The T3Report, under parent company Cydata Services, creates a report that reveals linking relationships between websites by using the summation of independent spidering of the adult online sector. A typical T3Report is run on a sponsor/paysite domain where the report reveals affiliate websites and from which affiliates receive their traffic.
For example, a T3Report can be ordered for a competitor domain in order to locate potentially good affiliates for new traffic sources. Additionally, receiving a T3Report about a company’s own domain can reveal underperforming affiliates who may have good linking sources of traffic to them.
The report also creates a “T3Flow statistic,” providing a quick method of judging an affiliate’s performance in sending traffic from its sources to the sponsor program, Shalton said. Version 2.0 provides real time access to T3Report data, rather than a compiled monthly report with weekly data updates. The new version includes a new “notes” feature and new enhancements such as a contact button for each domain the report lists for retrieving any email address found on the website and a snapshot image of the website to view without having to visit the site.
“Every time we do a walkthrough with a customer on their ordered T3Report, they are amazed at the amount of data revealed in the report to help their affiliate managers spot good affiliates to entice into their program,” Cydata CEO Brandon Shalton said.
Shalton also said that a new report, called the T3Affiliate Report, is due out by the end of December. The report will be geared specifically toward sponsor programs, revealing all pages on an affiliate website that have links to the sponsor along with all pages that are not linked to the sponsor.
Additionally, each page will feature summary statistics that reveal direct linking relationships to specific pages. A keyword overlay will allow highlighting of specific pages on affiliates’ websites and on their referring traffic that uses the desired keyword, in order to find “qualified” traffic for that keyword/niche.
“Affiliate managers can contact their affiliate and literally suggest to them what specific pages their link should be on to maximize the traffic exposure to the program,” Shalton said.
T3Report is currently available for purchase at an annual rate of $349 per domain, though the company is offering a “buy two, get one free” special until Dec. 31. T3Reports for the adult online sector also can be ordered by visiting the website. Shalton said pricing and availability for the T3Affiliate Report would be released by the end of December.
