In case you missed it, Jay and the gang over at PPCLoophole have added a low-cost trial. For $4.95 you can get access to their training material and tools, including SpeedPPC 4.0.

It’s being mentioned all over the place and I’m certainly joining the chorus - but if you’ve been relying on Adwords for your traffic, you’ve either just been shafted or are pretty much just waiting for it to happen. Since SpeedPPC supports so many other PPC traffic sources, it seriously behooves you to learn how to use it effectively, and fast. There’s already a mad rush to other PPC platforms like Yahoo, Bing, and the 2nd tier engines… make sure you don’t miss out on what is actually a huge opportunity for some who lost their Adwords accounts. Check out SpeedPPC and start getting your traffic back!!

I got an email from Chris Carpenter a while back saying that GCD 3.0 was coming, but he didn’t tell me what was new and being a busy guy, I never did get the answer from him.

That is, until yesterday!

I got excited about Chris’ Google Cash Detective in the past but it was always just a hair shy of what I felt it really needed to be.  The raw information it contained was remarkable and my brain spun like mad on some of the possible things that could be done with it, but it lacked a few features - things I felt were pretty basic requirements - that it needed to really be something I would use on a daily basis.

It sounds like that time may have finally come.

Straight from the horse’s mouth, here’s a short summary of some of the new features in GCD 3, with emphasis added to what I’m most excited about:

First, all customers will get a free upgrade.  The new system
uses a different data base architecture and is much, much
faster than the old. It is also internally consistent which means
if you find a url, you can find it in every instance that it exists
in the database.  In the old version, sometimes you would get
a no data error message when you knew there was data there.

The coolest feature is that the system can tell when an
advertiser is using keyword tracking in their links.  It
uses the domain to group ads and therefore can pick
up campaigns that before would appear to be intermittently
run, but actually were the most sophisticated kinds that
are using split testing and tracking elements.

Now you will have access to campaigns with numerous
landing page urls that before would have seemed as
separate campaings.

Finally, you can sort the data using any and every variable
including dates which is key to dissecting what is actually
going on out there.

If you’ve used GCD in the past, you know why that last bit is in bold.  The most frustrating thing was that you couldn’t really filter by any criteria… you had to do a whole lot of mousing around and clicking on things to dig up information that should’ve been available en masse by simply choosing a filter and hitting a single button.  According to what I’ve been told, that is now a reality!  This will definitely have me back in GCD exploring it heavily.  I haven’t gotten to see this in action yet but it should be any day now that it gets rolled out fully.

I’m also particularly excited at the potential of finding campaigns that have a few keywords that are working, and running those keywords as seed terms through my KWBot keyword miner, and blowing up lists around those terms.  Since GCD is for the search network only, I think extrapolating to these long tail variations on the search terms, could be a good way to migrate a campaign onto the content network… or especially to other traffic sources all together.

Anyway, if you do affiliate marketing and haven’t checked out Google Cash Detective, you should really consider it.  It’s not for everyone but you’ll probably know in the first hour whether or not it will be of value to you and your business.

Wow I can’t believe it, but it’s true… SpeedPPC 4.0 is about to be released.

The original SpeedPPC launch prompted my first ever affiliate marketing video, which then led to lots more and still more to come.  I was a huge fan of the original product, though at that time it was the “Cadillac” of marketing tools at a $500 price point.  Since it’s launch in 2007 there have been numerous similar tools, each putting their own twist on campaign building, but as far as I know SpeedPPC started it all.

Version 4 is a huge leap over the original, but of course there have been 2 generations in between as well.  Rather than me try to explain what’s new, I’ll reprint some of their own content here for you:

SpeedPPC V4 brings with it lots of new cutting edge features that will lift the game for those who use it.

These advancements include:

Interface

• All the new features mean a shiny new interface, with customizable toolbars and improved data entry fields making it faster and easier to enter your campaign information.
• Work efficiently following a streamlined workflow – through the logically ordered tabs dedicated to each step of the campaign process.
• Manage your campaigns better with the Campaign Explorer, a Windows Explorer-type window that allows you to create, delete, refresh and rename campaign shortcuts and folders to arrange your campaigns in. Create a folder of campaign shortcuts per affiliate program or client.
• Never lose a campaign by accident with our new automatic “save on close” feature
• Save time exporting your SpeedPPC campaigns and set your output to automatically export after building
• Organize your files more efficiently by setting your default file paths that you like to save your keyword lists, ads or campaigns in. Store them all in one folder or save them separately, eg. Expansion lists in one folder, campaigns in another.
• Lots of interface improvements to allow for better workflow and ease of use.

