AdsSpy - competitor profiling made easy

So there’s yet another competitive intelligence tool our there – AdsSpy.com – made to easily find site network relations on the push of a button.

It does this by finding all sites running under one Adsense-Account that is the same Adsense-Account of a site you specify.

Well, this is nothing special to do, and after getting the idea from Stefan last October I’m capturing GAS,YPN,AMZN and other affiliate ids as specified by AdsSpy myself in my historical SEO database…

The big advantage of this top-pay service is their HUGE index which is said to be fed from the SeoDigger database. A promising big index of 60 million pages or so… enough to capture all the average MFA sites…

It’s a nice service to reveal your competitor’s sites… and if you’re into MI6 work on a daily basis, that fee probably pays for itself… For myself I’m happy to watch all those dozens of sites a competitor APPEARS to have and let my own tool tell me their related in the next second… and – I might still increase my “own” index to capture five times more also to get from 12 million pages to 60 million pages that SeoDigger has :)

PS: something bit sneaky – they modify the domaintools WHOIS output with a “buy link” to their AdsSpy site if they discover a whois lookup

for a site they find to have competitive information about themselves :) hehe – domaintools watch out – those Russian’s are at least as smart as you are…

A4U Expo London 2007 - what a blast!

I must admit I can hardly remember when I announced the a4u expo or that I would attend it, but I know didn’t expect such an extremely high satisfaction with with participating here… comparede to the Affiliate Summit London I’ve been to in September this event was so big i would list it belong those major conferences like SES San Jose, New York and the WMW in Vegas (see you there in December)

Quality Sessions
Quality Audience and networking opportunities around the clock
Quality Venue with coffee & drinks when you need them (hello SES – after partying, we are close to de-hydrating in the morning as well!!)
bonus goodies like on-site massage (what a wonderful experience to get rid of your stiff neck between sessions) and

some really GREAT food at the parties (thanks to sponsors buy.at and pepperjam obviously – Google Dance could use some of this delicious food too Sergey :-)

This actually makes me forget a quite horrible trip to get here (some friends know it) – it was worth every hour delay/waiting for luggage/changing roomes/headache etc.

Shoutouts go to those brilliant folks I had a chance to meet up or party with at the parties here and the (they say) poshest club in London “China White” – namely Stefan Juhl of SignalZoo , Marcus Tandler AKA mediadonis , Kris and Aaron from Pepperjam , Jason & Tony of Strange Logic , Andre & Adam of Hitflip , Sabine, Kristi and Nico Zeifang , Joost de Valk and Owen of AffiliateWindow and Kristi, Michael, JP from HackerSafe as well as JoeBucks of JoeBucks and his sales compagnion which name I forgot :-)

I bet I missed a dozen other people – sorry for that – but I already missed one major appointment today with a very valued client, which I’m really sorry for, so I don’t want to risk missing the plane as well (but then, they might cancel/rebook/mess up everything again anyway :~~) or forgetting/loosing anything import like my flat keys as in Stockholm or other traveller horror stories again :~~)

On a sidenote: I would assume to post a bit more in the next weeks since major travel only takes up again end of November with Chicago and Las Vegas for the WMW
