PPC Keyword Research ... you outsource everything else so why not keywords? - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

erect · 01-06-2009, 12:30 PM

The other day I posted a thread and got some feedback on a new tool I built for my personal empire (I'm getting ready for SEOempire II which should be released any day, right Eli?).

After hacking into place some suggestions from some of you guys, I think I've built a nice little keyword tool for PPCers so I am going to open the doors to the public.

I've never seen a personalized keyword research service offered as most people use things like wordze or wordtracker so they can waste time sifting through 20,000 words ... so we'll see how this goes.

What I'm offering

You pick the niche and then leave the heavy lifting to me

I'll find the most closely related keywords to your niche

I'll squeeze every last long tail I can out of each related keyword

I'll pull adwords statistics on the most popular keywords in the list

I'll wrap the entire package up into a spreadsheet and send it your way

What you'll receive

A spreadsheet with a minimum of 300 closely related phrases to your campaign. Most popular niches have ~1000 solid words for your campaign.

Notice I said "closely related phrases" ... this service isn't just long tails directly off the root keyword. My tool digs around alternative searches and finds stuff like Dr. Perricone, university of florida study & multitudes of eating disorder words for some popular weight loss products

search volume & estimated CPC for most phrases from the adwords tool

An afternoon of free time you would have spent working your ass off only to end up with an inferior list of keywords

Who will benefit most from this

Noobs, I'm looking at you. Starting your 1st few campaigns can be overwhelming for anyone. This service would be a massive timesaver and a push in the right direction to help get your offer profitable ASAP so you can start the real work ... testing & pruning.

Vets with campaigns that are drying up. Inject some fresh keywords into your stagnant campaigns and stop leaving all that money on the table!

SEOs looking to tackle a new niche. This research gives you Adwords CPC (which translates easily into adsnese eCPC) & search volume for the words. There are enough keywords in one niche research package to launch 10 sites!!!

To get some reviews rolling, I'm giving away free research reports for the next 30 minutes to anyone who wants one and has > 50 posts.

The price for this service will be $45 starting out ... everyone gets their 1st research report for $25 unless you claim a free one

Disclaimer: I'm not a PPCer therefore I won't be directly competing on any of these niches ... you can look for my sites on the other side of the page. Turnaround times may vary depending on how lazy I'm feeling, I'll have all orders complete in around 48 hours MAX unless I (or my servers) die. I'll run this tool with questionable niches but will not guarantee results, many of the places I pull data from won't return adult terms ... you'll get a bunch of keywords but the result won't turn out as well as a claen niche. Payment is due up front until we have completed a few transactions, credit and volume discounts can be extended at some point if you run multiple campaigns through me. All payments are to be made through paypal.

PM sent with minutes to spare I hope.

Bofu2U · 01-06-2009, 01:15 PM

If I'm not too late for the free report, I'll snag one.

micfire · 01-06-2009, 01:18 PM

I can verify that erect provides quite nice keyword lists

kimboslice · 01-06-2009, 01:45 PM

if still available

metsguy · 01-06-2009, 02:04 PM

Its a long shot but review copy if not enough people claimed them

erect · 01-06-2009, 02:06 PM

WF is an odd place, I placed a random post @ 2AM and got 25 PMs within 2 hours. This time I post something in this time middle of the day and hardly anyone sees it. It worked out well for me though, 3 is a great number of freebies to give away for quality samples.

I'll put a report together for you guys here in a bit so you can take a looksee.

d03boy · 01-06-2009, 02:30 PM

Looks like I'm late.

erect, perhaps picking one random niche and showing what your report looks like (publically) would be helpful? I'm not sure what you think about that, but... could be a good way to get some more action

erect · 01-06-2009, 02:54 PM

I just sent one over to ArtDeco ... Kimbo, I've got your request and you're next in queue since I don't have any niche from bofu (shoot me a PM).

I'd love nothing more than to drop an acai campaign here for all to see as that turned out some seriously fine keywords in my testing. Since there's a ton of money going around there, the potential for death threats is keeping me from doing just that.

I'm up for it though, you peeps decide on a micro-niche somewhere that will step on very few toes and I'll make it happen.

For the guys who were my alpha-testers from the other thread ... I now run words from your niche through they script 5 times or so and pass them through adwords for more keywords and data. The stuff you'd get now is light years ahead of what you got the other day.

