Testing is finally complete and it's time to announce the evolution of my ppc keyword report service.

Campaign Sniper

There is a video on the homepage that gives a pretty good overview of what all is possible with Campaign Sniper.

Features:

1. Same kick ass keyword reports as before, the old xls reports are even available for download. A typical report averages around 1000 related, yet diverse, phrases encompassing your niche.
2. Essential data such as cpc, volume, # of potential competitors & even profit estimates based on your actual numbers are provided for most words in your report
3. Each keyword shown is a link so you can check out all ads displayed for this phrase ... each competitor's url is a link leading to all of the keywords and adcopy found for that domain.
4. A simple to use clipboard that allows you to save keywords for export => dump into adwords editor. The same applies to ad copy + you have the ability to edit the title & description in your clipboard.
5. Both clipboards (ad copy and keyword) allow you assign individual records to adgroups making the transition to adwords easy.
6. A complete analysis of your top 25 competitor's keywords & ad copy. This is kind of a "best of the best" report that gives you a great overview of what is working for the big players.
7. Campaign Sniper checks all sites found in the SERPs using the keywords in your clipboard and looks for adsense footprints. You can just copy and paste the domains we found into the targeted urls section of your content network campaign for focused traffic & big profits.

Any questions, comments or suggestions? Feel free to leave them below. I'm pretty active developing this service so if you've got a good idea, bring it on. I've also set up a live support script for direct communication, but please don't abuse it.

Retail Price: $100 / 1 report ... $200 / 3 reports

Wickedfire 25% off discount code = WFROCKS

To order, register 1st then click pricing .. scroll down to choose a package and enter the code.

Existing clients have a fat discount code embedded into their account that's permanent ... thanks for all the suggestions that inspired me to keep on improving my tool. There were a few of you I was unable to reach. If you're one of them, just get with me.

I've got a ton of great reviews for the 1st version of this service over here. In an effort to get feedback & reviews from some of the larger affiliates, I've decided to give a freebie to any mod, admin, guide ... hell, any WF member with > 1500 posts (this will expire at some point).

Also, if you've got an aff blog with decent traffic, I'm interested in talking with you.

Any WF newbie can have your 1st report for only $35.

erect, I haven't tried the keyword dump into the Adwords editor and I'm not sure if it's different for Yahoo/adCenter when importing but its definitely something you might want to include.

how does this differ from keywordspy?

bb_wolfe

Damn fine site and product. I have a brand new campaign I could use with this if you want a review!

THE NETWORK AKMG SUCKS, READ WHY

erect

Well, we're direct competitors so there are many similar features between the two sites. I actually looked closely at KeywordSpy (hereafter KS), as well as ispionage, while developing mine. I think both are great tools.

Here are the differences as I see them ...

1. From my perspective, they are more of a advertiser search engine. Enter some keywords and then they tell you the competition. Research each competition and find their keywords.

It's a difference in philosophy really as Campaign Sniper (hereafter CS) looks at the niche for keywords first, then branches out to find the competition. My results are much more focused towards the niche than anything you'd get from KS.

2. Organization of data -

• KS gives you keywords by competitors only. CS gives you an overview of the niche keywords and allows you to drill down to the competitor level as well. We also give you a hybrid list of the most frequently used keywords amongst your top competitors.
• CS lets you save words to the clipboard as you find them and then allows you to export all of them at once, with KS you have to mass export to xls and deal with the rest yourself

3. KS allows PPC position tracking for an additional charge, CS offers none.

4. KS ROI based on guesses and assumptions. CS bases it's ROI on you actual conversion rate, cost per click & payout.

5. KS can pull 200k+ keyword phrases for a single competitor, which is an impressive feat. CS maxes out around 2000 words for an entire niche ... which is much more managable since you can filter the list by word, sort them by volume or cpc & see the words in order of frequency by your main competitors.

6. KS is subscription based. CS allows you to only buy what you need.

7. speed! KS run circles around CS as I require 12-24 hours to complete the reporting process. Additional time is required for some of the advanced reports. That said, I think it would take fewer actual man hours to set up a campaign using my tool due to the way I present my data and allow saving keywords/adcopy as you go.

8. ad copy - they show you the ad copy (+ a cool little snapshot) but that's about it. CS allows you to save, edit, assign an adgroup and export ad copy directly into the adwords editor (others coming soon).

There are lots more but those are the main ones that I see. Again, KS is an impressive tool and while both sites are used for keyword research ... they really are quite different in the way they approach the same problem.

As far as this service, I ordered one awhile ago but the campaign I was doing it for ate shit (the offer died and I stopped promoting it)

However, for the first 2-3 days I tested it using this data, it was profitable and I can only imagine it would have continued like that.

Very worthwhile if you ask me

erect

Thanks, Emp does deserve to be plugged here since his post pointed me ... ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOCAKE

There are a few people checking out the software now who will be leaving reviews for you guys ... be patient, I've got some coming but this isn't the kind of service you can fully evaluate in a few minutes.

