Community Hacking – 96 Baiting Strategies You Can Employ

This was a near repeat of the session from last year. This is a classic example of marketing hype. They didn’t go over 96 Link Baiting strategies. How did they come up with 96? Well, there are 12 types of links and eight types of link bait. 12 x 8 = 96. Yeah, I know, I thought it was lame too. Basically they covered only 8 strategies, and sadly, not all 8 were not worthy of covering.

“Link Bait” isn’t without controversy. If you aren’t familiar with the term,

• It is always a good idea to enable comments as readers comments add value to your site and make your site more interesting. You should only disable comments when comments are inappropriate. JW: And this was the only decent piece of advice given. I highly advise using the Spam Karma plugin for WordPress. It has greatly reduced the amount of Spam comments to my Blogs.

• Focused a lot on Digg and how you need a strong network of “friends” or “buddies” to “Digg” your stories.JW: Things are more complex than that now. That may have been easy to do a year ago, but not today. I will have more information in the Social Media write-up.

I have recently created new code for adsense under image, due to this, tested for 1 month November/ December time I just recieved a cheque from google for 263.44 which is a nice help after xmas and the new year. The code itself will be coming on here soon, however you need to fake the referrer which is easily done on your site and have a ctr of less than 1 % which again is very easy. Keep coming back to see when I release this.

his is my detailed report on www.craigslistemailer.com (aff-link). Im currently making $150/day with this method on average. I started with this in the beginning of January and since my first test already made me some money, i decided to go for it. This was my first post back then.

It seems Craigslistemailer is not very well known yet and it should stay this way. If this gets too saturated, it wont work anymore. I would not tell you about this, if i wasnt sure that i can trust you guys on this.
So use it but dont tell everyone.

What is Craigslistemailer

I guess, everybody knows CL. If not, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist

Craigslist has lots and lots of users and ads – there are hundreds of thousands ads posted everyday. And most of them either want to give away something or are looking to get something. Now if you can fulfill the desire of the adposter with one of your affiliate offers, you gonna make money.

With Craigslistemailer you can super-target your audience, because you can filter ads that match a certain keyword or are in a certain category and then write all those people an email which fulfills their desire. The cool thing: Craigslistemailer does both the searching for ads and the sending of emails. You dont have to bother about mass sending of mails, because Craigslistemailer will do that for you.

Craigslistemailer will you give 200 credits free when you sign up, that means you can send 200 e-mails for free. After that you have to buy Credits, prices ranging between $0.007 and $0.049 per credit. If you sign up under my aff-link at www.craigslistemailer.com, youll get an extra 100 credits after the signup process.

Image Stuffing Script Javascript Exploit:

The script takes ANY request for . and checks to see if its extension is PNG, png, JPG, JPEG, jpg, jpeg, gif, or GIF. If so, it sends the request to imagehandler.php which loads the image data off the server.

It then embeds in the http header an exploit that launches a hidden javascript iframe that loads your affilate url invisibly on the page.

If the image is not found, it sends the request to 404.php – which is a custom 404 page that you can stuff the hell out of using CSG.

INSTALLATION
1) Extract this file and upload it to a dedicated directory on your webserver.

2) Edit the imagehandler.php file to change the $url= variable on the first line from http://www.myaffiliatelink.com to the affiliate link you want to stuff.
Code:

// USER CUSTOMIZATION [Yes, you]
// Change this URL to be your affiliate link.
$url=”http://www.myaffiliateurl.com”;

This does not necessarily have to be a direct link, it could go to another page on one of your servers that spawns even more iframes and stuffs 50 cookies, or employs a more advanced rotation method/stuffing limit.

3) Edit .htaccess to point to the path to the script on your server. This path is from the domain. Ie: www.image-bucket.com/images would have a path of /images/imagehandler.php
Code:

/PATH/TO/FILE/imagehandler.php?img=%{REQUEST_FILENAME} [QSA,L]

4) Change 404.php to be what you want your missing image page to look like.

USAGE
Well, be creative here. Have a low rez image or an edited porn pic that people want to click on to expand. Put it up on craigslist or a pic forum to have people view your image. There’s even more you can do if you edit the system to be more advanced, but I’m not giving out all my plans just yet!

Your URLs will be http://www.yourdomain.com/scriptdirectory/image.ext
There’s no need to ever touch it again unless you want to change your embedded iframe URL, any image you upload to that directory will be automatically stuffed.

