Google Ambush - Anyone tried it?

97 replies
Hello all!

I just recieved a promo email today about the new "great" Google Ambush, and it looks good.

But my experience with nearly everything that has "google" in the product name have been a bummer. - Especially the classic "Get googleads for free".

As well as other $67 products with extremely long salespages.

But this one looks great, at least ever taking a look at all of the testimonials from the Guru's! REALLY impressive!

So I was just wondering, have anyone tried it out yet? It made me kind of curious, so I would really like to know if this is "the real deal" after all.

Eagerly waiting for replies,
- Preben

      Did I read the the salespage wrong or did it say it could create a landing page for EACH keyword? That would really help get you a high quality score. I was suspicious however of the "good old boy network" of guru testimonials. If it's really that good why not give testimonials from average struggling marketers that have successfully used the product?

    I got it and I have to say it's been a damn long time since I've been this impressed with a product. Especially one with all the hype. This software is really amazing and blows anything out of the water that is out there today.

    This will definitely help any affiliate marketer with any campaign, PPC or not.

    This is like having 5 of the best tools rolled into one. Just one of em is well worth the price of the product and more.

    I'm not an affiliate and I am not associated with the software owners. Just giving my honest review. If you are serious about making money as an affiliate, then I highly recommend you invest in this. You'll make your money back in no time.

    On the downside, I would not recommend it for a complete newbie. If you have a basic understanding of affiliate marketing, then you'll be fine.

    Marcus,

    from reading your comments and looking at the sales page, I guess my initial thoughts of, was it Traffic Hurricane(?) that spat out a lot of spammy pages with very little content, are unfounded?

    You say "any campaign, PPC or not." Do you really think it would help affiliates who shy away from PPC and are into, say, article marketing etc?

    I'd be interested in your thoughts on that.

    Cheers,

    Michael

      I'd love to know as well if anyone tried this. I didnt have a great feeling about stuff like google nemesis for example and I actually also have ppcclassroom, the online ppc course. I wonder also how automated it all is, and how much work we will still have to do ourselves. Eg. do we still need to do extensive keyword research really, and are we all competing in the same niches after using GA. Thanks for any honest views.

      So Marcus, for someone who are only able to set up extremely ugly landingpages on their own, you would recommend it? - Well In that case,I'm IN!

      I have never had any success with ppc before, so I am a bit sceptic about "Incredible PPC software", as I lost over $200 with my first shot at ppc.

      But I'll try to get my hands on it. In that case I'll review it on my blog, as well as post my thoughts about it here.

      However, the landing page generator is what's most appealing.

      Have anyone else tried it?

          A possible downside to this is that a lot of marketers will be competing for the top Clickbank products.

          Does it allow you to add your own landing page themes/templates?

    Well it sounds great for now. But is it possible to use it for other products than clickbank? - Although it might be the easiest, CPA offers can be great for ppc as well.
    And would you recommend it for beginner-intermediate ppc marketers?

    After all, I don't need "learn beginners affiliate marketing" video's, I need fantastic ppc software =P

    Anyways, sounds good. Especially that you can upload it directly to adwords, and the landing page creator.

    Thanks for your review - Looking forward to the review of the upsell and bonuses.

    Hi all, i have previously invested in Google Slasher/affiliates Den and Google Nemesis.

    Well this really blows them out of the water!

    Great interface, it also has some great features and it has impressed me no end.

    Just look at the fully integrated way these guys have promoted the program online. It's the way forward!

    I will report back when I have started my new Ambush PPC activity.

    Cheers Wrighty

    I got it to test out last night, little tip for all....dont buy from main sales page..go to close window..when pop over comes up, click cancel to stay on current page, an offer appears and you can buy for 4.95 for 7 days.
    This price increases after 7 days to full price, but 7 days is enough time to evaluate the package.
    I will report more about it when i have given it a few days to explore.

    Very helpful reviews everyone. Of the ones that have tried so far what do you think the initial PPC budget is going to be to see results. The sales page really doesn't go into the investment required to see those kinds of results. Might be nice to know before purchasing

    Thanks

          michael- this is nothing like traffic hurricane.

          this software is similar to Google Nemesis, but the review pages are totally different. And you can customize them in ANY way you want. You can add html anywhere.

          You can use this for PPC, your own products, or anything else. the pages you create don't need to be for PPC.

    Just a quick note, had a scan through the training videos, basically it's a one place hub for product research, keyword research, ad creation, landing page creation and tracking.
    But it is not as automatic as it is advertised, multiple ad groups and landing pages are not generated from your keywords, you have to do it manually, although it does carry over a lot of the text etc from the last ad / page created.
    Also the video about tracking shows a lot of features as coming soon, but not available yet, and the few campaigns in the video are all new, with no stats to show exactly what the campaign produced.
    According to the sales page these techniques have made thousands, so wouldn't it have been nice to see the stats from one such campaign, to show how the tracking down to ad group level etc actually shows the winners from the losers.

    On the whole it is pretty good for beginners, and the landing pages (which are google nemesis type review pages and even have the same graphics) are hosted by the ambush site so that saves a little bit of expense and a makes things easier to get up and running quickly, but it is not that cheap as a recurring billing product, plus equivalents to most of the tools included are available free, such as cbtrends.com, spufu and the google keyword tool (which is where the keywords are pulled from anyway).

    But hey thats just my opinion !
    Try the 4.95 7 day option above (not an affiliate link!) and see for yourself.
    Cheers
    Ian

    A note on support.
    I bought in and I'm blown away by the software and all tools etc. However....
    I also opted in for the upsell - advanced videos but have been unable to access them. The final "complete your purchase" page was the same page for the main product. ie "you'll be billed $67 p/month etc
    So I just closed that page. Note to self "check credit card statement"
    I have put in two messages through the 'contact' system within Ambush regarding this but no reply so far. I figure they're a bit busy over in Denver right now so I'll try again in 24 hours.
    The system itself looks damn awesome but I would like those videos.
    Anyone who has watched them please post your honest opinion. ie are they worth the expense?

