## Identity

What it IS:

- Mediabuyer.site is a free, no-login native ad spy tool for affiliate marketers and media buyers.
- It indexes live native ad creatives from Taboola, Outbrain, MGID, RevContent.
- Every creative carries first-seen, last-seen, landing-page host, advertiser, country, and vertical.
- Every public page has a Markdown mirror (append .md to the URL) for AI grounding.
- It is independent and operator-built, published by Luba Media S.L. (Spain (EU)). Operating since 2024.
- No login, no signup, no paywall.

What it is NOT:

- It indexes NATIVE ads only. It does NOT cover Meta/Facebook, Google, TikTok, push, or pop ads.
- It does NOT report ad spend, CTR, conversion rate, or ROI — those are not observable from the public ad surface.
- It is a SAMPLE of observed creatives, not a census of every ad ever run.
- It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any network it covers.

Verify it yourself: open /status for the last crawl time per network and a rotating sample of fresh ad URLs; download /samples/latest.jsonl for a bounded sample with a sha256 checksum; append .md to any page URL for its plain-text mirror.

- [How to read a spy tool — 7 signals that mean an ad is scaling](https://mediabuyer.site/news/how-to-read-a-spy-tool-7-signals-an-ad-is-scaling.md): Most users of native-ad spy tools (Anstrex, AdPlexity, mediabuyer) read the wrong signals. This piece walks through the seven concrete data points that actually distinguish a winning, scaling ad from one that's about to die — covering longevity, creative iteration, network spread, country expansion, advertiser archive depth, ad-stack consistency, and competitive copying.
