Ain't that special! If that's the case, then why are there people still using it today (Twitter, for one) to direct traffic to Godadday so that they can possibly earn a commission like they do for the other affiliate sites they're hawking. I can't believe they would use legit codes for all the others, but use a generic code for Godaddy, leaving a potential 20% referral fee on the table.

Do you mean the 1stchoicedesign Twitter user?


How are you getting these URLs? Most of them are the result of about 4 or 5 redirects, especially on Twitter which goes through t.co, then bit.ly, then affiliate.godaddy.com, then finally the URL above. For instance, one of the links from that 1stchoicedesign feed is https://bitly.com/ICBH3R - which according to the bitly info page (https://bitly.com/ICBH3R+) goes to http://affiliate.godaddy.com/redirect/E9F84F788EF630C486E5CDAE5CABFD65A2DB03FA65D00418FFD24E97A0061A070914402DD3F7CEEFCEA

If there was a way to check where else the ZT affiliate link had been used, you might dig something up.

Let's start anew:

From http://www.techxav.com/2010/01/31/how-we-scale-techxav/

Quote
Here are four methods that we are using to improve page responsiveness and reduce traffic and loading time. Actually we have more ambitious plans which will be launched in the future, these plans will help us to handle a higher level of popularity of TechXav:

  • Global CDN: Our readers outside the United States aren’t able to view our articles fast enough, and we apologized for that. We plan to use Global CDN to push our static assets, within the origin of “xavimg.com”. This will eventually improve page responsiveness further.
  • Singapore Mirror: It’s ironic that a Singapore-based website doesn’t have a Singapore Mirror! The average tendency from Singapore to the United States is about 180 milliseconds to 240 milliseconds, which is WAY TOO LONG! We will soon build a local mirror to serve most Asian countries as well as OURSELVES! (We have concerned too much about our US readers,  Grin
  • Rackspace Cloud Sites: It costs $100 a month, and we don’t have that sort of money. It would be great if some of the you guys could support us financially. This will bring TechXav to the next level. Currently, we can only dream about it.

You can support us and help us scale TechXav further and bring us more traffic via the following ways:


The removed links can still be viewed via archive.com. I'll get back to that.

About Zhou Tong

Zhou Tong is a 15-Year-Old Chinese student who is currently on a scholarship in Singapore. He is an all-rounded tech-savvy teenager - professional web developer (PHP, Ruby on Rails and MySQL), website designer (XHTML/CSS, Internet analyst and a professional tech blogger.

Note the quality of the English here. The English on this Twitter accounts at this time frame were not as good. More on that later, too.

The main link I'm addressing, for now, is Purchase GoDaddy products using our affiliate link. The link URL is http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting.aspx?isc=IAPtno17.

When I mouseover that link in the original page, the URL I get is actually a different affiliate redirect link: http://affiliate.godaddy.com/redirect/1CAD129D78936A01B2EA2848DC9C4E44

This redirects to the URL you give above, with the IAPtno17 ref which seems to be a generic godaddy coupon code.

I don't get the slightest idea what you are talking about.

And am somewhat impressed and disturbed by the energy and time you are able to invest in this technique.. digging up one whois and company impressum after another, interconnecting them, and linking them to random never-heard names..

Learning SEO students tend to register many used to optimize the site for a long time down, the hands will have a lot of account passwords, this time, the account password management problems have emerged. After all, you have been using a password does not work, do not say that each site may have different password requirements, even if you can always use a password, but the account where the website, and the management is still a lot of trouble.

I don't know whether I'm being really slow here or if you're not making sense, but what are you trying to say?

Someone posted a twitter link with an affiliate ID in it?

The godaddy code comes from the magazine Zhou used to write for and if I am understanding things PG has linked it to the same code being used on mybitcoin.com or related sites owned by the same people/s.

So - tom williams owned both techxav and mybitcoin, and thats possibly how zhou tong heard about it  Smiley

At least thats my educated guess  Smiley

For a minute there, my dick got hard.  Grin To be fair, I haven't made that exact connection--yet.

I don't know whether I'm being really slow here or if you're not making sense, but what are you trying to say?

Someone posted a twitter link with an affiliate ID in it?

guess he will show us a connection between ZT and someone other because a minor cannot do business alone without the help of others...

or am i wrong?

I am able to show that either a teenager has his parents doing a lot of paperwork or that there is no Zhou Tong, at least not as we know him.

Has anybody taken the time to read his virtually flawless English post from 2+ years ago on TechXav.com? Doesn't anybody find that aspect at least weird?

And how do you explain that $6,000 dog on the Bitcoin Magazine?  Grin

wow, is it possible all bitcoin hacks since 2011 are linked together and came from the same group of criminals...

The Bitcoin Crime Syndicate?

First they open up a website and collect not only coins from users, but also usernames and passwords.  Then they claim the site failed and lost all the coins.  With the usernames and passwords they log into email address and bitcoin exchanges and clean them out again.
