Find new traffic related to your target market! (great for PPV)
In simplified terms this tool:
- can tell you where other affiliates get there traffic from
- target where you can run the offer that will possibly yield good results
It's great for finding new URLs that may not have come up during your url scraping.
I think it's in beta, free for now..

Yeah already signed up and testing 
Not much data yet but I am curious to see the outcome
anyone know how this actually works?
im slightly hesitant to just place someone's code on my landing pages 
I'm pretty sure it uses a known browser bug that uses CSS/JS to read your browser history.
hmm. i thought that had been plugged in current browsers. i havent installed this myself yet - but here is the original site & script that allows you to read browser history.

Imagine rather then putting this on your lander - putting it on your thank you page!!
Thats wicked. This tool will probably become paid pretty soon.
and the landing page idea is brilliant. for your own sales/offers.
doesnt matter when it becomes paid....here is the open source script developed by the guy who originally spotted this 'hole'

re: placing it on the thank you page
some networks allow you to use iframes as a conversion pixel (ie hasoffers) - you can setup a small html file on your own server which you submit to these as an iframe.
the html file will include the different tracking pixels
can someone explain to me what is this tool about, cant seem to understand how it works in layman terms and from technical perspective
simple explanation: for certain users (depending on their browser) it is able to check whether they have visited a particular site. for example, you can test each user to see whether they have visited 1 of the top 500 sites on the web.
technical:
browsers colour links differently when you have already visited them then when you havnt (ie puple for visited, blue for not). you can also with a bit of javascript read the current colour of a link. so add the links to top 500 siters in a page, and use javascript to check whether they have been visited.
this does not work on all browsers, but is something that clearly still works.
here is a description of how the code works

this is perfect for direct to site buys 
thanks!
This is awesome! Just added it to my landing pages - really excited to see the results tomorrow!
So I've been playing with this tool over the last couple hours and I think I've found a cool way to discover internal site links that convert really well. Let me explain:
On my first test I selected the top Traffic Vance URLs that are provided by RelatedTraffic.com - I noticed that a lot of my traffic was also visiting ArmorGames.com (http://armorgames.com/). Well, I know from earlier tests that this site generates conversions but the ROOT URL wasn't profitable for me (just below breaking even). With that being said, if you look at the website you can see that they have a TON of different free games, and game categories - meaning that there are a lot of different demographics that come to this site all for different reason (different games).
What I did was use the AffExpert Domain expander and scraped ~200 internal Armor Games URLS - stuff like: http://armorgames.com/category/arcade
I then created a custom list within Related Traffic and I can now see WHICH games my (already profitable) users are also playing on ArmorGames.com. Once I've got enough data I will target those 3-5 URLs that I know people who are hitting my landing page also visit.
I'm still waiting on more data, but I'm willing to bet that some of these internal URLS will be money makers for me.
This saves me from dumping those 200 URLS into TV to see which one may/may not convert.
Just wanted to share that!
Nice work Canopus!
The only problem I see with the tool is that regardless of your target, it seems to always report back the same URL's... i.e. armor games as mentioned above. Still undecided on this, I ran it on some of our biz opp URL's for our business and regardless of the site I put in different groups, most of the time the data was almost the same with the top 50 most visited sites almost being identical every time, whether your targeting biz opp, gaming, dating... whatever.
hum... wanted to try this tool but getting the "The connection has timed out". anyone else having this problem?
Can anyone give steps on how to use this tool ? I have problems like..
1) Grab the code snippit and put it into your web page..where to find this code snippit ??
I am not a tehnical savvy..
2) How to put my offer url for using this tool to track...etc
Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks.
hmm, seems like the code adds a lot of stuff to your lander, including pop-under shit.. I think I'm going to look into implementing sth like this myself, thnx for the link tijn!
tijn, can you post the open source code here?
There's no link to download from that guy's blog.
