Brandon Adcock dot comMy Thoughts, Mostly on Direct Response Marketing

If your site or offer goes down while your paying for traffic, it is never a good thing. Just this weekend crushllc.com, which runs popular Acai offers, went down Friday night. In a situation like this, you need to be able to direct your traffic to another offer. Here is what I am doing to monitor my servers and offers.

I use Montastic for my server monitoring service as it is free and good. When you sign up, make sure to input the domains of your affiliate sites/pages, the domain of your propser account (if you use it, which you should), and then the domain of the offers you’re running.

For notifications, I listed 2 of email addresses (in case 1 was down), and I have it setup to send me a txt message if any of these servers go down. I use AT&T as my wireless provider and they issue each cellphone an email to sms address, for example your#@txt.att.net. What this will do is email that email address, which in turn sent to me as a text message. I am almost certain that every major carrier has this option, just look it up on their website.

When you’re spending thousands daily for advertisements, having a site monitoring service is vital, as Neil can attest.
