Although I say that you can connect website ownership through analytics and advertising code, in truth the best you can do is garner some evidence that websites sharing such code MIGHT be connected. Of course if the sites share such code, typically the likelihood that they are connected is much higher than the likelihood that they aren’t.
Other disclaimers:
- The sites listed below have other functions
- There are other ways to find sites which are probably owned by the same company or person
OK, with those disclaimers out of the way, let’s take a look of some free and paid tools that allow you to find sites that share analytics and/or advertising code.
Adsspy.com (Paid Service)
AdSpy connects analytics and advertising codes
Adsspy is one of the more robust solutions to finding website connections through analytics and advertising code. It checks all sites from the SeoDigger index for Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Yahoo Publish Network, Chitika or Amazon.com codes.
According to AdsSpy it knows much more than that though – as of today the AdsSpy site states that it has the following in its database:
- 3 395 131 IDs!
- Google AdSense : 770+ thousand sites
- Google Analytics : 620+ thousand sites
- AdBrite : 25+ thousand sites
- Chitika : 7 thousand sites
- Yahoo Partner Network : 5+ thousand sites
- Kontera : 2+ thousand sites
- Amazon Context : 3+ thousand sites
- IntelliTXT : 35 sites
OwnerSpy.com (Paid Service)
From the OwnerSpy.com website:
“OwnerSpy.com is world’s most complete public database of trackable site IDs that webmasters are using at their sites. Currently we save ip addresses, Adsense IDs, Yahoo YPN IDs, Google Analytics IDs and some other less common signatures of over 5 millions most popular websites on the Internet. If you have any suggestions regarding expasion of id database please feel free to contact us with your suggestion.”
SpyOnWeb.com (Free Service)
SpyOnWeb is similar to Adsspy but only tracks relationships between sites thru Google analytics and Google adsense codes. The other big difference is that SpyOnWeb is free at this point whereas AdsSpy is not. However, even based on Google analytics and Google adsense alone, my experience has been that AdsSpy will often find website connections that SpyOnWeb doesn’t have.
