T3Report v4.0 is out with major changes and better pricing
 

T3Report v4.0 is a major rewrite of both the backend and frontend systems of the 3+ year running affiliate finding service. Affiliate Managers have used t3report to identify the affiliates of their competitors as well as to find new affiliates from complementary websites.

Some constructive criticism over the years has been focused on the confusion of navigation (too much data presented) and the pricing.

Both of these major issues have been addressed in v4.0 along with many other improvements.

Previous customers will notice that the interface is a lot simpler to use.
(see screenshots)

With the rewrite of the backend, processing of the data is significantly faster thanks to re-coding and the use of (3) quad processor servers.

You can order individual reports or go with the unlimited model.

The following are GFY prices, please mention that you read this on GFY to qualify for the discounts:

Individual reports are normally $250 per domain* (usage is for 1 month)
GFY discount is $225. Prior T3report customers $200.

(* for reports that have less than 3000 referring websites)

The unlimited model is $1500/month with a 3 month agreement.
GFY discount is $1200/month with a 3 month agreement. Prior T3Report customers is $1000/month with 3 month agreement.


The unlimited model allows you to view all the competitor websites in a niche as well as complementary websites (for example, if you have an amateur paysite, you can find all the affiliates that promote your competitors amateur websites. You can also lookup affiliates for complementary websites like those that promote dating or VOD, etc.)

This offer is good until Jun 6th.

Affiliate Managers can contact me via email or icq for a live demo to see how the data can help you find more affiliates. The cost for the unlimited 3 month version should net you higher ROI than banners ads, magazine advertisements, convention sponsorships, etc.


Fight the deadline!

Fight the never ending upgrading!

I love it.


Go Brandon go. These reports are a necessity.

woo hoo got a phone date with a1r3k to do a walkthrough


I give good demos.


Fight the innuendos!

For those reading in this thread, an advanced heads up.

I have a new service coming out focused on expired domains.

Each day 40k - 60K domains expire. The Domain Tasters come through and test them and throw domains back 4 days later. What this tool does, is lag behind the tasters to find the jewels in their garbage.

This is done by using the t3report data to find all the websites that link to the expired domain, re-spider them, lookup Google PR, and then create alist of potential gems.

The idea is if you register that expired domain, put up similar keyword content as the linking sites, and re-create the landing page URLs, then the search engines index the site.. see the high ranking referring sites, and your expired domain could get some natural SE results.

The report on an expired domain would show the exact web pages that had the link to the expired domain, and the page on the expired website it linked to. This allows you to view the source of traffic for their keywords as well as create the page so there are no 404 errors.

The next advancement is to do some keyword analysis, to find all the unique keywords on the referring sites and show that list. Also, to do a percentage breakdown of keywords and phrases that appear on all sites, so you can see what keywords you should be using.

You should then create some original content that is based on the data and find appropriate mainstream (or adult) programs that would complement.

This service will be a pay service on a per domain basis (something like $5-$25 per expired domain report) and should be well worth the money in generating that money back within 1 year in using this method.

Until i get it all perfected and stuff, I'll release it to GFY'ers to play with and try it out, maybe find their own gems.

Stay tuned, the technology is all done.. I have 2 expired/dropped dates done.. need to load up the system to process more dates and will release it in about a week.


Fight the trailer!

here is a teaser.

found this one domain that has a link from gnu.org which is a PR9

the site used to be some Indian open source website.

An indian software development company could acquire this expired domain and put up content on the site and with the PR9 linking to it, and the right keywords, could probably score high on search engines for words like "open source indian overseas offshare development" , etc



Fight the tease!

Bump for Brandon.

NOTE - getting one of these expired domains and putting up parked pages isn't going to do well (because if it had traffic, the tasters would have already gotten it) . You would want to acquire an expired domain to build it up, as a business, as a venture, etc. That's where the real value comes because you would be updating it with real content, not RSS feeds, etc

Fight the forgot to sign with my Fight the tagline!

Great deal on T3 and so worth it too for those in the know. Great job Brandon! :)

Fight the evening bump!

