Friday, March 13th, 2009CPA Profits: How to avoid the dreaded “Google Slap”
Monday, March 9th, 2009It is one of the most horrible feelings you can have.
Your CPA campaign in Google Adwords has been humming along, churning out leads for a pittance when one morning you log into Adwords and find out that, overnight, your 17 cent bids are now costing you $17.
Ouch.
You’ve been “Google slapped.”
Often, you don’t even know what you did wrong, and emails to Google reps are often mere exercises in frustrations, as they quote arcane regulations and send you general links that never answer your question … or solve the problem. (I just wrestled with THAT one this morning … sheesh.)
WHY did I get Google slapped, and HOW do I keep it from happening again?
Worse … once you get slapped, who knows how long (maybe forever) your ENTIRE ACCOUNT will be saddled with the “slapped” badge of shame … and higher bid costs on EVERY keyword you submit.
Double ouch.
Solution:
Don’t get Google slapped in the first place
Here is a great free 12 minute video by a CPA professional who shares exactly how he designs his website to prevent the Google slap.

Shocking Comparison: PPC Bully vs. Google Cash Detective 2
Monday, March 9th, 2009In a shocking admission that his own software may not quite be able to withstand the March 10 launch power of Google Cash Detective 2, PPC Bully inventor Emil Paz recently offered up his own comparison of the two Adwords competitive intelligence tools.
PPC Competitive Intelligence Spy Tool Smackdown
While both have their advantages, it appears that the teeming crowds may be leaning waaaaay towards the “Google Cash Detective 2″ side and putting pressure on PPC Bully to respond. Point of reference — I have used both tools, so I am not just talking out of my hat.
Here are a few quick quotes from Emil about his PPC Bully software:
“There is a lot of hype lately around GCDetective. I got few questions from people asking me if GCDetective is better or not Vs. PPC Bully…”
“Behind GCDetective stands a true myth, Chris Carpenter. Chris is an Excellent Affiliate Marketer, I do appreciate him a lot, In fact when I first started in Affiliate Marketing I used to read Chris eBook “Google Cash”. It helped me a lot and very fast I turned to be an affiliate marketer myself.”
So kudos to Emil for not trashing a fellow competitor, not something you see much in the marketing world — a man of honor.
Emil goes on to state the differences between PPC Bully ad Google Cash Detective 2, as he sees them:
Google Cash Detective 2 or PPC Bully?
“If you hesitate to decide and consider getting your hands on GCDetective, you should know that GCDetective:
1. Supports USA only (which is a huge market)
2. You can use only the keywords in the Database (there are many KW there)
3. It Costs! (a high setup fee + $100/mo)
There are of course enough benefits in GCDettective and I believe it will be worth the pay. As long as you’ll decide to take action it will help you!”
In many ways, I think he accurately sums up the benefits of his own PPC Bully compared to Google Cash Detective 2.
PPC BULLY ADVANTAGES
- Much simpler interface, can use immediately
- PPC Bully supports 20+ countries
- PPC Bully can run campaigns in Japanese and French without even understanding the languages
- PPC Bully is cheaper ( ~ $49/month 500 keywords)
CONS: Keyword limits, must wait 2-3 weeks for data, no link of output to Adwords
GOOGLE CASH DETECTIVE 2 ADVANTAGES
- Immediate results from keywords already in database
- Google Automator interface transfer research to Adwords, PLUS monitors bids for highest ROI.
- Wildcard searches let you X-ray virtually any campaign, strips Clickbank hoplinks down to the bone to reveal EVERY person who runs a particular product campaign, etc
CONS: Expensive, not a toy, requires learning curve (training videos available), USA data only, limited to data already gathered (searches more as keywords are entered), not cheap.
In summation, Google Cash Detective 2 is a heavyweight professional PPC campaign tool with features and functionality far beyond anything else on the market. However, you will pay for it.
If you are a serious PPCer who knows how to make money with Adwords (or intend to be), this will just enhance your capabilities by making sure you ONLY target markets, keywords, and ads with a high chance of success.
PPC Bully gives you a small portion of this capability, but is much cheaper. If you are just getting your feet wet in PPC, PPC Bully might be the place to start if you are “Not sure” about surviving in the PPC environment.
If you plan to slap Google silly, and rip PPC profits out of Google’s greedy clutching little hands, then Google Cash Detective 2 is the way to go. Cost be damned! Just make so much that the monthly fee doesn’t matter.
I’ll let you look at each for yourself and decide:
Google Cash Detective 2 Strips Giant CPA Network Naked in Front of Audience
Saturday, March 7th, 2009Has Google Adwords slapped you down?
Does even starting an Adwords PPC campaign seem overwhelming?
Do you have limited financial resources, and not sure if you can tolerate the normal PPC learning curve losses?
What if you had a Google Adwords PPC system that would show you, BEFORE YOU STARTED, the most likely profitable campaigns?
What if you could hook into a piece of automated online software that monitored successful PPC campaigns 24/7? And that could tell you TODAY, right now, what was happening … and not force you to wait 2 weeks for competitive intelligence?
