How to spot affiliate competition?

[sl5]

I am in the process to launch a datafeed affiliate site. While doing some niche competition research - it is easy to spot your merchant's competition, but I am more interested to see what my merchant affiliates (= my direct competitors) do.

Anyone has ideas how to find other merchant affiliates?

It depends on the affiliate program. Inhouse are fairly easy to spot by the links. Others are more difficult. Might want to search for the products and the links in the same query.

If there is a datafeed there is probably competition. Probably fairly good comp too.
