Kittens, I’ve brought you so much good stuff! Okay, actually, I brought you this long ago … Now it’s time to gather all the good stuff and summarize the half-year results. Keep scrolling, because this is AlterCPA’s boring report on milestone number 34. It’s just a scattering of little details and… two new products!
GGL 2.0
I’ll start with our collaboration with Ildar, a great Google guru. You’ve probably experienced the first version of GGL. It was a powerful tool that handled all aspects of launching Google campaigns, from account registration and card linking to launching the campaign itself and fetching the statistics. But its stability left much to be desired – everyone had their own unique approaches to setting up campaigns, and implementing them all in GGL was difficult.
We’ve rethought the entire project concept and present you with the new GGL 2.0, which will be truly useful for everyone who works with Google:
- We’ve completely moved to anti-detection browsers. From now on, all workflows take place directly in your own browser, installed on your own server. You have complete control over your accounts – the GGL service is simply connected to manage them. No more problems transferring accounts from GGL!
- We’ve retained only those tasks that are universal and stable for everyone — account registration and farming itself. These tasks take the most time and effort, but can be highly automated. We had to eliminate unstable tasks, which vary slightly from user to user and are much easier to implement manually.
- We’ve perfected farming, bringing its behavior as close as possible to that of real, living people. It’s no longer possible to pinpoint a pattern — each profile is unique and lives its own life. Quite a rich one, I must say, because he must have the money to work with Google!
To make things even better, we’ve also lowered the prices to make the service convenient for solo webmasters who only need a few dozen accounts, a couple per workday. A full review can be found in a separate article.
AlterCPA Lite
A couple of years ago, in August 2023, I decided to try a strange experiment: to take all my expertise from ten years of working in the CPA industry and create a simple, high-quality tracker that would fit perfectly with the main AlterCPA platform. It was based on the developments of the AlterCPA One cloak, to which we added split testing, and as a result, a month later in the fall, AlterCPA Red was released.
In just a couple of years, AlterCPA Red, a joke project created just for fun, has grown into a full-fledged solution for tracking any traffic sources. Combined with AlterCPA One, it creates the perfect tool — a tracker and cloaking solution for solo and affiliate teams. A kind of AlterCPA for the healthy individual, simple and straightforward.
So, two years after the start, in the fall of 2025, I released my best work to date – the server-side tracker AlterCPA Lite. Yes, we’re short on names, but we’ll definitely improve. What’s so great about it?
- It’s based on the AlterCPA Red tracker with the AlterCPA One cloak, meaning you have the same excellent tools for traffic, split testing, cloaking, cost analytics, and website management. Essentially, this is AlterCPA One at its finest.
- This is a server-based solution, meaning there are no artificial limits on traffic, the number of campaigns, or sources. You can easily pump millions of clicks from popunders, and no one will say a word.
- You can do whatever you want on your server, which means you can even customize the system – the hacks everyone loved from AlterCPA Pro. Integrations with Facebook and Google are already included – the rest is up to your imagination and goals.
Now it’s even easier for you to get confused when choosing an AlterCPA product! That’s why I’ve divided everything into two product lines…
AlterCPA product lines
With the introduction of the server tracker, we now have two product lines: the AlterCPA Pro platform and the AlterCPA Lite tracker. Each line features something old, something new, something borrowed… No, it’s not from here! There are products for every budget and traffic volume, from free, stripped-down solutions for beginners to professional server and cloud options.
The platform is built on three pillars:
- AlterCPA Pro is a full-fledged server platform without any limitations. An all-in-one solution with a built-in tracker, cloaking, CRM, traffic analytics systems, websites, and a wealth of functionality. The best option for affiliate networks, direct advertisers, and large affiliate marketing teams.
- AlterCPA Cloud is a cloud-based version of AlterCPA Pro. Its unique feature is that we provide the server for your platform. This allows you to use the platform on our simple server for half the price, making it ideal for small teams and start-up networks.
- AlterCPA Moe is a free cloud solution designed for direct advertisers. It features only a CRM for order processing, without tools for detailed traffic analysis. However, the CRM allows you to manage your offers and affiliates, whether they are solo, part of a team, or part of a third-party affiliate network.