In an effort to jump start this thread, I'll give out reports for $25 to the next 4 people willing to give a review.

That is a sneak peak at a pretty general keyword list. At this point, my service has become more of ppc management monster than just a list of keywords .. hence the time it's taking for reviews.

Instead of just getting a spreadsheet of niche keywords & the vital data, customers are now able to snipe ad copy & keywords from the mega affiliates, snag urls to target with the content network, handle ad grouping & export your campaign directly into adwords.

So yea, it's like that on crack.

^ hrm, because the original report (when this was in beta) I got was worth far more than I paid for it. The improved version sounds ridiculous(ly awesome).

bigbyte

I have had access to this tool now for a while (and even helped on some browser related problem troubhleshooting) and really like it. The report for each campaign is detailed and gives you quite some stuff to work with. Two thumbs up from me.

Note to myself: Still need to use the remainding credits I have Just so darn busy with this one niche.

Just purchased three reports from this dude and I'm not regretting a single penny. I have yet to receive what I've purchased, but the insight and information that I've received from erect here is definitely worth it.

From the looks of what I just purchased, this is going to save so much time and many headaches. I'll give you guys some input on how this goes after I use it.

erect

Fortunately, it just got cheaper for you.

Yes, your issue threw me for a loop.

Note to users: I won't support IE8 until they start gaining market share. But at that point, they'll likely have their problems fixed ... FM$




While I've had some orders, not a single person has taken advantage of that $25 review package I offered above. Take it now or forever hold your peace.

Hey Erect can I have 2 of those $25 reports? And I would be happy to implement the ideas and give a review ASAP.

No problem guys, I'll send you some information so we can get the ball rolling.

So of the 4 people that took the $25 review, not a single one has sent a report to be processed yet ... not exactly what I had in mind for review spots.

So here I am, desperately in need of an honest review of my upgraded software to get this thread rolling. Can anyone help a brother out?

I'm up to give a review.

The process starts with a seed keyword - it should be your core traffic keyword for your sales funnel. Then the software goes out and pulls back some related keywords to supplement the process. Select 5 related keywords and kick off the processing. Come back next day, and bam, you've got about 1000+ keywords - with demand, number of advertisers and estimated clicks and bid costs. There's high priced keywords, and low priced long tails and everything inbetween.

The bid costs won't match exactly your experience - the history of your ppc account will influence that. But relative to one another, they will be consistent.

Also there's competitive ad copy when you click on a keyword -- the ability to add keywords to a 'clip board' and get additional competitive info for them -- like adsence using content placements from the organic SERPs. I'm shortchanging the product I'm sure -- but I haven't had time to completely explore it all. And erect keeps adding features too, so even if I had, I'd soon be out of date.

When you think of all the time it would take to manually compile the same information, and the likelihood that you actually will -- I'd say it's definitely worth having it done for you, so you can mine the competitive intelligence that's so freely available -- if only you had the time to collect it.

I absolutely recomend the product to all WF members. You will not be disappointed.

I purchased 3 reports generated by the beta product, and those were more than worth the price.

Erect has been generous and has upgraded those reports to the new improved version - a big plus.

3 new reports purchased, 2 of which have been used.

Use it for:

1) Choosing keywords for PPC campaigns;
2) Checking out the competitions' keywords;
3) Checking out the competitions' ad copy to help build/improve your own;
4) Checking out the competitions' landing and content pages;
5) Grouping similar keywords together for ideas on content creation; and,
6) Ideas for domain names with good SEO potential.

You can input your payout per action (CPA, lead, etc.), click-through rate and conversion rate, the tool uses your parameters and the likely cost-per-click (as marfarma stated, these won't exactly match your experience) which you may use to filter out words/phrases to create a list with the best potential ROI.

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

Erect's service saves me hours and hours of research and provides multiple ideas on how to attack various niches from both PPC and Content angles.

The video explains the tools quite clearly, and erect has been helpful with suggestions.

An excellent keyword/spy tool with great service at a good price.

Just as a heads up, I'm going out of town for a couple of days for my brother's graduation. No whining about me not returning PMs or being available for support.

Any pending reports will be processed before I leave ... new ones will be awaiting me in the queue when I return Sunday.

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.

erect

And I'm back in the game with only a modest backlog. Should be up to par soon.

Alrite coming back with my review...

Been using this tool for the past few days and I'd have to say it's really cool. Gives me plenty of resources to help my PPC campaigns succeed. Definitely worth the money I spent on it, thanks.

Thanks for all the reviews & opinions people, I'm sure there are more coming as dozens have used my ppc keyword research at this point.

Rep is kind of an intangible factor. However, If CampaignSniper sucked, my peers certainly wouldn't give me a free pass. This might very well be the only forum on the interwebs that doesn't lead sheep to the slaughter ... We're content just killing the sickly ones off ourselves.

