Question about Widget ID's....

Hi, i have a maybe uncommon question about widget ids...


Once i have a domain and a widget id...


Is there a way to search on this particular website after this widget? So that i can see, what content this is about?



Thanks

If you are good with reading a page's code, you can technically do it. Buuutt... the thing is that it requires quite some manual work and it's not that efficient, unless you are looking to target a specific website and are lucky enough to get a campaign on a single widget ID. Something virtually impossible nowadays.

My suggestion would be to go the other way about this.

Once you have a widget ID you want to know more about, simply enter it on a spy tool like Adplexity Native and see what type of ads are running there.

Ok thanks for the tip,

unfortunately i have only anstrex now.

Is there a way in anstrex too, to search after widget ids? I just wanted to make sure, that the content on the widget id is relevant to the offer i want to run on it...

Tbh, I don’t know. Ive found myself comfortable with Adplexity and have never changed it in years.

Kind of...

Anstrex will let you search by URL chains. As most trackers will try to get the site ID or widget ID as part of the incoming URL, it should be in there. I will emphasis, should. Of course, it will also pick up every other instance of a URL chain that contains the same string. So if it appears in a creative ID, part of the click ID, affiliate ID, etc. then those will appear in the results as well.

It sounds like you are going to try and build a whitelist to run on? I'm not sure that is the best approach. Either get one from your rep at the TS or build your own.