I didn't get a chance to write a Press Release yet... had leaked v4 to GFY.. and stephen from xbiz picked up the story: http://www.xbiz.com/news/94448

T3Report Launches Version 4
By Stephen Yagielowicz

CYBERSPACE ? Website traffic analysis company Cydata Services has released version 4 of its T3Report affiliate finding and traffic monitoring service, featuring a major rewrite of both back- and frontend systems and new, lower pricing options.

According to T3Report CEO Brandon Shalton, affiliate managers have used T3Report to identify the affiliates of their competitors as well as to find new affiliates from analyzing complementary websites.

"T3Report assists the affiliate manager with one of their tasks, which is finding/recruiting new affiliates," Shalton told XBIZ. "What better way to find qualified traffic, than trying to entice an affiliate promoting your competitor, to promote your website?"

The service is now even more affordable, with a special unlimited model now in effect.

"I hear all around the phrase 'tightening of the belts.' Companies are cutting back on spending as they are disappointed in their ROI for trade shows, or magazines, or purchasing of sponsorships," Shalton told XBIZ. "The new features in v4.0 and particularly the pricing will help those that have heard about or seen T3Report before but shied away due to the higher pricing. With faster servers and a lot of recoding, it's now faster to process the data, thus we were able to lower the price."

Future enhancements are already underway, according to Shalton, with the next product aimed at helping affiliate managers to maintain affiliates; allowing for example an affiliate manger to view all the pages that do not link to the paysite and to also view which of those pages has incoming linking traffic.

"The affiliate manager can contact the affiliate and suggest to them what specific pages they should add the affiliate link to. This tool helps the affiliate manager get more traffic out of the affiliate by helping them in placing their links," Shalton told XBIZ. "So many affiliate managers are out looking for new affiliates, that they neglect the current ones. This is another way that the T3Report data can help programs squeeze out more revenue in these tighter times."

According to Shalton, the unlimited model costs $1500/month with a 3 month contract and allows users to view information on all competing websites in a niche as well as complementary websites.

"For example, if you have an amateur paysite, you can find all the affiliates that promote your competitor's amateur websites," Shalton said. "You can also lookup affiliates for complementary websites like those that promote dating or VOD, etc."

Single report pricing and a live demo walkthrough is available as well.

Cydata Services Releases Version 4 of T3Report
Updated version helps users locate new affiliates, new business.

By: Justin Bourne

Posted: 05/29/2008

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Website spidering provider Cydata Services has released version 4 of its T3Report product, which allows users to seek out affiliates and monitor traffic.

The new version features rewrites in the back- and front-end systems and has options for lower pricing.

"The T3Report version 4 is a tool that allows affiliate managers to map out the affiliate landscape and locate potential business," company founder and CEO Brandon "Fight the Patent" Shalton told AVN Online. "This helps the affiliate manager moderate their time spent trolling message boards and sponsor parties, as well as money spent on advertising campaigns."

In addition to helping affiliate managers locate new affiliates by targeting their competitors, it helps them find new affiliate business by analyzing similar websites. Affiliate managers can focus on their competitors, as well as other kinds of sites that offer complementary traffic.

"If you have a Latina pay site, it makes sense to attract the affiliates of your competitors who are also running Latina websites," Shalton said. "The affiliate is loyal to the dollar, so if a program has new, fresh content, then the affiliate will try it out and watch the conversions."

Single-report pricing and a live walk-through demonstration are available.

Shalton said the service is more affordable than before, thanks to improvements in programming, spidering and database servers.

"The new pricing model is an unlimited number of T3Reports for $1,500 a month with a three-month contract, with special pricing until June 6 of $1,200 a month with three-month contract," he said. "Thanks to faster servers and recoding, we can expedite the processing of data quicker, which allows us to lower the price. Single-domain reports are available, as well."

New features have been added to display affiliate traffic sources and linking origins.

"Not only does the program show the affiliates who are linking to a pay site, it shows who links to the affiliate - their source of traffic - and who they link to," Shalton said. "In looking at who affiliates are linking to, you can get information as to what kind of traffic they have, so you can customize your pitch to them. By seeing their sources of traffic, users can bypass the affiliate if he turns down their offer and go to his sources of traffic."

