Adflex Cross-Network Ad Trends Index
A transparent first-page discovery sample showing how five commercial research themes were distributed across source networks in Adflex Mega Search.
Sample collected September 2, 2026 at 12:32 CEST. Aggregate, non-customer data only.
Study frame
Small enough to reproduce, specific enough to audit
5commercial research queries
18first-page results per query
5source labels surfaced
0exact cross-query duplicates
This is a discovery index, not market share. The sample describes the first page returned for these exact queries at one point in time. It does not estimate spend, total ad volume, conversion performance, or complete network coverage.
Source distribution
Facebook dominated this sample, but category shape mattered
Source labels are reported exactly as Mega Search returned them. Adflex currently exposes Meta and Facebook as separate source categories, so this report keeps them separate.

Three patterns worth testing with a larger sample
Smart rings were more balanced
“Smart ring” split across Pinterest (8), Facebook (7), and YouTube (3), the closest three-way distribution in the sample.
Pet cameras crossed four labels
“Pet camera” surfaced Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and Meta—the widest source-label spread among the five queries.
Query-level data
Every count behind the chart
Each query was run alone with all source categories available and Newest sorting. Only the first 18 results were counted.

Methodology
How the sample was collected and deduplicated
Collection
- Queries: smart ring, AI video generator, red light therapy, pet camera, and portable blender.
- One query was active at a time; prior filters were cleared before the next search.
- All Mega Search source categories remained available.
- Sorting was Newest; only page 1, up to 18 ads, was recorded.
- The collection timestamp was September 2, 2026 at 12:32 CEST.
Duplicate rule and limits
- An exact duplicate means the same source-platform label plus the same Adflex ad ID.
- All 90 observed pairs were unique across the five query result sets.
- Creative variants, reuploads, and semantically similar ads were not manually clustered.
- No claim is made about unobserved pages, spend, reach, performance, or platform-wide share.
- Results are live and can change as ads are added, updated, or removed.
Product context: Adflex publicly reports 184M+ unique ads indexed, 1M+ new unique ads added daily after duplicate removal, and nine supported ad-network categories. Those platform-wide figures were not used to calculate this 90-ad sample.
This report was produced by Adflex from aggregate product output. It contains no customer contact, account, billing, or private campaign data.
