I found a website that does the same thing as speedppc, plus some nice other amenities for only $30. I just created my campaigns for almost 20x cheaper than speedppc :) http://instant.ppc-max.com

Mullman it seems to me that you are being deliberately obtuse.

At no point did I say my software was a complete match for SpeedPPC. Neither did I mention doing things by hand.

If you check my post you'll see the two points I mention that do match.

As for 'manually' have I mentioned doing anything manually?

You talk as if you run this software and walk away. That's the Holy Grail. You must at least create a template for your landing page. Write your Ad copy. Research keyword competition.

The point I was making about the landing page is that with the right knowledge you can create just one and tailor that one, on the fly, to each and every visitor keyword.

Effectively taking the keyword searched for through Adwords and out the other end to place on your landing page.

Set it up once and its 'automated'. ;)

I've been using Adwords since day one. My software is now just over 3 years old. It's taken that long for someone to come along and do something similar with the keywords. ;)

Again, you are missing the point: of course you can do it manually- the program is called "SpeedPPC", not "PPC-only-with-this-software".

I've been doing PPC for years, and I'm a Google Certified Professional. All of the things I know and do, for myself and my clients, are the time-consuming 'hand optimizing' that is completely impractical on any kind of scale.

Sure you can do it by hand, this isn't black magic' - however it IS the first, and as far as I know ONLY application that will do all of the things a skilled PPC expert would do, from campaign through landing page, to achieve maximum Quality Score on a previously unattainable scale.

I'll admit that there's no datafeed integration. But the ad copy matching the searched for keyword which in turn matches the landing page copy and meta data is straightforward to achieve without any software.

And it doesn't require creating thousands of ads and landing pages for each keyword.

This 'ppcaccelerator' is a nice keyword generator, but to compare it to SpeedPPC misses the point entirely. SpeedPPC's "magic" is in optimizing an entire campaign to achieve maximum Quality Score, with the additional ability to incorporate a merchant's entire product line (datafeed). The result is a perfectly coupled match between keyword, ad, adgroup, and landing page. You are able to target keyword phrases that just wasn't previously practical, and create perfectly targeted campaigns that would have taken days or weeks to do, IF you understood how to do it.

>However I would not be surprised if we see competitors with $47 - $97 price tags very soon.

I can't resist jumping in here. My own software is already out there. ;) It expands on keywords in exactly the same way that Speed PPC does and more.

You can also get the landing page code for f.ree via my free 'Weird Adwords Mini Course'.

All for just $67. There are also a couple of videos on the site of the software in action -

Vinny, I don't want to offend by making this little promotion, but I feel it's relevant to the comments.
I totally unbderstand if you delete this.

I do actually have speedppc running on my desktop at the moment and must say that it does exactly what is says on the tin, but nothing more. In a nutshell it will combine seed keywords (parent keywords) with expansion keyword (more targeted keywords) I.e., add some cities on, or domains, etc. I personally do not think the price tag is justified, but it certainly does speed the process of PPC keyword+add campaign.
However I would not be surprised if we see competitors with $47 - $97 price tags very soon.

I believe that there is a competitor to speedppc called ppcriches, however is actual has much more features such as landing page creation. I think its downside maybe affective to it being an expensive membership site. But does have some great features. I know of another chap whose from the UK living in China but moving back next month doing something similar. I believe we are going to see a lot of competitors, which will be good for us the consumer :)

Unfortunately, my Windows PC is in for an upgrade - so I personally haven't tested it. I can say that the Clicks2Customers team are quite impressed and have purchased a copy of it.

I heard about SpeedPPC shortly after it was released. Since the bulk of my income comes from PPC affiliate marketing, I was very interested. As soon as I read through the sales page, I 'got it' and purchased it immediately. Knowing what it does, how, and why, I have very high expectations, and I don't expect to be disappointed.

by "crawlable", I mean putting them out there for organic search (doorway pages)

Re: SpeedPPC

Matt L — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 20:34:17 -0000

Dario - pose a threat? What does that even mean? The point of CPC advertising is to put up ads that get a customer a product, an advertiser some money, and the search engine some money in the process. For example, "G" wants specific ads for specific keywords - so long as you're not making them crawlable, you're fine.

Thanks for the mention, Vinny. Much appreciated! I look forward to reading your review.

Dave Davis, I can't imagine what you think Jay and I may be hiding. That seems to me to be a weird thing to say. If you read our About Us page, you can see who are and know that we're in this for the long haul.

There's a money-back guarantee but almost no one requests it. We've already sold hundreds of copies of SpeedPPC and our refund rate is just under 1%. As I'm sure you know, that's amazingly low for an Internet marketing product.

I've purchased Speed PPC and I rather test the product and request a refund if the product does not live up to its reputation. The only risk involved is being unwilling to ask a refund if you arent satisfied.

Re: SpeedPPC

Dave Davis — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 12:45:09 -0000

The price is far too high for a product without a demo IMO. If this tool does what it says it does, fine, I will gladly part with up to $1000 but there is something about the sales page that is hiding something.

Once that issue is resolved, I think they will have a few more customers.

Looking forward to your review Vinny.

Pardon my lack of knowledge on the subject of Adwords, but doesn't a program like speed PPC pose a threat to CPC advertising by making it too easy to generate research results?

Google i'm sure, was well aware of the bad advertising tactics that companies would try utilise with its Adwords service, and therefore in the Video Adwords help page (future billboards), and in other Adwords help centre pages, google has stated a number of rules it utilises in order to avoid tactless advertising methods (capitalization rules, character limitations, grammar rules etc).

Hence, doesn't a program like this actually pose a threat to the standard Adwords advertisments that advertisers and affiliates utilise? Or perhaps it will be a good thing, and push internet marketers to explore new methods and advertising techniques... just a thought

Hi Vinny,

I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts on SpeedPPC. Looks kinda interesting (but not groundbreaking). Who do you think is winning this race at the moment?

Re: SpeedPPC

cschultz — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 16:57:21 -0000

Vinny -

I just purchased this software since we are working on setting up PPC programs. I have been using AdWords downloaded editor for a few weeks, and this integrates perfectly into is. Adwords editor has a tool called "keyword grouper" that helps you create narrowly focused Ad Groups, but the expansion on this that Speed PPC enables is pretty powerful. I haven't fooled around with the integrated data feeds yet, but as far as a powerful, targeted Ad Copy and URL generator, this fits the bill. It's expensive, but a lot of the $97 tools stink, so at least this does what it says its going to. I'll weigh back in after I see the effectiveness of a few campaigns. Hope you get your commission based on my purchase. Thanks for turning me on to it.

I'm amazed at all the buzz this software is generating. I definitely didn't expect to find it mentioned here.

I am interested to hear your findings though. Especially on how they structured the work flow.
