PSA:

As a marketing fag, let me explain to you how ads work in 2016, as if you don't already know.

Back in the day, when you clicked an ad, it took you to a site. The end.

Fast forward 10 years, you click an ad or visit a site and a company remembers that preference and retargets ads at you across your web experience.

Fast forward 5 years: You click and ad and they already have all of your information, and by clicking the ad they can know exactly who you are, regardless of whether or not you buy something. This is utilized by CRM's like HubSpot, Marketo, Saleforce, whatever. The First Lady bill site is using Improvely.

>Improvely shows you the real people using your site with an automatically created activity profile for each visitor. Get to know your most valuable customers so you can find more of them.

So, obviously there's a Hill-pac ad on the site. Don't click it you dummies. The ad isn't here to target us into supporting her, it's targeting newfags who found Sup Forums through MSM articles. The plus side for the PAC is that if you're not browsing behind those proxies, or cleaning your cache every 5 minutes - they'll suck your information into their database to remarket to you later - or gather a database of wrong thinkers.

So don't click the ad dummy. Don't even go to the site
That concludes this PSA.

I mean obviously we all should be. But it's just a heads up, because I guarantee a majority isn't.

I work in Salesforce, this is true. Most of my job is doing what you're talking about.

It's much, much worse than that.

Thank u for ur service

Pic from last Salesforce event I attended in SanFran. Love that 5hr flight, zonked on Xanax and itty-bitty liquor bottles.

I'm knee deep in media buying and seeing success with a clickbait site loaded with native ads. Only have the budget to scale one thing right now, what do you recommend?

Did you drink the Koolaid user, or are you just riding this until the dotcom II crash

What are the options you're considering?

Paying for an expensive cloaker for FB or staying more "legit" paying for more clicks on the website.

I heard about this but wow

Learning new tech is awesome

I know they're paying me well for Agile Development. That's what I do know. Senior Administration has its perks. Lots of trips around the world for free. Singapore is nice. Good hookers, young...

When the bubble bursts I'll go back to Water street and work for the S&P again. No biggie.

So how do we feed them false info? That's the real question op. Anyone got some bots to fuck up their data?

It really depends on what your clickbait content is. If you're doing let's say celeb gossip, hyperbolic headlines and some A/B group ads on Facebook may pull in the return you're looking for as far as clicks. But if you're just gaming SEO and keywords and have literally been scraping the bottom of the barrel, you could cloak. Honestly, I don't see a reason to spend the money on cloaking for any application - you could just reroute that to more shit articles written by desperate people on Fiverr and a handful of $20 campaigns.

The major issue with Facebook ads is that Facebook bots will botch your results. In fact all legit paid advertising is a toss up as well. Without metrics for your site, I can only speculate and offer that sort of opinion.

Check out this shit though, seen some bots join popular "meme" groups on Facebook. And they're posting cloaked links that say one thing and go to a completely different page full of malware. You could try that. It seems effective. The bot thing I mean.

Get a fresh IP, get a clean computer and build up a marketing profile by going around the web looking at shit that you wouldn't normally. Fill out forms and use a new email and persona. Would take too much time, imo.

They also tie you to IRL behavior if you use discount cards at the stores where you shop, eg, CVS or Giant, or wherever.

Behind the scenes, big data links the purchase where you swiped your discount card to your online profile, and voila, you'll see online ads tied to real-world purchases you just made.

this is why everyone should have adblocker, noscript, and use archive.is for any static sites, random user agent is good too, and ghostery which blocks known ad trackers

Do the customer profiles include your real name and contact details that they somehow obtain, or is the profile set up based on IP address?

You can also just create your own cloaks by making a new site on a separate domain, with the headlines and shit and setting up 301 redirects on the "posts" you publish to go to your real site (while this won't cloak for individuals working at companies ofc).

This is far less expensive.

We've written around all of those at Salesforce. Part of what I do is exactly that, finding new loopholes to direct market to people, spy on their purchasing or shopping/browsing habits and ultimately selling that information to corporate interests. Feels good to be part of the team (s) responsible for your frustration.

how do you get involved in the industry?

Real name and contact details if you've supplied it before. If they don't have bits, they provide as much information as they have on you. Can range from just email, to everything.

Sell your soul.

>Feels good to be part of the team (s) responsible for your frustration.

Thank you for doing your part to drive internet ad worth into the ground. I honestly appreciate that.

t. blocks everything

If I always put diferent fake names on submission forms, would they be storing those fake names all individually or have a way to know they were all me?

My former boss at Standard and Poors was paying for my college as part of my salary, took a Mikeymouse development class and I had a knack for it. If you're into software dev, especially malware just email the HR department in Australia directly. HQ is in Sydney if you're anywhere near there, or could relocate. Down on Sussex street if memory serves me right. Haven't been there in a few years.

Hope it helps. The Shekels are good in this industry.

It really depends on which CRM and data supplier's they're using. Most likely it will have all the different details associated with IP / email / phone.

Everything is crossreferrenced on Google. So...if you've ever left your email open, even once while clicking around on bullshit to purchase before, around Christmas maybe your unique ID was generated using your IP.

Your ISP guaranteed is in collaborative efforts to not only secure your online identity, but to sell it as a commodity as well to larger companies that can profit from your patronage. Doesn't matter how much fake info you've entered, at the end of the day your real name is associated with your Internet bill, whose IT team developed a profile on your browsing habits a long time ago, we purchased it, refined it, then rebranded it to other people.

Is it really time to be so worried about them knowing you browse Sup Forums yet? It's not like the NWO police are throwing any of us in vans yet.

Don't be worried about whether they know you browse Sup Forums - just don't click links for lulz that will capture your information for Hillary Clinton people. That's all I would suggest. Because that data is going to someone.

Any comments on McAfee's privacy devices and software?

Can someone tell me how to use proxies

>checks flag

Why are you so paranoid?

You're better off figuring this stuff out for yourself than paying a company to "protect" your information, as you use your information and billing information to pay them for their protection. It's like paying the mafia to protect your business from themselves.

Find a proxy, set it up under your internet preferences. Free proxies are difficult to find that aren't
1. slow
2. shit
3. tracking you

have fun

No paranoia, ctr, just sharing the knowledge of having thousands of web users; personal information come into my hands on a daily basis.

Salesforce buys information from services like Lifelock. Seriously.

While everyone RPs in "HIGH LEVEL INSIDER" threads, we're dropping the real truthbombs here, Salesforce-user.

It's all really obvious stuff though.

The highlight to take from this thread is:
If you supply your personal information online, expect it to be sold and monitored.

Nothing new, everyone knows this - but you're tracked through the web, so careful where you click. Some places don't get your information UNTIL you click.

I'm not high level, but high enough to have a generous salary package for being Judas. I tell my family the same things I tell anyone. We're beyond the point of no return. Every connection is monitored and even VPN services track what you do, have your name because you paid with a credit card online most likely, or with PayPal and generate their own private profiles for companies like mine to purchase at an inflated cost. Those profiles are worth more as people are going out of their way to "censor" their own browsing habits.

No matter what you do you'll be found eventually. Even "muh behind 7 proxies" faggots are found with relative easy. Every connection leaves a unique mark, but you already know this.