What if you could type in almost any keyword, and immediately discover if the campaigns run by others for the keyword was profitable … exactly how many searches were made each month … what specific ads they used … how much their CPC was … how long the ad had been running … what page position they held with the ad .. even what their landing pages looked like?
In other words, you could tell the PPC WINNERS … before you even began.
What would YOU do with this information?
Could you maybe … CLONE their approach, use their keywords, match their profitable ad position, dump the keywords that lost money and only use the keywords that MADE money?
Or would you just walk away from all this money LAYING ON THE TABLE for someone to pick up?
We’ve uncovered just such a piece of software, and a 2 hour “insiders only” video webinar where a major CPA network shares with its top marketers how to best use this new tool to rake in the cash.
About 30 minutes in the actual software is demoed, with surprising results for everyone as a random search uncovers a huge pot of money just waiting to be exploited – and the search idea was generated from a random term on a poster, of all things. You can sign up to receive more free insider training videos at the end.
So grab your favorite relaxing beverage, and settle back to see how the Google Cash Detective 2 software uncovers competitive intelligence details that shocks even the owner of this giant CPA network.

Google Shadow vs. Google Cash Detective | Which?
Friday, March 6th, 2009The recent launch of “The Google Shadow“ and “Google Cash Detective 2“ online tools leave one in a quandry: which is best?
In many ways, it depends on the style with which you approach your Adwords pay-per-click campaigns.
Google Shadow: Leaving the PPC Competition in the Dust
The Google Shadow tool allows you to throw massive numbers of PPC campaigns at Google with a tool that, once set up, practically writes the ads for you and generates campaigns at eye-popping, hopped-up-on-meth speed. I’ve never seen anything like it, and the thought that went into it is impressive.
It is certainly written for a professional PPCer from the “see what sticks on the wall” school of pay-per-click. It works great with either Clickbank, CJ, or any other kind of PPC campaigns.
The Other Side of the Coin: Google Cash Detective 2
Google Cash Detective 2, on the other hand, is a more sophisticated, thoughtful tool. If Google Shadow is the brash, impetuous younger brother, Goggle Cash Detective 2 is his better-behaved, smart-kid older brother from the “gonna be a surgeon” school of PPC.
Unlike the previous generation Cash Detective software, which ran on your own website (and caused hosting and other problems, from reports), this 2nd generation software is a technological leap forward.
It is hosted on THEIR OWN heavy-weight “cloud-computing” environment servers, which eliminates most of the practical hosting complaints about the earlier incarnation of Cash Detective. While it also integrates with Google Adwords campaigns, its most powerful feature is that it stores an enormous amount of recent PAST information on PPC campaigns; enter a keyword, and it will show you exactly how any searches, the cost per click, and how long the ads ran … and which ads were most profitable.
It also has the ability to take URL wildcard searches. For example, you can enter any Clickbank hoplink, and it will show you EVERY campaign running for that product, and who is profitable–and who isn’t. Talk about being stripped naked!
The competitors WITHOUT this tool are simply defenseless.
Most amazing, it does this WITHOUT asking you to wait two weeks for results, as most PPC spy tools do. It also costs about twice as much per month as Google Shadow, but is targeted at the deadly serious PPC professional who doesn’t intend to take any prisoners–and who DOES intend to see exactly what the most profitable campaigns are doing, and then steal their thunder, and eat them for lunch.
The Google Shadow: Brash, fast, and flashy.
Google Cash Detective 2: Silent, serious, and deadly.
Both have their niche, and in the end it may depend on your OWN personality as to which of these two outstanding Adwords PPC domination tools is best for you.
How to find low cost keywords for PPC campaign?
Friday, February 27th, 2009Shy asked:
Hi. I’ve been testing out a a few ppc campaigns for the past few weeks. My problem is finding the low cost keywords. I hear people saying that only pay .09 cents for even .25 cents for a click. I’ve made a list of highly relevant, highly targeted keyword phrases and they still cost .50 per click and up. Even the keywords that only get 30 searches a month are still expensive. I’ve tried Overture, Google adwords and ask.com Come someone give me advice or refer me to a tool to help me generate tons of low cost keywords?

Google Cash Detective 2: The PPC Competition Has No Clothes
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009If you could look forward in time a couple of months, couldn’t you make a killing in the stock market … or virtually any other industry?
With that kind of competitive advantage, I sure hope so. Well, the new Google Cash Detective 2 gives you very similar abilities in the Adwords PPC market.
But it may NOT be for you. Our Insider Expose reveals why.
[You can keep reading below, but if you are smart you will go DIRECTLY to my 26 minute Google Cash Detective "Insider Demo" Video HERE >> ]
UPDATE! March 10 Launch >> See this before its too late …
I just got off an international webinar with some big-time PPCers. The talk was supposed to be about something else, but by the end of the hour it turned into a Google Cash Detective 2 “love-fest!”
They, like me, have used Google Cash Detective 2 the past few weeks, and learned there simply ISN’T anything else like it if you plan to profit from PPC.
