Hijacking Report

Black hat affiliates and competitors are constantly trying to stay one step ahead of your detection efforts. We trump them again with the Trademark Insight Hijacking Report. This powerful tool specifically identifies those advertisers who are trying to pass themselves off as you!

Find Advertisers Who Try To Look Like You

For years, our reports have helped identify other advertisers who bid on our clients terms or use those trademarks in their ad copy. But what about those who try to sneak under the radar by using your domain name in their ad copy?

Our new Hijacking Report is designed to find them. It filters the universe of ads down to those which display your domain name. Then it scans their landing page URLs and filters out any query parameters or other text ("character strings") which you specifically define as being safe (an example might be a query string parameter which you put in your landing page URLs, such as "official=true". This is just an example - you would preferably choose something harder to guess.)

What remains are only those affiliates who are trying to pass themselves off as the official site. Our clients have already busted hundreds of black hat partners who have been intentionally violating their affiliate agreements. See the screenshots below to see exactly how this works!

(Note: This report isn't just limited to affiliates. In certain industries, such as pharmaceuticals, other advertisers are allowed to use any domain they want in the ad copy. This exception makes it very difficult to spot these advertisers without an automated tool like the Hijacking Report.)
