    Offshore company - anonymous and/or with solid protection

    Offshore comes up once in a while here, but mostly around taxes. I'm not so much worried about taxes, although legal tax avoidance is a nice side benefit I guess. I'm interested in anonymity or at least massive asset/legal/privacy protection. I've had my run-ins with the law and I don't ever...

    AltusHost - anyone heard of or is using?

    AltusHost.com I like that they run LiteSpeed instead of Apache as web server, prices for budget-shared are fantastic (starts at $15/YEAR) and they are under Belize law, servers in Netherlands, i.e. offshore host. They even have this page: http://warezhost.net/ On the other hand, searching for...

    Amazon store software?

    One of my sites has an Amazon store section that currently runs a so-called "aStore". It's a customizable iframe that serves a shopping cart system directly from Amazon. Easy, but completely SEO-hostile as search engines don't read iframes. I'd like to replace it with something that works like...

    How to best search Wickedfire?

    Okay, I'm not exactly a newbie, but this sounds much like a newbie question. I like to search before I post because most questions have already been asked and answered 1000 times. Reading an old post is way faster than writing a new one and then waiting for others to reply. Problem:Search...

    Sniff connections (call home) from server?

    I have some software installed on my LAMP-based host that I'm worried about that it might "phone home". Is there a way to intercept connections my server initiates to the outside? I'm not concerned about normal server traffic, where my server simply responds to incoming requests, only those...

    Track PPV sources on Tracking202?

    I have this setup: LP popped by PPV network -> pop logged by Prosper202 via embedded JS -> click links to P202 -> logs and redirects to offer. Everything's fine, I see clickthroughs, targeted URLs etc. Now I want to run the same campaign on another PPV network and realized I wouldn't be able to...

    How to get rid of white bottom margin on PPV lander

    I'm setting up an extremely simple PPV landing page, which will pop at 750*550. Filled with a 550px tall image, so it should just exactly fill the open window. But for some reason Safari and FF add a thin white margin underneath the picture, which triggers scroll bars. I already canceled out the...

    Tracking202 staff doesn't know URL shorteners

    Yeah, hard to believe, but see for yourself: Does prosper tracking link still work if I shorten it using Tinyurl/Bitly? And these are the guys running tech support for a product like Prosper202!

    Ad:tech impressions?

    I checked out the hall yesterday (only have exhibit hall pass), but was a bit underwhelmed. Got to talk to a few network reps and some other folks but didn't learn anything groundbreaking new. Free skateboard decks handed out, but I don't skate so that doesn't wow me. Lot's of hard-sells about...

    Tool to prune PPV URLs?

    The length of URLs to be used in most PPV networks is limited to 40 or 50 characters. If you want to target specific pages on a large site, this can be limiting: example.com/archive/2009/11/?storyId=123456 The 40 character limit cuts this to: example.com/archive/2009/11/?storyId=123 To get the...

    Malware warning on WickedFire

    I just went to WF and got this: Ran a scan with ClamXav, couldn't find any adware on my computer. And AFAIK there isn't really any adware for Macs anyway. How could this happen? Also, I haven't gotten this warning on other sites and have been surfing around all morning. Why would I get a...

    Farticle / News-style landing page template?

    I'm looking for farticles landing page templates (mimic media outlets like newspapers or TV stations), kinda like: That ^ design isn't the best, but gives you an idea. They are typically PHP with features like geo-targeting, timers etc. I know I could just copy someone's HTML and fiddle with...

    Newspaper / TV station LP templates?

    I often see landing pages designed to mimic media outlets like newspapers. Many seem to come from the same few templates. Does anyone know where I can find those? I know I could just copy the HTML, but some are PHP with features like geo-targeting and I'd like to have the full source. Plus...

    Search multiple domains?

    I have a list of a few hundred potential domains I'd be interested in. It's just various keywords combined in various ways + a ".com". I want to see which ones are still available. Where can I do a search across all of these domains at once? Most places I found only allow to look up 10 at a...

    Online Dating Guide offers?

    For some time, I've promoted DD's "Meet Women Online", a CD series around, guess what, online dating. It was a great fit for one of my sites and had decent conversions. But now that they moved to CJ, they're no longer offering it for affiliates. I looked around the other usual suspects...
