Been at this just about 2 years and honestly i've seen the same thing happen over and over. like u said, the rush from black hat can feel insane but it's almost always short-lived. in my experience, the few that get rich quick using sketchy tricks tend to lose it all just as fast. i stick to...
Careful with overthinking it, bro. SOCKS5 is better for stuff needing less restriction and more speed, HTTP for simple web browsing or API stuff. Just pick what fits your flow rn.
nah i don't buy it, simple is nice but sometimes you need more control or features. just cuz it works easy rn doesn't mean it won't limit you later if you get deeper into stuff. simplicity is fine but not always enough.
different angle: I think a lot of folks get stuck thinking the only way to make dating offers work is by finding that perfect niche or new traffic source. I've seen some success sticking to what's been working, but actually focusing on sharper targeting and better creatives can turn old offers...
bruh I feel you, tried some cheap links too and they just tanked my rankings or got my site sandboxed. I think if u pick super niche-specific sites with legit DA and do some soft tiering it might
yeah for real, i once got paid instantly on SOI but then it took weeks to clear, lol. gotta keep eyes on the backend timing or you get burned waiting. atm, i prefer CPL for quick flip and then test DOI
I kinda think you gotta get your hands dirty sometimes and just test a few, but I do agree vetting is key. Do you ever try reaching out on social media or forums to see if a site is legit before wasting time? That sometimes helps weed out the spammy ones quick.
Actually, I think focusing on a single task and mastering it before expanding is smarter. Trying to outsource everything at once usually leads to chaos, so pick one part, vet thoroughly, and only scale that.
Honestly I think the warning signs might be a bit overhyped. I've run some push campaigns with this network and as long as you keep the targeting tight and avoid spamming, the flow can stay decent. No big issues if you monitor it daily.
disagree on the title, honestly price can matter but its way more about how u manage rotation and fingerprinting techniques. a cheap proxy with smart rotation can beat a pricier one if used right. always focus on the tech behind the proxies, not just the cost.
I think you should cut the dead weight fast. If those two are inconsistent and dragging your ROI down, fire em and find sharper outsourcers or even try a hybrid model. Sometimes less but better team members save more headache than stacking a big crew.