ArtDeco · 01-07-2009, 02:01 AM

I asked Erect for keywords in an expensive, competitive niche that I'm considering that I had just manually collected about 100 keywords from multiple searches with the Google keyword tool.

This is not a noob friendly niche -many of these keywords are upside down - meaning that Google charges as much or more for a click than the networks pay for a completed zip submit.

Within a few hours, Erect sent me three spreadsheets with over 300 solidly related terms and over 750 alternative terms with cpc and volume of searches numbers for each phrase from the Google adwords tool, and a sheet of 'others w/ potential' that might be good secondary keywords to fill out content pages and such. For those key phrases that we had both turned up the numbers were comparable but not identical, but he had way more keywords - Enough keywords for a large campaign or a site for a year most likely.

Erect doesn't provide a competition number or anything like a KEI score, but I think you can get that from the cost per click number especially if G is charging like $15 or $20 a click. Seems to me that his service would be worth the money even for organic SEO and definitely worthwhile for PPC.

In fact, I may just order another one for a related but less expensive niche.

The tool was originally written for organic rankings ... I just fire off some requests for competition and can easily cherry pick the easiest keywords to rank for.

Seeing that this is a different version of my personal tool that I built just for you guys, I can easily hack out the finished product to better fit your needs.

My question is ... "What forumla do I use to find the best EA?" (that's Erect's Algorithm for those curious about the acronym)

Here's my thoughts ...

1. scrape google's sponsored links for your "competition". Record the total ads (and the ad copy for the hell of it) that shows up for each keyword.

2. run each keyword through the algorithm below, sort all in descending order for output.

Code:

$ea = ( $volume / $CPC ) * ( 1 / $number_of_competition )

$ea = Erect's Algorithm
$volume = google's estimated volume ... minimum of 1 
$CPC = the CPC from the adwords tool ... minimum of $0.05 
$number_of_competition = the competition from my scrape in #1 above

The higher the number returned from the above function, the better your chances to make a buck or 2 for that keyword.

Does anyone have any feedback to improve this? I'm all ears

I'm sure more will be commenting here in a bit. I just sent kimbo his & it was a bitch, the requested niche is right in the middle of 6 others so I'm interested to hear his thoughts about the results.

Awesome list, the "also consider", "related", and "alternative" headings are a nice extra. Definitely going to save me time in developing and researching expansion tails, etc.

found a few extra sub categories that i didnt notice in my preliminary kw niche research

Still open for suggestions here. I won't do a major niche but any minor one would be a great example to show off. I tried it with "foreskin regrowth" (from a BeerNuts post) but it didn't work out well because things like "foreskin" and "uncircumcised" do not yield any results using the adwords tool (adult related)

He does now. There is extra hard costs (man hours + proxies) involved so I'm having to charge a premium for this part of the service ($25). I sent the last few reports to clients with this feature added in ... hopefully we'll get some feedback from them. If not, pick a micro-niche and I'll show it to everyone.

grassy ass & good luck milking some extra money from the niche.

As mentioned earlier, I've had several reports go out with no feedback left in this thread (including 2 review copies). I'm assuming it's due to ASW so I'm not going to push for the reviews until after Tuesday. The forum as a whole will probably pick up when everyone returns home from Vegas (That is, if they don't die from casino mobsters, a VD or alcohol poisoning).

Review -

Bought a report. Was a bit skeptical but was surprised at the depth of information erect provides. Not sure how accurate the Est. Income he provides will be... guess it depends on other factors such as your personal skill and Adwords account history.

Other than that, I think erect's reports are great to quickly jumpstart a campaign. I bought one because I simply hate the brainstorming part of keyword research.

Bofu2U · 01-16-2009, 04:43 PM

Review

Was actually amazed at the in depth-ness of the list. A lot of these will help me over the next 6 months to rank for the terms organically, which by the way, almost 1/3rd of them have almost no competition.

A+ in my book.

dnelite · 01-16-2009, 05:25 PM

if there's free spot I'll take it.. otherwise PM me w/Price.. interested to try you out, I'm domainer and rely on Trellian + Keyword Elite for some of my needs..

thanks

Acutally, if you've run the campaign previous to getting the report, the est. income will be quite stable. Still consider it an estimate though. The system works like this ...