Campaign Building

• Completely rewritten campaign building allows for 300% faster build times.
• Find more customers that are ready to buy by generating even more long tail search terms, combining up to 4 keywords lists. Building on the version 3.0 single and dual core campaign types, you’ll now see “Multi Core” campaigns allowing you to add up to 3 expansion lists that can be mixed with your main seed keywords (4 total keyword lists).
• Target domain-based search queries with added flexibility to the Domain campaign type, giving you the option to set the country codes (eg. Co.uk) and top-level domains that you want to include (eg. .org, .net).
• Enter your seed keywords as normal, with a more streamlined menu to save, clean and delete keywords.
• Decide on the long tail search terms you want to build through the dedicated expansion keyword library (in addition to your expansion keyword viewing box). Enter 1-3 expansion keyword lists and order them for mixing with your seed keyword list in any combination.
• Keyword mixing capabilities have been expanded, enabling you to mix keywords in list order and every variation. Don’t Mix Pair now allows for an additional expansion list that you can reference with SpeedPPC tokens for greater targeting ability. An additional mix type has been added called “Mix & Pair” allowing you to mix 2 keyword lists, while matching with another list to get the best of both worlds.
• Cut your campaign costs by adding negative keywords through the dedicated negative keywords output for Google AdWords, with the ability to specify negative match types.
• Improve the quality of your traffic by using the dedicated negative keyword match types with campaign and ad group level options (AdWords Editor only).
• In addition to the traditional MSN bid fields, MSN adCenter Desktop now has a dedicated section for keyword bids to match the new dedicated output file.
• A dedicated output has now been added for Content Network campaigns, based on both keywords and image ads.
• Custom output fields have been consolidated on the bids tab so they can be easily referenced in the one place. Simply choose your custom search engine, then enter your bids, etc.
• Dedicated functionality for Content Network advertisers, giving you the power to create ad groups intuitively on keyword themes and target ads at each themed ad group.
• Enjoy more flexibility in your ad group creation with expanded grouping choices including:
• Creating ad groups based on 1-3 expansion lists
• Segmenting ad groups based on keyword themes. Just feed in a list of keywords and it will instantly auto-theme them for you.
• Create multiple keyword ad groups, under the same campaign
• Get a visual on all your auto-generated ad groups with the new Ad Group Builder, allowing you to view all the targeted ad groups created and the keywords in each.
• Make quick re-arrangements using the “drag and drop” feature to drag keywords from one ad group and drop them into other ad groups.
• Quick options to add and remove ad groups from the Ad Group viewing window.
• Easily change your ad grouping and re-build your ad groups at the press of a button.

Image Ads

• Expand your reach on the Content Network with SpeedPPC’s brand new Image Ad feature
• Save time setting up your text ads by storing and retrieving complete sets of ads under both Standard and Advanced Ad builders
• The URL separator for your ads has been handily relocated to the standard ads tab, so you can control how the keywords in your ad URLs are best displayed for maximum click throughs
• Need a fresh slate? Start from fresh and clear all your ads with the click of a button.

Landing Pages and URLs

• Improve your tracking by building unique keyword URLs in the new dedicated landing page tab
• Click a button and SpeedPPC will check your URL is valid, so there are no nasty surprises after you launch your campaign.
• Improve your quality score and let SpeedPPC check your landing page for keyword relevancy before launching your campaigns.
• Improved landing page software to allow for updating existing databases by adding new records, deleting old records, or completely overwriting.

Dynamic Insertion Tokens

• We’ve added new token functionality to SpeedPPC’s unique set of dynamic insertion variables:
• Insert more relevant keywords into your ads and landing pages with additional tokens {expansion2} and {expansion3} for multiple expansion lists.
• Tracking ID tokens can be set uniquely for each match type of a keyword – track your keywords plus the match types that are performing best.
• Set two new tracking ID tokens to generate uniquely for each ad and/or ad group for even more tracking capability.

Improved Outputs

• A new dedicated output tab has now been set aside for faster uploading into Bing/MSN using the free adCenter Desktop tool.
• Quickly check your Google AdWords output prior to importing into AdWords Editor, with new headings for easy reference on each data field.
• 2 new dedicated outputs have been added for Google AdWords, streamlining your ability to upload image ad campaigns on the Content Network.
• Get a headstart on your own dynamic landing page template with an output added for simple landing page code. Use the quick copy function to insert the exact codes to dynamically generate the triggered keywords into your landing page content.
• Use the new Output toolbar to quickly build your campaigns, export multiple search engine files at once (in Excel and CSV), and open the output folder to view all your output files at once.

