Affiliate Espionage

Problem:

• What keywords are the top advertisers using in their Google Adwords campaigns and for how long to give you an idea of what words to target.
• Low budget campaign
• Tweaking takes forever to develop a track record to know if your Google Adwords Campaign is really working or a fluke
• Help figuring out what keywords you need to be competing with.
• What other affiliates advertising here?
• Are they successful?
• Do they use landing pages or link directly to the merchant?
• If they are successful are they successful in other markets?
• What ad copy should I use?
• Will I lose money?
• What keywords are they using? 

Solution:

Affiliate Espionage is a FireFox plugin to help solve these problems and help you focus on only keywords that are converting.

No existing database of keyword history campaigns comes with the plugin. There is no Affiliate Espionage database to download, import, or steal from, you have to make your own from your own set of keywords. This makes sense as you would not want others to have your keywords either!! If everyone with the Affiliate Espionage plugin had the same information, it would do no one any good.

Pros:

• The plugin works by utilizing individual keyword searches you make in Google, providing you with all the necessary stats that are presented on the Affiliate Espionage website.
• A Google search presents you with highlighted fields next to each individual ad.  Each highlighted area contains a plethora of information about the Ad campaign, such as length it's been used, keywords used, landing page url, and even has the ability to find out which advertisers are using affiliate links on the landing page.
• You can do batch processing setup on a set schedule, that way you can really tell if a keyword is working for an affiliate.
• Take a snap shot of ad campaigns for just a few weeks, a month, or more to get accurate data that you can start building affiliate sites and Adword campagins around.
• The majority of the research is done for you once you set up a campaign.
• The software will do all the research for you according to the parameters you set, and relay the information to you only after the facts have been established.

Cons:

• No existing database of keyword history campaigns comes with the plugin.

Final Word:
The automatic process of pulling Adword campaign information for any competitors ad is well worth the measly $9.97 you will spend ONCE ONLY on this FireFox plugin.  And if you are new to online marketing and looking to get your feet wet with Adwords, this tool could save you countless dollars wasted on finding the best converting keyword combinations.

I do not make any money off this recommendation.