1. You insert your CTR, conversion % and payout on the "MASTER" tab in excel
2. the spreadsheet then assumes that you'll bid what it takes to hit the #1 spot (that's the max CPC from the adwords tool).
3. a formula then calculates how much you would make form the volume provided by the adwords tool like so

PHP Code:


			
$est_income = ( $volume * $ctr  * $conversion_percentage * $payout ) - ( $volume * $ctr * $cpc )

It basically takes your revenue (from the numbers that you provided) and subtracts your expenses ... for every keyword. Of course these are all estimates & your cpc will vary depending on your QS.

If you've not run the campaign previously the above can still help you out by providing guestimates on the keywords to determine profitability

This is exactly how I use it ... scrape competition >> scrape back links from competition >> ??? >> profit ... it's nice seeing potential volume too.

What a great idea, I never considered using this for domain names. All reports so far have returned 1000+ niche oriented keywords ... just combine the words and check the availability of the possible domains with high volume and register the .com

genius!

erect · 01-25-2009, 04:31 PM

Just to give everyone a heads up, I posted an example report on Valentines day keywords so that everyone could take a look at the finished product ... like a total tool, I forgot to link it here on the sales thread so prospective buyers can see what they'll be getting.

Also, don't mistake this service as dead because there have not been any replies for a few days. I'm actually backed up until Wednesday after a rush this weekend, if you're interested then reserving your spot now via PM is a pretty good idea.

Also, out of 25+ reports I've run I've only had a handful of reviews (4 exactly) ... this includes one guy who took the freebie and left no feedback. If you've had a report, please give some feedback (good or bad) so that others can get an idea of what to expect.

ArtDeco · 01-28-2009, 10:44 AM

Guys, even if you have no interest in Valentine's Day, you should take a look at these. Erect has really developed this idea since the first one I got with 300+ kewords. This is now 5 spreadsheets divided into groups like penny clicks and golden words with estimates of volume and profit per each keyword phrase. I have never used a high end paid keyword service, so I don't really know how his formulas compare, but it certainly looks good to me.

It has come a long way in the past few weeks. Due to this, I'd like the early bird orders to check out the new product so I'll give any repeat orders a $20 discount on their next order ... $30 if they leave (or have left) an honest review on this thread.

excelerent · 01-29-2009, 03:07 PM

the service has been incredible!

I was a bit apprenhensive about the process of letting someone do the footwork on such an important part of the campaign, but it looks like it will pay off, I ordered a list thinking I was getting a few keywords to supplement the ones I already had

Instead, I got over seven hundred keywords (over 500 of them under .10$) with massive volume and cheap prices that I intend to use to start a whole campaign on there own, I intend to reuse the service almost immediatly.

note: working with erect was easy and painless, professional, and most of all fast. the order was done and posted to me in days!

if I was a review person I would give it 2 thumbs up or 5/5 or 1 GOLDEN CHICKEN, but i'm not... so ill just say its Awesome and leave

note #2 : I know this is my first post but i had to tell u guys to use erect, he's that good, believe me or not!

ClarkeW · 01-31-2009, 02:14 PM

I purchased a report from erect last weekend and received the completed report on Tuesday. It was for a saturated niche and I knew that going in, but I was definitely impressed with some of the different keyword options that he provided to me with some nice low cost stuff.

The report was definitely worth it and I'll be ordering more in the future. Erect was very easy to work with and provided great service.

KC-Coop · 02-03-2009, 01:23 PM

I purchased two reports from erect last week. They were both flawless, I'm working on using them for my campaigns now. Each report had over a total of 1000 keywords, and these were in competitive niches so I am able to know basically what a lot of people are searching for in this area.

I had a pretty good idea as I had a list of my own, but his list supplemented mine very well and if you didn't already have your own list you could easily use one of his lists to start your campaign. I'm ordering another as I write this.

MemKaw · 02-04-2009, 06:10 PM

This is great...I ordered erect's service two weeks for a competitive niche and I got keywords that I would never had found my self....and I tried them in ppc, they work great...It's time for a another order for another niche...

agua · 02-06-2009, 02:24 PM

I got erect to do me a list and this list is Kick Ass - I'm seriously going to make some coin with this as its for a campaign which is already profitable - I just needed to ramp it up with some longtails.

