Is there something like ispionage or PPCBully that is self hosted?

Not that I'm aware of at this point... paranoid? Not sure of PPC Bully but I'd stay clear of ispionage. Heard the owner was looking at people's spy searches.

Care to elaborate ?

Hey NJForever,
Just seen this call...
It's Emil from PPC Bully

We have a hosted solution, actually installment on your own servers.
However, since there is a huge amount of database and some more server requirements we do this for Huge accounts only (50K and up)

So this is relevant for Agencies or for the heavy PPC users.
If you are one of those give us a call

Anyway, you bet that your account is private!
This is the basic foundation of our company.

Cheers, Emil
PPC Bully

P.S - Just released a cool and funny case study, check it out in our Blog

Someone I personally know said the owner was monitoring their account and openly admitted it and then had the nerve to ask for keywords directly from the affiliate. Needless to say, both raised enough red flags to steer clear from.

Well if you host a service that people use to spy keywords, well why the fuck wouldn't you use the data for your own good? It's just really naive to think that people wouldn't spy on you... It's just matter of making your business in a way that it can't be replicated by spying on keywords.

Hi there, I'm the founder of iSpionage.
You definetely mixed up a good intention with a bad one.

This is what we asked for when you signed up with us:
3 of your seed keywords, and 3 of your competitors URLs.

The reason we ask: we want to HELP you find more keywords in your niche. Our research specialist will expand your "main" keywords and populate the data FOR you. So in essence, we help you do your keyword research if you allow us to.

We have no intention to compete with you and take away your lunch, that's not our business. We're a software service company.

I spent hours of my personal time doing the keyword research for many of our clients, just to make sure they get the highest data quality. We're hoping that by helping you out, you'll reciprocate the favor, and appreciate the extra mile we do.

I hope this clears out why we ask for your seed keywords.

-Leon

Hi Guys,

Thank you for all your help and input.

I have one more question how do your products compare to something like Adspy Pro.

That was the only self hosted solution that I found that you can still buy.

Thank you.
