Try WhatRunsWhere for $1? Yes Way....



If this tool was so good, why are you not using it internally?

Seems stupid to me to provide this.
 
Because we're building a real business with customers who we support, not just running campaigns. Take advantage of our stupidity then...
 
I got an account with whatrunswhere and adbeat. I am now only using the WRW account. I really like the clean interface of adbeat better but, they just don't scrape near the data that wrw does.



Speaking of which how far back does the data go and do you keep adding new scrapers?
 
Interface wise, I'd love to hear how you think we can improve, we're always open to feedback it helps us get better.

We do constantly add in more scrapers which means more data! In the states our data goes back over 2 years and about half a year in every other country.

cause there is more money in selling people stuff to rip off other people's campaigns, than actually ripping them off yourself.
 
some people build racecars, some people drive them. it's only stupid if you don't understand how business works.

Exactly. Also, believe it or not, there's a whole wide world out there outside of affiliate marketing in terms of online advertising (but we love our little piece of it)..
 
They can always exclude data to the campaigns they want to copy for themselves


;-)

We exclude NO data, and never will take out other peoples data because they ask us to, it just won't happen, all my campaign data is in there... I'm not thrilled about it but it's not getting taken out..

It actually started that way. I wanted a list of high quality traffic sources to use for PPV campaigns. Search network domains had a lot of competition, media buy/content network had almost none. So I wrote a bot that looked for media buys, saved the landing pages, then could search them later to return landing pages based around a topic ("payday loans" for example). I would then load these into really, really large PPV campaigns.

Then eventually I remembered that I hate running campaigns(or more specifically landing pages) and realized that I had more data than I knew what to do with. So I coded up an interface and started renting access. I love programming scrapers, so I ended up spending more time coding/making it better than I did running campaigns off of it. Eventually I stopped running campaigns from it altogether and the result became whatrunswhere.

So what he's trying to say is they would rather build their business around creating a service that people actually need rather than sticking with the dying affiliate arbitrage business model that half this forum makes their money from.

I wouldn't say the model is dying but the industry is changing and the model is evolving and we're just trying to help people make more during all that
 
we classify sub domains as separate domains. For example whatrunswhere.com and help.whatrunswhere.com could be searched an analyzed separately.
 
yeah i might get this. i'm worried though about cancelling the service after 7 days and it being impossible or something. i'm not sure if i'm able to take full advantage of the features on here yet..
 
sabster, you can cancel at any time without any kind of penalty, you would simply click the cancel button at the bottom of the dashboard.

Joevis: what??
