Reverse engineering affiliate traffic – Part I

Reverse Engineering Affiliate Traffic – Part I:

I’m going to go through what I know about reverse engineering affiliate traffic. I’m always learning new tricks and techniques in this area, so comment away with your own ideas.

Product to Analyze for Affiliate Traffic

I’m going to use The Rich Janitor product because it seems to be extremely popular right now with an overall Alexa ranking of under 10,000 and U.S. Traffic rank of 4,473:

Just so we’re clear, I am NOT recommending The Rich Janitor product. In fact I found NUMEROUS red-flags on it’s sales page as you can see in the video below:

However, because the Rich Janitor product has remained popular for a decent amount of time and because I’ve already had some experience researching the product I’ve picked it as the subject of these posts.

Techniques for Identifying Affiliate Traffic

I’m somewhat “organizing on the fly” so, I’ll add to this section as needed. I’ll approach from two different angles:

  • Identifying affiliates in order to locate traffic they are sending.
  • Identifying traffic in order to locate affiliates

Obviously there’s an interplay between those two angles and each one feeds the other.
