Has anyone tested out SpeedPPC? It just launched now ( a few moments ago), and it looks quite pricey at nearly $500, but potentially it’s a very valuable product. A lot of what Clicks2Customers has been doing, is building (industrial strength) technology, that SpeedPPC seems to have recreated, in a focused package. Might be nice for newer/startup affiliates. I’ll test it out later this weekend, and give some feedback in the comments section here.
From their website:
SpeedPPC Package
The “SpeedPPC Campaign Builder” Software. This is the software that pulls the methodology together and gives the system synergy. This software works for both Google AdWords and MSN Adcenter.
The Landing Page Code. This contains the code that dynamically generates the landing pages to perfectly match each keyword. Includes example templates.
The Tracking Code. We will show you using very simple code how you can track across marketing channels, even through email autoresponder series that go on for years.
“Affiliate Datafeed Landing Page Generator” software for affiliate datafeed integration.This is some extremely powerful server side software that uses affiliate datafeed files to dynamically build as many landing pages as there are products. Think about this. Using SpeedPPC you can create a new ad group for every model name. Then send the prospect to a landing page for exactly the product they were searching for. Roll out hundreds or even thousands of ad groups that cover every model that an affiliate offers.
Special in-house best practices document for obtaining great Google AdWords quality score. We’ve learned many lessons on quality score. This document outlines the actual rules we follow in house. Many might surprise you!
Expansion lists including: US city names, US state names, Australian city names, Australian suburb names, UK town names, top 1000 movie names, top 1000 music artists, top 1000 actors, top 300 Xbox games, top 300 Xbox 360 games, top 300 PS2 games, top 300 PS3 games, cell phone model names, car model names, motorcycle model names, perfumes, cosmetics, digital camera model names, video camera model names, router model names, laptop model names, printer model names, occupations.You can use these expansion lists to expose lots of long tail traffic sources that you would never otherwise be able to easily tap into without SpeedPPC.
Update: Here is a video
Another Update: Jeremy Palmer has written a great review on Speed PPC that is definitely worth checking out, given that fact that I haven’t done one yet. Nice one, Jeremy!

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
August 10, 2007 at 12:35 am
by “crawlable”, I mean putting them out there for organic search (doorway pages)

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.

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 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
August 19, 2007 at 8:44 pm
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.

>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.
September 5, 2007 at 10:14 pm
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.
September 5, 2007 at 10:26 pm
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.

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.

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.