Chris Carpenter just released the PRICE and a host of previously
unannounced bonuses. Big time VALUE!The Detective isn’t for everyone, but for those that can
get it, it will be a bargain. Those that join now will also
lock in their price forever.Memberships are going to be limited, which will be
great for those using the tool, but it could be hard
to get.From all the buzz going around, I wouldn’t be surprised
if this sells out on the first day. Over 23,000 people
were watching videos on the launch blog yesterday.This is a big launch with a lot of people following, so
if you are interested, you should get in while you can.Something as big as the Detective doesn’t come around too often,
so be on your toes, and if the Detective is for you, be ready
to move very quickly if any spaces are left.This isn’t hype. I have access to MANY different tools. If I had to ditch all but ONE,
Google Cash Detective 2 would be the keeper

Why Google Cash Detective 2 Beats Previous Spy Tools
Most previous spy tools have worked one of two ways.
Either you had to install the script on your own server (often needing proxies and other tricks to avoid having your host shut you down) …. or …
You paid a monthly fee to access an online system that allowed you to enter keywords that you wanted to “spy” on in Adwords. Usually you are limited to a few hundred keywords. Then you waited a couple of weeks (or more) to find out if this campaign was profitable. If so, you could “clone” it, write something similar, and have more of a fighting chance of a winning campaign because you have “borrowed” the test results of another marketer, who basically tested using THEIR money … for YOU
Nice.
The problems are obvious, though. The first approach (including Google Cash Detective version 1) often suffered from struggles with hosting, getting the script to work, not getting banned, etc.
The second method required you to wait a couple of weeks — or months — to gather competitive intelligence, and often the tools were not very flexible in the information they provided.
Google Cash Detective 2 ends all that
Peer Into the Past with Google Cash Detective
Google Cash Detective 2 is an online subscription tool that is for serious PPC (pay-per-click) marketers. I say serious, because you are going to lay out a bill or two a month to use it … so if you are looking for the cheapest way to NOT do any work online, go elsewhere. (Hey, lets face it .. most people buy tools and ebooks, and never use them.)
Because the software is now hosted by a series of heavyweight Google Cash Detective servers, you no longer have any of the often-ugly hassles of trying to host it yourself.
And because the software has so much computing power (they refer to it as a “cloud computing environment”), they are able to store millions of keywords and URLS FROM THE PAST … giving you the ability to enter keywords TODAY, and instantly see the results from campaigns started several weeks or months ago.
Thats right.
No waiting for weeks to see if a campaign should be cloned. You can tell right now. Today. And act quickly, using THEIR profitable keywords, and similar ad text, to make money for yourself.
But this isn’t even the most important or impressive aspect of this groundbreaking new tool.
How to Reveal ONLY the PROFITABLE Clickbank (and other) Campaigns
I can’t begin to cover ALL the things you can do with Google Cash Detective 2 that you CAN’T do with other spy tools …. but lets just say is it a significant leap …. light years … ahead of other spy tools. There are over a dozen hours of tutorials on various ways to use the tool features.
And while the interface is blessedly simply, it is a bit like a turbo-charged engine hiding under the hood of a Volkswagen Bug … powerful, but you can’t see how deadly it really is from the outside.
A new and very powerful new feature is the wildcard search, which allows you to take the hoplink from Clickbank, strip off the affiliate code, and find EVERY campaign (and associated keywords) running for that item.
You can tell within seconds whether anyone is making any money with the product, and if so, who, how much they are paying, and which keywords and ads they are using.
Yeah, no more guessing which Clickbank products to promote.
Yes, it IS like undressing your competition, without them even knowing they are naked. Unfair? Only if YOU don’t have the Google Cash Detective 2 tool.
(You can use this same wildcard search in ways other than with Clickbank hoplinks, as well … making it easier than ever before to find great products OUTSIDE of Clickbank to market.)
True, you have to still use some common sense. And this tool does not allow you to take advantage of recent launches, which have no past information to spy on.
A company may be running a money-losing campaign for branding purposes, etc, but these details are clearly explained in the video demos. And frankly, if you don’t find the level of competitive intelligence that Google Cash Detective 2 gives you sufficient, you probably shouldn’t be running Adwords campaigns ANYway … because you do have to make some decisions, and live in a bit of a risky environment in order to cash in.
Is Google Cash Detective 2 for YOU?
Maybe
If you are a serious marketer who wants to generate “traffic on demand” to campaigns that have a high probability of success … and you can tolerate the inherent risk in the Adwords environment … I think you are foolish to NOT use the Google Cash Detective 2 tool.
Why throw your money away on guesses … or products which might convert, but just never produce enough cash to matter?
The Google Cash Detective 2 tool allows you to make instant decisions about profit-producing campaigns on an UNLIMITED number of keywords. It is like your very own investment “time machine.”
Do you want that advantage?
Should I hire a Google Advertising Professional to manage my PPC campaigns?
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
I’ve been managing the Adwords acc’t myself. I’ve been at it for a month and it just takes too much time and I’m not profiting - AT ALL. Would it be wise to hire a Qualified Google Professional Company to take over for me? Is it worth it? Have you ever used a Google Pro company to manage your campaigns? What was you experience? Did they help increase your sales? Or did you hire a non-Qualified Google pro to manage your campaigns?
