Finding Owners of (Network) Websites - Competition Analysis

- I want to analyse the top-20 results within Google Search for my keyword (within the igaming niche).

- And mark down for each result who is the owner of the site.

- I believe that within the top-20 results for my keyword, there are sites part of a network belonging to the same owner.

- The competitors use re-used / expired domains.

How can find this information, any footprints left, how they are connected, etc.?

Many thanks!

Use ahrefs and whoisdomains

if your competitor is doing it right, you can't really find out,
check the website(s) IPs, whois, ads.txt, public contact information, etc...
or you can attempt to contact one of the website(s) directly, if you have a good reason to do so

WHOIS is blocking the contact details of the domain owner nowadays. If there are same Class C IPs, that would tell me that they are part of a network. If the owner is doing a proper job, each site will have a unique IP address. How to get to their public contact information, like contact details on there site?

In case of affiliate sites, if the different sites using the same affiliate ID. that could be another footprint. Do you know any tool to unmask the /visit/ link in order to get their affiliate tracker?

Thanks!
