ACBuy Spreadsheet and Source-Identity Guide
Open a practical ACBuy spreadsheet resource, browse twelve product categories, and check visible names, exact domains, page context, and final destinations before treating links as the same source.

Twelve removable index plates from the ACBuy spreadsheet resource. Each plate opens the matching catalog view for further browsing.
Check Each Marker Separately
Before treating a page or link as one source, read each marker on its own — none of them confirms another.
Visible name
The name the page currently displays. What it shows, not what it is.
Exact domain
The real domain, subdomain, and path — read precisely, not from memory.
Page context
The title and surrounding content that say what the page is.
Final destination
Where a link or redirect actually lands after you follow it.
Four matching markers are still only an observation. They cannot automatically prove ownership or an official relationship.
A Look-Alike Is Not an Affiliation
Similar abbreviations, extended names, domains, and titles are not proof of a relationship.
1What a match can tell you
- The two pages look alike.
- They may share a name or a domain pattern.
- A starting point for checking further.
2What a match cannot tell you
- That the two are the same source.
- That one owns, runs, or endorses the other.
- Any official or verified relationship.
Five Slots, No Verified Badge
A static structure for recording what you actually observed about a source.
Identity-reading example — not ownership proof, verification, or a saved lookup.
When the Markers Do Not Line Up
An observation break, not a verdict. A mismatch is a reason to mark the relationship unknown — never to score it true or false.
Baselines out of alignment
Identity-reading example — not ownership proof, verification, or a saved lookup.
Three Guides for Source Identity
Identity Check Guide
Apply the four markers: visible name, exact domain, page context, final destination.
Read the guide → GUIDE 02Domain Context Guide
Read domain, subdomain, path, and the real target after redirects — not spelling similarity.
Read the guide → GUIDE 03Same-Name Boundary Guide
Mark “relationship unknown” when names look alike and stop inferring without evidence.
Read the guide →When the Evidence Runs Out
A look-alike is a signal to stop, not a reason to keep guessing.
- 1
Stop at the mismatch. When markers do not line up, do not smooth over the gap.
- 2
Mark the relationship unknown. Similar names or domains do not settle identity.
- 3
Do not infer from spelling. An abbreviation or an extended name is not proof.
- 4
Confirm at the destination. Only the page you actually land on decides identity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ACBuy spreadsheet?
An ACBuy spreadsheet is a shared document that compiles listing references, category groupings, and product links for use with agent shopping services. It is a pointer to browse and re-check, not an official, live, or complete product catalog.
Is this website the official ACBuy service?
No. This website is an independent informational and navigation resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by ACBuy or Google.
What do the four identity markers mean?
Visible name is what a page currently displays. Exact domain is the real domain, subdomain, and path. Page context is what the title and surrounding content say the page is. Final destination is where a link or redirect actually lands. Each is observed separately.
Do matching names prove two pages are the same source?
No. Four matching markers are only an observation, not proof of ownership or an official relationship. Similar abbreviations, extended names, domains, or titles are not evidence of affiliation on their own.
What should I do when names or domains look similar?
Mark the relationship as unknown. Do not infer an official link from spelling similarity. Stop the inference when the evidence is not enough, and treat the two as separate until they are actually confirmed.
Where do I confirm a link belongs to the same source?
On the destination itself: read the visible name, the exact domain and path, and the page context of the page you actually landed on. The spreadsheet is a starting pointer, not proof of identity.
Open the Sheet, Then Check Each Source
Start from the shared ACBuy spreadsheet resource, browse the categories, and check visible name, exact domain, page context, and final destination before treating any link as one source.
