just my 2 cents: yeah, still works but u gotta be careful. do u think google is cracking down harder on these now or still kinda chill?

like, i've seen about 30-40% traffic drops after dumb disavow moves, and then it usually recovers if you pull that file. one time a client lost like 50% in a month after disavowing 1500 spammy links, took it off after 2 weeks and traffic started climbing again in 3 days. kinda wild how fast...

different angle: i actually tried that once, spent ages tweaking filters and caps, thought i was gonna tame the fraud beast lol but still got flagged hard sometimes. end up losing some legit leads and not much ROI boost, so now im kinda wary of pushing DOI too far. just not worth the headache imo.

I remember when I first tried to launch my own product I thought I'd be done in a month. Took me like 6 months and a lot of trial and error before it even saw the light of day lol. Definitely underestimated how much work is involved.

careful with US servers, they do get blocked fast. but sometimes switching to less obvious ones works, just gotta keep trying different ones. VPNs aren't perfect but u can usually find ones that work for a while.

I've seen my CTR fluctuate like crazy too but I think it mostly depends on the ad placements and targeting. Sometimes it's just about testing different angles and offers till you find a combo that sticks. no way to get perfect ratios all the time.

bruh, yeah ppl just assume it's slow without actually testing with tools like speedtest or nperf, lol.

been doing this 3 years and speed tests are all over the place lol. for gaming and streaming, id say go for the most stable ping and low jitter, not just max speed. wireguard usually wins for that.

different angle: do you really think riding PBNs now is smart or just chasing quick wins? isnt it just a ticking time bomb you might regret later?

last month i got burned by a network that looked legit but was hiding stuff, so i still think personal checks and talking to reps is key, no tool can replace that gut feeling.

honestly i think people worry too much about jurisdictions, like honestly most VPNs just wanna sell your data to the highest bidder anyway lol. but yeah, Five Eyes kinda makes you think twice. still, a good VPN is better than nothing I guess.

yeah exactly, u gotta keep switching up stuff, not just proxies but also user agents, headers, timing. i used this anti-detect bot called x-raid for a bit, it helps kinda hide your fingerprint. but still not foolproof, site can catch patterns if ur not careful.

tbh careful with just blaming outreach, fam, i tried using Check My Links tool on moz and it was a for me, made finding dead links way easier and faster. maybe give a tool like that a shot before throwin in the towel

but isn't it also true that smartlinks can help you scale faster once you kinda get the hang of it? like, you get less stuck on testing individual offers all the time. do u think it's better to just start with the offers from the start even if it takes longer?

ok so ya, totally agree. speed tests are so influenced by ur current network and time of day, best to run ur own multiple tests if u wanna get real idea. one test alone is kinda useless tbh

yo, i tried SaaS myself once, thought the recurring commish was a bag but man, the onboarding was like pulling teeth. fam, dont fall for the shiny numbers, sometimes the grind just ain't worth it.

different angle: had a similar mess with a uk network, they just sent me a 1099 but never withhold anything so I had to do all the tax stuff myself lol. makes me wish there was a clear list of who handles taxes

last month i tried switching to biweekly payments after doing weekly for a while. honestly it felt kinda better for my sanity, less stress on my cash flow. i still prefer NET30 sometimes tho, gives me time to juggle my expenses but yeah, depends on the client.

yeah exactly, support for protocols like WireGuard is nice but if the VPN is slow or leaks, it's useless lol. like whats the point if ur IP leaks or buffering kills ur vibe. gotta test that shit before trusting it.

most of the time the links just die after a week or two, i remember doing a swap with some small site and they dropped the link in like 3 days lol. i think the key is legit outreach and making sure the sites are actually active and keep their links alive. one time i did a guest post on a legit...
