I bought one report on the new system and fired it up the last 2 days.

Erect is right in saying you can’t just login and figure out what it can do for you and if it could work in you field(s). It takes a little bit of time to figure out the flow from start to having keywords, ads, and placements that should be effective.

Wright was spot on with what he said. Since this is software for learning to copy what other people are doing to get things done faster and better I will just do that and copy the layout of what Wright said:

Use it for:

1) Choosing keywords for PPC campaigns;

Ya I just gave it a very general term and let it expand out. Then I picked 3 or 4 suggestions and added one I was thinking about. Then it works for 12 hours or so and gives you hundreds of keywords and shows you competition and estimates keyword cost.

2) Checking out the competitions' keywords;

Does a great job and gives you a lot. Helpful if you know some things about keywords and bidding. Ie some people are fucking stupid and don’t track conversions at a keyword level. But typically long term ads are profitable. Copy those keywords and ads.

3) Checking out the competitions' ad copy to help build/improve your own;

Ya in my niche half the ads were quite good. Some were dictionary buys from ask and about.

4) Checking out the competitions' landing and content pages;

Great for this and parses the data better than doing it by hand and much faster.

5) Grouping similar keywords together for ideas on content creation; and,

This looked weird to me in the video, but works and I am actually using it to break this niche into 3 offers and landing pages. This helped me group keywords and ads and keep them connected. Trying to keep CTRs and conversions high by splitting offers.

6) Ideas for domain names with good SEO potential.

Ya I found several that were pretty good and were not taken yet. Searching through the suggested keywords helps you find things that should work for low hanging PPC and possibly even SEO.

Input your payout per action (CPA, lead, etc.), click-through rate and conversion rate


Ya I guessed this as I am not in this niche or ran this offer yet. It will be way off on the general terms and there is no way now to adjust per keyword or ad group right now. If you run a general high volume term you will have to watch it.

The report generation has been faster than anticipated, much less than the 12 hours that had been expected.

Ya the few reports that take some time are fairly quick. Monitoring the web takes time, there is no way around that. Much faster than ispionage. Set them at night and they are waiting for you the next morning.

I think the interface and how it works is good. It does not seem rough around the edges. It is not as slick as ispionage and good at tracking things over time as ispionage but it is more for the CPA PPC market and works well with that model. The flow from start with basic keywords, to expanded keywords, to ads. Then content network is nice, fast, and I would have no problem working with this on an ongoing basis. In fact I plan to.


I had planned to hold off reviewing until I ran some of the keywords and placements but am going out and wanted to chime in before I am gone for 24 hours.

I will post results as soon as I have them.