      Thanks everybody for the helpful early insights into google ambush. I think I'm not going for it. I purchased google nemesis, but decided later to cancel. I just didnt get that good feeling you get when reading the salespage. And this programme had a very similar look and feel. You're reviews, or some of them, confirmed what I felt. And the thing is: there comes a point when one should stop spending and actually start doing something . See if you can find free stuff on youtube or something. A lot of how to knowledge is free. Good luck.

        Hello Warriors,

        My name is Andrew X, and I am one of the Google Ambush creators.
        I wanted to make a post here to thank you all for your comments and feedback.

        Before I address some of them...

        brand-all - I apologize for the delay in replying to your support ticket. But please PM me your receipt and I will personally upgrade your account to the Advanced membership level.

        Now I wanted to address some of the points mentioned in this thread from the oldest to this point in time.

        Maverick4u:

        Yes, you can make an unlimited number of landing pages, so you can make 1000 of them for your 1000 keywords if you want. We'll be adding a "Clone" feature to make this process faster, so you can copy a previous landing page and simply change the keywords in the title etc to boost your Quality Score. The only exception to this is if someone has created a landing page in the same category with the exact same keyword string... but we'll be adding a work around to this if it becomes an issue

        MarcusXavier:

        Thank you for your honest review and for your kind words. We're passionate about this software, and truly believe it will help all affiliate marketers, irrespective of skill level and experience. I, for example, find the product finder INCREDIBLY useful and use it daily. It has many more features than cbtrends.com and puts Clickbank's marketplace search box to shame

        Oh, and this comment perfectly sums up how I, as a creator, feel about
        Google Ambush:

        "This is like having 5 of the best tools rolled into one. Just one of em is well worth the price of the product and more."

        It's true... plain and simple.

        As for your comment about this not being for the complete newbie... we will be adding some videos covering the basics of affiliate marketing, so we'll get them up to speed in no time at all

        michaelbeauchamp:

        Sorry, Im not familiar with Traffic Hurricane...

        But Google Ambush does not create any spammy pages or sites. The member can create them however, as the entire landing page is customizeable

        To answer your question:

        "You say "any campaign, PPC or not." Do you really think it would help affiliates who shy away from PPC and are into, say, article marketing etc?"
        Yes, I do. The only step an article marketer would not use is Step 3, which is the Adwords campaign creator and loader. That leaves the Product Finder tool, the keyword research tool, the Landing Page generator and the Tracking tool. So any one interesting in making money online can use this... Article marketers could for example use the landing page generator tool to create a lead capture page where they can add their Aweber or GetResponse code (or any other autoresponder for that matter) and start building their list. No hosting fees... super convenient.

        JBanis:

        An honest answer is this.

        I do use it... and I do like it (yes, Im super biased... but that doesn't stop me from being honest!)

        No, you are not necessarily competing in the same niches. Clickbank has over 7000 active products in the marketplace, so there is plenty of room.

        But its the same as any affiliate marketing campaign. Pick a popular product and you'll have more competition, which is not always a bad thing
        anyway.

        Preben Frenning:

        First off, thank you for starting the post.

        To answer your question about the landing page generator.

        This is completely customizeable. The only thing thats not customizeable is the graphics template, which is probably a good thing anyway because it means consistent and attractive landing pages are always generated. And yes, we will be adding more templates and even more features.
        The fact you can enter your own HTML is an incredible advantage, and is something Google Nemesis did not offer, for those who are wondering.
        As for burning $200 on PPC... it's not a waste of money, as it was a useful learning experience that you will try your best to never repeat. If you want to learn PPC the proper way, you should pick up a copy of GoogleMassacre.com which is the best and most recent guide on PPC available today (yes, I'm biased, but this beast is over 200 pages, so to say it's comprehensive would be an understatement).

        Amfire:

        Thanks for your review.

        Your summary is very accurate, and yes, we have some super additions and advanced features lined up for each of the tools. Google Ambush is here for the long term, so we'll be constantly adding new features and tools as we go along, and we welcome any suggestions from members too

        Preben:

        CPA offers can be used with this, but the tracking step would not be particularly useful to you. But if you also use and market Clickbank products then it will quickly become useful to you.

        And unlike most Clickbank products we have REAL and ongoing costs, such as Google API charges for every member. We've integrated Google beautifully within the app to make the experience great for our members.
        This is part of the reason why we need to charge a monthly subscription fee

        Ian:

        Thank you for this comment:

        "Well this really blows them out of the water!"

        Google Ambush is a fantastic tool for all marketers, and we designed it in the same way Steven and I go about marketing products. It's a step by step system, and it follows those 5 steps. Google Ambush speeds up the process to no end, which means you can achieve a lot more in your marketing efforts.

        Hag888y:

        Cheeky... Cheeky... Cheeky!

        Ok, how about I save everyone the trouble... here is the DIRECT 7 day trial payment link... its just $4.95 for 7 days access:

        5.ghijack.pay.clickbank.net - copy and paste it in your browser (sorry)

        That saves you the hassle. But feel free to NOT use it and join for 30 days at $67

        SJG:

        Sorry, determining a PPC budget is an impossible thing to do. In my experience at helping newbies succeed, I usually suggest you set aside $5 a day when you're using Google Adwords.

        Start small. Make Mistakes. Learn. Improve. Profit. Conquer.

        That's all there is to it.

        mjbmedia:

        If you dont have great HTML skills then yes, this would be good as you can use the landing page generator to create pages that promote your own product very easily.

        hag888y:

        It is pretty automated, but yes, you still need to do some 'work'. When you get used to each step you'll find you'll go from Step 1 to Step 5 within 20 to 30 minutes.

