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.

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.
