Ah Ok. Is there maybe a macro for the campaign name? I'm trying to pass a variable so when people unsubscribe I can see which campaign to unsub them from.
Could we use the #file macro to keep a blacklist on dropbox?
It means that it's much easier than the solution @coneh34d suggested.
"For your Global Blacklist across a few VPS's first I'd create a folder on one of my webservers. Next I would place the global-blacklist.txt in that folder. Finally I'd go to Options > Filter and add the Blacklist URL there. Do this on all your servers. Update the blacklist text file periodically in hxxp://mywebserver/folder/global-blacklist.txt. Use FTP for automating this update task from your local global-blacklist.txt to the server copy."
Wow Loopline, that's some serious method there - I need to borrow it
Can I chime in and ask a related but separate question - how can we make one project post TO the global blacklist/filtered list for a separate offer? I can't see how to do this without wrecking everything.
@loopline do you run multiple licenses on the same server or a server per license? I used to do this with SER but for GSAWC it's a different ballgame. Still seeing a 20% sign up rate and 10% conversion, but (sorry) to say affiliates just sent junk so I've shut it down completely.
I don't post to the blacklist, but couldn't you just export it and import it into a new project? I see an export button on the global blacklist screen.
your only allowed to run 1 license of any GSA product (any product I have ever used) per server and so thats what I do. I already have more then a dozen servers so it fits right in for me.
Glad your signup and conversions are good, I wound up with as much work as I can handle, and all is going well for me.
@AlexR Ah sorry, I meant the people that actually visit my site it's 20% and 10%. I haven't worked out the GSACF data, something mental like every 10k I get 1 customer from it.
My site is a B2B service, so if you're running a competition and you're hitting website content forms, I can't see that really converting, I might be wrong. You're getting in front of website owners, marketers, admins who already have a website. I appreciate there may be some greed involved in wanting a new one, but most people I speak to (I run an SEO company), are so attached to their shit looking site and can't see that a fresh new modern one is going to be any different. That's a hard sell there dude, even if the competition is for a free one.

- that 20% signup rate what's it based on?
E.g. if you send 1000 contact form submits, how many visit the site, how many signup?
I'm getting a really bad signup rate.
Currently doing a win a website competition, but very very low take up.
1) Can you just list domains like this:
412signs.com
2) or should it be
!412signs.com
3) !*.gov*
Will this exclude ALL urls with .gov in them?
1) What is the correct format?
412signs.com OR !412signs.com
2) I don't want to submit to any .gov domains or have it scrape any domain like *gumtree* *crasiglist* or *yelp* etc.
Will this work?
!*.gov*
Can it look like this:
412signscom
!*.gov*
But for files/urls only domains from what I understand.
So I can use:
412signscom
*.gov*
in my list to not submit to any .gov sites? (I need to leave out the !)