        Yes, we have many cool features on their way soon. This is far from it
        We have integrated many different tools within Google Ambush, so its really a one stop affiliate tool. But we have also extended many of these tools too, and have designed it to be a step by step process to make it a million times easier

        For example, CB trends has NOTHING on our Step 1

        But thanks for sharing your opinion, and yes, its well worth a shot for 7 days at a minimum!

        MarcusXavier:

        Yes, the HTML is an awesome feature as it means you can add whatever you want on the page, with very little restrictions.

        And yes, you can use most of the steps for ANYTHING.

        PPC, your own products, article marketing, blogging, list building, CPA, plus so much more

        Amfire:

        Thanks once again for the review.

        We will be adding many more videos to the Bonus and Advanced Video Series over the next two weeks

        But we put the quality score series in there because its super important to understand that when building a landing page using the landing page generator.

        Oh, and feel free to PM me ideas as to what you'd like us to teach. We're very open to suggestions from our members.
        brand-all:

        PM me, please. I'll upgrade your account. (forgive me if I take a few hours as I need to grab some sleep... but I will do it first thing when I come back online)

        RC7000:

        Thats a very easy statement to make but can you name a single product or service that has all of these features incorporated within it? Im curious to know... but thanks for sharing your thoughts.

        JBanis:

        Seriously?! So you're saying you'd prefer to go and spend hours searching aimlessly on Youtube than to invest $5 to get access for 7 full days to the software? Do you not value your time? Spend the $5, and I personally guarantee you'll learn so much more than youtube will ever teach you.

        I wanted to spend the time addressing each of your comments.

        While I may not agree with some of the statements I certainly appreciate the feedback, comments and suggestions.

        And like several people mentioned... if in doubt, invest $5 on getting the 7 day trial. You can grab it here directly:

        5.ghijack.pay.clickbank.net - copy and paste it in your browser (sorry)

        Wow... that was one long post. Sorry!

    It really helps a lot. Now I think I will try it out next week, and write a review on my blog for it. I will set aside $10 a day for the entire week, and see if it works. ( $5 for adwords, and $5 for an article ;o))

    But how come you only have 1 post? Doesn't EVERYONE with a famous product hang out a lot at the WF?

    Does anyone know what are the upsells and how expensive they are? Brand-all mentioned "advanced videos". Is it the only upsell?

    Hi,

    Preben:

    "Doesn't EVERYONE with a famous product hang out a lot at the WF?"

    Ummm... no

    Not every marketer spends their time in the Warrior Forum. I'm too busy looking after my members and business to be in here posting.

    But I do read posts all the time to hear what Warriors are thinking

    Ste25:

    No, my name is not Chris, it's Andrew

    To those who have snagged a membership to Google Ambush, congratulations, and thank you.

    Now, this is NOT marketing hype, but we will be increasing the price for a membership to Google Ambush to $77 a month, so I'd suggest anyone wanting access grab a membership now and lock in the launch discounted rate.

    Just thought I should give Warriors some advanced notice

    Must run,

    Andrew

    Hi warriors,

    I've bought Google Ambush and all I can say that it will certainly help you cut down the time you need to find a product, doing keyword research, setting up your adwords campaign, generating your landing page and setting up your tracking.

    I've just went through the first tool - Product Finder.

    Can you find a tool that actually tells you which product is rising up fast in the clickbank marketplace in the last 1, 7 or 30 days? And at the kind of price that the Google Ambush people charge?

    Maybe you guys have seen something like it but I have certainly not.

    I have only gone through the 1st tool and I'm already amazed.

    The thing is that you have to take action and focus on what you are doing. Don't jump around too much ok..

    Just my 2 cents worth!

    Hi guys Wrighty here again, just like you all I have been earning money online one way or another over the last 10 years.

    This system is so much better than anything else out there.

    It saves time, it's innovative, the return potential is enormous.

    I have bought em all Google Adwords Affiliate X, Nemesis, Slasher, and loads more this really does blow them all out of the water!

    Do youselves a favour and at least try it out!

    This week I am earning money off the back of it and no I won't ask you to go through my link -

    I don't say this lightly if you get this or even try it out you will be gobsmacked about its potential.

    Oh and by the way the way I am earning money off it is by promoting it online.

    I just hope you try it out for yourselves and heh if it does not live up to the hype I will personally apologise to you. Trust me it lives up to the hype!

    Take Care Wrighty and good luck with it.

      Hi brand-all, thanks for the reply, I have most keyword affiliate spyware so given its very knew its hard to pick off a KW list from Ambush at the mo.

      However the keywords you are supplied with as an affiliate and my own secret KW list is driving large amounts of traffic.

      The real question is am i making money with it yes is the answer and very healthy returns as well.

      The key with any affiliate programs are to only promote the ones you really believe in and offer outstanding potential.

      When Andrew (who by the way I had never met says the potential is enormous then believe me it is unbeleviable)

      I have 14 years of highly successful sales and marketing experience and deal with major worldwide and regional brands on a daily basis and believe me the potential of this is enormous.

      I also deal with the major media companies on a daily basis across offline and online media. So to be frank I really do know what I am talking about.

      Oh and if some of you would like to know how you can find out what major brands will be advertising in 2-6 months time (think about how valuable that information would be in your future affiliate marketing promotions then drop me a line or a post)

      I have sweated blood and tears over the years earning extra monies online.

      Systems like Google Ambush are innovative and speed up the affiliate process immensley and will revolutionise affiliate marketing forever.

      Yes there will be teething problems but there always are but these guys will resolve them and make the system better = more monies for affiliates.

      I will share some of my promotional secrets if any one is interested over the next few days.

      As always never give up, keep smiling, and if you have the drive and determination you will succeed.

      Hey if you are on this forum then you have the will already!

      I hate to say this but with all the people being laid off the web traffic is already increasing and guess what they are already seeking out how to make money online/offline.

      You then couple that with debt situation and this is not going to go away. If you offer people real quality products and help them to help themselves you are onto a winner! For both you and them.

