The Adult Webmaster

Logged into my Google Adwords account this morning to find a shocking situation unfolding.

Apparently someone was able to crack into my account 2 days ago and set up a rogue ad campaign. The campaign they started was focused on “extagen” keywords and had a daily spend limit of $900! The max CPC was set at $100 on each keyword! Over the course of 2 days they were able to run up $490 in ad clicks (39 clicks total).

I immediately paused the campaign, then changed my password in Google Accounts. Then I sent an email to Google support, informing them of my compromised account situation.

I then checked out the link that the hacker had been sending all of the clicks to - xhttp://www.extagenshop.com … apparently he was just using this domain to iframe his sponsor xhttp://www.extagencapsules.com/a/alexdesign9 … so I went to the sponsors contact page and reported this rogue affiliate to them.

After contacting the two parties who profited off this, I then logged back into my adwords account and noticed that the campaign had been un-paused. Thoughts of keystroke loggers danced through my head as I imagined that was the only way someone could get my password so quickly. I then realized there was another one of my Google account with access to my adwords account, so I went and changed the password for it as well.

When I came back to my adwords campaign summary page I noticed that every one of my adwords campaigns had been “deleted.” The way adwords works though, even a deleted campaign is still completely visible, so no data is lost. I checked out the rogue campaign again and noticed that the hacker had apparently changed his destination URL as to cover his tracks to some degree. Then I checked out his domain again, only to find a completly blank slate… no html, no iframe, nada. This being at the most, 10 minutes after I made my initial reports.

Thats right, this promo starts in just under 24 hours! $60 PPS plus revshare! This is one hell of an offer from Dee!

This summer, QuickBuck is stepping their affiliate game up! These guys want your traffic in the worst way and are willing to pay $50 Per trial Signup!

I know what you are thinking… “Nice, another huge PPS promo… how long does it last? A weekend?!?”

Well QB isn’t dick teasing you like many programs are known to do… they are offering this promo until August 31st!

Usually I try to avoid pushing trial memberships, because trial members are looking to get in and get out before the trial expires (bargain shoppers), but with QuickBuck offering $50 for every trial member… how can you resist?

I am sad to day that one of the most knowledgeable and giving individuals in the online adult biz, Jayeff, has passed away.
