*Sniff* *Sniff* Sniff Out Your Competitors Angles for FREE Without Using Spy Tools!
Hey Guys,
Thought I would post a method I have been using for a while to find converting angles from other affiliates.
Disclaimer: Use your own judgment on what angles you think are appropriate. I'm going to show you how to find the angles that aggressive affiliates use.
Step 1: Pick an offer to research an angle for. In this example we will use sweeps offer for "Win an iPhone 6". These are hot right now because of the recent 6S release.
Step 2: Google "Offer name + scams" "Offer name + reviews" "Offer name + rip off"
Step 3: Identify the most aggressive angles / landers
Step 4: Dig DEEPER! Google the angle or ad copy and find other competitors landers
So many affiliates complain about their campaigns / landers getting jacked, yet most don't even bother stopping Google from indexing their landers....That is sloppy affiliate marketing!
Step 5: Search specific elements to find even more landers. For example take a comment from the comments section of the lander and Google it or take a profile pic from the comments section and use Google's reverse image search.
How to Put it All Together
Now you know what the most aggressive angles are for this offer. You also have probably found 5-10 variations of similar landers that you can test. Take the best elements of all the landers you have found and put together your own lander. If your not an aggressive affiliate, figure out how you can take the most aggressive angle and dumb it down until it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol.
Last Tip:
Read all the blogs, articles on these consumer rip off sites. Why? because often the writer goes into detail on how they figured out the promotion was bs. This may give you an idea if a lander has gimmicky ad copy or point out a major flaw in a trending lander everyone is using. It's surprising what you will find that may be making a popular lander flop on its face. Things like spelling mistakes, loading errors, wrong language used, poor translation, etc.
Hopefully this helps out all affiliates but I think it will be really helpful to those who are on a budget and maybe can't afford a spy tool. (Don't worry we have all been there)

Great post - and I'm definitely more on the warm and fuzzy end of the affiliate world 
There's only one thing better than learning from your mistakes - learning from other peoples' mistakes.
On a similar note, if you know of a particularly large placement you're going to target, check and see if they have a forum, FB page or other community. Forums are best. If they do, check if there are threads talking about the ads that run on the site. You can often get invaluable information on what will and won't work for a specific audience that way.
(Obviously, this is only worth doing if the placement's large enough to run solo or do a direct buy on.)
love it!
thanks!
Great tuto.
I've used this method a lot for AV and found some very good angles
Hey and thanks for the post.
Can you please define what a "aggressive angle" exactly means? I hear about it a lot but can't really find an answer as to what it means and how you use it to your advantage.
Thank you in advance

Ah right... misleading is aggressive
Those logically should convert the best but how many offers are there really out there that allow misleading/scanning/you have a virus type of marketing?
I'm not a pro and haven't seen thousands of ads but I have seen quite a few in the last couple of months and non of them allowed such banners/landers and others required approval.
Where do people find such offers to be so aggressive? Less popular networks?

So you can only spot angles from aggressive affiliates that are unprofessional enough to get their landing pages indexed?
Don't get me wrong, great advice. I'm just curious how many big affiliates are out there you want to copy AND do not get it noindexed.