      We can all benefit from this and eventually so can they, that's the beauty of affiliate marketing and the web.

      If you ever need proof read up on how Google started! 2 guys a garage and a fax machine!

      Cheers

    I got it yesterday and well I am not impressed so far. But I have only played with it for a couple of hours. Also I do not know a lot about Clickbank from before.

    The finding products (Clickbank) functionality evolves a lot around sorting CB serps in a way that is not possible at the CB site. You can also sort the searches by gravity score within a timeframe. For example +50 gravity score within the last 7 days.

    The keyword research is by my judgement very basic and does not add any value compared to Googles own tool.

    The AD tool does not add any value. I though I would get some help to write ads inside the prog but I havent discovered anything like that yet.

    There is a spy on keywords option to check out the competitions ads. So far it it has not found any ads on the keywords I am testing.

    I havent cheked out the landing page generator or the tracker yet.

    Thre is an uppsell on how to videos. I did not get those.

    I would love to hear from somebody else that got it. I will check in again within a few days with more experience.

      Hi all,

      I wanted to make another post to respond to...

      LarsG
      :

      If you looked a little closer you would have seen a "Coming Soon" feature next to the Keyword Spy tool... which is why it hasn't returned any ads for you yet

      I disagree about the Campaign loader tool, as it does add value.

      Here's how:

      1. It integrates Google Adwords into the one system, which means you save time.
      2. It makes the listing of campaigns much easier and faster.
      3. For most Adwords newbies, it makes the process very very simple.
      4. You will be able to import ads from the spy tool (like I said, coming super soon)
      5. Plus a few other things that I won't elaborate on here...

      Oh, and as for the keyword research tool... you would also have seen 2 new features that will soon be added

      Anyway, just wanted to share the facts with everyone.

      Best wishes.

    Hi Andrew X. Just a couple of question in my mind before trying it out.

    1)How long do you think a complete newbie in clickbank/adwords and affiliate marketing to pick those techniques up. Because there seems like a lot of stuff to learn.

    2)What about conversion rate? The reviews so far only talk about how good the system automates. How are the conversion rate if you had used the system yourself? I am actually quite skeptical about ppc as i loss quite a amount before without getting any sales.

    3)What is the difference between this and google nemesis by chris.

    4)Will this system become useless after it is flooded by thousands of people using the same technique used.

    Thanks so much of your time

    Cheers

        Hi Andrew

        I have posted a query twice through your Ambush support page but have had no responses. I purchased the software but it gives me no option to research keywords. All I shows is no saved searches. When I see the videos it shows that when you hover your mouse over any of the menu items, a dropdown appears with various options. But no such things happen in my version.

    Hi,

    Ok, some more replies for you all...

    secretonlinebiz:

    1. Well, for complete newbies there is a lot to learn about making money on the internet regardless. No system or ebook can eliminate that fact. Google Ambush does however speed up the learning process and automates many of the processes that would take hours and several tools to complete. Plus it has many advanced features that marketers like myself use on a daily basis that newbies should be using too.

    2. Im not sure what you mean about 'conversion rates'... what 'conversion' are you referring to? Obviously one of the main factors is product selection, as selecting the right product to promote is the KEY factor for determining a profitable return. And yes, Google Ambush certainly helps you with that.

    3. I have already explained some of the differences between Google nemesis and this. I guess go and have a read of the sales page, and you'll see how Google nemesis creates landing pages and tracks conversions, whereas Google Ambush finds products, generates keywords, uploads campaigns, creates landing pages, and tracks conversions. I guess that sums up the differences

    4. I addressed this earlier too... no, this will never become useless or over-crowded. I don't understand why people think this way, as there are over 7000 active products in Clickbank alone, and there are over 150,000 active Clickbank affiliates... and there are billions of Internet users searching online every day. So, there is plenty of room for all.

    Thanks for your questions Wayne! Hopefully my responses helped

    jrsencio:

    We built this as a web application, and not as a software download... which is great news for Mac users, as either Mac or Windows can use Google Ambush. Basically, any one withj an Internet connection and browser can use it... enjoy

    Alferns

    Great question. At the moment you cannot export the landing page, but we are adding that feature as we have had several requests for it.

    Give us a week and it will be in there

    The reason we did not allow exports at the beginning is because its likely to create issues with the conversion tracking... so it may mean you won't have access to that data/step.

    But for many that want the export feature that won't be an issue.

    john3


    I sent you a PM

    Also, for any one else experiencing strange menu or system performance within the Google Ambush application all you need to do is download the latest versions of Firefox or Internet Explorer and that will fix any issues

    Hope that all helped.

    Best wishes,

    Andrew

    PS I heard a rumor that the membership price is going up on Monday... ok, no rumor, that was just me telling you all

      Maybe it's just my browser. I am surprised there were no negative reviews.

      I got it and returned it a couple of hours later. The interface and the functionality looked good and I was hoping to recommend it to my list.

      However, it was only looks. I couldn't get three of the 5 tools to work. I either got error messages or clicking the buttons didn't function properly. I was using firefox. Not sure if that's the problem.

      Additionally, there were a bunch of features that said (coming soon). Made me realize the tool isn't ready for prime time yet.

      Maybe when it is, I'll take a look at it again.

      Well I have found the product great.
      I make basically all of my affiliate earnings via blogs and articles which is great and have never really been interested in PPC. Well actually I have in the past but lost allot of money with it. I don't consider myself a newbie, but my results were very ordinary over the years.
      I believe allot of patience is required to fine tune your campaigns.
      I have purchased a few Adwords products over the years when I feel lazy and the marketing pitch usually draws me in every time.
      I do spend time on them but never really had any great results.
      The main ones I have spent some time on is affiliate elite and affiliate data center.
      Both have great info, but require too much work (manual work)for the results and its risky spending that much time and money if you may never get the results. Especially when you make multiple sales from blogs.....whats the point then.
      Since being with Ambush however, I have had significant gains already. Seeing results on my first day have made me spend almost all of my time fine tuning with their program and am now sitting very comfortably.
      I think you have nothing to lose to try it out. 60 days is a pretty sweet guarantee.
      I think if you apply some simple strategies of your own. Truly spend time on your campaigns. Get in a unique Niche.
      A bit of extra time can mean the difference between make or break. Google Ambush just makes it that much easier.
      I think if you guys are looking for something that works, this is it. But don't just sit on your hands. Your PPC campaign does not run itself.
      I guess it depends where you want to be in a week from now.....

