Offshore comes up once in a while here, but mostly around taxes. I'm not so much worried about taxes, although legal tax avoidance is a nice side benefit I guess. I'm interested in anonymity or at least massive asset/legal/privacy protection. I've had my run-ins with the law and I don't ever...

AltusHost.com I like that they run LiteSpeed instead of Apache as web server, prices for budget-shared are fantastic (starts at $15/YEAR) and they are under Belize law, servers in Netherlands, i.e. offshore host. They even have this page: http://warezhost.net/ On the other hand, searching for...

One of my sites has an Amazon store section that currently runs a so-called "aStore". It's a customizable iframe that serves a shopping cart system directly from Amazon. Easy, but completely SEO-hostile as search engines don't read iframes. I'd like to replace it with something that works like...

Okay, I'm not exactly a newbie, but this sounds much like a newbie question. I like to search before I post because most questions have already been asked and answered 1000 times. Reading an old post is way faster than writing a new one and then waiting for others to reply. Problem:Search...

I have some software installed on my LAMP-based host that I'm worried about that it might "phone home". Is there a way to intercept connections my server initiates to the outside? I'm not concerned about normal server traffic, where my server simply responds to incoming requests, only those...

I have this setup: LP popped by PPV network -> pop logged by Prosper202 via embedded JS -> click links to P202 -> logs and redirects to offer. Everything's fine, I see clickthroughs, targeted URLs etc. Now I want to run the same campaign on another PPV network and realized I wouldn't be able to...

I'm setting up an extremely simple PPV landing page, which will pop at 750*550. Filled with a 550px tall image, so it should just exactly fill the open window. But for some reason Safari and FF add a thin white margin underneath the picture, which triggers scroll bars. I already canceled out the...

Yeah, hard to believe, but see for yourself: Does prosper tracking link still work if I shorten it using Tinyurl/Bitly? And these are the guys running tech support for a product like Prosper202!

I checked out the hall yesterday (only have exhibit hall pass), but was a bit underwhelmed. Got to talk to a few network reps and some other folks but didn't learn anything groundbreaking new. Free skateboard decks handed out, but I don't skate so that doesn't wow me. Lot's of hard-sells about...

The length of URLs to be used in most PPV networks is limited to 40 or 50 characters. If you want to target specific pages on a large site, this can be limiting: example.com/archive/2009/11/?storyId=123456 The 40 character limit cuts this to: example.com/archive/2009/11/?storyId=123 To get the...

Need to buy something and I'm not on their affiliate program myself. (They actually denied me for not having an electronics-focussed site). Post or PM your link and you can make a few bucks off of me.

They got shredded to pieces here earlier: http://www.wickedfire.com/affiliate-marketing/80129-directcpv-listening.html http://www.wickedfire.com/affiliate-marketing/84705-shooting-direct-cpv.html But the last thread is over a month old and there was talk about upgrades. Also, the way they...

I just went to WF and got this: Ran a scan with ClamXav, couldn't find any adware on my computer. And AFAIK there isn't really any adware for Macs anyway. How could this happen? Also, I haven't gotten this warning on other sites and have been surfing around all morning. Why would I get a...

I'm looking for farticles landing page templates (mimic media outlets like newspapers or TV stations), kinda like: That ^ design isn't the best, but gives you an idea. They are typically PHP with features like geo-targeting, timers etc. I know I could just copy someone's HTML and fiddle with...