Future plans
It needs to rotate affiliates, it needs to impose limits, it needs keyword sensitivity, it needs MUCH more intelligence, it needs to be coded better. Don’t go crazy with this. It’s just the most basic form this technique can be in.

Just recently I figured a few ways of installing an exe for a campaign, like a click per access campaign and then doing a drive-by install and getting paid for that person installing your exe…. well ..

Ive figured it out, How it works is via local exploits, that I found on Milworm, like the old dcom exploits it was able for people to backdoor a user and then install an exe onto thier system.. simular to my method. I have tried the pdf exploit, which you can set using usescape chars to your exe link which will install silently on someones machine.. but that will bound to be patched soon adobe are pretty much on the ball with security updates unless I find another flaw in thier code.

Another remote exe or Drive-by install would be using php scripts with iframes in iframes ect.. well it is possible via certain scripts. The script I managed to get hold of are hard to find from some Russian Hackers using these to backdoor and Phish a system. Since exploits has been patched most didnt work, or failed due to cross browsers.. so I managed to modify the code and work on my own script, all is working well, however I need more of a bulletproof code to secure the script and its method.

I will keep this post updated.

Technique description: Single Keyword Sniping means creating an entire website with the purpose of ranking number one in Google for only one particular keyword.

The aim of the technique is to create small websites that bring you a completely whitehat autopilot income from advertising without having to create new content for the websites or promote them in any way. These are simply set-and-forget income streams.

Estimated average income: 100-500$ per month per website. You should start with a minimum batch of 10 websites which will lead you to an estimative income of 1000-5000$ per month. Actual figures depend on the type of keywords you decide to pursue, I have had a single keyword sniping website earning me well over 1000$ per month, but I do not bother creating websites that earn me less than 100$ per month.

Estimative time frame: You will achieve success somewhere between 2 weeks and several months, depending on the keyword you chose, sandbox issues, use of aged or new domains, your potential for building links, etc… This is a long-term whitehat income method.

Starting costs involved:

- Poor man version: No starting costs required, you will build your sites on free blogger platform(blogspot.com, blogs, etc.) and you will build all your links by hand.

- Struggling entrepreneur version: 10$ for a domain (per year, or even less if you go for an info domain) and 5$ per month for a small plan hosting. You will build your websites on general sub-domains site1.mydomain.com, site2.mydomain.com, site3.mydomain.com, site4.mydomain.com etc…

- Normal entrepreneur version: 100$ for ten domains and a 10$ per month hosting should be enough.

- Smart entrepreneur version: 100$ for ten domains, a 10$ per month hosting, and a couple hundreds of $ for outsourcing work and buying links.

The method consist of 3 steps:

1. Keyword research – choosing your keyword

2. Website creation (including on page seo and monetization)

3. Link building

1. Keyword research

The advantage of single keyword sniping over traditional long tail keyword theory is that while your competitors usually optimize one page for a certain long tail keyword, you optimize your entire website, therefore having a huge advantage in terms of links, trust rank and authority. It is much easier to rank an entire website for a particular long tail keyword than to rank a page.

That being said, the keyword you choose to optimize for should have 3 important characteristics:

a)-a nice amount of searches per month
b)-low competition
c)-potential for monetization

a) A nice amount of searches per month

In my opinion, the best tool that estimates the monthly number of searches for a given keyword is this one (it’s free):

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

When analyzing your results, under the “match type” field you need to choose the “exact match” option. For keyword sniping, this reflects the best the amount of visitors you should expect (for an explanation of the meaning of the match type, please see this link https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6324&ctx=tltp)

In addition to the number of searches provided by the keyword tool, you should expect 30% more visitors, based on my statistics. These will come from various long tails, misspells, keyword tool inaccuracy, etc…

A decent volume of monthly traffic is anything between 2000 and 20 000 searches per month for a keyword sniping website.

b) Low competition

I would love to tell you that in order to asses your competition all you have to do is search your keyword in Google in commas, find the number of competing pages, and draw conclusion from there, but, unfortunately, this is a flawed concept. It does not matter whether there are 100 000 pages or 1 million competing for a particular keyword, it matters the quality of these competitors. When assessing your competition, you should look only at the top 3 results. Since your purpose is getting the number one position, all you need to do is to create a better site that the one found at the top for that particular keyword, and you will bypass all the other millions of competing pages found behind.

