Hi, my name is Aaron, i currently own 1 website and am still fresh to the field. Pursuing multiple PPD sites and 1-2 e-commerce websites from now until the future. I am currently registered to adwork media PPD network and my question is how do i create link lockers under my account on certain links on my wordpress website? Thanks guys.

Also - If anyone wants to talk / chat about Internet Marketing or shoot the shit feel free to skype me - Jolly2step

Appreciate it.

      lol cow patties! Yeah maybe i am going in the wrong direction who knows. It's a gaming site that is established but needs some TLC. PPD link offering codes / keys. What is your opinion brother? Thanks.

    I think most of it is black hat, it was when I did it.

    So is it?

      Well.. I don't necessarily have to offer codes through PPD then. What's the next best thing for an information site that offers free beta keys / other codes for 1 game? Anything you recommend to monetize? Can all wordpress themes be optimized with ads? I don't believe there are place holders for them. Thanks

    No pretty much all blackhat to me. Made some quick money in blackhat and got more headaches than its worth. Hosting accounts dropped, forum accounts dropped. Paypal bans, you name it.

    Not messing with it.

    Content lockers and such for cheats/codes/beta keys can be okay as long as you're actually offering what you say you are. It's when you put a content locker on something you say is a beta key when they really don't get anything, that's when it goes blackhat.

    The point of content lockers is to lock content, so if you're locking legit content, there shouldn't be a problem.

      It is legit information / keys. They just have to fill out an offer to get the information. PPD just seem easier to make than others but there are hardly any tutorials on it. This site is based on a game that will be released when XBox One is released. Content needs to be boosted. I helped make the site and now i own it but don't how to link adwork media link lockers to the main "Download here" links. If it's a bad route then maybe i will re-think this through. Thanks

    I definitely want to stay white hat. I don't want to be dropped from anything and i also want to stay clean and legit.

    If you're giving out beta keys you also need to make sure there aren't regulations against monetizing them in any way. Some games will say you aren't even allowed to have ads on the same page as them.

    To be 100% sure you are whitehat, I'd probably choose another niche. It's not worth the possibility of working up to $100+/day and then getting it shut down. I had that happen with a site that was using content locking as well. It hurt

    Edit: Another way to monetize the keys would be to make a fan page for the game and then give them out to people who like it. You can build up a huge following on Facebook this way and sell them other stuff later. This is what I would do.
