// About

Godotoro shows a brand what happens in its paid-search space and where its codes have gone.

What it is

Godotoro is a set of tools for affiliate and partnership managers, paid-search managers and the agencies that work with them. The free checker comes first: type a store's address and see who bid on its voucher searches this week, which ads show its address, and which coupon extensions and voucher sites list its codes.

How the data is gathered

Three sources, each read as it stands.

Google UK

We search google.co.uk from UK addresses, on desktop, for each brand's discount code, voucher code and promo code searches and its bare name, and record every ad as it showed.

Ads Transparency Center

We read Google's own Ads Transparency Center for each brand's address in the United Kingdom: which advertisers it lists, whether Google has verified them, how many ads and when they showed.

Extensions and voucher sites

We read what 15 coupon extensions and voucher sites list for each store, from their own listings.

What we never do

Three things we don't do, whoever asks.

Click an ad

A click costs the advertiser money. We record who ran an ad and how it read, without clicking it.

Show a full code

We keep codes in full so we can count each one once and match a brand's own. Every page shows only the first letters and the length.

Call it anything but what was seen

We describe what was observed: who, where, when and how it read. What that means under a brand's own terms is for the brand to decide.

Independence

Kept apart from every other business.

Separate systems

Godotoro runs on its own database, servers, email and accounts. It shares none of them with any other business.

No customer data out

What a brand gives us, its keywords, terms, codes and alerts, stays with that brand. No other business can read it.

No partner data in

We don't use data that an affiliate network or any other business holds for its own purposes. A brand's terms come from the brand.

Every advertiser alike

Every voucher site, cashback site and retailer is shown, counted and filed the same way, whoever runs it.
