Ad spy tools are divided by the kind of traffic: a Facebook ads spy tool is one thing, a spy tool for push notifications is another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, there are more or less universal tools that collect several ad formats in one spy tool. For example, in Adplexity, you can spy on push, pops, native, mobile, desktop, e-commerce, carriers, and enterprise. But even on this occasion, all advertising streams are separated for the convenience of the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ad spy tools can be divided into free and paid ones. As a rule, the only thing you can find in a free spy tool is an ad itself and <a href=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/pre-landing-page-examples-for-leading-verticals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"landing page\">landing page<\/a>. There is not a wide variety of filters there: country or ad network and sometimes keys \u2014 these are all filters that can be found in a free spy tool. But this is still a good option for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paid tools are expanding their toolkit to provide more opportunities, and therefore more information. So, no wonder that the best ad spy tools for internet marketers are always paid ones.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-spy-tools-1024x550.png\" alt=\"What are ad spy tools in affiliate marketing?\" class=\"wp-image-19042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-spy-tools-1024x550.png 1024w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-spy-tools-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-spy-tools-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/affiliate-marketing-spy-tools.png 1190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">What filters can be found in ad spying tools?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, these are various filters that help you find exactly what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The most common filters in spy tools are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Country,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advertising network,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affiliate program,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vertical,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration of the advertising campaign,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The amount of traffic received,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Language of a creative\/ landing page,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Device,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keywords,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>URL,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Active or inactive ads,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating system,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/spying-on-ads-1024x477.jpg\" alt=\"What filters can be found in ad spying tools?\" class=\"wp-image-19044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/spying-on-ads-1024x477.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/spying-on-ads-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/spying-on-ads-768x358.jpg 768w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/spying-on-ads-1536x716.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/richads.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/spying-on-ads.jpg 1875w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important things that affiliates are looking for in spy tools are ready-made creatives and landing pages that convert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plan is usually simple:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sort the best examples of creatives and landing pages,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>download them,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>change something,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and launch a successful ad campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, about the &#8220;change,&#8221; some spy services, for example, Anstrex, have a built-in tool for editing landing pages before download.

But will this practice be profitable? At first glance, yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check for how long the ad campaign was run and make sure that it has not been disabled, which means the campaign is profitable. In some spy tools, you can also check how much traffic it got from launching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But let\u2019s look at the problem of the identical creatives or banners from the perspective of a potential audience. A person periodically receives or sees the same ad from time to time. You know what comes next: the effect called \u201cbanner blindness\u201d when a person ignores the ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong>You should not take ready-made creatives and landing pages from spy tools. Most likely, many users have already seen them and will ignore them. Find a cool option and use the idea in your own way.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How can an affiliate marketer deal with it? Take ideas from a spy service, but slightly modify them. This applies to both creatives and landing pages. Use similar pictures, but change texts a little. The main thing is not to use exactly the same ones.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"richads-button-block_e88c0a1d4dd548c542b3589bc0ea8e51\" class=\"richads-button-custom\">\n    <div class=\"row\" style=\"margin: 50px 0;\">\n        <div class=\"col-12 p-0 text-center\">\n            <a target=\"_blank\" \n                href=\"https:\/\/my.richads.com\/signup\" \n                class=\"text-center d-block rbtn rbtn-size-l rbtn-red\" \n                style=\"width: 100%;\" aria-label=\"Launch ad campaigns on RichAds&#8217; traffic!\">\n                Launch ad campaigns on RichAds&#8217; traffic!            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center single-info-blue has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">What is RichAds?<br>Ad network for telegram ads,<br>high quality push and popunder ads,<br>domain redirect, native and display traffic source,<br>buy push ads at $0.005 (CPC), pop ads at $0.5 (CPM),<br>domain ads costs start from $1.5 (CPM), native ads \u2014 from $0.001 (CPC),<br>ad network offers large volumes of traffic in more than 200 geos from Tier 3 to Tier 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Best Affiliate Marketing Spy Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we got to the main point \u2014 the best ad spy tools for internet marketers.
