Analyze website traffic, engagement, and traffic sources for any domain. Goes beyond
raw data — scores the domain, interprets what the traffic patterns mean for affiliate
promotion, and recommends whether the program is worth your time.
A tool returns numbers. This skill returns a verdict.
Use cases:
Is this affiliate program's website healthy? (High traffic = more brand awareness = easier conversions)
Where does a competitor get their traffic? (Find channels they're ignoring)
Compare 2-3 affiliate programs by advertiser website strength
Validate a niche by checking traffic to the top programs in it
Stage
This skill belongs to Stage S1: Research
When to Use
Before committing to promote an affiliate program — check if the advertiser is legit
When comparing multiple programs — traffic is a proxy for brand strength
When competitor-spy identifies competitor sites — analyze their traffic sources
When evaluating a niche — check if the top programs have healthy traffic
When an advertiser claims "millions of users" — verify with data
Input Schema
domains:string[]# (required) 1-5 domains to analyze — "heygen.com", "synthesia.io"compare:boolean# (optional, default: true if 2+ domains) Side-by-side comparisonfocus:string# (optional, default: "affiliate") # "affiliate" — score from promoter perspective# "competitor" — analyze as a competitor site# "advertiser" — evaluate advertiser health
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Traffic Data
With SimilarWeb API (see shared/references/social-data-providers.md):
If social_data_config.similarweb is configured:
Call SimilarWeb API for each domain
Returns: global rank, country rank, visits, pages/visit, avg duration, bounce rate, traffic sources
Without API (web_search fallback):
For each domain:
web_search "[domain] traffic similarweb" → often shows rank and visit estimates in snippets
web_search "[domain] site traffic statistics" → third-party reports
web_search "site:[domain]" → Google index count as proxy for content depth
web_search "[domain] alexa rank" OR "[domain] semrush traffic" → alternative sources
web_fetch "https://www.similarweb.com/website/[domain]/" → extract visible data from SimilarWeb free page (may be limited)
Note: web_search data is approximate. SimilarWeb API provides exact metrics.
Step 2: Analyze Core Metrics
For each domain, analyze and interpret:
Traffic Volume:
global_rank:number# Lower = better. <10K = major site, <100K = solid, <1M = nichecountry_rank:number# Rank in primary countrymonthly_visits:string# "1.2M", "350K", "45K"visits_trend:string# "growing" | "stable" | "declining" (if historical data available)
**What This Means for You:**
[2-3 sentences interpreting metrics for the user's focus — affiliate/competitor/advertiser]

### [If comparing 2+ domains]
### Head-to-Head: [domain1] vs [domain2]
| Metric | [domain1] | [domain2] | Winner |
|--------|-----------|-----------|--------|
| Traffic Score | XX/100 | XX/100 | [domain] |
| Monthly Visits | X.XM | XXK | [domain] |
| Engagement | X.X pg/visit | X.X pg/visit | [domain] |
| Brand Strength | XX% direct | XX% direct | [domain] |
| SEO | XX% search | XX% search | [domain] |

Error Handling
No API and web_search returns limited data: Present what's available. Note: "Limited data available via web search. For accurate metrics, configure SimilarWeb API — see shared/references/social-data-providers.md." Still provide estimated score.
Domain not found / too new: Note: "[domain] has insufficient traffic data. This could mean: (1) very new site, (2) very low traffic, (3) data not yet indexed. This is itself useful information — proceed with caution." Score: 10/100.
Domain is a subdomain: Analyze the root domain instead. Note the adjustment.
More than 5 domains requested: Analyze top 5, suggest running again for the rest.
SimilarWeb API rate limited: Fall back to web_search for remaining domains.
Examples
Example 1:
User: "Is HeyGen worth promoting? Check their traffic."
→ domain: "heygen.com", focus: "affiliate"
→ SimilarWeb or web_search → Global rank: ~15K, 2.1M monthly visits
→ Score: 82/100 — "Excellent. HeyGen has strong traffic with healthy engagement. 35% direct traffic shows strong brand recognition. Your referral links benefit from existing brand awareness."
→ Next: affiliate-program-search for HeyGen commission details
Example 2:
User: "Compare Notion vs ClickUp vs Monday.com traffic for my productivity niche"
→ domains: ["notion.so", "clickup.com", "monday.com"]
→ Analyze all 3, side-by-side comparison
→ Winner: Notion (highest traffic, best engagement)
→ But: ClickUp has highest referral % (12%) = strongest affiliate ecosystem → may convert better
Example 3:
User: "I found this small SaaS tool — screenpal.com. Is the advertiser legit?"
→ domain: "screenpal.com", focus: "advertiser"
→ Global rank: ~180K, ~300K monthly visits
→ Score: 55/100 — "Fair. Niche tool with moderate traffic. Growing steadily. Low paid traffic (2%) suggests bootstrapped. Engagement is good (3.8 pages/visit). Worth promoting if commission is strong, but don't expect brand-name conversion rates."
Feedback & Issue Reporting
When this skill produces unexpected, incomplete, or incorrect output, generate a
skill_feedback block (see shared/references/feedback-protocol.md for full schema).
Skill-specific failure modes:
Domain not found in SimilarWeb: Very new or very small site. Report as data_quality, note domain.
All metrics null from web_search: No traffic data findable. Report as data_quality, severity: medium.
Traffic score seems wrong: Score doesn't match known reality (e.g., Google.com scored 40/100). Report as wrong_output.
Auto-detect triggers:
traffic_score is 0 or null for a well-known domain
All traffic_sources percentages are null
Comparison requested but only 1 domain returned data