    Hi,

    Ok, there have been several incorrect statements made by people not being attentive enough that I wanted to clear up...

    bbyau

    Affiliate Conspiracy was NEVER a stated bonus, so the fact you get something is a bonus, period. This was a bonus provided to members that I believe has some use to them, and it comes at no cost. But we did not state that Affiliate Conspiracy was a bonus anywhere.

    Amir Darwish

    It surprises me you don't know better. If you had watched the videos you would have seen everything working fine, which would have meant it MAY have been an issue with your computer and at your end. If you had downloaded the latest version of Firefox or Internet Explorer you would have found that everything was and is working perfectly.

    As for some tools not currently available... we had to be VERY careful with server loads as we knew Google Ambush was going to be a big launch, so we removed the most server intensive tools during launch. This was a simple and educated decision. We figured it would be much wiser to have a system working perfectly than have a system that crashed and killed a server, therefore putting thousands of people out during launch week. We stick by our decision 100% and know it was the best decision for every one involved. Wouldn't you agree?

    Merky

    I guess your comment comes from those previous misleading statements.

    All I can say to everyone is to simply get yourself a trial membership and test it out for yourself. Only then will you really be able to make an informed decision as to whether Google Ambush can help you make money online.

    I don't want to sound harsh, as I do appreciate all your comments... its just that we know that Google Ambush is an exceptional product, and we're very passionate about helping our members succeed online.

    We're hoping you will be one of them.

    Oh, and PaulMakesMoney... Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

    Hi Andrew,

    The so called Fast Action Bonus for the "Affiliate Conspiracy" is at best MISLEADING ! It is the first one on the list. Below is what is shown after one clicked on the bonus:

    CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
    "The Affiliate Conspiracy" - $97 Value

    So the $97 value is what people is expecting. But instead people is getting 3 website templates and a simple pdf report which was circulated BEFORE the "The Affiliate Conspiracy" came out !

    I found the other bonuses have better value than this one. You probably should move this one to the last of the Fast Action Bonuses !

      Andrew X,

      I am not sure who should be surprised me or you. Nor who should know better me or you.

      For your info, I do have the latest firefox installed. You know it's kind of difficult not to when it prompts you everytime there is an update and almost forces you to upgrade when you restart. But I guess you know better.

      You should know better than to blame customers for issues in your new software instead of trying to resolve it with them. Every new software has issues. Maybe yours is the exception.

      You should know better to pre-release your software and load test it instead of removing key features and leaving customers feeling they were cheated or they bought something half baked. Sure a 'calculated decision' on your part, but it does me and your customers *no* good. But I suppose you can pat yourself on your back for a good decision made.

      You should know better to try work w/ honest JV partners who want to offer an honest opinion about your product and who can drive 100+ customers to your product than to simply blame them for having the wrong browser or not watching the videos.

      All the best mate.
      Amir

      ps. I can't help but wonder how many of those positive reviews actually tested every 'available' feature in the software, and Paul's review (the guy who's only got one post) is shady at best. I was actually tempted to re-order again and make a video of the problems that I faced so that there are no surprises about who knows or doesn't know better, and there are no slick answers to distract anyone, but I'll just pass...just remember, I ordered b/c I liked what I saw on the outside and I wanted to promote it to my list if it it lived up to the claims. I didn't order to give it a bad review, or out of skepticism.

        Thanks for calling me shady
        Yes I just joined up with warrior forum.....but I don't see why that is a problem. I have been reading this forum for ever as I have been involved in affiliate marketing for some time now.
        Now is the only time I have found it necessary to post.
        Yes, I have had success with Ambush, but I don't think that it is for everyone. I personally have not had any problems with the software, i don't know what the glitch is? Maybe windows version? I don't know.
        Personally, i am using a very basic web browser a friend of mine designed. i like it as it works very quickly and has no issues with crashing, plug-ins etc. It is very basic and he is hoping to release it in the near future.
        I have made a review of the program as to my experience with the first PPC software that has worked for me.
        Im not in any way saying it will work for everyone.
        I have been able to create a full time income through affiliate marketing through hard work and years of research.
        It might be my understanding that has paid off with ambush. i don't know.
        All that I wanted to say is that i have found this program great so far...that is all.
        Take what you want from it.
        If you are having problems with the software, try contact the support and ask for a refund if it is not working properly.
        That's what I would do.
        For the rest of you, I hope it works for you.
        My main break through was after "blogging to the bank". I am not adding an affiliate link or promoting it here.
        Why?
        Because it is not for everyone again.
        Like I say. Affiliate marketing is hard. You have to work for it. If you are not prepared to then don't spend your money.
        If you are having problems with software, it might still be teething problems like stated before, but why not contact support and try get it sorted out? If you have not already.....
        There are some "shady" programs out there.....all I am wanting to say that in "my experience" this is not one of them. That's all. Just wanting to mention positive results. That's all.....
        I take time in referring my list to programs. I like to test them thoroughly before making any recommendations on programs. I will play with this for a month to wait for the results. Want to know how many people I have referred to Ambush so far........0.......
        If your gut instinct says not to join....than i suggest you don't. If you think you should....then why not try it out? Even contact Andrew X on this forum before you do.....
        O, and if you think I am trying to get people to sign up....then I might just remove my affiliate link in my sig....

