Ben,

Thanks! I will try out this cloaking script.

Why isn’t the rest of the world like you? You are a quality act online!

Let me rephrase ” quality act”…. you are an online entrepreneur who delivers value and demonstrates a level of ethics that comes across in all you do.

I like your show…..okay… you get the idea… “Show”….the family and your online work!

Keep it up…..some of us really appreciate what you do.

Keeping it real, it takes money, knowledge, and marketing to achieve results. I am going back to work to earn the money, studying to gain the knowledge and marketing skills necessary to achieve the desired results, (that’s earning a living online). I do believe in the internet, I spent alot of money trying to make it online. Marketing is the key, however the money necessary to back it up must be there. If the foundation is not in place, it won’t work.

Here’s what I don’t understand about your redirect and others I’ve seen. These redirects use frames to hide the affiliate code and to show a preferred url in the browser… I know your code and others’ code works, but aren’t we all taking a chance on using FRAMES, especially with Clickbank? Here’s why I’m concerned:

According to Clickbank FAQs concerning hoplinks:

“10. Will I get referral credit if I hide hoplinks by making them open into a frame, iframe, layer, applet, image, or other sub-window object?

No. These are illegal hoplinks. For security reasons, and to ensure proper tracking of your referrals, all hoplinks must be targeted to the top level of a new or existing window.

11. What happens if I do make illegal hoplinks?

The short answer is that if you make illegal hoplinks you will lose money.

Hoplinks targeted to frames or iframes are automatically retargeted to fill the top level of same window, with full affiliate referral credit awarded. Note that this retargeting may have the unintended effect of displacing your entire web site.

Hoplinks targeted to images or other invisible html objects give you no affilate referral credit at all. In some cases they will also prevent you from receiving affiliate referral credit for legal hoplinks on the same page.

Accounts that are found to be abusing the hoplink system may be terminated without notice.”

If I read the above correctly, your redirects with frames constitute illegal hoplinks. So, how can I be sure my affiliate account won’t be terminated by Clickbank if I use your Magic redirect system?

Thanks Ben!

Ben,

Thank you for all of the great info that you share on a regular basis. I’ve learned a lot from your blog posts and the links to various articles and helpful programs that you provide.
I find it a bit ironic that you came out and shared some personal parts of your life the day after I watched Yanik’s “Underground5″ video. In that he tells us about sharing ourselfs and personalizing our sites with pieces of our lifes. And you’ve done just that, thank you, you have a beautiful family. With the names of your children it does make me wonder what nationality you and your wife are and what country you live in (just curious)?
I also watched the “YahooCash4Idiots” video that you recommended and I have a question about that. I see that the link below that video (The-Yahoo-Glitch-Power) is an executable program (which I downloaded and saved) but I’m afraid to install it. What is it and is it safe to open?

Thanks again, Rick Nelson (Licensed2Shop.biz)

I do not have a website yet as I am a newbie. Actually I have a website, but I do not have it working yet. I am trying to work on it. I like your blog. It was informative. I like how you gave us a free tool.

I know this may sound petty, but you either need to expand you headliner or move your picture down and to the left, so that you see the whole “Schmooze with Ben”.

Have a great day

GOD BLESS

Lorrie
