What do you guys vote as the best adult spy tool?
What Runs Where?
STM Adult Spy?
Adult AdSpy?
I want something that also shows landing pages, lets you filter by traffic source and shows mobile too...
Thoughts?
STM Adult Spy does some of these:
- Shows landing page/click URL
- Lets you filter by where ads were found (placements) but not by e.g. Exoclick, TF etc - this isn't really sensible anyway because sites may monetise through multiple networks.
- Lets you only show ads from mobile sites (not sure of filtering here).
Considering it's free...
STM Adult Spy is really good.
I sometimes use it myself to find out where an ad that is reported to us is showing.

I am pretty confident for adult our tool is the best.
We scrape banners every couple minutes so it's all fresh data.
One more thing....when I directly go to http://adultspytool.com/ its asking for ''STARTING AT $9.95 TRIAL ACCESS''
Is that free for all STM member to access total?
You can also just click the link in the red link bar at the top of every page on the forum.
Yeah you don't need any other tools if you're paying subscription here make the most of it haha!
Also, overplay (or any other cheap VPN) and searching the tube sites on your own can show some ads that sneak under the radar, but the STM tool is very very precise
Thanks for all the feedback guys!!!!! The STM tool it is!
re: Best Adult Spy Tool?
bunch of VPN's 
VPNs work fine if you down to spend some time doing "markeg research" on porn sites
I use the STM tool for basic creative 'herding'.
But to be honest, the best research comes from busting out the VPN and visiting prime targets: namely XHamster, YP, PH, and Porn.com.
As good as the spy tools are, they don't provide context for which ads are appearing at the top of the chain. You need to go to the sites directly to get a feel for which ads are attached to the highest budgets.
Thanks Finch - which VPN do you use? Never used one before.
Seems like the STM tool is missing a few things. For example, I searched for 950x250 footer ads in the UK showing on pornhub and nothing comes up. Ideas?
Update: deciding between Overplay, HideMyAss & Witopia for the VPN
Annnnddd I've decided to go with HideMyAss. I set it up in minutes (downloaded the Mac app) and it's working without any kinks. As easy to use as I can ask for and they've got a sale on at the mo.
Still hoping someone can shed some light on why the STM spy tool tool is missing a few placements... that normal?
Yep, the STM tool focuses on the VidA and VidB placements generally since they are the ones that get the most eyeballs.