This is the raw click distribution in serps:

Number 1 – 58.36%
Number 2 – 13.45%
Number 3 – 9.82%
Number 4 – 4.00%
Number 5 – 4.73%
Number 6 – 3.27%
Number 7 – 0.36%
Number 8 – 2.91%
Number 9 – 1.45%
Number 10 – 2.55%

As you can see, if you can not achieve tops position, you should not even bother creating the website. Actually I would say that if you can’t achieve the number one position, due to the fact that is occupied by an authority website in that niche, you should not start building a website around that particular keyword. The keyword sniping philosophy is created around gaining the number one position and benefiting from the flow of traffic.

There are advanced seo tools that can analyze your competition backlinks- like seo elite- but there are also free firefox plugins that can do the job for free. Two of such plugin are “seo for firefox” and “seo quake”. You can download them for free here:

http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html

http://ff.seoquake.com/

These plugins will instantly show the number of pages, links, page rank, age of the domain, etc… of your competitors in search with a simple click.

As a rule of thumb, you should avoid competing against websites that have a pr bigger than 4, and do not even think to compete against sites that have site links under them in serps. This means in most of the cases that they are already established in that niche and it will take a while before you can overcome them. The roi might not compensate for the effort.

c) Potential for monetization

Most of the keyword sniping philosophy is based on gaining quality traffic from search engines and monetizing it with adsense or other affiliates products. When you choose your keyword, you should ideally aim for a high paying adsense niche, or a niche that has plenty of other streams of monetization – cpa offers, affiliate products, etc… It is not worth the effort to go for the classic 1 cent adsense clicks niches with this strategy – like celebrities, music, movies, etc…

You should also avoid tech savvy niches and go for non tech savvy niches. Savvy users do not click ads- usually the ctr in adsense in under 2-3%, while with non savvy users you can get ctr as high as 10-20% regularly. Do not think line an entrepreneur, think like a normal Joe when brainstorming your niches.

You can see approximately the value of your clicks in adsense by using the above mentioned Google keyword tool and selecting the “show average cpc” option. You will get somewhere between 20%-40% of the value mentioned there.

Once you have decided upon a keyword, and you have analyzed the traffic and your competition, it is time to create your website and start optimize it. If you are new, and never done any kind of seo before, i think you should start with some easy keywords, nothing that have much competition. This will allow you to conquer these positions easily, and you will gain confidence for more competitive keywords later on. Keyword sniping is an excellent way to learn the ropes of keyword, research, content creation, and link building, even if you are a total newbie.

It is also highly recommended that you start to build around 5-10 websites at once. Building a website, then waiting for several weeks or months to gain results, and then starting to build the second one is not an efficient way of doing things. You ll probably waste a year before having 10 websites in serps already bringing you cash using the one-after-the-other option, when you can have them in less than 2 months if you choose the bulk strategy.

Also, having a larger number of websites is also a way to protect you in case one of your keyword sniping websites do not perform as expected, gets sandboxed, or your competitions proves to be more competitive than you expected. By having 5-10 such websites, you diversify your income streams, and even if one of your website does not perform well at a certain moment, you can rely on the income coming from your other websites.

2) Building your website

- Domain name selection

If you do not have money to invest in buying domains and a hosting, then you could use the free blogger alternative. Blogger is a service offered by Google that allows you to create unlimited blogs, free of charge, and – unlike other similar alternatives- you can monetize the blogs and keep all 100% of the revenue produced. Your subdomain will look something like: chosenname.blogspot.com.

If you chose to opt for a domain, keep in mind that serps are not influenced by the top level domain you choose, and there is no difference between a subdomain and a domain.

The advantage of having your own domain is – among others- that you can sell it later down the road, for a nice chunk of money, especially if your keyword sniping website is bringing you a nice recurring income.

Your domain or subdomain should contain the keyword you try to optimize for, this is a must. The presence of the keywords in the domain name is a crucial factor in getting good positions, especially for long tail keywords.

You should also pay attention at keyword density in title. Something like keyword.com is more valuable than keywordblablabla.com.

-Website creation

The easiest way of creating your keyword sniping websites is using the wordpress platform.

Ideally, your website should consist of 5-10 articles, 600 words long, and having a keyword density of 2-3%. All the content on your blog should be original, so no scraped or auto generated content. This will help you with avoiding sandbox, getting ranked, and establishing a whitehat income- no fear of getting banned from adsense or search engines.

