Cloaking Spy tools

Hey guys,

I am having this problem in which my landers are shown in spy tools.

Any ideas on how to prevent your landers from showing on spy tools like Adplexity? How to protect your landers?

Thanks

If you are running big volumes you can't hide.

My advice. If someone wants to copy you, let them. They'll always be a step behind. Take it as compliment - outbid them, outsmart them and keep on testing and optimizing.

you can obfuscate all front end code so it will be hell to edit it

Thank you for all your replies, but it is not exactly what i am looking for. Is there a way to actually prevent your landers from appearing on spy tools?

If you use Voluum, check your ISP and IP report, you can easily find out some bot activities.
Redirect each bot IP/ISP to an unique fake LP, then check your spy tool tomorrow and see which fake LP they scraped.

Now you know which IP/ISP these spy tools are using.

This way you can block some spy tools successfully, but your Voluum links would still show on some spy tools, so you need to redirect the affiliates who click on your voluum link with other rules.

Are the bots typically the ones that have alot of visits?

I would look for those IP/ISP with very high or low CTR, or a lot of visits without conversion.

For detecting bot traffic, take a one month free trial with Forensiq. They all filter it out.
We do this and drive the traffic to theparkingplace.com so we even still make some money on it (about 30K per year)
