Thread: Do AMs Really Give a S**t about Cloaking?

Hey guys;
Just looking to get started on cloaking some sites and I've read quite a bit about it here. I believe I understand how it works, and the huge benefits. My question, as the title states...Do they really get on to you for this? I mean.., as long as they're making their cash.., do they give a sh*t?

The only thing I could really come up with from reading the forum is that big G will smack ya if they discover it.

Would love some feedback from some experts, so I know how 'stealth' I need to be or what to expect from AMs.

Thanks in advance!!

they give a shit.

if nothing converts you're banned because the advertiser cuts the lines and the cpa network will lose the money.

I asked my AM about it and he wasn't fine with it.
However, 2 days later, i showed him my site (cloaked aff link) and he said if i made it and i simply said no, it's an iframe. He said it was okay since the advertiser was fine with it.

Thanks for the response Mondlicht;

Soooo.....ok; what if you're very targeted? As long as you have conversions, the network is happy, the AM is happy......all is good?

Yea, it's less of a deal with your manager, they love it secretly. They don't tell you they do because if a merchant gets pissed off then he will come after you and enough incidents of this he will pull his product which means CPA company loses money. It's a fine line to be walking my friend, but if you play your cards right you should be fine. Always try to mix a little white hat so they back off.

So...; maybe this differs from network to network, advertiser to advertiser...or even AM to AM..?

Ok, so many times...it's a don't ask, don't tell kind of thing. Obviously, faking ref. would help eh?

EDIT: Cool avatar Man!!eace:

correct. you should always ask them first before doing it.

Awwww man.. You mean I gotta ask? :callyou:
I've always been better at seeking forgiveness, than asking for permission.:smokin:


Hehe... Maybe that's why I'm divorced??..:drinking8

lol dude they dont care if you cloak... all 20 of my aff managers know i cloak. they say to push more. Why would they care? its getting targeted search engine traffic... its not spamming or anything like that..