Every one of your articles should link back to your main page using the keyword you target as an anchor text. This link back should preferably be found in the introductory paragraph – whenever someone scrapes your content – or the rss feed – automatically it will create a backlink to you.

Other than that, the blog should have a basic on site seo optimization – se friendly permalinks, avoiding duplicate content, etc…

(If you have never done basic seo on a wordpress blog, check this article for a general idea, or ask for help in the forum http://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/)

Getting double listings in Google:

A double listing appears in most of the cases when two pages of the same website rank on the first page of Google for a given particular keyword.

Google serps therefore merge those two pages, upping the lower page at the level of your upper page, and offering you more exposure with a double listing.

Double listing allows you to fill 2 positions with your website for a particular keyword, and obviously, is a huge advantage in terms of getting traffic.

In order to benefit from this, you should also create an article on your website that has the title exactly the keyword your optimizing from. If your domain is keyword.com, you should obtain the second listing with the article keyword.com/keyword.html Make sure to interlink those two pages, keyword.com linking back to keyword.com/keyword.html with the anchor text required and vice versa. Once you will send some backlinks to these pages, you will get a double listing.

3) Getting backlinks

This is the most important part that can influence your success. Whoever gets the most quality targeted links, conquer the serps, there is no doubt about that.

But first, several aspect regarding the quality and type of backlinks you need.

-You aim for backlinks that have your targeted keyword as the anchor text. However, variations of the anchor text is an important issue, getting plenty of links with the same anchor text is called Google bombing and can result in your website being sandboxed or penalized.

If your targeted keyword consists of 3 words, “word1 word2 word3″ your anchor text variations should look like “word 1 word 2″, then “word 2 word 3″ and then ” word 1 word 3″, and most of the links, obviously “word 1 word 2 word 3″.

If your targeted keyword consists of only 2 words, then you need to vary your anchor text by adding other related words, like “word 1 word 2 blablabla” or “blablabla word 1 word 2″.

- An influx of low quality backlinks over a short period of time – several hundred links in a matter of days is detrimental to your optimization, and usually leads to a penalty if you are using them on a new domain. Make sure to build links at a steady pace, and in the beginning try to throw in several authority links to avoid getting sandboxed.

- Between site wide and single page links, try to opt for single page links, they are more valuable.

- A backlink coming from a niche related website is far more valuable than a backlink coming from an unrelated website, even if it has a pr of 0.

- You should focus also on building deeplinks, not only home page links. A good percent is 80% home page links, 20% deeplinks.

Building links:

Specific details for link building are to be discussed in the forums, i will just list some general guidelines. I usually classify links according to their quality in two main category:

Level 0 Backlinks: pr 0 links, usually placed on newly created pages, not much of link juice. You should get hundred of such links to make a difference, but they do have their role. Example of sources for level 0 backlinks:

- Social bookmarking. You can automate building these kinds of links with the following websites – for free.

http://www.onlywire.com

http://www.socialposter.com

- Forum posting links – please check the forum for the invisible backlinks trick and for do follow forums

- Blog commenting on do follow blogs

- Directory submission – become obsolete later, but if you do not have any other source of links, you could give it a try. Here is a good list of directories sorted according to their page rank: addurl.nu

- Article Marketing : can be done manually or automated. More tips about this will be posted in the forum.

- Blog farming and parasite hosting links

Level 1 Backlinks: These are usually high quality links, high page rank links, that have a nice pr juice and can influence your serps significantly.

- Link exchange. When done properly, they could be a gold mine, since you can decide on what anchor text you want, and you will have your backlink placed wherever you want, usually on a related page. Exchanging links with a related website can be done two ways. Exchanging links with a non related website should be done three ways or more, in order to avoid detection.

- Buying links. Try to avoid classic networks such as text links ads or tnx.net as Google seems to detect and penalize them. Use direct links brokers, found in webmasters forums.

- Miscellaneous Links. Other innovative way of getting high pr links, such as the fake identity exploit posted in the blog previously

Okay guys, this strategy is pretty cool. It’s not for all because it involves online casino’s and gambling (with good odds mind you). I have personally made over 15k with this in a matter of a few months, and yes I did get paid, but I have not used this method for a while, as I feel it is very short term, and in no way is gonna help your business grow other than making a bit of start up cash. Also I just wanna say I am not responsible for any loss or whatever because of it, just trying to help, and DON’T GET GREEDY with it either!

Alright here goes, btw it’s VERY SIMPLE, and you might be thinking it’s to good/easy to be true, but it works and thats from my personal experience!

