MGID ad spy tool
MGID is a content-recommendation native ad network with strong CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) and tier-2 geo coverage. Mediabuyer.site indexes live MGID creatives daily and exposes them via a free browsing surface — no signup, no paywall.
MGID coverage on the site is curated rather than exhaustive: the corpus prioritises long-running creatives and active advertisers, where the per-record data quality is highest. Every creative carries the advertiser name, the headline, the click-out URL with original parameters preserved, and the landing-page host. The corpus is narrower than Taboola or Outbrain — MGID itself is a smaller surface — but useful for media buyers focused on CEE traffic.
Long-running MGID creatives are particularly informative because longevity on MGID often signals a working tier-2 funnel. The longevity-decile field makes it easy to filter for angles that have stuck. Per-advertiser hubs aggregate every observed creative under a single page so the angle progression is visible at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
- Is mediabuyer.site really free?
- Yes. The browsing surface — every creative, every advertiser hub, every landing-page capture — is publicly viewable without an account. No paywall, no trial countdown, no upgrade prompt. The project is operator-built and runs on its own infrastructure.
- How fresh is the data?
- Crawls run on a daily cadence. New creatives observed in the last crawl appear on the live feed within hours of the next build. Each creative carries first-seen and last-seen timestamps so a researcher can tell whether they are looking at something that started running last week or something that has been live for months.
- Does it require a login or signup?
- No. There is no signup wall. Anyone can open a creative, see its landing page, advertiser, country footprint, and how long it has been running. Saving creatives to a personal watchlist is the only feature that asks for an account, and even that is optional.
- Which native ad networks does it cover?
- Taboola, Outbrain, MGID, and RevContent — the four major content-recommendation networks that place sponsored articles and product cards alongside editorial content on publisher sites. Coverage spans the open web (publisher-side placements), not the social platforms.
- What fields does each creative carry?
- Network, advertiser, headline, thumbnail, click-out URL (with all original parameters preserved), landing-page host, country footprint, vertical, first-seen, last-seen, days-running, longevity decile. The full reference is at /data-dictionary.
