I'm looking at sites that are potential competitors in my niche. I see many instances where they have linked another site in the text of their blog say, www.merchantsite.com. In some cases, if I hover the mouse over this link, I can see an affiliate code string in the bottom left hand corner of the screen on one of the bottom toolbars. In other cases, it just looks like a a free direct (a hyperlink I think it's called?).
How can see if these are publishers that are sending people to www.merchantsite.com as a affiiate (versus just out of the goodness of their hearts)? And is there a way to see what network (I know in some cases I've been able to see clickbank and doubleclick - now known as GANS).
