NickyCakes just released a cool tool called LP Lockdown, which is invite only. Blocks people from stealing your landing pages.

The only problem with that is that to make it work even if his servers go down, he needs to implement it as javascript. So you can just block his javascript to make sure you're always viewing the right page on affiliate sites.

From his video, where he shows omgacai.com, if you disable javascript in your browser you'll see these two scripts load:

http://11i.us/c/4OSIM7
http://11i.us/t/tHseoh

The first one redirects you to the dummy page, so if you get a firefox / browser addon where you can blacklist URLs, I would start by blocking the domain 11i.us entirely from ever loading.

That's a start, since i'm sure he'll have much more domains, but if he's been building up a list of affiliate IPs, it's easier to build a smaller list of domains.

Good luck Nicky.
 


No one click anything.

Just saying, for you super noobs. Don't click his shit.

I'll shrug off the fact that you're pretty much advocating stealing landing pages, and just say this. Anyone who is specifically trying to circumvent the cloaking portion of the service will be able to find a way.

Fortunately, the online marketing industry is HUGE, and the members of wickedfire, along with whoever else might have heard of my service represent such a small fraction of the space. In the grand scheme of things, almost nobody will know that you are cloaking your site.

Thanks for attempting to be a cunt and put the tracking url on as many places as possible to try and cause problems (it failed, but it looks funny in the logs). I'd ban you if I were an objective observer, but since you're talking shit about my product, and since I'm not afraid to stand by my work, I'll let you continue to embarrass yourself further at your leisure.

Good day, sir.
 
I don't do landing pages. I don't advocate for the thiefs either.
You blogged badly about a product I built myself and pissed me off months ago, so now this is just payback. I spent a lot of time building mine for the community, you spent a lot of time building yours. You discredit mine, I discredit yours.
Now we're even.
 
how'd that work out for you? feel better?

Now go fuck yourself

I was going to defend you for being kind enough to point out the faults in Nicky's products... especially after Nicky ragecaking at you for posting it... but after seeing this...

Hello friend,

Can say all want but in end Bagalamukhi know and see truth.

Good luck bro
 
Listen, I do want Nicky's tool to be better. I can make tons of suggestions. There are countless ways to make this tool absolutely flawless. Introduce load balancers with failovers. Don't rely on javascript, and on and on, but he doesn't listen anyways. All he does is bitch and discredit / annoy people who try to build products for the community. If he started acting a little more open to help from other people in the industry and actually gave back to the community, then most people would have no problem helping him in return.
 
I like the system and think there is definitely a market for it, however, I just think if people really want to steal a landing page that javascript isn't going to stop them. Also, paying $50 a month for a hosted client-side script that, at the very most, will only slow down the theft doesn't make sense to me.

Aside from that, it's still a great idea and more power to ya.

what do you say to the people that don't want to out their LPs to your proprietary, non-self hosted system?
 
Nicky, here's my suggestion. This one's free.

User has a PHP script on their end which connects to your server and passes through $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] (the viewer's IP). Your server replies with a YES/NO based on the criteria they choose.
If you're afraid of your servers going down and their landing page not loading, you can easily add:

1) A timeout on replies from your server.
2) Integrate your uptime script on the PHP script to ping YOUR servers.
3) Just setup a failover system with 2 load balancers -> 3-4 application servers, and you'll never need to worry about your system going down. Load balancers can handle DDoS attacks themselves.

Dude, no one cares
 
Honestly thanks for the input, but we already have an API written and it was available to beta testers. We're just putting together better documentation and more sample scripts before we release it to more users.
