This is a very shady way of making money with coreg, so run at your own risk. It's completely compliant by GT. PPV networks don't approve of it and I just got banned recently on LI for it. Also it's not a prize angle 
The angle we are pushing here is a software download by saying their version of whatever software is out of date and they need to update it.
Target: frostwire
Heres the first image, it has an entry pop to increase CTR

Here is the LP itself

The info gathering page

The juicy parts the stats

I dont have the exact spend for it because of my account getting shut down, but this is an example of how to go at coreg without the prize angle. It's very shady.
Enjoy!
it doesnt seem that shady compared to prize giveaways at all, actually.
at least with this, you can actually supply them with the product at the end of the path at no real cost.
what was the reason LI banning you? i would think its because you're pushing "downloads" which are strictly against their rules, and not necessarily because of the shadiness, but im just speculating. did they give you a reason of why they banned you?
LI doesn't like deceptive stuff like that is the main issue....any thing that mimics the site your popping over they don't care for.....depending on how far you take it....its very bannable...(I've lost a few accounts over it)
Yep polarbacon hit it right on. Deceptive they claimed misleading cause no software download was available. But it was at the end of the path.
Thanks for sharing, haven't seen this before. to bad for the ban
They do not approve any download angles / themed lps.
Ran it few months ago, got banned as well.
Awesome example of coreg without using the prize angle! That's the important thing to take away from this
Prize LPs aren't shady if worded properly and backed out into an actual fulfillment partner.
This is freakin' awesome!
jroes, how was your thought process for coming up with this?
Just love the campaign idea! "Your software is outdate!"...!!! Genius
Damn... I wanna go LI and set up a new campaign now
keyword : stmforum.com
Angle: Your membership is expired... Please renew at this link..
Too bad STM doesnt have affiliate program :P
were you cloaking, or just using bait and switch? I've been doing shady stuff on there for awhile and haven't had any issues or been caught with the cloaker I made...
Yes, I would also like to know the same thing. Were you doing cloaking of any kind? Kinda got me scared there.
Haha oh man you could of pushed this idea a lot further. If you went for an official styled design I would expect the ROI to go up by another 50%.
Nice creativity though, this angle can be used for a tonne of other sites.
Hello? Been checking this thread for quite a while, still no answerzzz....
Yes cloaking.
Update your Internet Explorer to the brand new IE9!
And RON on PPV with cloaking :-)
I love the angle, but how would it work? What types of offers would your path have if you were doing the "update your software" angle?
Surely you wouldn't just send them to a path with a bunch of unrelated offers...
@mwhiz
You can get a custom path created with SP/GT, but you'd be surprised how well the normal path will convert with unrelated offers to the way your promoting. You can split test a custom path vs normal path and see.
OK, thanks stackman. I'm testing some coreg campaigns now and will be sure to split-test a custom path vs. the normal path.
I borrowed the campaign for "testing"
, I hope is Ok, and this is my setup:
First:

Second:

Third:

The juicy part, well... there is no juicy part, cos i only put $20 and end up with $8, so something is not working for me.
I add another $100 in LI and will ask my AM @ GT to optimize path, but i think that the path is not the reason for not converting.
what are your targets and LP ctr? on step 1? and then step 2?
What other software products have you guys tried?
I tried:
Chrome
Firefox
Virtual DJ
RealPlayer
Flashplayer
Flashplayer showed a little of a promise.
The rest tanked hard. Curious if we tried the same targets.
, so i'll have to study a little when i wake up (8am here and going to sleep).Godspeed, is it getting better?
ive tried this too with interstitials, but the CTR was insanely low (0.07), so not made any money either
Never tried interstitials.
Godspeed,
Your coreg is down?
jroes, whats your RPU recently with this method after without VZW?
inbetween 70 cents to 1.20. I wasnt effected much by the VZW drop.
VZW barely effected me.. I noticed actually higher RPUs after the whole VZW crisis. lol
