Show HN: Find your competitor's Websites
- quizotic 8y agoNot getting this at all! How does it help find competitive websites?
- aarreedd 8y agoA lot of times people will use the same Google Analytics or Adsense code on multiple sites. This lets you find all the sites a particular code is used on.
- nkristoffersen 8y agoSeems like bad practice. Do a lot of people do that? Why would I share the same GA code between all of my sites? It would taint my analytics data and make the analytics worthless, no?
- netzone 8y agoAnd the places where this happens a lot (ads for example) is completely useless for this.
- aarreedd 8y agoGoogle analytics tags look like this: UA-1234567-1 For each site the last digit increments. We only use the part that stays the same. However it is fairly easy to get actually unique GA codes under the same account. But many people do not do that. With AdSense you cannot get a different publisher ID unless you set up a whole new account.
- londons_explore 8y agoThis should check other basic things, for eaxmple: * Hosted on the same IP * Shares nameservers * Shares an SSL certificate * Same whois info.
- aarreedd 8y agoThat is a great idea and something we definitely hope to add in the future.
- dkoston 8y agoBe wary of shared SSL. For example, sites on Cloudflare often share SSL carts but are not owned by the same person. You may have to blacklist certs with Cloudflare CNs to avoid false positives.
- aarreedd 8y agoSame with IP addresses and nameservers. Unrelated sites could share the same nameserver or IP address. But if you have a number of those factors match up then two sites are likely related.
- jam3sn 8y agoUsing Laravel Spark right?
- aarreedd 8y agoYup. Highly recommend.
- tarr11 8y agoI tried typing amazon.com, and was shown studios.amazon.com Feels like it needs some work...
