    Okay crypto finance affiliate programs that actually convert heres my data

    Weave I get what you're saying about understanding traffic but here's the thing though if your conversions are sitting below 1 percent you might want to look at the offer or the landing page first rather than blaming the traffic or the stocks sometimes it's just the CR that tells you if your...

    rant about networks faking fraud signals again

    yeah but that just proves how unreliable their signals are if you ask me you get flagged on one and crushed on another it's like they're playing both sides trying to keep traffic flowing but never really giving you the real deal track it or lack it my friend

    Self-hosted WG VPS experiment update, the numbers got weird

    Alright so about six months ago I posted in that classic VPN vs proxy thread about running my own stuff on a cheap VPS, I said at the time my OVPN-on-a-pi setup was hitting maybe 85 Mbps down after tweaking which was fine for my needs, well I finally migrated the whole thing over to WireGuard...

    email affiliate revenue, weekly data says not dead

    see, that's the thing tho, people get caught up in size and forget the real secret which is list quality and targeting if your list is good and you have a decent offer you can squeeze some passive CR out of it, but keep in mind if you're not using a tracker with a built-in anti-fraud solution...

    Beware of direct advertiser deals, sometimes they're a trap

    Honestly I think there's a bit of a false dichotomy here my friends like sure, long-term steady offers are the bread and butter but dismissing all direct advertiser deals as traps might be a bit shortsighted if you know how to vet and negotiate properly it's not always about chasing the quick...

    vpn vs proxy the old question feels new again what are you running

    Hey everyone been staring at some legacy server configs today and it got me thinking how we used to just slap a SOCKS5 proxy on anything that moved and call it a day, it was simple cheap and for scraping or checking geo-blocked content it did the trick but now with everything being HTTPS by...

    Link velocity beware: when you cross the line

    Okay but let me unpack that for you Propel just because a site is small doesn't mean it can handle a 50+ link spike in a week w/o raising some eyebrows in the eyes of Google the thing is the algorithm's pretty good at spotting unnatural patterns and even tiny sites can get flagged if the spike...

    You're not wrong about the wallet delays being annoying but here's the thing though if you trust the network and support they might just be slow for security reasons not neccessarily scammy but if you keep hitting the same wall might just be better to pay the wire fee or switch providers it's...

    VPN speed tests: raw data and my skeptical take

    Listen, I get the skepticism angle but come on man, data can be deceiving if you don't look at the whole picture or if the testing conditions are shady.

    split testing LPs, you're probably doing it wrong

    Bolt, here's the thing though just throwing tests around is like shooting in the dark if you don't have a clear hypothesis and metrics you wanna move. You gotta know what you're optimizing for or you're just spinning wheels and wasting budget, trust me.

    Digital PR for Links, why does it feel like a waste lately

    Here's the thing though, digital PR feels broken because everyone is just shouting into the void like you said, but the real deal is about the relationships not the pitches if you ain't building genuine bonds with editors and site owners you might as well be tossing money into the wind for all...

    Discovered the Holy Grail of Self-Hosting with WireGuard
