Wow you guys are getting good at protecting landing pages!

So it seems every good landing page on Adplexity now is either infected with a trojan or has HTML and images encoded with content hidden in javascript.

Sure there are ways around it but you people are not making it easy for those of us who just want to use your template as inspiration. Well back to coding HTML in Dreamweaver for me!

Do you have anything you run pages through to detect things like images encoded with content hidden in js?

Hahaha, there must be some innovation after all, right?

Spy tools are so good these days that there are really no other options to go around that.

You can either:

Develop your own wall of protection and disappear from the spy tools completely.
(which will be still the cat and mouse game)

or

Stuck your landing page with these sneak scripts, so at the end you are "glad" that someone has copied your master piece.

I'm running into these issues as well, is there a tutorial on cleaning landers some where? I've tried searching the forums without any luck

If I was to hire a coder to clean up my landers what instructions should I give them? Or is there anyone on the forum that provides lander cleaner services?

Hit me up

A good option is to screenshot the lander, screenshot the different 'sequences' if there's more than one and getting it coded based on the screenshots from scratch. It's not the cheapest and fastest option, but might turn out a decent investment considering what you're about to lose running something that's protected and gets clicks back from you.

Lol!

You rock Man!

Where are these sneak scripts generally located? Are they only in .js files?

Best is to rip it, strip out all JS from html, all encoded images ... make a new html file, add the html/css, re-add your own JS, re-encode images etc. Pure HTML and CSS can do very little damage. Encoding images in Base64 is often done to make the landing page faster (small stuff <5kb, since you're saving a request.).

Knwoing JS and HTML/CSS is a huge benefit though when it comes to ripping landers.

Well I know to be careful with them so I just have my Windows 10 Defender quarantine the files. From there I can strip out the offending bits but there's always a risk in that so honestly I use Adplexity more for inspiration to build my own pages rather than just ripping and posting.

Yeah I completely understand why it's done as it must be frustrating to create such a successful asset and then have it ripped immediately. Thankfully since these are just landing pages they're not that hard to code and then at least you know they're safe. But yes my work will likely get ripped by someone else eventually but I'll probably get around to infecting and encoding mine too when I feel my visibility has increased.

I think there is someone on the forum that can create new landers for you. But as for cleaning them, generally it's hidden in the javascript files but some of them are actually encoded so that even the HTML is useless. So at that point your best bet is to download a PNG of the layout and hire it out or create it yourself. But you'll have to remember that within the javascript are some of the more aggressive actions like pop-ups, vibrations, sounds, etc.

The good thing is once you create landing page if you're familiar with HTML and CSS you can pretty much use that template for anything. Just requires modifying content and images. So even if you pay for the first to get created just picking up a basic understanding of page coding can net you many, many more landing pages.

That's my thought as well. I went through some of them last night and spent about an hour looking for ways to crack several of them. I got into a few but then figured if it's locked down this tight then who knows what else can be hiding so I went the route of just creating my own. At least I know whatever junk I put in there is my own. Not a developer by any means but I know enough to work my way through HTML and can Google any help I need with javascript.

HTML and CSS are static files so yes the JS is where it would be hidden. BUT within Adplexity it downloads an entire zip file of the page. Within there you can have hidden trojans so watch out! Plus some pages are purely generated using javascript so in those cases the HTML is useless and you're back to just using them as inspiration.

True true, that's the route I'm taking. But I still do appreciate Adplexity for giving me ideas of what's out there. But it's not as simple as download, changing links, and launching anymore. Like most everything else in affiliate marketing now it takes more effort than before!

Yeah, with the ones that use JS to generate the page (like show/hide divs, progress bars etc.). it's easier to just rec-ode if the JS is obfuscated, or use a tool like this and see what it gives you http://jsbeautifier.org/ Often you can comment out some of the JS, see what it looks like, and patch it together from inspect element.

Personally, I don't see much new stuff on AP, a lot of same old same old small tweaks here and there... So probably for scaling across geos, just make a few solid landers, and swap text from AP for your geo?
