Recently, I had a chance to review Google Ambush by Andrew X. It’s not that I am looking for more ways to spend money on PPC products, but rather you want to see what new PPC products are teaching these days. Google Ambush is a new product designed to help you dominate the world of Google. Unlike other pay per click marketing product on the market, Google Ambush focuses on a comprehensive approach to set up campaigns and make profit on them on Google. There are many pay per click courses that teach you the basics on how to run your own Adwords campaigns. With Google Ambush, you can easily find what products to choose to make money online. So in a sense, it is designed for pay per click affiliate marketers.

Google Ambush teaches you how to find products, the right keywords, and the right structure for your ad campaigns. Whether you are new to affiliate marketing or just want to pick up a few new tricks, you are covered with Google Ambush. Here is what I liked about Google Ambush:

• Plan: you can’t have success online without a plan. There is a difference between barely making it online and having a profitable business. Google Ambush covers all areas of niche marketing and even shows you how to create your landing pages and track your results fast. You can use the blueprint provided in the course to launch profitable campaigns one after another.
• Software: nothing can replace a good software that can automate parts or your whole business operation. A lot of marketers fail as they keep focusing on tactics rather than strategies. The software finds you profitable niches, helps you gain access to lots of profit making products, allows you to do your own keyword research, and even allows you to spy on your competitors (read all about it here).
• PPC Tools: Google Ambush not only allows you to find hot products, it helps you create your own Ad campaigns fast. You can create multiple ads and campaigns fast. And the split-test functionality is integrated into the software. So you get it all in one package.
• Landing Pages: Google Ambush comes with everything you need to create your landing pages fast. All you have to do is use the template provided to you to customize your landing pages and go live fast!
• Optimization: this was by far my favorite part. I am obsessive when it comes to testing and am all for software packages that help me test things out more easily. With Google Ambush, you get a software package that has everything you need to test your campaigns fast and find out what’s not working.

Overall, I was very impressed with Google Ambush. You are not getting an e-book that may or may not help you make more money online. You are getting a comprehensive software package that helps you find niche products, conduct your market research, find the right keywords, create your campaigns, build your landing pages, and keep testing until you pass out. Google If you are planning to outsource your Adwords processes and spend more time doing more important things with your business, you should give Google Ambush a try.

Recently, I had a chance to review CopyNProfit to see whether all the hype was justified. If you are not familiar with the product, CopyNProfit is a pay per click solution that helps you set up your pay per click campaigns fast. These guys have taken the guess work out of the process. They literally share with you the campaigns that they have used to make a killing online. That way you won’t have a blueprint to follow. You’ll have the whole thing. Plug & Play.

I was impressed with the wealth of content available through this program. The guys behind CopyNProfit have gone out of their way to make sure you see everything they are doing to prepare their campaigns. Here is what you get:

• Campaigns: all you have to do is pick a niche or keyword that you want to get started with. You get access to 37+ niches that you can choose based on popularity or supply/demand ratio. These guys have everything you need to get your campaign fast in any niche. They even provide you with data, so you know you are not taking a leap of faith. You can copy campaigns to your own PPC accounts fast with the templates available in this program.
• Ad Creator: with Copy & Profit, you get access to Ad Creator which makes it so easy to develop multiple ads on the fly. Remember, you are going to have to test things for yourself to make sure you increase your conversion and click through rates.
• Forum Marketing: if you want to make more money from your affiliate campaigns, you can always use forums to build links and drive traffic to your website. With this software, you can just find the top keywords and use them to drive free traffic through forums.
• Article Marketing: similar to forum marketing, you can increase your commission check by using your profitable keywords on your articles.

This is one innovative way to outsource your pay per click marketing campaigns. Sure. You’ll be managing your own campaigns, but these guy are doing the testing and niche research for you.  And they provide you with so much content to absorb that you are going to become a super PPC guru by the time you are done with this package. I was personally impressed by the niche list and the campaigns that you get with PlugNPlay.

PlugNPlay is not for everyone. First of all, there is a lot to go over. You are going to be bombarded with videos, campaign samples, tools, and everything in between. Secondly, you are going to have want to make money from pay per click marketing. Pay per click marketing is not for folks who are afraid of spending money online. But if you are already using pay per click to make money online, you are going to enjoy using CopyNProfit.

