All right guys, some of you remember me posting a spying thread that explains how to spy on your competitors using a proxy and android apps. That is one way but today I decided to go a little deeper to explore many other ways from cheap to expensive that can help you get a lot of great ideas to minimize your risk, and maximize the profits – I’m calling this iAmAttila’s Ultimate Spying Guide for Media Buyers – because really, it IS really bad ass!

I plan to make this guide very detailed, so be prepared … it’s gonna be LONG! Feel free to skip ahead if you want to the part that is most important to you.

Questions i’ll be showing you how to find answers to

A) What offers are running on a specific site?
B) What offers are being run on specific app placement?
C) Where/what placements/traffic sources/sites is the offer being advertised the most on?
D) What creatives are being used for specific offer and which ones are being used the most (sizes,angles, etc)
E) What landing pages are being used?
F) Exposing other affiliates trackers, learning which ones send the most volume for an offer, and finding their landers/creatives
G) Spying on your CPA Network and finding out if they are re-brokering the offer, or you are really going direct to the source

Methods and Tools We will be using in our journey:

In order to do spying you need tools, these tools are expensive for the newbie but a must for any successful media buyer. I use all of these tools below myself every time I spy and my friends – the best of the best like Charles Ngo & Finch use ’em too!