            I used it for about 6 months. While the support was good in the initial 3 months it slowly started detiorating to the extent that I canceled my subscription. The makers initially did promise a lot of updates but later seemed to lose interest in the product and was only interested in promoting affiliate offers every day. My advice stay away. John

    thank you for your replays (It's great find an author that answers to questions!)
    I'd just like to know if I can use GA here in Italy or It is for US only?
    Thanx

    Hi,

    Ok, another round of responses...

    bbyau

    As you would know, the Affiliate Conspiracy is not my product, and nor do I personally attach a value to it. More importantly, I have no right to place a value on that product, irrespective of what it is. Only the owner of the product has that right, and thats the price they believe its worth and wanted us to state.

    But as you stated there are many bonuses there... in fact, over $400 worth of bonuses (and yes, thats a REAL $400... thats what you'd go to these sites and pay to buy them today).

    Thanks for your feedback though, I do appreciate it

    Amir Darwish

    I think PaulMakesMoney was spot on... in fact, I believe your response was brilliant Paul as you said it all!

    I was NOT blaming customers, I was simply saying that you, as an experienced marketer, should probably know better.

    Like Paul said... did you send an email to support and ask why the browser was different than what was in the videos? Hmm, did you even watch the videos to see everything working perfectly?

    It was the kind of "it's a scam" response you so often get from newbies when they panic because they can't login or download their ebook.

    But, I do appreciate your feedback and would appreciate hearing about the problems you had privately, so that we can improve the Google Ambush experience for our many members.

    And I guess we have different opinions on whats best for customers. I will always believe that its best to have a system running 90% strong than a 'seemingly 100% perfect' system that crashes when thousands of gigs of bandwidth hit the server.

    But again, that's just me, and you're of course entitled to your different view

    PaulMakesMoney

    Again, thank you.Hopefully you do get a sale, and that someone in this forum is kind enough to purchase through your link. I tell you what, anyone that orders through Paul's link and PM's me their receipt I'll give them a VERY special bonus worth a REAL $97.

    And believe me, this bonus is killer and will help you
    So go ahead and place your order from Paul's site, and I'll shoot through a special bonus (just PM me your receipt).

    Mamopez


    Thank you Max, I appreciate your feedback.

    Yes, this does work in Italy, and in every other country that allows you to own a Google Adwords account or a Clickbank account.

    Why not order through Paul's link and get a cool bonus personally from me

    Thanks for your time and your feedback, I do appreciate it.

    Best wishes,

    Andrew X

      a lot of good things to mention...

      Praises: (Good)
      fairly priced
      no website needed
      good organization
      easy to learn, perfect for newbie to intermediaries...

      Wish lists (bad)
      1) only clickbank (for now)
      2) hosting on one unique domain, which might create problems with duplicate promoters for the same categories of products, keywords, and etc.
      3) you dont own your traffic... traffic all pulls towards to one website... offixxxxxxxx.us

      Overall, a job well done
      Well done, Andrew.

    Hi,

    Just quickly...

    Netpro7


    Fair summary, thank you.

    Just a quick note on your wish list:

    "Hosting on one unique domain, which might create problems with duplicate promoters for the same categories of products, keywords, and etc."

    As each landing page has a unique URL and members can promote any products they want (including non CB products) in my expert opinion this really is not an issue, nor will it have any negative impact on our members. I just wanted to give you that reassurance

    "you dont own your traffic... traffic all pulls towards to one website... offixxxxxxxx.us"

    Again, I don't think this is a big deal, as you have complete control over that traffic as you can insert custom HTML on every one of your landing pages, which means you can build your own list and can add your own links to your websites, products and/or affiliate offers.
    I can understand why you raised this though, so thanks for doing so.

    PaulMakesMoney

    Yes, anyone reading this that chooses to order through Paul's link and PMs me will receive a real $97 bonus from my personal product collection (one that I created).

    SarahMcHarry

    I sent you a PM with a solution, please check that.

    Thanks everyone!

      Hi all...

      I know while some of you have been critical, many of you have given Google Ambush VERY positive comments and feedback.

      I realize as a product owner I will come across as biased, so I just wanted to share with you all one of the many testimonials we have received in the last week...

      Member Testimonial

      I want to tell the world from my heart, you guys that created Google Ambush rock. I have spent 11 months spinning out, going around in circles, trying to figure this Internet business out as there is a bit to learn really. Everywhere you turn the big boys tell you its easy & I have struggled at times with overload. I am determined to crack it though, I want to be a Netrupernur Goddess as guess what, I have found this pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The most important thing I want to tell the world is, its an awesome program the way it is set out, 10 out of 10 for this as its not cluttered with stuff you don't need, It is simple to use, NEWBIE friendly & right up my alley, also you can go deeper for the more advanced. The results I have found on my first day, had taken me 11 months to find with major loss of time with my family, because I am so committed to learning. But with this Google Ambush, it confirmed everything I believed in, 1 session. I thank you for answering my prayer's as I have asked & I feel I have recieved. This is a time saver & the clarity you recieve with what your doing is like nothing I have never seen before. I have done a lot of research. This has to be my favorite product so far in 11 mths.
      Regards Doris Smailes

      Thanks Doris!

        I've seen this kind of back and forth on so many of the review threads.
        But the one thing that impresses me is when the product owner himself
        comes to answer EVERY single question from the forum.

        It goes without saying that no matter what you read in a review
        it just may not be the same case for you.

        While it's always nice to see a good reaction from people who have
        purchased it, sometimes ya just gotta take a chance and see
        for yourself!

        So go for it, you've always got the choice of a refund.

