Cookie Stuffing, Iframe Method
Introducing the iframe method. This method is among the easiest for affiliate networks to detect. There are advanced methods that can be applied to make this and any other stuffing method more secure, but that will have to be saved for a later date when we get into more advanced methods. Right now we are just starting to introduce to you the basics to get you familiar with the concepts behind cookie stuffing.
The iframe method is nothing more than a window in your website to your affiliate site. This affiliate site is queried by the web browser with your affiliate url. Just a note of caution, the refererring url will be that of your website, specifically the page that you have the iframe on. This will lead the affiliate network right back to the page if they want to manually inspect it.
The implementation is very easy, if you took the time to click on the links above, you can see how the iframe is used under legitimate circumstances.
<html> <body> The material below comes from the website http://example.com <iframe src="http://example.com" height="200" width="200"> Alternative text for browsers that do not understand IFrames. </iframe> </body> </html>
Now you simply replace http://example.com with your affiliate url. This loads that url in an iframe and your cookies are dropped on your victims computer. To make this hidden visually, you simply change the height/width to “1″.
