I attempted to repost this three times, each time something went wrong... anyway, I was going to say go out and get liveHTTPHeaders, and then figure out what the zip/email submit forms sends in the POST request. Duplicate it with your own form, and you'll see a better conv. rate.

When you load a page, refresh, anything that requires a page load the page sends out headers to the browser, the headers contain information like header codes - ex. 404 = Not found, 301 = Permanent Redirect, 200 = Success
It also sends out other information, like the information that is being sent when someone presses the submit button on a form. He is suggesting that you get the headers, with the information that is being sent from the affiliates form, once you figure out what is being sent you could, in theory make your own HTML form on your own site, on your own page, completely void of the affiliates page and have it submit/post to the affiliate.
Make sense?

tob,
You sparked my curiosity with the whole liveHTTPheaders, after looking at the headers for a simple zip offer I run im truly wondering if this is possible, as far as I can tell they are simply setting cookies for what almost looks like a PHP $_GET string... It looks like this..
Set-Cookie: FYC=sourceID=3055&keywords=&affiliateID=147.XXXXX&userIP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXXpageURL=(Current Page URL)&userAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3&cookieId=12872295; expires=Fri, 13-Apr-2007 09:06:15 GMT; path=/
So I in reality, I could make a page/form that would submit the cookie like the following correct?
Originally I couldnt find where it was passing the zip, but it finally did... the string where it passed the zip is in a long string that starts with _VIEWSTATE= followed by a shitload of random numbers then finally near the end has the zip I entered and 2 other variables..

Hmmm... well, that's kinda what I was thinking. Butttt.... I think that might be the affiliate cookie, you are going to want to get through all the affiliate shit and then once you're on the zip/email submit page, start using the header tool.
You can't create cookies for other domains, so I can't mimic a cookie planted by cookies.com if I am running script on thejar.com, there is probably a term for this, but it is basically cross-domain cookies, and I'm 98% it's not possible.
Keep trying wo0t wo0t.

tob, that makes sense, im not sure how you would or could get around this. Im sure at this point its something that affiliate networks have thought of to stop people like us from running offers without using the publishers pages/code
I know thats originally what LemonAden wanted but the last few posts have taken it a step further to the point where we have talked about completely phasing out the affiliates site until the user gets to the 2nd step.
If that requires a cookie which im sure it does it still means were SOL

Yeah.. from what i am reading it looks like the only way we can do this is with Juicify's method. Its working for me.
My problem with this is that when they submit... wether it be zip, or email, the next frame is messed up so they cant fill in the other "non required" info. And as a few of you said, if the advertisers see ZERO conversions, they will not pay me the funds.
What would be a GREAT thing would be if there were some php code,something, anything that we could use to force a new page (the page that would open up in the iframe after they hit submit) to pop up over the whole first page. That way,they can fill in the things they want to,or pass. That way there will at lease be SOME conversions and better looking on our end.
any ideas?
