the ethically-challenged who should be avoided like the plague. And the clueless ...

Over the years I have met a few people who constantly looked for the quick buck, who were wondering why they were inside a small cell a little later.

I know even more who weren't caught who if you asked them to answer honestly, would admit that they wished they had earned their money more ethically. They did feel uncomfortable with themselves and were never happy in themselves from what I could see.

Are you saying that to be a good affiliate you have to be dishonest and lie?

What utter nonsense. If a person gets in trouble for unethical practices they that person only has themselves to blame.

There are loads of ways of making great money without lying, cheating and scamming people.

Offer GREAT service and a GREAT product at a fair price, in high enough volume and you can't go far wrong. No one said it was easy, but it's not impossible either.

That world famous piece of copy (arguably) made between 1-2+ BILLION dollars in sales for the WSJ over the 28 years it ran in PRINT... and it was a FICTIONAL story yet it touched a nerve with the reader in ways that copy today could not and has not done since.

Terrific example Don.

"My soon to be wife absolutely loves this product. She has lost 15 pounds in the past week alone. She promised that she will be down to 130 lbs by our wedding, and guess what? She will be, easily. Thanks to this product!"

.... No guy gets THAT excited about their wedding.


still.. very good site.


cheers for showing us

YeaH. LOL.

Like that semi-buff dude with the ponytail got buff by swinging his arms and legs in a ski-walking motion.

Or that you are gonna look like that model or celebrity if you wear the clothes and sunglasses they wear, yep, you gonna look just like them.......despite the leprosy on half your face.

If Chuck Norris endorsed "High Karate Cologne" for men, yeah, I'll buy cause then, either chicks will associate The Chuckster with me if I smell like that, that me and Chuck are in the same exact league, or spraying some on will "magically" give me some kick-ass martial arts moves or simply give me the edge in kicken ass.

Yeah, baby, spray this on, become Chucks twin brother or not too distant relative in looks and skills.

LOL

Jesus, I stopped falling for advertisement like this when I was 8, but I guess it still works.

Like ordering a "diet coke" with any heavily breaded, butter soaked & marinated deep-fried lard fat product rolled into sugar and syrup, wedged in a sandwich made of two slices of monkey fat dripping with congealed gravy is "making a difference" in battling the bulge or real effort in cutting back, LOL.

Other products that have no calories, no fat, no carbs, no sugar, no salt and no transfat:

Rat Poison, paint thinner

Yep, I'm sold.....let me get my "MENTOS", the fresh maker, and everyday is going to be perfect, coincidense after coincidense of any bad luck INSTANTLY turned into good luck in MY favor. LOL.

Don't blame the advertisers. Blame us, the easily led sheep.

Unless the product is kick ass and matches rep and claims or goes beyond over-delivery, I steer clear on purpose of advertise products that blantanly and needlessly insult ones intelligence.

I've yet to buy a methos, and refused several offered to me for free.

Not necessarily a moral issue, my stomach starts turning when I see that name and remember those commercials.

The gag reflex starts tingling in my throat.

Bad example

theres a big difference though. They dont every once say that guy got that body like that.

That lady is SAYING she is from "your city"

They are also SAYING they lost the weight from **** berry.

I know this may be nit-picking, but did anyone notice that on the OP's website link, her breasts exploded in size with the weight loss and on the link I quoted, they shrunk like the rest of her. Wonder if the difference in photos affected conversions BTW, I really hate websites like this because so many gullible people fall for the ads on them.

Don't confuse ethics with legalities.

To me , unless photo shopped, the before and after pictures are tools/enticements to keep ones attention and give the most strongest compelling reason to buy.

Before and After photos of Arnold Schwarzeneggar in a picture with bowflex would not be believable.

We know his story and how he got that body in his hey-day.

Are you saying ethics and advertising can't go together?

Whenever I see those types of scripts, they always mention the same city, but it's about 10 miles from here. I live just outside of Baltimore city, but the script never says Baltimore. It always uses this other tiny suburb. I guess that means my ISP has their local server there?

Why in gods name have you posted a stupid 1 line response on a thread that's nearly 2 years old?!?!?!?!

Please don't bring old threads alive for the sake of raising your post count. Members on this forum dislike it and it certainty gets you no points/rep around here.

That's because it's illegal to do that now. They made a ton of money.