So as you can see, all kinds of new goodies!  Oh and did I mention that it plays beautifully with LPGen? 

Now, I’ve already said I’m a big fan of SpeedPPC - and I am.  HOWEVER… I probably tell people NOT to buy it more than I tell them *to* buy it.  Why?  Because I don’t think it’s appropriate for the majority of marketers who ask me about it.

Here’s the thing… I compare SpeedPPC to a chainsaw.  If someone handed me a chainsaw and pointed me to a forest saying “Go build a house” I can be pretty sure I’m going to come back missing at least one limb!  I know nothing about building a house, let alone how to properly & safely use a chainsaw.  But in the right hands, a chainsaw is an amazing tool and can be hands down the fastest most effective way to chop wood.

SpeedPPC is a lot like that.  It lets you do what you already know how to do, on a larger scale and much faster.  The problem is, what if you only know how to make money-losing campaigns?  Then you’ll build BIGGER money-losing campaigns, FASTER!  Not really ideal is it?

This is where I’m pleased to see that Jay & the gang are including a heavy educational component this time out.  I’ve noticed in the last year or so that they’ve been putting out some pretty good content on PPC, best practices, that sort of thing… and they appear to be taking that to the next level with their latest endeavor.  Go check out their free video series and see what I mean… it’s good stuff!

With a tool like SpeedPPC in your arsenal, it’s crucial that you have a really good foundation and strategy for using it, otherwise it’s either going to do nothing for you, or worse cause you to lose a limb.  I’ve gotten a sneak preview of some of the content they’re putting out.  It’s focusing on the fundamentals, on making incremental improvements in order to see BIG results down the line.  None of this “get rich quick” crap here… it’s solid, foundational stuff that we all could use a refresher on even if we think we know what we’re doing already.

But hey, this is a product launch right?  And product launches today are all about bonuses aren’t they?  

You’re in luck then because I’m going to offer a very exclusive bonus that, in the right hands, will make some people fortunes.  And I’m not kidding or exaggerating at all… I’m absolutely serious.

I’m going to do a repeat of the bonus I offered for PPVFormula a few months ago.  I’ve never offered this at any other time, but I think it’s especially valuable here.  Here’s what that bonus included:

1) An account with my exclusive, private, closed-doors keyword tool - KWBot.

KWBot is a world class keyword list building machine.  It will build you lists like you’ve never seen, going incredibly deep yet staying absolutely targeted.  It is *not* a simple multiplier.  It will dig up actual searched-for keywords that have little to no competition and that you can dominate with ease.  This bonus account will come with 5 credits to get you started, and since each credit will return 1,000 unique keywords into your account, that’s 5,000 keywords for you to start out with.  After that you can purchase more when you run out, for $1 per credit.

2) Access to my Prepop Power Profits report.

The subhead pretty much says it all -

“How I Built a List of Over 60,000 Optins in Less than 6 Weeks and Earned $64,821.60 in CPA Commissions Doing It!”

This was a technique that I had to uncover for myself because NOBODY was talking about it (and I mean it, I hunted high & low for anyone saying anything about prepop… and found almost nothing.) It was done all with PPV traffic although the concept applies regardless of your traffic source. I had people contact me within days of implementing this that had suddenly gone from $50/day in profits to $300/day just from this one technique. Until now this has only been available to people who referred enough leads to www.CPAHotSpot.com but you can get it without any additional effort!

3) FIRST-TIME-EVER EXCLUSIVE!

I am working on a very high level follow-up course that will be for PPVFormula community members only, designed to take Gauher’s existing techniques and crank them up with everything I have learned through LOTS of trial and error, about using PPV traffic. I’m going to GIVE you one powerful module from this course for free as part of this bonus. It’s titled “Demographic Domination” and goes in depth about obtaining and using demographic data in your PPV campaigns. This is stuff that is mentioned but really not covered in depth in PPVFormula, and will give you a huge edge in your campaigns if you utilize it.

Now, don’t downplay the significance of this.  KWBot is absolutely positively unique in the world of keyword mining tools.  There is nothing like it and I’ve had a lot of users tell me that it’s their only or at least their primary keyword tool now.  It is NOT just another “keyword research” tool.  It’s a list builder the likes of which has never been seen, and it is very exclusive.  I don’t have it open to the public, I save it just for special occasions like this, when I open the door to a few more users.  If you’d like to get some idea of what it can do, check out the tutorial videos for yourself.

