As I've said before forums are untested, however I don't see why a forum would be any different from a DDL site, when it comes to earnings. The traffic type is basically the same.

Only thing is, I think you have to be a little agressive with the linking on forums.

  1. Make sure to put a customized link to Sharingzone on at least the first post of each thread, even if it's at the bottom of the page below the download links (of course, near the top is better).
  2. Create a custom search box on your main page at the top, not the default search box that comes with Vbulletin, but a custom one that goes to a custom search results page. On this search results page, your search terms link to Sharingzone using the custom link code.
  3. Based on each search term in #2 above, create a Search Cloud and put it at the bottom of the main forum page, each search term links to Sharingzone using custom search code too.
I believe those steps would get any forum converting almost as well as DDL sites.

I am looking at creating some coding for forum owners at the moment. If you implement the above or code it, let me know.
 
you get paid once a month like this:

July earnings will be paid on august 15th
August earnings will be paid on Septemper 15th
and so on...

Yess ^^^. Splitice, where did you start promoting Sharingzone? If you started this month, you will get paid for it on Sept. 15th.
 
I got a plugin made for Vbulletin.. Vbteams hoxxy helped me for it.. I will test it how to put it up in the forum at the best, before making it get released..
 
Yeah they pay once a month currently, but there has been rumblings of them possibly switching to bi - weekly, but I'm not too sure.

Regardsless they pay the full amount on time, every time so there is no worries there.

With their new bonus structure, that just gives me more time to become a top 5 affiliate and take in the extra CASH!
 
Hm....I just noticed that if google indexes a download trough the sharingzone link it becomes filename_$download$.html and no affiliate link..which kinda sucks because if someone does signup, I don't get paid, although it was indexed trough my site.

It's not instant though, but still.
 
Hi xSaimex, when you link to sharingzone using your affiliate code, that is your primary link that gets indexed from Google -- off your site.

On the Sharingzone page itself, there is also a "permalink" (the link you described) it's just there because it is a known SEO practice -- to have at least one permalink on pages with appropriate anchor text.

Keep in mind that the URL that Google crawls from your site will have more weight... and honestly, I haven't seen a single sale generated from any of the permalinks since inception -- so I'll gladly remove them if it bothers anyone!
 
That's also the reason not to use direct links. Or evne when you do you should add the rel="nofollow" to it. I have been told (as optimization) to change my links to direct links to increase the conversion ratio. I will do this in a few cauze I'm busy now, but I'm really interested to see if it will give a better conversion rate. I AM adding rel="nofollow' though :D

You don't have to remove them. Perhaps you could edit the source code, so if google indexes the permalink, it does it with the users affiliate code. I checked some releases, and the permalink always comes up as first result.

Be sure that your server configuration has "allow_url_fopen" tags turned on -- check with your host for this. If they don't do this, there are alternatives, check back with me.

Hmmm... well if you are promoting Sharingzone, wouldn't you want your affiliate links scatterred across the 'net? I have always advised affiliates to make sure NOT to use rel="nofollow" on their affiliate links! It would just take away from your own sales volume! :P

Genius idea my friend. I have to go now, but will see about getting this done ASAP when I return! :)

Edit: Done!

pls say someother way to add Random Targetted Text Links...
Click to expand...

If the random text or buttons links don't work for you:

1. Turn On your server's "allow_url_fopen" tag:
Edit your server's php.ini file, and set "allow_url_fopen" to "on".

If you're on a shared host, ask your hosting company for a copy of your php.ini file, then put that file in your local directory, and set "allow_url_fopen" to "on."
​
2. Using PHP's file_get_contents function:
Random Text Link:

<? echo(file_get_contents("http://www.sharingzone.net/random.php?id=xxxxxx")); ?>

Random Button Link:

<? echo(file_get_contents("http://www.sharingzone.net/button.php?id=xxxxxx")); ?>
​
3. Using PHP Curl function (Credit: sanis):
Random Button Link:

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.sharingzone.net/button.php?id=XXXXXX");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
curl_close($ch);
?>

Random Text Link:

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.sharingzone.net/random.php?id=XXXXXX");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
curl_close($ch);
?>

​
Be sure to replace XXXXX with your Sharingzone username!