Thanks mate

mpmarketing2006 · 02-06-2009, 02:51 PM

I ordered a second list from erect and its awesome.

Took his list, created tight adgroups, fired em up in Adwords.

Got a shitload of traffic and am now pruning. The best part? The campaign is profitable from day 1.

clashctyrokr · 02-09-2009, 06:58 PM

I got erect to do a research pack for me... I don't personally use PPC yet as I am still a retard when it comes to IM, but these keywords will be very helpful for writing articles.

Great job erect! I will certainly use you again.

ed146 · 02-11-2009, 04:12 PM

Erect, reading these positive reviews making my p go erect!

You still providing service?

ROIShareTeam · 02-11-2009, 04:23 PM

Last week I had ordered and received a keyword list for a niche I was planning to tackle. At this moment, I have to say that he underestimates his work. I literally just copied and pasted his keyword list into my keyword list on Adwords, and from the 1st attempt; I was running a positive ROI. That is before I even started tweaking and split testing.

What I noticed the most was that the majority of keywords were those that wouldn't have come to my mind, even though they are relevant to my niche. Relevant Keywords + Low CPC = PROFIT!

erect · 02-12-2009, 12:00 PM

The reviews are in and it looks like my clients are picking up some quick and easy coin just from dropping these keywords in place. Seeing that repeat orders account for 75% of my business at this point, it's safe to say the reports kick ass.

Yep, I'm still here ... I'm not the kind of seller who bumps his thread every day to increase sales. I've actually just cleared out the queue for the 1st time in 3 weeks. To celebrate, how about I dig myself another hole and offer up a special.

$10 off all reports today only!!!

That's my goal. I do my best to make the keyword data comprehensive so that when I provide your list, I can suggest only the best of the best for your campaigns for immediate profit.

Anyone can pay $5 / click for common words and spend $10k+ for a few thousand visitors. The true value of my report is that you can find some less competitive words that are closely related to your offer that together pull the same 1000's of clicks. The difference is, your clicks will only cost you a fraction of the price ... pocket change in many cases.

<3 that ROI

Computer programs are great at many things, one of which is data mining. My program scrapes 100's of pages gathering keywords closely related to your niche and presents it to you in an easy to digest format.

This allows the human brain to do what it's best at ... critical thinking. Tweaking, pruning & split testing is what you, as a marketer, should be concentrating on.

To sum it up, stop wasting time doing boring ass keyword research when you're just going to fly blind without data for those words anyways. My reports will get you the information you need to be profitable right off the bat at a price that your campaign will recover in just a few minutes.

erect · 02-13-2009, 12:23 AM

I got a bunch of PMs today, I'm holding off to hear from the late night crowd and then I'll respond to everyone in the morning.

The $10 discount expires when I wake up tomorrow ... the queue is no longer empty. Mission accomplished!

S-dog · 02-17-2009, 12:06 AM

Ordering a 2nd report. Worth the price the first time, so going for it again.

mattonitto · 02-19-2009, 07:42 PM

Erect made me erect.

Ordered a report from Josh and he delivered far more than I expected. I gave him a very broad, vague, and expensive niche. Most keywords in this niche are $7-$15.

Within 24 hours he gave me plenty of very relevant keywords that are sub $2. He even dug up some related and relevant keywords with a shit load of volume in the sub $1 range all the way down to $0.05.

Even at a CTR of 0.50% with a 5% conversion there are keywords that will bank.

If you haven't checked his Valentine's Day report to see how he breaks down different keyword categories, you should.

If I can do some decent work to cover my end of the shit, the man has found a pile of money waiting to be scooped up.

Yes, but your best bet is to run the niche in English and then get the translation done after you decide which words to use. You can assume lower data numbers across the board.

Statistics are best gathered from google.com, since they've got the most traffic. If you use google.com.mx (for example) as a base, the report will miss out on MANY of the long term gems that my reports produce because while they might show up with 1000 searches with google.com, Mexico may have only searched for the word 30 times. The adwords tool will drop the word because it doesn't have enough data and you lose the long tail.

To give an example:
cerveza has an average search volume of 49,500
beer gets 13.6 million

The other 100's of scrapes I do are totally uneffected. They are multilingual by nature.

Another drawback is there's no quality control, mi speaka uno languagito ... engrish.

