Here's a doozie for our loyal NickyCakes fanbois. Rather than use LPLockdown for protecting my own landing pages, I figured I'd just use it to find and steal other affiliates' landing pages. This one's for Goobercamp.
Let's see how 'effective' LPLockdown is...
Step 1. Reverse IP on LPLockdown.com yields this domain: 11i.us, which was exposed on WF as a tracking url for LPLockdown.
Step 2.
A simple whois confirms that Mr. Koscianski owns the domain. No Privacy Guard on your own sites and you're trying to peddle that you have to guard everything?
Step 3. Let's plug 11i.us into Compete.com and check out the referring sites. Here's a couple: thispissesjustinoff.com & justinsabs.com
Step 4. Visit justinsabs.com to confirm that Cakes magic script is on there. It is. OMG a javascript redirect off the page to another site. I must have been cloaked?$*$(*$
Step 5. Turn off javascript. For firefox users
Enable Or Disable JavaScript - Firefox
Step 6. Revisit justinsabs.com. Oh look, no cloak.
Step 7. Cntrl-S to save the page. View source. Remove JS. Reupload. Page jacked kthxbye.
Let's take it a step further. Justinsabs.com must be a super dooper affiliate since he went through the trouble of cloaking his page with the "extremely effective" technology of Mr. Cakes. Let's see what else he's got running. Reverse IP justinsabs.com if you're interested, I won't out all his pages here.
Let's whois one of these at least. How about
Deeboo.com - Dee Boo - | Webmaster, SEO, Internet Marketing Community. Oh look, Registrant: Justin Dupre. Wasn't he the guy who wrote
Justin Dupre | Internet Marketing & Affiliate Marketing | Justin Dupre and proclaimed "The things Nick has included in this is ridiculous for any affiliate marketer." Must be one of those "satisfied customers" who can attest to how effective Cakes' service is...
Don't trash the industry for it's bullshit gurus selling things when you're doing the exact same thing yourself.