The Prepop Power Profits report has made a lot of people a lot of money and is also totally unique… nobody (not that I could find anyway) aside from myself has ever really talked about prepop and what you can do with it.  Those with a creative “out of the box” mindset will LOVE this one especially.

And lastly my Demographic Domination video… again at first glance it’s just a simple little 30 minute camtasia video right?  But in the right hands, a full understanding and mastery of several demographic tools, combined with tools like KWBot and SpeedPPC, and unleashed onto the various content networks out there… well pretty much it’s “game over” at that point as I know several people doing exactly this formula.  This video was created with PPV traffic buyers in mind, but the concepts of understanding and using demographics, apply no matter what type of traffic you use.

So there you have it.  Buy SpeedPPC4 now through my link and you’ll get access to all three of these bonuses.

Oh and if by chance you already got this bonus for buying PPVFormula… well, just let me know and I’ll figure out something else special just for you. 

Happy campaigning!!

Today is a special day!  I got a note from fellow marketer and all-around good guy Matt Harward that his 40th birthday is this week!

If you don’t know Matt, you can find out about him on his blog at www.MattHarward.com and if you DO know Matt, then odds are you already pay attention to him on those rare occasions when he pops his head up out of his “cave”. 

Matt is one of those serious “underground genius” marketers.  I don’t say that lightly either… the guy operates on a different plane of existence from anyone else I’ve ever known in the online marketing world.  No joke… he has an exceedingly rare combination of extreme business smarts (how many of us have built and sold a software company for millions of dollars?  Not me!), extraordinary communication skills (how many of us have had our own radio show?  And I’m not talking on UStream either!), and technical ability (when I need “the impossible” coded, Matt is the first guy I go to… and he usually solves whatever it is within 48 hours).

So in honor of his first and only 40th birthday, he’s giving US a present!  If you’ve followed him at all you know that Matt makes absolutely freaking amazing tools and tends to just GIVE them away (sometimes I think he’s nuts but hey…  )

This week is no exception, and he’s giving away a killer private PPC tool and the information on what to do with it.

Go check it out as I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.  Matt is one of the few people that I can automatically endorse no matter what he’s doing, because I know he’s got amazing integrity and only puts out the best tools possible.

Matt is someone you absolutely want to pay attention to… you won’t hear from him a whole lot, but just consider him the “E.F. Hutton” of internet marketing.  When he speaks, people listen!

Happy Birthday Matt!!!!!!

PPCF2 will in fact be closing its doors at midnight EST tonight, Tuesday November 3rd.

That means there’s about 9 hours left as of this writing if you are thinking that PPC and CPA marketing might be for you, and to get the bonuses I’m offering:

www.tooltrainer.com/kwbot-reveal/

And don’t forget that the upsell is the one-and-only PPVFormula2.

You’re going to start seeing a whole lot of PPV courses come out in the next few months, but I still say there’s nothing as thorough as PPVFormula, and certainly nothing with the community of the PPVF forum.

There’s also nothing like the bonus I’m offering for PPVF buyers either.  See for yourself:

http://tooltrainer.com/tools/blog/my-ppvformula-payperview-formula-bonus/

Gauher’s focus is on CPA marketing, which is not for everyone.  Of course the techniques he teaches can be adapted to just about anything, but his personal focus is on CPA because that’s what he does to earn his living (I know this for a fact as I’ve sat with him in his home while he works on his campaigns & does his stats.  He’s the real deal 100%).

But if you’re not sure if CPA marketing is appropriate for you, the best thing to do is try it and see.  You’ve got 30 days to check out all the material.  But if you already know you won’t have time to get to it, or you know you won’t follow through, or this is just the next “shiny object” for you, then please save yourself the time & hassle and don’t bother.

Gauher’s materials work for those who make the time to make them work.

To all new members, welcome aboard!

Jonathan

OK, maybe not exactly a hot seat… but I certainly am gonna try to ask some good questions.

I’m going to be interviewing Gauher Monday night, at 8pm EST.  Being as I’m not one of his big success stories with PPC traffic (all his fault for teaching me PPV LOL), it will be interesting to see what he has to say to some of my questions.

I promise to make it as informational and interesting an interview as I possibly can.  Oh but I don’t know that he’s going to make a replay available so make sure you’re on it live if you want to hear it.  I know there’s over 100,000 people hearing about this already and only 1,000 spots on the webinar so, better get on early and hold your spot.

http://www.payperclickformula.com/webinar.php

I’m really looking forward to it!

Jonathan

P.S.

