Hey Guys,

Thanks, I am familiar with those. Much Appreciated....

I use quantcast and compete already... and am familiare with keyword spy and spyfu....the next step...

Do you scout out offers on certain domains and see what others are promoting?

I guess for CPA I am not following how you "spy" on the competitor... any suggestions appreciated.

Carlo,

ps- CPA is a new area for me, just trying to get my facts straight for when I launch my first campaign starting this week... got market research and traffic and tweaking and testing for the most part down (as in the process I will follow) just not sure about spying.

Thanks

Here's one way to spy...

Use compete.com to look at the CPA offers URL. Look at the bottom center of the page at "Referral Analytics". That tells you the top sites sending traffic to the offer. Go to those sites to see what ads, links, etc... are sending the traffic to the offer.

I better get a few hits on the "Thank You" button for this share.

Regards,

John

Definitely spyfu and alexa

CarloD. · 03-23-2010, 02:32 PM

@TE2 Gracias por favor,

Much appreciated, I'll have to do some looking around with the tools I currently use to maximize the amount of info I can get out of them.

Market Samurai
PPC webspy
Keyword Spy
Alexa
quantcast
SEO Quake Pluggin
and good old google search helps if you know how to use it

Hope This Helps

For these purposes, I use spyfu and alexa tools.

Kenster · 03-24-2010, 07:26 AM

Lots of good tools above.

People in internet marketing always forget about offline though. You can sneak up to peoples windows and see exactly what they are doing if you have binoculars and keen sense of your surroundings as if you were a spy. Can't hide or fake your traffic from me now...mwahahha. Ahhh, maybe this is bad advice, I take it back!

joshrodrigue · 03-24-2010, 08:03 AM

I also recommend spyfu as it hasn't let me down yet

vigneshrajesh · 03-24-2010, 09:04 AM

I am using spyfu and keywordspy to do this....

Just give a try ............

CarloD. · 03-24-2010, 09:55 AM