    Hey osocash.
    I know what you mean.
    I have struggled with such programs even before adwords became competitive.
    When I started applying more of a business strategy to my affiliate marketing, that's when the results started to come about.
    Just hang in there my friend.
    Remember, just because a program like this is cheap to get into compared to a physical business, does not mean it requires any less work to setup.
    The best thing to do in any new venture is to setup a business plan and plan of attack. If something is not working, look at making adjustments, or try and get help from admin or support.
    People can find it quite easy to get discouraged now days, especially with online marketing programs as they are so hyped up and offer a "get rich quick" approach. Get rich quick only happens after 110% of the work is completed.
    When results aren't achieved straight away, it leaves the customer feeling like they have failed.
    Best thing to do is to take your own view into the amount of time required etc to get a given system off the ground and get it profiting.
    Try to focus on only the 1 program at a time and try work on it daily for atleast 2-4 weeks.
    Adwords is one of the easiest forms of marketing to get discouraged from as it can be tough if your advertising budget is blown on your first day without a sale.
    But the work required to get it to a profitable campaign is not that much further away from setting up a dud campaign.(This is what Ambush has taught me)
    Once you break that hurdle, you can start seeing some real results.
    I promote a few products that I have had great success with and I am still amazed when people ask for a refund within the day they purchased the product.
    Some days i wish i could come to their house and show them just how easy it is.
    Just hang in there mate.
    Keep at it. Stay positive and keep motivated.

    Dear Andrew,

    Got your points per the above. Thanks!

    What about the data integrity? When everybody drives traffic to the one site, you or anybody who have access to your .us site could possibly & literally steal the keywords for your or their own use. If someone hecked your system, that would be another matter...

    Besides, with tools like affiliateelite, adspypro, keywordspy, spyfu and a tons of others, advanced marketers can just use them to scape your entire site and grab all the profitable keywords and landing page...

    How would you address the above concerns?

    Thanks

    Roy

      hhhhmmmm 99% of the people posting good reviews have only a handful of posts???

      whats going on there???

      did the product creator get creative and maybe outsource a few forum posters to go to work for him??

      I have never seen a thread have so many new members comment on it, if it had a decent comment from an established member then that would help. the most trusted name i see is amir darwish and he left a bad review, and if i got the name right amir created an awesome product named xtreme conversions which has some huge IM superstars backing it up, so i'll trust his judgement.

      Seems a bit of a "here today gone tommorrow" type product

        I'm a user of Ambush and I have more than a few posts. I've been
        on this forum for quite a while and I'm being dead honest when
        I say that this software is nothing less than amazing.

        There's no other software out there like it. It has cut my campaign
        times down tremendously, and I have seen sales already - actually
        within the first day I used it.

          I purchased GA the day it came out. The only thing that has bugged me a little is that I've been paying for a product that wasn't fully functional from day 1 - although I do understand the server overload explanation.

          Overall, I am definitely impressed with the tools, especially as someone who is fairly new at PPC. I'm gearing up to launch a CB product campaign now that I've researched through Google Ambush's research tool. The info that tool yields is outstanding.

          The one tool I've been waiting to become active, though, is the keyword spy tool, to find out what ads have been profitable to other advertisers. I understand, though, that this tool needs to be used for a couple of weeks in order to receive valid information, so that's a while longer I have to wait to launch my campaign, if I want that info. (Please Andrew - make the Spy Tool Active!)

    well, be careful not to conclude a system based on how much you have spent/ lost, it's not fair to conclude the system is good or not, by trying it out for a week, and have no sales.

    Having sales is only the end result. The system is designed not to create sales, but a system for you to do your market research, build your landing page and track the results. Hence, it's not fair to sum up the product in that matter.

    However, whether the product is properly designed or not, is the question. The others comes next...

    When it comes to PPC, do a lot of research first before pulling the trigger... otherwise losing money is only destiny.

    Hi all,

    Super quick update for you...

    Netpro7

    Your data is safe, so you don't need to worry at all. Also, there are thousands of pages on this domain, and it really isn't an issue at all. But I understand the need to ask that question, so thank you.

    As for this quote:

    "well, be careful not to conclude a system based on how much you have spent/ lost, it's not fair to conclude the system is good or not, by trying it out for a week, and have no sales.

    Having sales is only the end result. The system is designed not to create sales, but a system for you to do your market research, build your landing page and track the results. Hence, it's not fair to sum up the product in that matter."

    SPOT ON, you are 100% correct!

    Lucky Singh... its not Google Ambush that lost you the money, it would be your lack of understanding when it comes to using Google Adwords.

    I would bet anything that the reason you had no sales was because your keywords were not relevant and targeted enough for the products you were marketing. This is the #1 newbie error, which is why Im very confident in making such a statement. Feel free to email me your keyword list if you want an expert opinion.

    HonestAndy

    Yes, you were being Honest Andy... but I also don't appreciate your claims, as they are total rubbish and unfounded. The ONLY Warrior account that has anything to do with Google Ambush is this one.

    I think the issue is that 99% of new products get bagged on Warrior Forum, and the fact Google Ambush has actually received more favorable comments than negative ones is probably surprising you, as its not what you usually find here.

    I already made a public response to Amir's comment, and I stand by that 100%.

    Anyway, just wanted to answer everyone...

    Thanks!

    I bought the product. I tested on one affiliate program.

    So far I am making $33 or $66 a day. But I have yet to finetune my Adwords ads,choice of long tail keywords and optimize my landing pages since I spend a fixed budget $40 a day for the ads. It will take me few more days doing finetuning before I bring down my daily ad spend and still earn the same amount.

    This product is great especially for newbies (but also for pros):
    1. different ways to view clickbank products based on 1, 7 or 30-day gravity trends
    2. keyword research is also there
    3. integration with Adwords where you can upload or download campaigns
    4. and I impressed with the landing page generator. very nice!
    5. you don't even need your own domain to host the landing page

    What I want to see are:
    1. 'canned' product reviews for me to copy and modify to save on time
    2. more advanced editing techniques to finetune the landing pages

    I opted not to use their hosted landing page as I have my own techniques to increase CTR and I need FULL editing control of my landing pages.

    Making reviews only took me a few hours as I just copy somebody else's reviews and re-wrote them.

    In 3 hours I made my first sale.

