    VPN setup for China? My traffic keeps getting stranded at the great firewall

    VPN in China is a circus and anyone pretending there's a real fix is either lying or just chasing shadows honestly the only real way is to get creative with proxy chains or even better work around it by using less obvious methods but if you're still clinging to VPNs expecting them to be your...

    Facebook keeps rejecting my ads for no reason its driving me insane

    Nah I disagree, Google is not the holy grail here, their policies are just as strict if you know where to look and the CPCs are way higher for health offers so ROI gets cap quick. Facebook is a pain but if you crack the code on their rules and do legit landers, you can still scale, just takes...

    okay so I literally just started last week and I'm trying to run this simple health offer on Facebook I followed all their rules no before after pics no crazy claims just a normal landing page but they keep hitting me with policy violations I appealed and they said approved then an hour later...

    PropellerAds push campaign ROI dropped 70% after hitting $500 daily, anyone else seeing weird CR pat

    show me the logs or proof because correlation isn't causation and maybe it's just a bad day for their stats or some weird cap they hit that they don't wanna admit. you know how these networks love to play with the numbers when they want to squeeze more out of you.

    PropellerAds push campaign ROI dropped 70% after hitting $500 daily, anyone else seeing weird CR pat

    Alright so I'm running this push campaign in a cheap GEO on PropellerAds, finally got it to a stable $500 a day with a solid 120% ROI for like a week straight and then overnight my CR just tanks it's not a gradual decline it's a cliff, like from a 4.2% CR down to 1.3% and the EPC got cut in...

    finance/health links update PBN vs white hat after 6 months

    Alright so I actually tested both approaches for a health affiliate site last quarter white hat was the scholarship page method plus outreach to those resource lists spent like three grand on content and VA work black hat was a 10-site PBN cluster I built myself hosting costs spread out you'd...

    SOCKS5 vs HTTP: quick update for pros

    but isn't it kinda risky to just assume SOCKS5 is still the stealth king w/o considering how HTTP proxies have evolved and how TOS scrutiny is always changing especially with new privacy measures and anti-fraud tech?

    stop looking at clicks, start tracking lagging indicators

    Honestly I think deploying just a single source for a test is not enough but I also think the idea of tracking real net profit and comparing it to reported conversions is solid if you do enough of those tests and keep the noise low it can give you real insights I just wouldnt rely on one test to...

    honestly why are geo proxies so expensive if the content is free

    so if infrastructure is the main cost, do you think cheaper geo proxies will ever be reliable or just a shot in the dark to save a few bucks.

    honestly why are geo proxies so expensive if the content is free

    Okay so I'm trying to do this localized content thing for a new campaign in like Poland or something and everyone says you need geo-targeted proxies to check your landing page and see local ads but honestly looking at the prices it's insane they charge like triple for a Polish IP versus a US one...

    Alright so I'm pushing this one weight loss CPA on Maxbounty been running it for two weeks now finally got it profitable after burning like three hundred bucks on landing page tests my stats looked solid at $50 a day spent CR was holding steady at 1.8% EPC around $0.42 tried to scale up to a...

    The 'Resource Page' link method that still prints in 2025

    I see what you mean but honestly I think relying on resource page links as a main push tactic in 2025 is just noise if your CR and EPC are not trending up after testing different angles. Traffic's too smart now and banner blindness is real, so if your resource page isn't converting well, the...

    just burned cash on 'fast' proxies that lied about speed check your math

    Core, I get the point but sometimes even testing isn't enough if the proxies are lying at the network level, not just marketing. Been there, tested that, still got burned. Trust but verify but don't rely solely on tests that can be faked too.

    trying to use proxies for IG botting is like feeding your money to a gremlin

    Show me the numbers though cuz my Binom dashboard on a similar vertical shows the exact opposite trend that might just be noise in your dataset or a bad day for the traffic source

    just burned cash on 'fast' proxies that lied about speed check your math

    Woke up to a dead campaign because my residential proxy pool was crawling at like 2000ms average response time lost a whole day of scaling and it's the provider I've been using for months their dashboard showed all green but the actual requests were timing out mid-session My bad for trusting...

    rotating proxies gone wrong, beware the trash providers

    building your own proxies is a fantasy most people sell as a magic bullet but in reality it's a pain in the ass and not even close to a sure win if you don't know what you're doing or don't have access to legit IP ranges and decent infrastructure. trust me I've been down that rabbit hole and...

    integrating custom proxy pools with puppeteer, what's your setup

    show me the numbers tho because my setup with a local proxy pool handled by a small nginx server rotating IPs on each request keeps the sessions pretty clean without restart kills and keeps my CR stable even after hundreds of requests. but yeah the fingerprint game is a whole different beast and...

    integrating custom proxy pools with puppeteer, what's your setup

    Alright so I'm scraping some SERP data for a new LP angle and my usual residential provider is getting blocked after like fifty requests it's a classic case of the provider's pool being too small and reused I need to build my own rotation but integrating it cleanly with puppeteer seems messy...

    anchor text split test numbers just don't add up help

    So I doubled down on the test but still kept the same 50 guest posts just with a different mix of anchor ratios and added some manual outreach to push branded links more aggressively but still no real movement in the SERPs just noise and same flat trend lines I guess it just might be a case of...

    anchor text split test numbers just don't add up help

    Alright update on that anchor text experiment I was running last month after the whole VPN thread so I tracked a batch of 50 guest posts split three ways one third exact match money keywords one third branded using our site name one third just naked URLs like https etc expecting to see some...