Here's what really matters about my service: I'm offering PPC intelligence that works and has been thoroughly tested with both live campaigns & brand new pay per click start-up campaigns. I'm also helping affiliates get their feet wet with their first content network campaign ... most are very excited about this since it's a bit of an untapped resource for many marketers.

That said, the people who benefit most from my research are the newbies and, at this point, the cost seems to be the biggest barrier in getting you guys to try out my system (and PPC in general).

Due to the requests I've gotten, I've decided to offer 1st time reports to everyone for only $35. PM or post here to place this order as I'm not issuing a coupon code for it.

After you see the value of my services first hand, you'll be a repeat customer and we'll both make money money off the ppc intelligence I offer.

And remember, this is a wickedfire exclusive offer. I'm just mentioning this to remind you that being a member here definitely has it's perks. Endure the flaming ... it's worth it.

I've recently added a few things to make Campaign Sniper a little bit smarter.

1. The "own the content network" feature is now scalable. You can expand the list of targeted pages for specific domains you want to advertise heavily on. With this update, clients can now find 1000+ pages to target in a minute.

A big thanks TylerL for giving me some direction here.

2. Each keyword that has decent volume is now ran through a whois checker to see if the domain name is available in .com, .net, .org, .us & .info. If it's open, you'll get a little green check next to the keyword to let you know.

I've got a couple days worth of backlog to blow through before the new reports are at the front of the queue ... should be up to par in a few days

Think I'll try one of those. Pm me please.

profitaddiction

Well, I've been talking to erect for awhile about random things here and there, and eventually (a few months ago), I decided to test his KW services.

The first campaign I tested showed a lot of promise and was starting to make money, but the advertiser pulled the offer shortly thereafter so there wasn't much I could do.

List 1 = Success

Fastforward to yesterday and I am sitting here thinking: hot damn I need to get some campaigns going but really hate KWs. There's a pretty sick discount waiting for me so I might as well make use of it. Hell, worst case it's a writeoff and I can be a little lazy, right?

I order up a few lists, and he got the first one crackin'. Less than 24 hours after the order, I get an email saying my list is done! Hell ya, let's go peek at this. So I'm on CampaignSniper looking through the list I just ordered and decide I want to download the Excel file so I can mess around with it. I look at the destination URL of the download and see it looks something like this:

http://www.blahblabhalbh.com/id=69

Looking at my other campaign, I see that the only thing changed there is the id number at the end! Hell ya, I have access to every single campaign!!!!!!!! So I go on my way and change the number to download list "70" -

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRR NOT!

So I laugh a little and say "cute message, let me get back to my campaign"

I go back to CampaignSniper only to find

Anyways, List 2 = in the works and Security = Success

PS: I was given permission to "snoop" - I am no hacker but there are definitely measures in place. Great software, great lists.

I purchased a 1st timer $35 report a couple days ago and from what I've seen so far - this tool is absolutely amazing. It's totaly worth whatever the regular price is.

Time to put some keywords into testing and see how things turn out.

kelhalla2

will take a discounted report if there are still any left. thx

S M W

I'd like to take a 1st timer report if the offer's still available...

erect

The 1st timer discount is not something that will go away. I set it in place so that there are less barriers for PPC newcomers.

Vets that are making bank don't have a problem forking up cash for the best tools ... you've got to spend money to make it. I'm offering noobs the opportunity to get started at AM on a budget and still use the right tool for the job so you can become profitable ASAP.

I've just added an artificial intelligence feature that takes the reports and sorts similar keywords into adgroups.

After you've got your keywords in order, hit a button and CampaignSniper uses a similar AI to round up relevant ad copy and files each away neatly into your existing adgroups.

And if you think that computers can never group words together as well a humans ... you might be right, but the gap isn't nearly as wide as you might think. Check out the thread that was inspiration.

This shit will flat out save you hours setting your next campaign up.

Once I get a video cut, I'll be announcing it formally but it's currently active and ready to use.

i like this, but seems pretty expensive. I can't imagine being charged per report.. maybe a monthly fee.

bay37

The reports are well worth the price. Lets say you add 20$/day to your campaign profits (easy) thats += $600/month. They cost 50 bucks each if you buy 3 and use the discount code. Just don't use them for polls lol

erect

$35 for your first report is available ... It's mentioned in the OP

I allow subscriptions for people who run > 10 reports monthly but I don't advertise it. Most people tend to like my "pay for only what you use" policy.

Also, when you find a keyword tool that does 1/2 the job of drilling down a single niche we can talk about how expensive it is. I personally think I'm undercharging.

Every other keyword tool just returns shit they've stored up in a database. The results are cookie cutter for each and every user. These tools are great for getting an overview of all niches but lousy for helping you set up a targeted campaign.

CampaignSniper is the exact opposite. There is nothing on the market that explores a single niche like CampaignSniper does ... period. It's unique and I like it that way.

I like the idea of it, but like 150 bucks to just use the program 3 times is just ridiculous man.. even with the discount...

I'm saying this from a noobs perspective though, i need that money for testing.
