Developer blog

While you were distracted by interesting articles in my blog, I silently brought AlterCPA Pro to the 27th version! In this issue: hacks, applications, advertising networks, two -factor authentication and a pack of useful little things.

Do you want to kill a competing affiliate network on a couple of days? Or do you want to multiply the risks of getting such a bullet into the server? A DDoS attack puts the server down due to the huge flow of requests. The method is not new and there are many supposedly “methods” of protection. The most common is CloudFlare. But it won’t help you, and here’s why…

We are implementing full support for rental applications from the TD Apps vendor directly to the AlterCPA personal account. The kit includes integration with the rental service itself, ready-made naming, adding applications to your advertising account, and optimization.

My article on how to properly kill affiliate networks with a DDoS attack will be released soon. It is better to prepare in advance and protect your network in the most non-obvious direction – to hide the real source of your postback requests.

Why a huge part of traffic arbitrage is gray niches: gambling, crypto, nutra, dating, adult? The answer is pretty obvious. There is a lot of money in these verticals. Huge demand, large invoices and payments allow you to give more dollars to the partner who brought the client. However, there is a niche that is not inferior either in demand, or in the size of invoices, or in marginality. She is completely white and fluffy. This is the vertical of finance.

In previous articles, we figured out how to open an affiliate program using gambling, crypto and nutra. Let’s talk about dating today. Why is it possible to fall into the creation of a dating affiliate network only with great experience? This vertical is very controversial. On the one hand, there is very cheap traffic and low fees. On the other hand, there are a lot of offers and a lot of money with the right work. But my position is simple: if you don’t have specific experience in dating, it’s better to open an affiliate program in another vertical. The same gambling or nutra for relative beginners is just that.

Conventional advertising tells a person: “Look what a product! Beautiful, profitable, just a dream”. Content marketing is much more subtle, more elegant. First, we give a person interesting content that is useful to him or at least interesting. And already inside this content, with varying degrees of sophistication, we talk about the product.

I’m sure if you see how packs of leads fall into trash, and it’s harder to wait for approval than real innovations in iPhones, then you conclude that call center employees are crooked stutterers who can’t sell anything to your hot leads.

As part of this series of articles, we have already discussed gambling and crypto. The rubric is designed to help novice affiliate program creators understand the intricacies and peculiarities of creating such a specific business in different verticals. Nutra is an extremely interesting thing, and the affiliate network also works under special conditions. I think even guys with experience will get useful theses and thoughts from today’s material.

Affiliate programs that were created three to five years ago and managed to survive are now doing relatively well with the base of affiliates. Due to the crazy variety of affiliate programs, many scam stories and fierce market dynamics, 99% of new networks close in the first six months. They don’t have a media resource, they don’t have good marketing, and as a result, they don’t have affs. And how to attract publishers?

In the previous part of this series, we talked about launching our affiliate program in the gambling vertical, you can read it here. Today we will plunge into a completely different industry – crypto. There are a lot of features for creating an affiliate network in this niche. But, like gamble, crypto is an extremely monetary vertical and any mother moneymaker can envy the income of even medium-sized affiliate programs.

Remember, remember the 4th of September … What? Wrong month again? Oh shi… So, along with the fourth of September, AlterCPA Pro version 26 breaks into our lives! This release has private sites and new statistics, and the rest of the trivia will be found further.

If someone thinks that an affiliate program in gambling is at least somewhat similar to an affiliate program in shopping or sweepstakes, you are greatly mistaken. These are radically different businesses, different partners, different problems. Let’s take a look at how to search for offers and attract affiliates.

There is no perfect protection against fraudsters. It will always be a race to see who is smarter and more cunning. Our task is to make it so difficult, hemorrhoid and risky to deceive and pharm that the vast majority will simply be killed. Or they will go to another affiliate network, where there is less smart leadership.

We continue the topic, how affiliate networks can protect the contacts of its direct adverts. In this article I will tell you how to technically implement the described methods. It’s about masking the domain of the site. Of course, you can use these methods not only to protect the contacts of the advertiser, but also for other purposes. It all depends on your imagination.
