I did some searching, but couldn't find the answer to this. What are the best diy sites that you can complete at college? I am specifically looking for sites with no refs.

I'm assuming there won't be any ip conflicts?

Nope.

Each computer on my campus has a different IP.

Same here at my college. Now if you were to do offers in like a computer lab, then I would see where you could run into some problems. If you are using your individual comp in your apartment or dorm room, you should be okay.

I hope this is true cause my girl and I both signed up for bestrewardsaround 1200 gc...

while you may have a different personal IP address the outgoing address is most likley the same... even if you can view your own IP and its different than others... go to whatsmyip.com on 2 different computers and see if they are the same IP...

I know each computer has a different IP, but thats inbound, not outbound (WAN). lolz. at least thats the way it is at my college. not sure what type of setup you have there, but that would be extremely expensive to have EVERY computer have their own seperate outside IP address, esp for a T1 or T3 line.

I have never had a problem with freebies here at college. I even had 3 freepay refs and also 2 refs for other sites here at college and have never had an incident with any referral sites.

When I go to whatismyIp.com, i have a diff ip addy than anyone else.

If Ideal does DQ me for that reason, ill drive to their office (20 minutes away from me) and show them whatz up.

I've argued against the unique WAN IP at school before, but somebody convinced me that THEIR school (Princeton was it?) actually did issue each student a unique WAN IP. I was surprised too, as I've rarely seen that in practice. It's a huge number of WAN IP's to own, but the older and more wealthy institutions can afford to buy the public IP blocks, I guess. I still say most state institutions are going to have their students on an internal network behind a NAT gateway, sharing one public IP or pool of IP's. But obviously there are exceptions.

I wouldn't worry so much about ip's for ideal sites at college....

Unless it's obvious you are trying to fraud (which I hope is not the case) you should be fine.

I know at my college... we all had different internal ip's but all had the same ip outbound...well there were a few different outbound ip's but thats about it.

Ps. never had a problem with any freebie site.

They don't just look at the ip and determine fraud. If you have legit info and no signs of fraud you should be OK.

Yeah im not at a state school, im at a private institution where the tuition is so high that we better have our own IP's.

To be honest, knowing what I know (or think I know) of I-Deal, they don't put much emphasis, if any, on IP checking. They do look at mailing addresses and such, but I've never heard of them using IP's against people.

More likely what happened, if I were to speculate, is that one or more offer sponsors DID track your IP and possibly noted their offers being completed multiple times from that IP. They could have revoked the offer credit or reversed payment on that basis, (since most trial offers are limited to one per household), which I-Deal might have taken at face value as evidence of fraud. That's all just a theory, but one that is more plausible to me than DQ'ing over IP alone.

im not even sure if we did the same offers. my refferal was using a computer behing the same wireless wouter.
my refferals refferal was dqed for repeating an offer across sites and was thus dqed.

now maybe they dqed me for my referral being dqed which shouldt have matter since my refferral qualified for me. The only remotlely valid that could be pulled from the terms would be the same ip due to the router.

maybe they dont do it maybe they messed up but im sue if i persued itbthey would slap me with ip terms. I thought BOx86rowh and Jason gopt caught up behind the ip stuff as well

I had signed up for the sites I did here before I left. I did the offers here, but I signed up initially at my house. My friends down the hall I got into this stuff signed up here, but the gift site has their home address, just in case they don't get their gift until May (school ends May 2), which could happen with Brandarama. The offers got sent here, but the gift will be sent to their home address.

Possibly, but I've heard evidence to suggest that they don't flag duplicate IP's, at least not automatically like most of your small referral site scripts do. Perhaps in their investigating your ref's ref, they backtracked up the chain and noticed the dupe IP's at that point. Normally you won't be DQ'd just because your ref's ref was DQ'd, but maybe by the time they were done auditing you and your string of refs. they felt suspicious and DQ'd you all. shrug

I've only been DQ'd on I-Deal once, and that was due to my ref being DQ'd. He had brokered it out to someone who didn't know what they were doing, and before he could stop them and explain how things worked, they had already screwed up, signed up to some offers multiple times, etc. By the time I realized this, there wasn't time to get another ref. So it was no surprise to me when I got the letter, but at least it had a $100 consolation check in it so it wasn't a total loss.

No i-Deal, one is doing YTB for the $1000 Visa, the other is doing EveryFreeGiftCard for the $500 Visa.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I'll go with brandarama since I already got screwed by i-deal because they never gave credit to the person I signed up under, even though all my offers were green.

So, should i assume it's safe to do diy sites on campus? There are two ways i get wifi here. One is through the campus wifi (need id/pass) and the other is the frat house i live in where we have a different wireless provider (no id/pass needed, but mac address was registered in order to access wifi).

Is it any better to use a proxy?

Thx

tylerc

12-10-2007 11:56:31

Do NOT use a proxy.

BTW, what fraternity/college are you in?

manOFice

12-10-2007 13:13:18

If you have wifi in your fraternity house expect everyone to be outputing the same ip.

And don't use a proxy

Ok, I'm trying to signup at a brandarama site ($500 BB GC), but it will not let me enter my college adress because it is not residential. If I enter my home address, but use my college address for offers will this be considered fraud or give me any trouble?