The funny part is, I saw his report & he's really not exaggerating or fluffing for the sake of a review.

Want to hear something else funny?

erect · 03-02-2009, 12:24 PM

I just wanted to chime in and answer some questions that I've been getting via PM

1. Yes, I am serious about not accepting new clients for a while. I'm stopping the spreadsheet based system and moving to a web interface that allows for additional features like

returning a list of domains in the SERPs for your keywords that use adsense. Easy copy & paste for content network domain targeting. (thanks for the idea emp)

finding your main competitors in your niche and directly taking their keywords

review/copy/edit ALL the best ad copy found in your niche (sorted by keyword or competition's domain name)

You'll still be able to download the keyword data to xls, so if that's what you are wanting ... you won't be disappointed.

2. No, I won't be shutting the door on existing customers. If you've ordered a report in the past, I'm still open for business. By discontinuing the spreadsheet based service to new clients, I can take some time to work out any kinks I find while still giving the same great service to existing clients.

Ooh yea, and existing clients will get a massive discount on the future costs of this service. Just my way of saying thanks!

5 days left people ... get in while the service is still open to the public.

Unarmed Gunman · 03-02-2009, 06:32 PM

Just wanted to give a review of the service. I ordered a report on a competitive niche I was already running a campaign in to see how accurate it was, and to see if I could get something new out of it. I was pleasantly surprised.

I already had a few thousand keywords and yet a few of the best ones in the report - I didn't even have. Those paid for the report several times over. It also shed some light on some of my keywords that were born losers, which made me realize it wasn't just me - so I dropped them. I only wish I would have ordered the report a few weeks earlier.

That being said, I still think it is vital for you to do your own keyword research if you want to better understand your niche, but this report provides a helluva head start in the right direction and could be the difference in how soon your campaign becomes profitable.

Basically, I would recommend this service to anybody. I'm ordering another one on a niche I'm not in, because I know it will be some of the best money I spend on the campaign, and will help me get up to speed twice as fast as usual. Order this service - you won't be sorry.

Watchmen? I heard it was 2 hours of blue cock on the screen. Sounds like a real blast.

erect · 03-11-2009, 07:37 PM

I'm still getting people PMing me about getting reports. For those that didn't catch it, I stopped taking on new clients last weekend so I can do some renovations. For now, you're shit out of luck.

If you wanted to get on the waiting list, please just reply here (or PM) and I'll get in touch with you when I re-open ... should be sometime early April

marcel · 03-11-2009, 09:21 PM

frugaljoe · 03-11-2009, 10:15 PM

mediastar100 · 03-11-2009, 10:49 PM

My Review.

A+ report clean interface and golden golden nuggets delivered in the form of many long tails.

I literally plugged this KW list into a campaign that I wanted to bring back from the dead and BAM.. the report paid for its self in less than 20 clicks with a nice roi straight off the bat.

Great work.

mattonitto · 03-11-2009, 11:15 PM

erect Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: orbiting condo Posts: 3,188 iTrader: 15 / 94%	PPC Keyword Research ... you outsource everything else so why not keywords? The other day I posted a thread and got some feedback on a new tool I built for my personal empire (I'm getting ready for SEOempire II which should be released any day, right Eli?). After hacking into place some suggestions from some of you guys, I think I've built a nice little keyword tool for PPCers so I am going to open the doors to the public. I've never seen a personalized keyword research service offered as most people use things like wordze or wordtracker so they can waste time sifting through 20,000 words ... so we'll see how this goes. What I'm offering You pick the niche and then leave the heavy lifting to me I'll find the most closely related keywords to your niche I'll squeeze every last long tail I can out of each related keyword I'll pull adwords statistics on the most popular keywords in the list I'll wrap the entire package up into a spreadsheet and send it your way What you'll receive A spreadsheet with a minimum of 300 closely related phrases to your campaign. Most popular niches have ~1000 solid words for your campaign. Notice I said "closely related phrases" ... this service isn't just long tails directly off the root keyword. My tool digs around alternative searches and finds stuff like Dr. Perricone, university of florida study & multitudes of eating disorder words for some popular weight loss products search volume & estimated CPC for most phrases from the adwords tool An afternoon of free time you would have spent working your ass off only to end up with an inferior list of keywords Who will benefit most from this Noobs, I'm looking at you. Starting your 1st few campaigns can be overwhelming for anyone. This service would be a massive timesaver and a push in the right direction to help get your offer profitable ASAP so you can start the real work ... testing & pruning. Vets with campaigns that are drying up. Inject some fresh keywords into your stagnant campaigns and stop leaving all that money on the table! SEOs looking to tackle a new niche. This research gives you Adwords CPC (which translates easily into adsnese eCPC) & search volume for the words. There are enough keywords in one niche research package to launch 10 sites!!! To get some reviews rolling, I'm giving away free research reports for the next 30 minutes to anyone who wants one and has > 50 posts. The price for this service will be $45 starting out ... everyone gets their 1st research report for $25 unless you claim a free one Disclaimer: I'm not a PPCer therefore I won't be directly competing on any of these niches ... you can look for my sites on the other side of the page. Turnaround times may vary depending on how lazy I'm feeling, I'll have all orders complete in around 48 hours MAX unless I (or my servers) die. I'll run this tool with questionable niches but will not guarantee results, many of the places I pull data from won't return adult terms ... you'll get a bunch of keywords but the result won't turn out as well as a claen niche. Payment is due up front until we have completed a few transactions, credit and volume discounts can be extended at some point if you run multiple campaigns through me. All payments are to be made through paypal. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter

