$500+ a day

DISCLAIMER: This post is not for the discussion of breaking laws or engaging in criminal activity. I have enough shit to deal with without conspiring to commit any crimes. However, I don't know all the laws in every country; therefore users here own their own comments and are responsible for them.

How is the question on everyones mind, do you make $500 a day without doing anything at all. Recently a few friends over at BHville, some DNF dudes and I got together and were discussing a few web related issues relevant to ongoing projects and so on.

One of them noticed some cookie stuffing in one of the sites he was on and called me over. I thought it was interesting because the site in question was a rather popular one that denounced BlackHat SEO. Oh well, I thought this would make for an interesting blog post so here goes.

See this is it, Cookie stuffing, the best way to scrape cash from every single visitor you get, so if you have a site generating 35thousand uniques a day, you might as well quit your day job...Now cookie stuffing is not 100% legal, it's not 100% safe and it is definitely not 100% effective, but it can be.

There is always a right way of doing something and a stupid way. In a nut shell, cookie stuffing is the act of placing you affiliate cookie in all your users browsers (this can be an affiliate cookie to any affiliate, or all of them, you can stuff a user with a hundred cookies if you like), when this user goes off to ebay or amazon or the likes and buys somehting, you get the commission.

Now a lot of people are caught and a lot get away with it. How do you get away with it? Simple.

Cookie stuffing is as easy as adding a nulled iframe in your body content so that the site loads within ur site, behind the scenes. There is a smarter way of doing this, for example;

PHP Code:
<?php
$domain 
parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
$referer $domain['host'];

$browser $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if (
$referer == "www.google.com" || $referer == "www.yahoo.com") {
if (!(
strpos($browser,'Mozilla') === false)) {
?>
<script language='javascript'>
<!--
COOKIE GOES HERE
//-->
</script>
<?php
}
}
Don't forget to encrypt your cookie code too.
What this does is serve cookies only to visitors who come from Google or Yahoo and only to visitors who are using a Mozilla-based browser (like IE or Firefox). This limits the amount of people your cookie gets served to so that it balances out the click to impression ratio, and by doing so you make the affiliate numbers natural and more realistic so as not to raise alarms.

It's really easy, and if done right you can make hundreds a day. Setup several different affiliate accounts and server different cookies on each site so you spread the $$ evenly among them and not cash up in one account.