Shalton said improvements are constantly being made and new features will be added.

"Moving forward, I intend to create the T3Directory," he said. "Affiliates will provide me with all of their contact information so we can, in turn, provide a ?contact' button to affiliate managers within the T3Report, so they can write messages to send to affiliates through us, protecting the contact info of the affiliate. Additionally, the T3Directory will help affiliates because more sponsors will be able to pitch them products to sell, which means the affiliates can wait for offers to come to them."

Shalton said the T3Directory will be rolled out soon.

Fight the copy/paste part deux!

I have been toying with the idea of collecting affiliate contact info and being the trusted source to keep it private, but allow affiliate managers to be able to contact the affiliate through t3report service.

The hardest thing about using t3report is that while we show you where to look for affiliates and some areas to find their contact info, its still a lot of work for them, and sometimes, they can't find the contact info.

I imagine it be like a form the affiliate mgr fills out on t3report, and then we will email the affiliate. If the affiliate wants to reply they can reply directly to the affiliate manager, etc. With this method, the affiliate manager doesn't know the affiliates contact info.

I'll roll out a signup form next week to make that push. For affiliates, this would really help them to allow offers to come to them. No need to search around. Sponsors who want your traffic, because they can infer the kind of traffic you have from T3REport, will be able to present to you their offer, and you can decide to respond to them and signup.

Fight the stay tuned!

Contact me to do a live walkthrough to see the kinds of data that you will use to find good affiliates for your own program.

Fight the bump!

so did anyone try this out yet? I'm curious about customer feedback

MM, can you find all this info as quick as he can on Google or Yahoo?


I think the value is having it all in one place when you are ready to sit down and recruit affiliates, find link backs, etc..

so i am looking for somebody who knows how to handle that software, to use it for me and promote my site ... if you are the one ... contact me and lets see how we can cooperate

Very cute dog!!

seriously, prime example or thread pollution

Where the fuck is Al gore when you really need him..

Fight the Post Whore!

Sorry, but you are quite incorrect.

How many results can you pull up from Google? T3report is real time results as well.

Maybe you should do a demo with me :)


If you think you can do what t3report does with free tools or easy programming, try the following:

- create a report that shows all the websites that link to date.com (past and present) (my database shows 4,128 at this moment)

- for each linking website (ie. affiliates), show all the websites that they promote (ie. their external linkes)

- for each linking website, show all the websites that link to them (ie. their referring web traffic)


there are other things in t3report, but the above it guts of it, since t3report shows you WHERE to look for affiliates.

You could use:

- google with link:date.com but you will only get back the first 1,000 results, and not unique domains. you won't get external links, you would have to spider and parse for yourself.. for the domains that you did pull out, then you can feed back into google with link: and get that next level and spider those websites to get their external

- alexa , you can use AWIS (pay for it) or screen scrape to to get some of the referring domains. you stil need to spider all the domains to get their external


- seo tool sites that have a "link populality" report, but its using alexa data anyways.


T3Report is $1200/month with a 3 month contract. $3600 if prepay and get 4 months.

As an affiliate manager, using t3report rather than attempting to try and re-create it is much easier. You can try to copy by patching together tools and still not getting as much data as 4 years of spidering as i have done.

salesforce doesn't give you the leads, its a CRM. you can use salesforce to manage your email campaign, based on the leads found in T3Report.

T3Report is a tool to help you to find the good affiliates of your competitors.

Using data from thebestporn.com i can bulk load in like all of the VOD, dating, DVD, lesbian, etc sites into customers account. so many people don't know how big the adult space is, and may only know a few competitors.

by looking at these competitors, you can find new affiliates.


A demo takes around 25 minutes. Any affiliate manager wishing to see how this tool can help you gain more traffic for your programs, hit me up on icq or email and we'll do a walkthrough.

Fight the challenge!

Nice to see you in Vegas man! Congrats on the new product.

T3Affiliate Report is the next release. GFY thread here.