Let me know what questions you would ask in the comments and I’ll do my best to work them in!

OK on the off chance that you’re reading this and somehow are NOT on Gauher’s mailing list already (and you really should be if you’re at all interested in making more money from paid traffic and CPA offers in particular…) I have just one thing to day.

GO GET ON HIS LIST!  LOL

OK but seriously… the thing I wanted to be sure to mention was a strategy that he turned me onto early this year, that allows you to have a second (or third, fourth, etc.) chance at converting your visitor into a lead/sale/whatever.  Bottom line - it works.

I mean think about it - what are your bounce rates like?  Like most everyone else I’m gonna bet they’re really really high, like maybe up in the 80% range?  That means 80% of your traffic just GOES AWAY!  And believe me they’re gone… not likely to come back again any time soon and if you paid for them, then that royally sucks.

But if you can make them stop and reconsider leaving, in a way that doesn’t HAVE to be obnoxious… you’d be hard pressed to not make more money with this strategy.

So go check it out… Gauher’s giving it away along with some other phenomenal material from his PPCFormula course, totally for free.  I know you’re gonna love it.

Jonathan

I’ve been seeing this connection for years, but I had no idea that someone I am now fortunate enough to call a personal friend, was saying the same thing 3 years ago!

This is a must read especially for anyone into trading systems, algorithmic trading, automation, etc.

http://www.amish-shah.com/pay-per-click/stock-market-and-ppc-correlations

Enjoy!

Jonathan

HOLY RUSTED METAL BATMAN!!

OK but seriously, I had no idea this had happened… Gauher slipped it right under my nose.  And I like to think I’m one of his insiders!  *sniff*  Apparently I’m not as “inside” as I thought!

PayPerView Formula 2.0 has quietly sneaked its way into existence!

That’s right, if you own PPVFormula 1 you can go log into the owner’s area and lo & behold you will see a whole new 2.0 course, laid out just like PPCF2 is.

Here’s what’s listed at the top of the modules:

Latest Updates:

09/07/09 - Uploaded 15 new videos (various modules)
09/03/09 - Uploaded five Strategy videos (Module 2)
09/01/09 - Uploaded three Media Traffic videos (Module 6)
08/31/09 - Uploaded two AdOnNetwork videos (Module 5)
08/29/09 - Uploaded two TrafficVance videos (Module 4)

So it’s been out more than a week and I didn’t even know about it!  That’s just not right!  LOL

OK so what does this mean to the rest of the world?  Well, if you don’t already own PPCFormula, it means pretty much nothing since you can’t own PPVFormula any other way (yet…

BUT if you *DO* own PPCFormula already and don’t already have PPVFormula, then you WILL in fact be able to buy PPVFormula VERY SOON (i.e. tomorrow according to Gauher) if you go to the owner’s area of PPCFormula.

In case you’ve been living under an Internet Marketing Rock for a while, PPV Traffic is a largely unknown traffic source, that in the right hands is WICKEDLY powerful for all kinds of things.  It’s the sole type of traffic I used to absolutely DOMINATE the Top Affiliate Challenge reality show last year.  It’s almost the only form of paid traffic I’ve used at all for the past 18 months or so (I’ve done a splash of PPC, textlinks, and banners as well).

There are many “knock off” (to be polite) products about PPV that have popped up since Gauher literally coined the term that everyone now uses, and I’ve read many of them.  They are TERRIBLE and highly dangerous and give some absolutely horrific advice and strategies.  In my honest opinion, Gauher’s PPVFormula course is the ONLY complete and thorough course on the subject.  And the members-only forum?  Fugedaboudit!!  There is no equal to it anywhere, period.

So stay tuned as PPCF owners will be hearing from Gauher tomorrow about how they can buy it if they don’t already own it.  Existing owners can check out the new stuff NOW in their accounts.

The rest of the world?  Well don’t despair… I’ll have some exciting news for you in the near future. 

Jonathan

Wow, the last hour has really turned my world a little bit upside down.

I just got finished talking to Mr. Sniper (get the recording), the man behind most of the content in the new Aggressive Affiliates course (http://aggressiveaffiliates.com).  He’s doing some things that I actually didn’t think would even work well, and to devastatingly profitable effect!

I recorded the whole thing for your listening pleasure, it’s short but could have a tremendous impact on your bottom line especially if you do PPC marketing.  Check it out!

www. tooltrainer. com/ tooltrainer-sniper.mp3 (remove the spaces… Wordpress is being stupid)

This is really making me rethink a few things.  I’m going to have to study his material a whole lot more closely than I realized.
