Iframing section of affiliate link! WTF

I wouldn't say that he didn't know what he was doing...he got pretty close...he probably just didn't think about the 3rd party cookie blocking crap in IE. As others have said, it should work in other browsers...if you used the real offer page instead of the test copy he used. He just copied the offer page for testing, instead of registering 500 clicks to your offer page from the same ip, which would have probably raised so red flags.

Can I ask how you plan to avoid gettng banned/chargebacks from your affiliate program? It is against the offers TOS to hide the fine print about the offers like that.
I am not saying don't do it...but if you are gonna do it, I would love to know your plan to avoid getting caught or reported. :)
 


Well i dont intend on hiding the fine print, i just want to cover the shit they show at the top like "enter zipcode for $500" ... i want to write my own. Either way, we all know they are not going to get $500, its a scheme no matter what way you look at it.

I already told my affiliate manager what i am trying to do, just cant figure out how.

The guy who was doing the job said that targeting only the section i need targeted (zip and submit) requires access to edit the original advertisers page which obviously is impossible so he was looking for some work around.

There must be a way! heh
 
Well it doesn't show the real affiliate page! It shows a copy of it that he made on his domain! And I tell you that's probably why you don't get credit.
And you can't probably not even show just that part of the page on the real page like he does. Because he added a piece of html that made it possible, I wrote in my first post what it was.

I know a way that works... maybe.. I'm gonna try it out right now.
 
There was a way at one point, popups. It's not a third party cookie when the user "requests" the information directly in their browser. But with popup blockers, you have to get REAL creative to get those to be served now.

I'm all for you finding out how. If you do find a way, I would definitely appreciate feedback on the method either here or PMs. Thanks.

awesome! i hope there is some solution.

I know that he added the HTML that made the "sectioning" work on his own server, but it wouldnt work live without the html code in place on the advertisers site.

So if the solution you are working on now does not work, would the method the guy i hired work if it were for a different advertiser that didnt have all of that privacy policy cookie bullshit?
 
Alright so it works.. So what do you pay me for it? ^^ Kidding...
Here's the whole HTML + CSS

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>OMFG</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#pos { /* Place this DIV whereever you want. I just use absolute positioning in this demo but in real use you probably wont */
position: absolute;
top: 200px;
left: 200px;
}
#pos2 {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
#pos3 {
position: absolute;
left: -120px; /* (negative) Distance from left that the part you want to show on the page is */
top: -375px; /* (negative) Distance from top that the part you want to show on the page is */
}
#iframe,#pos2 {
height: 600px; /* The top (non negative) number above + the height of the part you want to show */
width: 560px; /* The left (non negative) number above + the height of the part you want to show */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<!-- This div, or more correct all this piece of code, place whereever you want -->
<div id="pos">
<div id="pos2">
<div id="pos3">
<iframe src="http://www.premiumproductsonline.com/rd_p?p=163947&c=12901-xbox360_emc_d56&a=CD3099" id="iframe" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" righmargin="0" leftmargin="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End of code -->

</body>
</html>

EDIT: Hmm I guess I should write a tutorial for this.

Ok...

i played around with it and removed the whole xbox part of it as well so its just a email and submit... next i need to figure out how to remove the 'step 2 button'.


One question, how do i put writing, graphica or whatever i feel like above the orange box? i am in dreamweaver and it wont let me type anything in above it?? Now sure how those DIV layer things work just yet but i would like to be able to have an open box above the email and submit thing so that i can put whatever i want. Any idea?
 
Code: 
#pos { 
position: absolute;
top: 200px;
left: 200px;
}

change to:

Code: 
#pos { 
}

Now you can move it around like an image or anything. And just design the site as you usually would.
 
i changed that code as you specified

but i am trying to ad a header at the top of the page saying TEST TEST TEST all across the top of the page so it would display above the email and submit box and it is not showing when i preview in my browser.

Any idea why?

I don't know how your code looks but.. Check here OMFG
 
ok,i think i MAY have figuredit out, but i had to change the URL in the iframe code to my direct affiliate link and i am having a few people testit to see if the funds register to my account. I hope so and will let you know!!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!
 
Your pagelooks great. Ifigured out how to put the writing at the top as i had b een asking about.

One thing.. if you look at it in IE, you can see a small amount of writing underneath the click here to continue button. How can i move the frame up higher to get rid of that? I tried everything, couldnt figure it out
 
Code: 
#pos3 {
position: absolute;
left: -120px; 
top: -375px; /* Lower (well higher as it's negative) this number by 10 or so, to -365 */
}
#iframe,#pos2 {
height: 600px; /* Lower this number by the same amount, to 590 then */
width: 560px;
}

So you would need to server special css just for IE browsers. Check this
centricle : css filters (css hacks) , or not.
Just use this HTML, put it after the first stylesheet:
Only the different css things has to be in it.
Code: 
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#pos3 {
top: -375px; /* Lower (well higher as it's negative) this number by 10 or so, to -365 */
}
#iframe,#pos2 {
height: 600px; /* Lower this number by the same amount, to 590 then */
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

Both netscape and opera shows it as firefox.
 
Ok. tried it with the original affliate link i posted and with the one you worked on and had people try to test it and yet again, its not registering any credits in my affiliate account.

Any else have any luck?
 
Ok.. i take that back, im getting the credits now... You did it, you rock, your amazing, i OWE YOU! When i get some $$ on the 15th, i will shoot you some to paypal for all of your help, i appreciate it more than you know!
 
This works, but it is still rather black hat and I cannot believe that your affiliate is ok with it. Because...you are not just replacing the offer, you are also disabling the follow up. There is no way for the user to actually continue the surveys because it only loads it in the iframe.

Again, I am not saying don't do it...but I am saying be careful because it isn't as innocent as you think. :)