If you have been following this blog, you probably know about my favorite premium tool in the world. I have written a bunch of reviews on SpyFu in the past, but to be frank it has been hard to keep up with all the new features these are introducing. These guys have done it again with the latest addition to the SpyFu tool-set.

SpyFu is a great competitive research tool. You can spy on your competitors and grab their keywords and ads using standard SpyFu and SpyFu Kombat. But now you will have your very own keyword generator as well. The new tool uses Google Gears to bring you speed and convenience while you search for keywords in your niche.

All you got to do is enter your keyword phrase(s) in the search box and let SpyFu do the keyword research for you. What I really like about this new feature is those precious filters. You can ask SpyFu to give you the keywords that are within your defined CPC range. You can also filter keywords based on the number times people have searched for them. And who could miss the negative keywords filter. You can also use Advanced settings to go beyond phrase match and find out about other keywords that your competitors have been buying.

Once you run the report, you get your keywords (which you can easily export to Excel or Google Adwords), CPC per keywords, # of searches per day, and KEI. So not only you get the keywords, SpyFu also makes it easy to get your ads live as soon as possible. Define your bids, destination URLs, matching type, and you are good to do.

The latest SpyFu tool makes it much easier to rely on SpyFu to get most of your keyword research done. You are now getting your keywords, their KEI, their CPC information, and export capability all in one package. And let’s not forget SpyFu Kombat that is still one of the best SEO/SEM tools on the market. If you haven’t checked out SpyFu by now, you should definitely give it a try. These guys are known for keeping their prices low but who knows when they decide to increase their prices to cover their development costs.

One thing that affiliate PPC marketers complain about is the constant wave of Google slaps that come their way. Since Google introduced its quality score for ads, there hasn’t been a day that has gone without someone complaining about something. Some of those complaints are not justified but there are some valid arguments that can be made against Google. Google has been awfully tough on affiliates. For some reason, affiliates are looked at as a bunch of spammers who don’t care about providing value. That is obviously not true, but Google sets the rules and we all have to live with them.

Google Shadow is a PPC training course that is designed to help affiliates get over the hump that has become Google Adwords. Google Shadow shows affiliates how they need to go about designing their Adwords campaigns to save money and achieve higher conversion rates. In essence, you learn how:

• top affiliates make money from ClickBank and PayDotCom products without doing too much work. There is some work involved but after doing it for a while, you’d think you are running on an autopilot.

• to properly design you affiliate PPC campaigns so you are not slapped by Google left and right. If you have worked with Adwords for a while, you have probably seen how frustrating it is to have Google slap your campaigns and increase your bids. If you have a specific CPA in mind, Google can throw a wrench in all your plans by increasing your minimum bid ten folds.
• to run your Adwords business as a profitable business. When I say as a business, I mean like a real corporation. A lot of folks treat Adwords as a hobby. They spend money on it but don’t spend time finding ways to make their campaigns profitable. You are going to learn exactly how to handle multiple campaigns like a pro.

But perhaps the best of Google Shadow package is the software that you receive with your service. Not only you learn how to implement Google cash methods (driving traffic directly to affiliate landing pages), you also have a software that allows you to automate the process of running a profitable business on Google Adwords. As you know, Google Adwords system is a sophisticated system that calculates your quality score on the fly. But there are things you can do to increase your quality score. For instance, you can use LSI keywords to give your pages more relevance. You can use keywords dynamically in your adds and display URLs to improve your scores dramatically. That’s what makes Google Shadow software great. The software allows you to create your campaigns fast with every little tweak that allows you gain maximum quality scores on Google.

Google Shadow also comes with a set of case studies that show you how to use the system to make cash via affiliate marketing. The software is very easy to use, and as long as you know your basics, you should be fine. Don’t expect Google Shadow to make you a millionaire if you don’t know what affiliate marketing is. This software is designed for folks who have been in this business for a while and want to move their affiliate business to the next level. If you are new to affiliate marketing, you’ve got to start somewhere, but don’t make Google Shadow your first stop.

