So, I've invested a lot of time and effort into developing a CPA money site of mine. So far things are going pretty well and I've made a significant amount of review articles that are way better than all my competitors and are like 1,300 to 1,800 words each, with dozens loads of pictures and screenshots. I've designed and redesigned every page to try to get it just right.

Now, I've got affiliate links inside those articles to the product itself, which of course gets me a nice viewer cookie, which means if he/she buys the product after being convinced by my review, I get commission.

Now, if my article convinces the user but they don't click on my link, I earn fuck-all. That's just the way CPA works. Not complaining, I just need to make the users want to click my link.

Now, getting fucked by Google aside, what do you guys think about being a bit of an asshole and adding a tiny iframe with my CPA link to automatically cookie all users who read my article? That way if they go and buy directly afterwards, I still get commission?

I no it's an asshole move, and not really ethical, but I'm just curious. I'd never actually do it because I'm sure I'd get ass-raped by Google if they noticed it, and I've put too much effort into making this site rank.

pretty easy for google to detect, and easy for your network to detect as well. I guess you migth get away with it for a while with your network until you give them cause for a manual review, so if you do do it try to cloak as much as possible. But it is deffo a matter of time, and probably illegal?
 
Guys, like I said, it's an ass-hole idea and I'm not going to do it. I was just curious about peoples' thoughts on it.
 
I swear I didn't kill my wife I just googled "different ways to kill my wife tutorials" because I was curious.
 
HOLY FUARK! I remember this SauceKit guy from BHW...

Christopher Kennedy (SauceKit)

In February 2010, Christopher Kennedy was indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for his cookie stuffing script, SauceKit. The script targeted cookie stuffing against Ebay and was promoted on some blackhat forums. He pled guilty to the charges. In June 2012, he was sentenced to six months prison, 3 years supervised release following prison (a large part of which involves the prior approval and monitoring of any kind of computer use) and restitution of Ebay of $407,934.39.

Interesting, I remember Shawn Hogan's huge blog post about this in 2010. It's no longer on Digital Point, but it's still on Shoemoney's site:
