At some point, thinking about the analogue of cryptocurrency mining farms, the thought came to me that a farm from mobile devices to forage will bring comparable money, but remains more predictable in terms of profitability, because you do not need to follow the rates of crypto and hype on exchanges rapidly growing altcoins. Let’s assume that we took as the basis the new android phones priced at 2,000 rubles. The most ordinary smartphone that is sold at Svyaznoy, If we set the CPI of $36 offers on it, we will repay the cost of the handset And further it will bring us only profit (Despite the fact that in the dry residue we still get a mobile).
I think that you can find more powerful and cheaper tubes, I take the figures from the ceiling, because you can not go far and do not earn much on this example, but to explain the principle of such a farm and compare it with a cryptocurrency mining farm – will work. Actually, what we have – buying video cards for mining, you will recoup their cost from half a year, a lot depends on the rate and it can take a year and a half to recoup the investment. In the case of a mobile farm we can recoup the price of cell phones instantlyBy going through CPI offers and installing all the applications that will pull our device. At a rough guess, we’ll have to take the trouble to install about 40-50 apps.
Sounds good, start now, but there are nuances. First of all. you can’t get enough of CPI offers alone.The second is that you can’t get enough of them on the market to monetize a mobile farm in earnest. Secondly. You’re gonna get burned. at a distance. There are a lot of nuances that compromise you, banal need to take care of such little things as aipishniki, themselves accounts in an affiliate network (will be strange to have an account, where stable and the same charge for all offers If I suddenly start here raspisyvat how to hide your fraud in CPI affiliate – with me then ask for this, so let’s omit these details.
This example just proves that you can beat the farm from the first days as soon as you start it, and test the whole mechanics of working on small volumes. Of course the next thing you’ll be You need to automate the processThe android allows you to get root rights on your device and automate all your whims. In simple words – you will have to do a lot of work if you want to do everything maturely and for the long term. Is it worth it? Actually, if you still have questions about the profitability of this venture, as usual China is ahead of the whole planet, watch this video. The guys are milking WeeChat messenger, which is widespread in Asia.

And this story can be developed very broadly, don’t forget that a mobile device can farm leads not only among the mobile market. You can do anything online as a full-fledged device, such as surfing sites, watching videos on YouTube, and tapping the views to get them to the top, You can read more about this in a previous article.
The cool thing about this connection is that you can use such a farm to bring your own products to the top of Google Play catalog, both white apps and those infected with various exploits, or even start a service for motif traffic and motif installations, and promote other people’s apps to the top. In general, you will not go hungry, but the biggest impact of such farms is on advertising networks.
Only lazybones haven’t written about how flooding the ad market is eating up a third of advertising budgets. By fraud is meant exactly fraud, deliberate attempts to defraud the ad network. As I wrote above, that on such a business model can not go far, and Not everyone likes to keep a hangar with mobile devices. Hangars with farms are raised for slightly different tasks, when you steadily need 1 handset and simulate 1 character as a living person, from a real device it is easier to do than constantly pick up hardware ID, correct i.p. addresses, eternally hit the country, operator, and so on. Emulating a single device is more difficult than having it physically. And for the emulation would need to rent dedicated servers on which to run android, and he, as practice shows, is not supported by all VDS servers, which have an acceptable price for the topic and will pay off.
It’s more convenient in this chain to make your own botnet out of other people’s devices right away, rather than procuring your own physical handsets. The difference is that the botnet, or part of it, can fall off at any time. The device could go offline, or the owner of the handset could just vype the operating system and take down our app that we infected his device with. In addition, many countries will consider your actions as a criminal offense if you start cheating, such as skimming credit card data from devices. However, all this is levelled by the fact that when organizing a botnet, we do not need to worry about hardware parameters – they will always be unique, the handset will always have its own IP address and its own history of the real user of the handset. This eliminates a lot of nuances with which our farm, and now the botnet, could be burned.
But, man, you have to get admin rights on someone else’s handset and remove the restrictions. That’s an arial!
Have you heard my talk on clickjacking? I made a report on this topic a couple of years ago + shared similar developments on tspaclab forum already under facebook (The RU segment was not enough for me, I decided to work with a worldwide audience). It is enough to look at another video to understand the mechanics of clickjacking.
There are other ways, it largely depends on the version of the android device. It is possible to directly buy advertising by targeting to a leaky version of the operating system. There are also free options, such as fake app, optimize it for search queries within hundredapplications and receive organic traffic. Some kind of Android Cleaner or supposedly antivirus will do. About this you can Read my old blog about it almost 4 years agoWow, how time flies! What’s the situation with ASO optimization now?
ASO (App Store optimization) is a set of measures to optimize your application, namely: title, keywords, descriptions, in order to maximize the visibility of your application in search.
Actually, at the time when I was doing all this, we were doing everything by feel. We just created applications, applied different hypotheses to them, and looked at their effectiveness. At that time these markets were just beginning to develop and there wasn’t any information about how directories rank their applications. Today, by the way, I haven’t seen any courses and trainings on ASO optimization, the information is really valuable. I spent some time figuring out how ranking works in storas and how to cheat these algorithms. If you are interested, you can read here, here, и here.
ASO allows us to get free traffic from search and motivated installs and in-app activity boosts help us get free traffic from directories, these are two different channels from which to siphon traffic. Directories are formed based on rating, number of installs, number of repeat returns to the app by the user. Thus, we can make one application that will be promoted with ASO, and through it collect installs on your first botnet, which will further promote your applications not on search, but through ratings and directories, taking them to the top positions.
Of course in. CPA.RU – Otherwise, why would I write all this? Let’s accept such traffic and we won’t even be embarrassed. Of course now it makes no sense to make applications with iframe windows inside when it is possible to proxy traffic and switch content by passing it through your own servers. For example change all the traffic from google ad banners to your banners, but the most frequently used one is popup windows during unlocking (At least from my experience.). The application is installed, which in itself does not give itself away and does not compromise in any way, but after installing it, every time you remove the screen lock, you are greeted by popup windows that signal advertising offers. It is best of course to disguise them as messages for single guys, supposedly written by a girl, and pour them on the datings.
Would you like to try out our smartlink? To do that, open the affiliate program menu, open the affiliate directory, and find an affiliate called “Smart Link“. Want more tutorials and less complicated but more detailed schemes on how to drain on smartlinks? Then sign up for an affiliate and stay tuned. With all these stories about monetizing traffic and mining it – I’m treading on very thin ice. You can’t go into detail or describe something manually or you’ll get banned 😀
For this I have found a solution. The next tutorial I will publish inside the affiliate network, and it will be available only for our registered webmasters. In fact, I wanted to do this for a long time, and even talked about it in my publishers, after I was blocked for the second time. Now I’m a little smarter – agreed everything with technical support contact and hid all the black schemes for their webmasters 😉
Just keep an eye on the “News” tab, there will soon be a notification of a new publication there.
In turn, I hope that even though I have to keep myself within certain limits, the content is no less interesting, good luck to all. Evik with you!
