This is a very profitable idea to make money through cookie stuffing. First you need to know how to do cookie stuffing, many of you might already know about this method, yet there might be some who don’t. This explanation is for that section of people.
- First of all, you should know that if you overdo the cookie stuffing, you’ll be in trouble with the affiliate company and this method might also get you banned. You should be clear about the rules and the extent to which you can stretch your luck before you try this.
- Sign up with an affiliate company so that you can start marketing their products. You can find MANY sites that need affiliate partners. Some include Commission Junction, Click Bank, as well as eBay Partner Network. Commission Junction and Click Bank offers enough variety for you to cater to nearly every demographic, while eBay is good as most people are likely to buy something from eBay at some point in their lives. Any of these sites are great potential to earn big money! and the best part is they offer great money to us if do cookie stuffing.
- Next, you need to choose which offers to market (which cookies to stuff). Find a big forum through which you can stuff the cookies. If you are looking at a clothing or retail segment, you can pick a relatively large clothing forum that people are likely to frequent. Now, choose as many offers that are related to this forum as possible, so that you can increase your chances of making more sales. Once again, there is absolutely nothing like working with eBay to increase your chances of making more money! Just remember, the more cookie stuffing you do, the more you'll earn online money.
- Now you need to get all your affiliate tracking links for the offers you are going to promote. This is an easy process. Most affiliates will give you this URL on once you sign up to promote one of their offers.(do cookie stuffing)
- Now, you need to edit the .htaccess file on your website. For this, first log into your website hosting account via FTP (use filezilla if you don’t already have FTP software). You should see a public_html folder. If not, then just open the folder that contains all your files in it. In this folder, you should be able to see the .htaccess file. If you can’t, don’t worry. Just create the file.At the very beginning of the file, insert:Redirect /image1.jpg
If you have many number of affiliates, just put the same code for consecutive images 1, 2, 3 and so on.Ultimately, your .htaccess file will resemble something like this:Redirect /image1.jpg http://www.youraffiliate.com/your-affiliate-tracking-urlRedirect /image2.jpg http://www.youraffiliate.com/your-2nd-affiliate-tracking-urlRedirect /image3.jpg http://www.someotheraffiliate.com/some-other-affiliate-tracking-urlWhen you are finishing your work, you have to make sure that the images don’t exist on your website hosting.
- Finally, you can post whatever you would have otherwise posted onto the targeted forum… but make sure you put this code at the end of the post:[IMG]http://www.yoursite.com/image1.jpg[/img][IMG]http://www.yoursite.com/image2.jpg[/img][IMG]http://www.yoursite.com/image3.jpg[/img]In the place of “yoursite”, enter the name of your website, post it and you are all set to earn a few bucks!All you have to do is wait to get a few “clicks” on your link.
What Just Happened
What you just did is called Cookie Stuffing. Whoever visits your posts will get a cookie stuffed in their browser history because of the hidden images. In case someone buys something from eBay (or whatever affiliate you chose) a week after they visited your site, the cookie will be remembered by their computer and, VOILA! You will receive a commission for that sale! So, you will earn some good money each month just by doing cookie stuffing.
