Hi guys,
I've got a great opportunity for those of you who can generate hundreds of thousands of downloads.
How about we give you your own browser with free VPN built in? You will be able to offer it to your extensive audiences as well as mailing lists as a great way to browse web privately and securely.
"What's so special about it?", you might wonder?
Obviously, when people use regular browsers and search for e.g. "Casino", they get direct links to websites that rank high - e.g. Casino.com or EuroCasino.com and nobody makes any money in this equation, except, of course, google and the named casinos.
Now Imagine you have arranged a hundred thousand downloads of your version of the browser. On day one these 100 thousand people start searching for "Casino" in google, bing, yahoo - you name it. And if you have set up affiliate trackers for casino offers in your browser's back end, all those people using search will go to casino.com/your-tracker.php and EuroCasino.com/your-tracker.php
And this can be done for all sites and niches offering affiliate deals. It gets even better, when, for example, your browser users search for casino reviews, get to an affiliate site, and when they click to an already present affiliate link, you might have figured it out already, they again land on a casino site via YOUR tracking links.
The next version of the browser will feature ability to hunt and replace banners on major sites. Meaning, that whenever your browser users go to e.g. forbes.com, all their banners will be replaced by yours. This way you will be able to monetize on CPM, CPC, CPL, PPC - you name it.
To sum it all up, we're looking for serious traffic generators, and are willing to hand them over their own version of the browser (custom branded), so that we all could benefit from the actions that the users (who love free VPN) take.
If you are interested in this project, PM me, and I will provide you with additional details.
I can also answer some general questions here. Please, only ask away if you can generate huge download numbers or know someone who can. We can also structure some referral deals on one-by-one basis.
Thanks for your time and attention.
Outside of ethics, is there any legislation to worry about here?
It's one step away from ISPs intercepting and changing links and I wonder whether it would quickly get flagged by AV software as malicious (you are changing user browsing destinations without consent after all).
Hmm - I don't know for certain if there is relevant legislation, but I'd definitely want to pass the entire idea past a very competent lawyer (for each juristiction you're monetising in).
We've employed some top lawyers in the Uk for the terms of use.
And the users won't be sent to unexpected places. E.g. If you search for poker, pokerstars.com will be in the first places. The only difference with our browser is that the users who found pokerstars in google, bing or any affiliate review site will be sent to pokerstars.com/youraffiliatetrackinglinkid via an intermediary redirect. There will be no other "hijacking" and annoying offers. Seamless operation.
Ahh, I see, but, is this not likely to be non-compliant from an advertiser perspective - as you are earning commission on clicks that were likely to go to the offer/advertiser page anyway.
It's like popping coupon offers for product X over product X's sales page or bidding on advertisers brand terms on search (e.g. putting your ads for Product Y above the natural search results for Product Y).
I think you may be missing the point.
For many CPA offers this would explicitly be non-compliant and if they investigated the source of your traffic, and found what you were doing, they would have grounds to redact every single lead you had ever sent (and likely would).
The point is that the advertiser would be paying you for leads that would have otherwise come from their SEO efforts - you are thus providing null increase in revenue to them. Given the small scale they likely wouldn't notice any concomitant drop in SEO-derived traffic, but compliance remains unchanged.
That's why the offer stands for publishers and traffic movers, not advertisers. We have extensive experience in hiding our tracks over the past 8 years. The only goal we're looking at is that we get to 1 million downloads by the end of the year.
It's not a sale offer but an opportunity in case someone wonders.
