1. Ad scraping business. We scrap ads and expose the bad guys.
Let me tell you there are many bad guys injecting bad just because the ad exchanges do not care. Most of them do it because "no one would know". So, we just scrap ads and put them on display.
2. We sell a subscription to our service where we charge $200-400 month for access to this data. Many malware researchers, ad agencies, regulators are subscribed to our data set.
3. It's a private business, high 5 figure revenue. Scraping cost per customer is $10
