(first of all, congrats on your move to xbangcash.com as the affiliate manager!!!)
I'll break it down like this: If you ordered a report on your website LateNightHookups.com, it would show you the affliliates that we have found. You can get this same information from your weblogs in checking your referrers, so no big deal so far.
In looking at your affiliate stats, you already know who the top affiliates are based on payouts.
What you may not have known is that some of your affiliates that are sending you trickle traffic, could potentially be sending you more traffic.
The T3report will then show you where each of your affiliates (first level connections) are sending their traffic (ie. external links to other programs other than to LateNightHookups.com) as well as showing where they get their traffic from.
The report allows you to drill down and you can see all of the domains and URLs that send traffic to affiliates.
Using this information, you can do some qualitative analysis to see that with lots of links leading to them, they could have alot of potential traffic. Looking at where they are sending their traffic shows they are promoting other programs and niches. You could then contact that affiliate and entice them to promote you more.
Before t3report, you would dismiss affiliate webmasters that had low traffic counts and only focus on the ones that had higher ones. What you may not have reliazed until now, is those affiliates could have goldmines of traffic, they just aren't promoting you as much.
Another way to use the t3report, is order a report on whoever is a competitor to your niche website. Look at their affiliates, and look at where the affiliates get their traffic so you can figure out who you want to contact first. Contact the affiliate webmaster and suggest that if they are promoting that niche, why not promote another website in the same niche?
Makes sense to an affiliate webmaster if they are promoting in a niche, and have traffic that comes to them for that niche, to promote other programs that might convert better for them.
Fight the HookUps!
