how do I rip LP to tweak for my own use (3)
Hey guys I'm just trying to launch my first campaign right now and I need to create a landing page. I have been told and have read that its is much easier to just simply use something that already works. That being said, I purchased site sucker but have no idea how to use it. Few questions right now
1. Where do I even find the landing pages to rip? Im using my spy tool right now but I can only find ads not landing pages?
2. How do I use Sitesucker, I went on youtube to see what they can show me but the videos their were not very informative and just showed that you type in the URL and it will download all the files into a folder. I am planning to use adobe muse to tweak the landing page.
My main question is can anyone show me a thread or a outline of how to use site sucker and transfer everything to adobe muse? 
You shouldn't need SiteSucker just to copy a web page, but it will do it better than just saving through your browser.
HTTrack is a good alternative but might be Windows-only.
Firstly, Adobe Muse is a WYSIWYG page builder and it can only open Muse documents. You cannot edit pages you have downloaded, few WYSIWYG editors will do this. I believe Google Website Designer is able to. Otherwise you will need a code editor. There are many, even notepad++ will suffice.
Secondly... we recommend spying to see what works and we know people rip each others pages, but we don't condone it. So, there will never be a tutorial on how to steal other affiliates content - it doesn't encourage creativity or foster goodwill with the community and will irk people who's original content get's stolen.
For finding the pages, if you can't get to them by clicking on the ads in a spy tool, then go do some research. Go be a site user and find the pages yourself.
If you want to rip other people's landers, you really first need to know a) how to actually create landers in the first place, b) how to read and edit the page code i.e HTML/CSS/JS.
If you do just download pages, then upload them to your site, and maybe just change a CTA link in it, you are going to have a bad time - if you think it's this easy, I can almost guarantee a savvy affiliate is going to burn you and make money from your naivety.
I probably shouldn't mention this but on my linux system i use wget to retrieve software installs and stuff.
You can also use wget to retrieve other stuff.
It just takes one command line to retrieve a complete page including the files linked to from within the source code... the css files, js, images etc.
It's free and comes with basically every linux install. And I guess everyone has a linux vps running somewhere to where they can login to the console and perform the wget command.
I actually think they have a windows version.
A command would look like this:
wget --random-wait -r -p -e robots=off -U mozilla http://landingpagetorip.com
--random-wait makes it wait for a random time to access files
-r is for recursive and makes it download the files that are linked to from within the source code
robots=off is to ignore the robots.txt
-U sets the user agent
-p and -e .. can't recall from the top of my head right now.. intoxicated. dubai ftw!