The tracker is also available in three variations:
- AlterCPA Red is a cloud-based solution for beginners. It offers a free plan for beginners, and the prices are extremely affordable. It’s ideal for working with Facebook and teaser networks at low volumes.
- AlterCPA One is a cloud-based cloaking solution suitable for professionals. It offers comprehensive traffic filtering designed for serious traffic sources like Google or Bing. The prices are not exactly affordable.
- AlterCPA Lite is a server-based tracker with a full-fledged cloaking solution. All the best of AlterCPA Red and AlterCPA One without the annoying neighbors. The ideal solution for medium and large teams, without artificial limits on traffic or the number of users.
The perfect solution for a good affiliate marketing team would be a combination of the new AlterCPA Lite and the trusty AlterCPA Cloud – it offers both an easy-to-use tracker and an in-house platform for tracking and distributing traffic.
Nice little things
New products have taken up all the resources of my modest development department, so there’s little time left to polish the platform. But it has acquired its share of useful features:
- The entire AlterCPA build and update distribution system has been completely overhauled. I’ve discontinued support for the ancient ionCube Loader 12 and migrated everyone to version 15. Externally, users haven’t noticed anything, but internally, everything is now compiled differently. Version 34 is the last one that can be deployed to the old server.
- Updated the integration with ad networks in both the platform and the tracker. Added cost export via API from VK advertising accounts and updated TikTok pixels.
- I’ve started reworking the old “Caps” section – I’ve sped it up internally and added a useful feature externally. You can configure the time period for which the cap counts leads, which, combined with the “all-time” period, provides, for example, a convenient counter for a specific month. You can also choose the timestamp itself: lead receipt, lead sending to the advertiser, approval, or deal closing.
- Those who like to play with caps will also appreciate the updated order distribution scripts – you can now use the subid and domain when writing scripts. And for the more casual users, there have been boxes for a long time.
- I had to tinker with the core of affiliate programs – postbacks. Everyone’s favorite CloudFlare has once again “improved” its protection mechanisms and decided to cut postback requests due to unnatural headers. They added a bit of realism to cURL, and now postbacks appear to be sent by a browser. Yes, simulating a browser in an API request. No, it’s not me who’s nuts, it’s CloudFlare.
- I added integration with PrivateFlare to the tracker and updated the integration in the platform. The tracker implemented everything perfectly, but the platform still needs some work to get the addresses of active nodes for parking.
- The built-in storage of white sites on the platform is no longer secure. It’s all your fault, you asked for it to be this way! Under public pressure, a checkbox was added in the storage settings that allows uploading sites with PHP files. Use only in teamwork and at your own risk. Or better yet, don’t use it at all – you don’t need it.
- On the other hand, the site storage and TDS, which is responsible for flows, have received a useful security improvement – a bit of protection against looped traffic. Now getting the “Lord of the Rings” achievement has become a little harder.
- I’ve added problems for those who like to steal lead databases. From now on, any download of any Excel file is logged along with all parameters, whether it’s a useful list of leads and orders or a simple statistics report.
- I rewrote all downloaded files, be it API files, ready-made website builds, or traffic filtering files. They all now work reliably on PHP 7.0 to 8.5 and can be used on any server. Some will even work on 5.3, but they’re so ancient that they’re hard to find anymore.
- All traffic filter integration files were meticulously rewritten. The WordPress integration version received particular attention – all non-standard headers have been removed, plus performance has been optimized.
- I added a new blocking option to the traffic filters – invalid paths. It catches requests to non-existent files or standard files like favicon.ico and the like. Previously, this would block legitimate visits if the landing page was poorly designed, but now even poorly designed sites work more reliably.
- The tracker now has APIs for all tasks, but we won’t tell you about them because you… oh, I mean, we don’t have any papers — the API documentation is still in development. Anyone can test it – I’ll write a short manual for a specific task upon request.
Year in Review
Not bad, what do you think? Two new products have been released, even though they were evolutions of existing ideas – remasters and remakes are popular these days. The product lines have been finalized, and now there’s a tracker and platform to suit every taste and budget. And most importantly, a thousand plush cats have found their forever homes!
