Different angle: maybe instead of stressing over proxies, focus on mimicking human behavior more. Like, random delays, mouse movements, all that. Sometimes proxy rotation's just a bandaid for bigger bot detection issues. lol
yep exactly, CTR and offer quality are key. like you said, smartlinks can boost clicks but if the CTR is low or the funnel is sus, the EPC will suffer. you gotta look at the whole picture, not just the smartlink stats. if the offer itself has a 1-2% CTR and you're seeing 0.1% conversions, that's...
bruh, tell me about it lol. I got burned a few times just trying to understand the payout structures, especially with those last minute rev share changes. best advice is stick to the bigger, well-known networks and test offers one at a time.
Ever actually tested those extensions with leak tests? I did once and was surprised how many leak or just reroute traffic at browser level only. full apps really do make a difference if you care about leaks, lol. most ppl don't realize how easy it is to expose their IP with just a simple extension
Ever tried SSTP? I used it a lot when traveling in countries with heavy VPN blocks and it kinda sneaks thru better than OpenVPN sometimes. Not as fast as Wireguard but more sus to unblock in weird places. worth a shot lol
Actually saw this too, spent a whole day wasting time on guest post links that never moved the needle. crazy how many people jump into outreach without even a quick SERP check, lol. just makes me laugh sometimes how basic it is but still so many miss it. I swear it's like everyone wants to skip...
disagree, split tunneling can be super useful if u pick the right tool. like NordVPN's split tunneling is pretty solid and less prone to leaks if u follow their setup. just gotta know what ur doing, lol.
Proxies are basically just IP changers, not security tools. If you're doing anything shady or sensitive, a VPN is a must, lol. Proxy for quick hops, VPN if privacy really matters.
yep exactly, I remember those days. I once managed to get a direct line to a product owner, we hashed out a deal in 10 mins, no BS. my tip: try hitting up LinkedIn for direct contacts, search for the company and see if you can connect with someone involved in the project. sometimes that personal...
Been doing this 3 years too and I gotta ask, do you really think a drip feed can save you if the authority's built on shaky ground? seems like most just chase quick wins and ignore the long-term risks, no? lol