erect Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: orbiting condo Posts: 3,188 iTrader: 15 / 94%	WF is an odd place, I placed a random post @ 2AM and got 25 PMs within 2 hours. This time I post something in this time middle of the day and hardly anyone sees it. It worked out well for me though, 3 is a great number of freebies to give away for quality samples. I'll put a report together for you guys here in a bit so you can take a looksee. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter

ArtDeco Ex-lurker Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: PA USA Posts: 629 iTrader: 2 / 100%	Quick K/W service review I asked Erect for keywords in an expensive, competitive niche that I'm considering that I had just manually collected about 100 keywords from multiple searches with the Google keyword tool. This is not a noob friendly niche -many of these keywords are upside down - meaning that Google charges as much or more for a click than the networks pay for a completed zip submit. Within a few hours, Erect sent me three spreadsheets with over 300 solidly related terms and over 750 alternative terms with cpc and volume of searches numbers for each phrase from the Google adwords tool, and a sheet of 'others w/ potential' that might be good secondary keywords to fill out content pages and such. For those key phrases that we had both turned up the numbers were comparable but not identical, but he had way more keywords - Enough keywords for a large campaign or a site for a year most likely. Erect doesn't provide a competition number or anything like a KEI score, but I think you can get that from the cost per click number especially if G is charging like $15 or $20 a click. Seems to me that his service would be worth the money even for organic SEO and definitely worthwhile for PPC. In fact, I may just order another one for a related but less expensive niche.

mpmarketing2006 Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Posts: 205 iTrader: 3 / 100%	Review - Bought a report. Was a bit skeptical but was surprised at the depth of information erect provides. Not sure how accurate the Est. Income he provides will be... guess it depends on other factors such as your personal skill and Adwords account history. Other than that, I think erect's reports are great to quickly jumpstart a campaign. I bought one because I simply hate the brainstorming part of keyword research.

Bofu2U Automation Specialist Join Date: May 2007 Location: Baltimore, Murdaland Posts: 8,293 iTrader: 78 / 100%	Review Was actually amazed at the in depth-ness of the list. A lot of these will help me over the next 6 months to rank for the terms organically, which by the way, almost 1/3rd of them have almost no competition. A+ in my book.

erect Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: orbiting condo Posts: 3,188 iTrader: 15 / 94%	Just to give everyone a heads up, I posted an example report on Valentines day keywords so that everyone could take a look at the finished product ... like a total tool, I forgot to link it here on the sales thread so prospective buyers can see what they'll be getting. Also, don't mistake this service as dead because there have not been any replies for a few days. I'm actually backed up until Wednesday after a rush this weekend, if you're interested then reserving your spot now via PM is a pretty good idea. Also, out of 25+ reports I've run I've only had a handful of reviews (4 exactly) ... this includes one guy who took the freebie and left no feedback. If you've had a report, please give some feedback (good or bad) so that others can get an idea of what to expect. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter

