So if the competitor has a confidentiality agreement with you then you won't provide the data to someone?
I think this is potentially a great product, I'm just confused as to the semantics of the marketing.

color me confused too ... all affiliate programs with porn sites are competitors ... there's only so many affiliates to go around, and most programs (especially the big ones) are using the same core of affiliate traffic ...
so exactly what are you guaranteeing that you won't break confidentiality? by not reselling the specific report that was commissioned by that sponsor? will you sell new reports for each sponsor on identical niches?
from my understanding, and I hope you can clarify, it seems like once you'd done this a few times, it would all be crossing over itself ...

We do our own spidering, so what we show as the number of found affiliates is probably alot less than the actual number.
So in order to get more value out of the report, paysite programs have asked if they could provide us with their list of affiliate webmaster domains, in order to get a more indepth report.
Their concern is if they provide this info, then anyone who orders a competitor report on them, well get to see all of their affiliates.
We have come up with a way that we can accept a paysite's affiliate list to create the richer report, and also keep it so that they information is not used for others.
Over time, we will uncover more and more of their affiliates through our spidering, so that information would be provided in a competitor report.
So for the same $150/year for a paysite's domain, they can get alot more data if they provide us with their info. It is a trust factor that we don't share their data (along with a confidentiality agreement), but it's one that many have expressed the interest to do, so we have created that option for them.
Eventually we'll have most of the affiliates found, so its just a matter of time, but having the affiliate list handed to us, means we provide a better service to the subscriber of the report of their paysite.
Fight the Time Delay!

exactly, that's why in the confidentiality agreement we state that any affiliates that we find through our own spidering, will be included in the competitor report.
The way we achieve this, is we have a "blacklist" table, where we enter all of the affiliate domains.
When we run a competitor t3report on a domain that has supplied us with their affiliate list, we compare the 1st level domains (affiliate level) with the blacklist, and where there is a match, we don't show that domain.
As we do our spidering, we compare the domains we have found with the blacklist, and then delete from the blacklist.
Over time, the blacklist for that specific domain will diminish. So it is a matter of time before do find all affiliates for a particular domain, that's our job.
The confidentiality agreement just ensures that we don't use that given information for others seeking a competitive report.
Hope this clears it up.. already have 3 large programs interested in this feature and the trust factor is flattering.
Fight the Competitors!

I will admit I never really understood the CJ method, of irritating the surfer to the point that they clicked just to get rid of the popups. Are advertisers using this same theory on AWM's? Put up an annoying wav file and they will click to get rid of it?
Here's a hint, it isn't going to work. We know to just refresh, or go to another board.

You know how many people have told me that???
No one buys from blindlinks..
No one buys from popups..
No one buys from Email.
Well I've made between 10-20m gross using those tactic....
Basically you have told me two things.
Your a smart surfer , and...

I did not say that. I said I never understood the CJ method. Even when it was popular I never got it.

FightThePatent, thank you for that explanation, it makes total sense now
the best marketers are the ones who can break down *anything* so that *anyone* can understand it. everything I've seen you associated with has been marketing perfection ;-)

thanks.. i consider myself more of a "product guy" that has been forced to be a "programmer guy" and a "marketing guy" and a "legal analyst guy" along the way to being a "business guy".
Fight the many hats!

I know it did, and I know people made bank with it, I just never got it, so didn't pursue it.
Am glad you like the T3Report, all credit goes to Brandon. He was the one with the smarts enough to come up with it, and to ask me to help him market it
