Hi there! Many people made their first green numbers when majority of affiliates didn’t have to overthink cloacking as much as now. It became more difficult to earn same amount of money, as we used to do with pop and redirect traffic. It’s not only because of the new Chrome updates, and new ads placement rules of Google, but also because of bot traffic, spy tools, in particular, Adplexity. It’s one of the most modern spy tool in affiliate marketing.
Arbitrageurs working with pop and redirect traffic are doing their best to tests and search of profit links, but competitors know how to surf your ads or Adplexity bots would post your landing pages or your domains on its service which can kill all your efforts in the shortest time. You shouldn’t be afraid of trying new solution which we made for you. If we speak about such function as integrated landing along with useful tool you can significantly add you a few dozens of percent to ROI. It won’t guarantee you 100% but it’s really possible that your links won’t be found.
What is That Service?
MagicChecker is services helping to protect your ad campaigns against bad traffic, competitors, spy tools, traffic source moderators, advertisers who are ready to monitor your ad campaigns.
What is the aim of this service?
Picture it, you will find a good offer + landing + source and launch it on your pop- traffic. Your ad campaign works with +200% ROI, but there is high possibility that after a while you would find your landings in spy services. If affiliate has enough resources and experience, he or she will have no trouble finding your ad campaign and coping your profit links. In such case your advertising campaign will get little ROI.

1. It’s necessary to download index.php file and send it to the archive for integrated landing creation.
2. Then you need to create folder and make archive out of it in zip file.
3. Download archive with index.php file to tracker as integrated landing. (No-redirect)
It should come out as it shown in the example.
Next step is to go to a server where you store your landing. You will need FileZilla. You have to find folder with downloaded integrated landing on server. Then you need to download your landings Money page and Safe page. The main is to place index.php to the same place with your landings.
Let’s be back to MagicChecker. We need to defined paths to our landings. Don’t forget to add .html at the end of the link.
After we define all links with our landings, we need to create campaign in the tracker with our integrated landings.
You should set up status “under review” or do it manually after moderation.
If moderator or network manager come into your advertising campaign he would see Safe page. We set limits of ad campaign impressions as 500 impressions, further Money page will be shown.
