Sherlock Holmes Of Affiliate Marketing
Posted on March 9th, 2008 by SOB under UncategorizedIf you are an affiliate marketer, you know what a pain in the ass it is when you find a niche that you want to promote the hell out of, and have to jump from network to network, trying to find out first whether that particular network offers anything in your selected niche. And if they do, what type of creatives are offered, and most importantly what is the payout? Now, if you are like me, and have signed up with over 20 networks, you are going to start hating trying to promote new offers pretty quick.
But, don’t worry. Relief is only a matter of time. Enter Affspy.com. I first read about affspy.com on Uberaffiliate.com, and the met the guys at ASW08 meet market. Apart from checking some really good looking booth babes, I really wanted more information about this service. At the summit, there were only 2 new concepts that really got my wheels turning, one was Affspy, and the other was Popshops.

Affspy, although now in selected beta, is one amazing service. Let’s assume that you are really wanting to promote “hoodia”. With Affspy, finding the best offer is just a couple of clicks. Once signed on, insert the name of the promotion, in this case “hoodia” in the search bar, and enter.

In an instant, you will receive various offers of hoodia from various networks, offering every creative, and also different payouts by clicking on the Compare Payouts button.

I found it easier by clicking on the View Single Network view on the right hand side, where it gave me the payouts, the advertiser and the network names right there. Therefore, if I liked the payout, the product and the network, I click on the details and and I can then view the landing page and the creatives. In this case, I picked the Hoodia Trin by Copeac, since it offered the highest payout of $24.50 (Neverblue was giving a higher payout, but the only creative offered was email). Below, I have shown just 2 banners, but it lists all the banners available, as well as email, text or any other creative that the advertiser offers.



Affspy does not have any monetization plan in place, other than the “Join Network” button on the results page. Not sure how many new signups they are expecting to get, and be able to keep the site running. I for one hope that they sign up a ton, to sustain their growth, and make my life easier.

Hmmm…
Hydramedia has a similar Hoodia product (HoodiaTherm) with a $41 payout and 2 other very similar Hoodia products both paying over $30.
Unfortunately while this tool is certainly beneficial, it is far from complete. I’ll use it, but not without a healthy dosage of due diligence. With any luck they’ll get around to adding some of the “left out” networks.

It’s funny you mention that. I was looking at my diet pill campaign last night after this post, and noticed that too. But, I guess Affspy does not have HydraMedia in their db yet. Hopefully they will have that added when they get out of beta. I guess it all depends on which aff network gives them access to it’s db.