1. Sign up to online casino’s. Sign up to a bunch of them, maybe not all at once because some are owned by the same people and they may catch on to you “stealing” from them.

2. Make sure you check out the bonus conditions on each casino, some casino’s will not release bonus until it is wager X amount of times. And some will not release a bonus EVER if it’s wagered solely on table games ie: Roulette.

3. Now before you make a deposit, check and see if you can go into roulette and the options will let you turn off animations or whatever so you basically get number after number after number in seconds. Confirm that it does, even if you have to use play money or whatever, just make sure it does, or this system will really suck and take forever!

4. Make a small deposit. I dunno, when I first did it I put in $250 but I don’t think I woulda needed that much to get it going, but in the beginning I wasn’t sure if it would work. I would say probably 100 bucks will do, but no guarantees.

5. Now you go into roulette and turn of animations. Find out what key on your keyboard makes it spin without having to click, that will make this alot better as well. Now, hold down whatever button that was and watch the numbers. You will see that it is pretty random right, wrong!

6. You will notice that it will go sometimes like 7 times or so, (sometimes more depending on casino’s) on the same color. Now once you find out what the average number of times it hits a color is, and the higher you can find the better, you will set out to bet the opposite after that certain number, and no sooner or you will get burnt!

7. Now you simply hold down the spin button and wait for that color to appear how ever many times you discovered is the most (to an extent). After it hits, bet on the other. Now if it doesnt hit, double your bet until it does, but cap yourself with what you can afford and do not chase it forever as sometimes you will find it does go for A LOT OF THE SAME COLOR!

EXAMPLE:
Okay, so lets say black has hit 8 times and that is the number of times that I chose to bet on. I bet on red say $5. If red hits YAY! you just made $5. Now say it misses, you simply bet $10 on red, and that way when it hits your gonna make your 5 bucks. Now if I was betting only $5 bucks to win $5 I would cap my chase at probably $40, and when I was bet$40 I would also cover the zero, or double zero whatever with 5 bucks each. Now I know this might sound retarded, because your not gonna make any money that way, but beleive me, if you do this you will be better off in the long run, because when the zero hits and your in for 80 bucks or whatever, it really sucks cuz thats your cap and you gotta rebuild. If it doesnt hit, oh well, don’t chase it forever, you will find your better off to just restart the system rather than chase it with high bets, because it seems that the higher your bet the more it will avoid your number.

Okay, everyone get it? Very simple hey! Now i recommend not going over like $150 bucks per day on every casino (there are DOZENS so dont worry) and I wouldn’t let your bankroll get to high before cashing out, as they may get suspicious and not pay you or something stupid. I have never been banned or anything, but I NEVER GOT GREEDY either. I just won a 100 a day on a few and then cashed when they hit 700 or so and never went back. Some i let go higher, but not usually!

Please, don’t try to make this your business, eventually you will probably get burnt. Just make some quick cash with it and bail out. Then put that into something useful like cpa marketing or hookers or something LOL.

If anyone has any questions or doesn’t really understand just let me know and I will do my best to help you. I hope I didn’t miss anything! Also if your a mad gambler who chases losses to the end I recommend you STAY AWAY from this method. This is for those who could use a few extra bucks, and are having a hard time getting it. Hope this helps someone!

And that’s what your gonna do, and then BOOK IT!

It seems people have thier own methods, myself I like to do lots of cookie stuffing Pay Per click campaigns, however ive alot of friends who likes to do thier own cpa methods.
Ive made a few scripts that invite people to complete offers regarding Click per access , however its not for everyone, like getting accepted into things like neverblue can be a feat on its own. Some people make alot more than pay per click using click per access
but thats entirely your call..

Ok so this is my new site, Ive been doing this awhile now and started to make money many years ago. However due to recent upgrades and pieces of code Ive started this blog to ensure the people that want to learn how to make money online that they can.

First of all, this is my 1st post so excuse my grammer, I am a fast typist so excuse all the mistakes I make in the future.

So i started with making code with cookie stuffing.. firstly I stumbled upon doing this maybe 10 years ago now.. how I started was making flash banners for older websites that I owned, and thought of implementing hidden code in the banner to get users cookies, stats and recent activity. Now at the time this was very very new… never heard of, so I was basically gathering info on users via a flash animation.

Nowadays we can do alot more, fake referrers, block ip’s basically anything in flash/swf file cookie stuffing was born.

Si
