As some of you may have seen the past 2 months Credit Based Safelists have seen an increase in traffic. While initially this was thought to be a great thing we've come to find out that it's because of a scammer.
Andrew Baxter of MyLeadsMachine.com thought it was a bright idea to create a piece of software to make clicking safelists Clicklinks Automated.
We all know that automation can KILL an industry.
Mr Baxter has been sent a Cease and Desist and has assured me that AdTactics was removed from the software
BUT
automation on AdTactics only INCREASED as he sold this software to more and more people not realizing the damage they were doing.
AdTactics implemented a Captcha system to block his cheating methods and that's been highly successful so far. We've also been able to identify 100's of accounts cheating the system and have either suspended their account or removed them entirely. "Gaming" the system by automation is not allowed and by doing so users forfeit any credits, commissions, or referrals they currently have.
We have some insider information that shows us that Andrew has no intention of actually stopping the use of his software on AdTactics. In fact he's trying to get around the anti-cheat methods we just put into place.

Finally, we've got some privacy! I've just updated this page so it can only be viewed from within the software. So now I can talk about things and not have to worry about whether or not the safelist admins are monitoring this page.
Now that we have some privacy, I can say that it was AdTactics that threatened legal action about a month ago. And now AdTactics has come up with a way of catching us. I will be completely honest with you, there is really not much that can be done to defeat the new system that AdTactics and others have employed, however there is plenty I can do to monitor for those pages that check if you're a human.

I've been playing around all day and I will be able to do as mentioned below, which will render the safelists latest trick, useless. It'll slow us down a little, but it won't stop us. I'm going to need a couple of days to get it completed. Sorry to keep this short, but it's 1am here and I should really go to bed. I'll let you all know when the update is ready.
I am going to create a tabbed browser that will do this and when software comes across one of those pages (whether expected or not) it should suspend all credit links for that safelist (temporarily), it should also suspend that tab from loading another link - until you come along fill in what needs to be filled in and then tell the software it's ok to auto-click that safelist again, until it happens again of course.
I'm also looking at adding an image to each tab, the image will either be a Red Square or a Green Square, red to say the tab requires your attention and green would indicate that the tab is running ok. I am also hoping to work out how to move tabs around, so then I could move all the tabs that are Red to the far left and the green ones to the right. At least that's the plan anyway, I'll keep you all posted, I should know in a few hours if it can be done.
Thanks for letting me know your next steps Andrew!! It'll make shutting your ass down even easier.
Please don't spend ANY money with this lowlife piece of shit scam artist.
Pleas let people know the damage they're doing by using this software. They're cheating hard working safelist members out of their hard earned $$ and credits.