Verdict: A-. Google Shadow may be a bit pricey, but it is a worthy investment for anyone who’s stuck in the affiliate marketing world. What do I mean by the word “stuck?” I don’t necessarily mean folks who are not making any money. If you are struggling to take your affiliate business to the next level, then you should definitely give Google Shadow a chance. It’s not for everyone, but those who use it the right way can see dramatic improvements fast.

Adsense Wealth Empire is one of the most anticipated Adsense course of the year. The course has a certain exclusivity to it:

1. It is designed for folks who want to make a fortune with Adsense

2. It requires a bit of a money to acquire it.

3. Only 200 copies are released.

With that in mind, I have decided to review Adsense Wealth Empire 2008 to decide whether it is right for you. I first came across Adsense Wealth Empire training set in 2007. I remember downloading a report that talked about how you can make a fortune with Adsense. At the time, I was still in school, finishing my MBA. Now, I got to be honest with you. Being an executive and making millions is something that has always been attractive to me. But being lazy and creating a wealth empire has been even more attractive.

Once I finished school, I started building my very own Adsense empire. The amount of passive income that you can earn with Adsense can really surprise you. For a long time, I assumed that you can only make a few bucks a month from Adsense, but after hanging out with folks who are consistently pulling in $1K a day, I realized how I had missed this great opportunity. Better yet, I realized that in order to make money with Adsense, you are going to have the right strategy. In general, you need to have a:

• Publishing Strategy: you can’t put your eggs in too few baskets. The best way to make money with Adsense is to have many pages that bring you more targeted ads. That’s what building an Adsense portal is all about. You are trying to grab a traffic market share and act as the middleman between advertisers and searchers.
• Traffic Strategy: once you have your pages up, you can’t just pray to God to bring you more traffic. You’ve got to do something about it. Having the right traffic strategy can make all the difference.
• Linking Strategy: this really goes back to the previous point. But you need to find ways to get links for your pages and climb the rankings ladder.
• Niche Strategy: finding the right niches can help you make thousands of dollars. Think about it. A portal about law can earn you as high as $5 a click. Would you rather settle for a niche that doesn’t pay that high?

Adsense Wealth Empire covers all the above strategies and more. You’ll not only learn how to drive traffic to your site, and how to pick the right niche, but you’ll also get the tools that you need to build massive web portals (I personally use HyperVRE).

Negatives:

It’s tough to see a negative in a package that promises you to make a million with Adsense, right? The truth is, the coverage is comprehensive, and you’ll a lot of bang for your buck. But the package can’t teach you the creativity that you may need to make a million. I would say, don’t get discouraged if you are making $50-$100K with this package. Not everyone will be a superstar, but you give me $100K a year only from Adsense, and I’ll take it. Wouldn’t you?

In addition, some of the techniques that are covered in the course are a bit advanced and can confuse newbie marketers. Don’t get me wrong. By watching the course thoroughly, you are going to pick up the nuggets you need to get started with building your empire, but don’t expect to go over this package in a couple of hours.

The package is pricey and not for everyone. I wish there was a way to share this info with more folks so everyone could benefit. But the truth is, if more folks know about it, there is a good chance the market becomes saturated and the business becomes less profitable for all the folks involved.

Positives:

Information: the good folks behind this package have gone out of their way to provide a package that is comprehensive and teaches you how to fish. You’ve got to have the dedication to do out and do it, but the opportunity is there.

Teaching Style: I don’t know about you, but I always get motivated by folks who are passionate about the topic they are talking about. These guys are certainly passionate about Adsense, and you can feel it in their voice.

Techniques: While everything covered in this course is white hat, you are still going to get your hands on some techniques that are not discussed anywhere. Don’t for a second think that you are paying that kind of money for second rate information. This is top notch stuff here.

Should you get it?

It really depends on you. Not everyone’s going to be able to afford Adsense Wealth Empire. And not everyone who can afford it should get it. Think about it. If you are not going to use this information anytime soon, let others who are dedicated and need it get their hands on it first. It’s not fair to keep folks out (knowing that only 200 copies will be available). Adsense is not for everyone.

Where to go next: the course will be out soon. I do encourage you to read the Adsense Manifesto and Adsense Wealth Report to figure out if the course is right for you. This is not a course you should buy without doing proper research. So do yourself a favor and read the information provided to see if a career in Adsense is something you want to follow.
