How to get alerted INSTANTLY when google flags one of your LP domains (27)

---

Many of us know the feeling... waking up in the morning to see red across all campaigns and no conversions for 24 hours.



What happened? Did the offer get pulled? Did our landing page go down?







Nope, it turns out Google flagged it and now every visitor is seeing this scary red message. Maybe we spent $100s on wasted traffic, sending visitors to a page that will never convert .

It seems like google is clamping down more and more on pops and flagging pages that would have been fine just a few months ago. It can even flag your domains in a matter of days if you get unlucky.

We can't spend all day hitting F5 to check out pages are still up though, we need to spend our time optimising our campaigns and testing offers. So how can we solve this problem?

Well, this exact thing happened to me recently so this weekend I whipped up some software that will hit a virtual F5 for me . It checks all my domains every single minute 24 hours a day and sends me an email and text message alert if one of them has been flagged by google so I can quickly redirect all traffic to a clean domain and avoid losing money.

Here is what a typical SMS alert looks like:



It is currently working great for me so I thought I would open it up to a small group of STM members for free to help me beta test it further. Think of it as my way of saying thank you to the STM community for creating such a great resource .

It's free for now, but I can only support a limited number of users for free so be quick if you are interested!

You can register on this google form:

If there is a lot of interest I might consider making a paid version with a UI and some advanced feature such as hot domain standby with automatic failover in your tracker so you never lose any traffic.

Please feel free to reply here or PM me if you have any further questions.

Whisper

This is awesome! Thanks for doing this.

Big problem for a lot of people

We built a similar tool in house, but it requires you to setup the google api key and uptime robot - so definitely not as slick as OP's service offering

Awesome contribution Whisper!

---

Wow this is really cool! Thanks!

Thanks Whisper, just tried the beta tool and I received a flag via text message for one of my domains. Definitely a great tool to have, will save many folks lots of cash by getting immediate notification when one of your sites gets flagged by Google. Great contribution!

---

I used a service before Flagr.me which sent you an alert when your domain was flagged however I learned something very quickly.... The more you check, the faster your domain gets banned.

For example I was running an offer where the domains lasted 20-30hrs before getting banned, once I turned on Flagr.me service the domains lasted 1-4 hours tops.

Not sure the reasoning behind all of it, but something to keep in mind.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! I cannot even get my tracking down and here you guys are doing these amazing things like this. Just amazing.

Wow Whisper! I have endless admiration for people that can come up with technical solutions like these at will. And thanks for opening up this opportunity to STM members!

You just built an awesome spy tool

---

iAmAttila maybe, but I don't think so. People only need to enter their domains not the entire URL, unless you can guess the full URL of landers from that it's not particularly useful.

---

Hmm. Most likely this was coincidence. Since almost all browsers check any URLs they are visiting, your one request per minute will be lost in the noise of the thousands of visits you are sending to your landing site. I can't see how checking the API would affect Google's awareness of the site in any significant way, unless you aren't sending much traffic to it.

---

I also thought that might be the case but I spoke to someone who build such a tool for private use - they queried a full database from Google, not just one domain, and then looked if certain domains were already included, aka blacklisted.

So Google wouldn't know which domain you are looking for.

If, however, the tool queries a single domain, there's probably some truth to it, It could be the case that too many requests makes Google suspricious and it sends its bots to crawl the domain.

I never looked into it so I don't know for sure how many ways you can work with the API there. Just thought I'd mention it in case others are thinking about this exact situation you brought up.

---

I use https://trackly.io/ for the same. Has hourly and daily notifications though.

---

Yes, there are basically two different methods to use the Safe Browsing API, the Lookup API and the Update API.
With the Lookup API you send a request with the URL you want to check so Google knows exactly the domain and how frequently you check for it.
Then there is the Update API, there you download a list to check locally.
That way Google doesn´t know what domain your were looking for.
Easier to run is the Lookup API, safer to run is the Update API.

---

Cool idea, nice use of your programming skills!

---

This doesn't work. My domain got flagged and I never received the notification.

---

Thien425 - please PM me. I had a couple of people sign up with invalid phone numbers, one of those may have been you

Binom automatically check google safe browsing on lander's and tracking domains every 10 mins. Now we developing auto-change domains and notifications.

---

Hey guys, just wanted to follow up since the thread is getting popular Trackerry.com not only checks GSB, Virustotal and Adblock but actually replaces LP domains instantly keeping your adflow stable http://prntscr.com/k5omrn

---

If you like codding you can do the same king of check and notification with the combo virustotalapi + pushcrew

WoW
Amazing tool

---

Hi, how is the development of the auto change and notifications going?

---

Pretty good, thanks, planning to release it in 4-6 weeks

---

Hi there,

Great thanks for this post guys, i just want to buy a script which automatically change urls. This will make my life much easier and more focus will be on campaigns rather than changing money page links in 2-3 hours.

For Example: I put 10 urls in that script and if 1st one goes malicious it should auto change to second one and so on.

I am using cloudflare to protect attacks but it's not working for me. Links getting flagged in firefox much more quicker as compared to chrome or any other browser.

If anything similar to this, Please PM.

I am in big need for this.

Regards
Pankaj

Never had a domain flag what are you guys doing to get your domains flagged? Running aggressive landers doesn't seem to be a reason to get flagged.

---

How much volume? What traffic type? From what websites? To what offers?

All those matter when it comes to domain flagging.
