what sponsor has feeds with items that dont give you credit when clicked?

and

there must be a way to have that shit load in the parent window

**digitalfantasies** · 08-23-2011, 07:18 PM

if you want to do something like that, why not build a whitelabel?

it showed active cam thumbs and when you clicked the thumb it showed a stats page with a description and a link to chat. You then click the link or the profile image and it takes you to their site. It was sort of nice because, even though It left my site, it had an extra step in between, it didn't take them directly to the cam site.

also, the less steps to live webcam chat the better imho, so adding an extra step might look cool but can work against you when it comes to conversions (unless maybe you have something really really really unique)

What about using a white label where you change your domains DNS so everything is done on your domain?

BTW, does anyone know of a true white label cam program that works with wildcard DNS entries so that any subdomain will load the main or a friendly error page at the white label cam site? I got a bunch of links from random subdomains that the current program I am using does not handle properly.

I can't say 100% right now that I didn't try to modify any code, or that I didn't fuck up somehow as I did it a while back. I'm on my gf's laptop, my shitty toshiba laptop is screwing up and I don't have any of my software on this machine. I made the initial changes on fri or sat and the laptop went to shit the next day.

I am pretty sure I just copied the feed using their reader but I am not 100% positive so I don't want to call them out if I fucked up. Either way it was disappointing. The minute I saw that, I took it down, I probably should have taken a closer look at things but I was kind of frustrated about it all.

I wish I could keep the content on my design. I'm not saying my design is the best ever made but I think it would be better than the standard w/l look. I initially wanted to put a new models image in the bg corresponding with the categories, etc., as well as some other stuff, but it seems anything I use will instantly throw them off the site so i just left it simple.

A lot of people have streamate wl now so it could be pretty slow unless you have volume or model based targeted traffic.

Thanks for the advice. I will take your word for it, I just get nervous people will find it or get annoyed that any chick they want to click on goes to my streamate w/l in a blank window. Is there a way I can build something and just use their content somehow? I don't see that option available in any of the w/ls I have gone to.

I was just questioning the validity of having a site that just opens up links to another site in a blank window. Lately it seems like any new site I visit opens up like 3 popups that are a pain in the ass to close. I usually have my trigger fingers on control and w because of that and fear others may just consider it spam or get frustrated with the whole open/close/click rotation.

so basically you want a whitelabel while using your background / design, not sure but I think that will be a tough one to crack...

Exactly. I haven't really found that yet though. I heard webcamwhiz will allow you to use their api somehow but you need your own merchant account or something like that. I am just a lowly, noob trying to start out in the affiliate biz. I don't have a high risk merchant account and don't even know if I could qualify for that, where to look, etc lol.

**PSD** · 08-23-2011, 08:00 PM

Have you tried putting the iframe they give you inside another iframe and then set the target of the second iframe to _parent?

Edit: Nevermind, just realized target is not an iframe attribute.

Thanks for trying to help me out. I really do appreciate it.

than you should not worry too much about these things, just focus on getting some quality traffic first... write unique content, keep updating and write unique content, and keep doing that, also, write unique content

Thanks for the feedback! I have a decent blog domain I need to work on. I have feeds on it and recently figured out thanks to a friend that that wasn't what I should be doing. That was the only direct tool I always saw in the affiliate arsenal and just figured that was the best option. I know now that I should have been taking the flvs from the tube dumps and writing content for them. Now that I know the right way to set things up I will be revamping it very soon. With any luck it may pull some extra traffic that I can push to the w/l.

**digitalfantasies** · 08-23-2011, 08:58 PM

good luck!

Your welcome, happy to help as I have been trying to do something similar. The target of the links is set in the wl page from the program that the iframe is loading. You could retrieve it, change the target attribute of all the links, and then load that modfied page into your iframe. If you have PHP on your server and want to do so, create a file named say wl.php and put the following in it:

Code:

<?php

// Retrieve white label page

$wlpage = @file_get_contents("http://www.foreignwebcams.com/exports/tour_20/index.php?cols=4&rows=5&clr_ln=FF0000&df=4096");

// Rewrite _blank targets with _top target

$wlpage = ereg_replace("_blank","_top",$wlpage);

// Return modified page and exit

echo $wlpage;
exit();

?>

Then modify the iframe code they gave you from:

Code:

<iframe src="http://www.foreignwebcams.com/exports/tour_20/index.php?cols=4&rows=5&clr_ln=FF0000&df=4096" width="650" height="1200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

to

Code:

<iframe src="http://www.bedroomviewer.com/wl.php" width="650" height="1200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

which will load the modified page you just created instead of theirs. The thumbnail links will still go to their site but not in a new window.

If you want to keep loading everything in your site, including the join form, add a name attribute to the iframe lets call it mainframe so:

Code:

<iframe src="http://www.bedroomviewer.com/wl.php" width="650" height="1200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" name="mainframe"></iframe>

and modify the original _blank target to the new iframe name "mainframe" and all the links should keep opening in the iframe on your site.

Code:

<?php

// Retrieve white label page

$wlpage = @file_get_contents("http://www.foreignwebcams.com/exports/tour_20/index.php?cols=4&rows=5&clr_ln=FF0000&df=4096");

// Rewrite _blank targets with mainframe target

$wlpage = ereg_replace("_blank","mainframe",$wlpage);

// Return modified page and exit

echo $wlpage;
exit();

?>