ArtDeco Ex-lurker Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: PA USA Posts: 629 iTrader: 2 / 100%	Guys, even if you have no interest in Valentine's Day, you should take a look at these. Erect has really developed this idea since the first one I got with 300+ kewords. This is now 5 spreadsheets divided into groups like penny clicks and golden words with estimates of volume and profit per each keyword phrase. I have never used a high end paid keyword service, so I don't really know how his formulas compare, but it certainly looks good to me.

excelerent Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 3 iTrader: 1 / 100%	the service has been incredible! I was a bit apprenhensive about the process of letting someone do the footwork on such an important part of the campaign, but it looks like it will pay off, I ordered a list thinking I was getting a few keywords to supplement the ones I already had Instead, I got over seven hundred keywords (over 500 of them under .10$) with massive volume and cheap prices that I intend to use to start a whole campaign on there own, I intend to reuse the service almost immediatly. note: working with erect was easy and painless, professional, and most of all fast. the order was done and posted to me in days! if I was a review person I would give it 2 thumbs up or 5/5 or 1 GOLDEN CHICKEN, but i'm not... so ill just say its Awesome and leave note #2 : I know this is my first post but i had to tell u guys to use erect, he's that good, believe me or not!

ClarkeW ClarkeW Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: KC Posts: 39 iTrader: 3 / 100%	I purchased a report from erect last weekend and received the completed report on Tuesday. It was for a saturated niche and I knew that going in, but I was definitely impressed with some of the different keyword options that he provided to me with some nice low cost stuff. The report was definitely worth it and I'll be ordering more in the future. Erect was very easy to work with and provided great service. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter

KC-Coop Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Canton, Ohio Posts: 246 iTrader: 6 / 100%	I purchased two reports from erect last week. They were both flawless, I'm working on using them for my campaigns now. Each report had over a total of 1000 keywords, and these were in competitive niches so I am able to know basically what a lot of people are searching for in this area. I had a pretty good idea as I had a list of my own, but his list supplemented mine very well and if you didn't already have your own list you could easily use one of his lists to start your campaign. I'm ordering another as I write this. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter

ROIShareTeam Fresh Start Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: U.S Posts: 810 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Last week I had ordered and received a keyword list for a niche I was planning to tackle. At this moment, I have to say that he underestimates his work. I literally just copied and pasted his keyword list into my keyword list on Adwords, and from the 1st attempt; I was running a positive ROI. That is before I even started tweaking and split testing. What I noticed the most was that the majority of keywords were those that wouldn't have come to my mind, even though they are relevant to my niche. Relevant Keywords + Low CPC = PROFIT!

mattonitto So not gangster.... Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 160 iTrader: 2 / 100%	Erect made me erect. Ordered a report from Josh and he delivered far more than I expected. I gave him a very broad, vague, and expensive niche. Most keywords in this niche are $7-$15. Within 24 hours he gave me plenty of very relevant keywords that are sub $2. He even dug up some related and relevant keywords with a shit load of volume in the sub $1 range all the way down to $0.05. Even at a CTR of 0.50% with a 5% conversion there are keywords that will bank. If you haven't checked his Valentine's Day report to see how he breaks down different keyword categories, you should. If I can do some decent work to cover my end of the shit, the man has found a pile of money waiting to be scooped up. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter

erect Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: orbiting condo Posts: 3,188 iTrader: 15 / 94%	I just wanted to chime in and answer some questions that I've been getting via PM 1. Yes, I am serious about not accepting new clients for a while. I'm stopping the spreadsheet based system and moving to a web interface that allows for additional features like returning a list of domains in the SERPs for your keywords that use adsense. Easy copy & paste for content network domain targeting. (thanks for the idea emp) finding your main competitors in your niche and directly taking their keywords review/copy/edit ALL the best ad copy found in your niche (sorted by keyword or competition's domain name) You'll still be able to download the keyword data to xls, so if that's what you are wanting ... you won't be disappointed. 2. No, I won't be shutting the door on existing customers. If you've ordered a report in the past, I'm still open for business. By discontinuing the spreadsheet based service to new clients, I can take some time to work out any kinks I find while still giving the same great service to existing clients. Ooh yea, and existing clients will get a massive discount on the future costs of this service. Just my way of saying thanks! 5 days left people ... get in while the service is still open to the public. Share Share this post on Digg Del.icio.us Technorati Twitter
