Ads Spy
This is a paid review of service offered by adsspy.com
Whether you are an advertiser trying to sell your products online or a publisher trying to earn online. There are many times when you want to know all the websites owned by a specific person or company. There are many ways to do it, like websites owned by same email (which can be easily faked) or websites hosted on a same IP (which doesn’t work on shared IP). So what can yo do? You can use the services of Ads Spy.
What is Ads Spy?
Ads Spy is a website service which provides you information about all (or most) of the websites owned by one owner, based on the same “advertising partner ID” used by those sites. For example, you know that website “A” is owned by some person “X”, then you can enter the URL of website “A” in there and find out all the websites owned by “X”, if the other websites are using same “advertising partner ID”. It matches publisher ID with all sites where it’s displayed. So if you know only one website where adsense is being displayed, you can know all websites that belong to the same publisher and displays Adsense.
Which advertising networks can be recognized?
Currently AdsSpy can find out websites by same person based on following advertising networks:
- Google AdSense
- AdBrite
- Yandex.Direct
- Chitika
- Yahoo Partner Network
- Kontera
- Amazon Context
- IntelliTXT
Currently AdsSpy has total of 258,780 UIDs (advertising partner ID) and 400,000+ domains in their database. Most common UID or advertising partner ID is that of Adsense.
Sample Report:
This is the type of report you will get.
What can I use it for?
- Finding out sites owned by same person
- Spy on your competitor
- To find out if somebody else is using your publisher ID on their website (may be to get you banned)
- To block MFA sites in your Adwords accounts
Pricing:
7 days unlimited access is for $29.95 only.
30 days unlimited access is for $49.95 only.
180 days unlimited access is for $199.95 only.
There are also option for single report ($4.95), 5 reports ($9.95) and 25 reports ($19.95).
Payment can be made through Paypal and Webmoney.
So, is it really useful and value for money?
If you really want to know what are the sites your competitor owns, then this is surely a good step in it. If this information is not of much use, then may be not. So it depends on how valuable this information is for you. If you really have one big competitor then I am sure there is no harm in spending $4.95 to know more about it. The best thing I like about this service is that you can find out, before buying, that how many sites are owned by same person.

Wow! That way you are helping us to find your network websites that you never mentioned on your blog! (except echemotherapy.com)
By the way isn’t this service illegal?

Great tool, and very useful too. Particularly when you want to know more about a particular competitor, to see how widespread they are in other niches.