    I didn't see any bugs or major problems. However, since I am doing a lot of affiliate marketing, I need more control on what I do and I am willing to forego 'integration'. But that is just me. I guess I have to use my own blend of affiliate marketing.

    But I make $33 or $66 a day. And that says a lot for this product.

    Make your own product (list, websites) still applies with all businesses.

    The problem with making your own product is people don't know where to start, or how much it will cost eventually. They get scared off.

    Step 1: Online business model (giveaway something that people want, in exchange for their email addresses)
    Step 2: Make a website that executes the business model (get a script that works on the server chosen)
    Step 3: Promote the hell out of it ( promote massively anywhere you think is good)
    Step 4: Do not rush this step, quality is important (when you have enough funding to make great websites then send your list members to your websites). The more professional your websites look the more of a genius you look = more sales.

      I've been meaning to get this tool because...

      *I'm sick of convincing merchants to put my tracking code on their download pages to track at the keyword level. I would pay $77 per month just for this part of the tool if it works well

      *I make a whole lot more landing pages per campaign compared to most people (trust me)

      *I think this is going to speed up the process

      This has been a great thread. Thanks for all the insights.

      I just hope the tool allows me to easily add opt-in forms on landing pages as well.

      ...Seriously, thanks for these great reviews. I didn't want to be one of those guys who shows up in Andrew X's e-mail box as another annoying refund.

      I'm going to get this tool and I'm pretty sure I won't be a d-head customer asking for refund behind the merchant's back.

    Hmmm.... I'm messing with the software now.

    This is my only concern.

    As for the landing pages, won't you get nailed for direct linking?

    ...If you're bidding on the same keyword another Google Ambush user is bidding on, won't one user be canceling out the other because it's all under the same URL?

    "Google Ambush" - At least the names get better, shame about the products. Before you get sucked in by the sales pitch and sign up and waste commit $67 a month to Google Ambush have a think about this. The sales pitch is full of Clickbank statements with lots of sales as proof their system works.
    The problem is Google Ambush is based on PPC so how much did they spend on Google Adwords to make those sales?
    Showing you a months statement from Clickbank with $40k in sales means absolute shite if they had to spend 39k on Google Adwords!
    Some of the best PPC guys in the world are saying the competition is so fierce nowadays that they consider a campaign a success if they get a return of $1.50 for every dollar spent. Just 18 months ago a 6 to 1 return was considered only half decent, now it's a long distant dream.
    Here's the main reason though why you should not buy Google Ambush, and this is important so listen up.
    If you stumbled on a method of ambushing Google and making at least $40K a month from Adwords would you keep your mouth shut, your head down and grab as much as you could before the bubble burst or would you sell how you do it to a bunch of strangers for just $67 a month?
    Thought so. All these guys play on our greed and hope we get sucked into their sales pitch and buy the dream. It was only in July that the guys releasing Google Ambush released G Massacre and they also made extravegant claims about that product: supposedly it would make you $1700 a day.
    If you bought that, you shouldn't even be here reading this, you should have already made your mind up they aren't getting any more of your cash!
    Take a look at all the testimonials on the Google Ambush sales page (click here but be prepared for the hard sell, its harder to close than a porn site!) and you will see it's the same names every time. Rob Benwell is there recommending it and I've also had an email from him pimping it. That's despite the fact that last week we all bought Rob's "Blogging to the Bank 3″ and if that works so well Rob, why on Earth would we need to buy into yet another system?
    It's not just Rob Benwell pimping Google Ambush to his mail list either, all the usual suspects are involved, just as they were last week for Rob's product launch and the week before that for Lateef's and as they will be next week for *insert favorite guru name here* latest product launch.
    There is of course money being made with PPC otherwise no one would be doing it but the competition is fierce and getting involved now as a late starter would not be recommended by me. Put it this way, this time last year I was making over 4 figures a day using PPC and yet today I don't touch it.
    If you cannot resist the sales pitch and the dream Google Ambush is selling, be aware you will need a decent stake to get you started and make sure you can afford to lose it. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars being blown on Adwords every day.



    this article was from plr-articles.net since i cannot post any links

    i my self would not bother with such system, with all things that is business related, comes hard work and better understanding of how things really work, junk like google ambush is only for suckers.

      Mmmm.... 2 months on, and no resounding posts about how much money people have made. The closest was the one who said they were spending $40/day on Adwords, and making either $33 or $66 each day. So, probably just about breaking even. At best.

      I'd really like to believe stuff like this, but I when you get a clear lack of success stories (and from punters with more than 100-200 posts) on a forum like this, you do have to wonder...

      I don't doubt Andrew's integrity on his product, and I'm sure he's created some useful tools here, but where are the real testimonials...

      Or, maybe it's sooooo awesome that you guys just want to keep quiet about it.

      Yes, that must be it...

    I also have some interest in Ambush, but what worries me is everyone out there seems to be "cracking the code". How can this be?

      I have a budget question. Can you really derive enough information from a 5 dollar a day budget?

    I just want to say one thing. I'm a newbie ant internet marketing and one thing I noticed is that many people are really frugal when it comes to adwords. If your going to get into the PPC arena then your going to have to come off at least $200 JUST FOR TESTING. $5-10 a day just aint going to cut it. Im not trying to bash anyone but when have you ever heard of a dope dealer getting rich off just an 1/8

    Oh and another thing. Try buying vouchers on ebay for you newbies wanting to test adwords for the first time. It really helps your out of pocket cost.

      I remember when this product first came out I was tempted to buy it but I was already working on too many things so I skipped it.

      However, more recently I got an email from Andrew offering it again and I thought, hey, it wouldn't kill me to have a look.

      I signed up for the $4.95 7 day trail to have a look.

      Product Finder

      Only searches Clickbank but does have some good features, like filtering on the Gravity increases over a certain period. I'd give this 4/5

      Keyword Research

      It's quite quick and easy to use within Ambush, fairly basic but useful. I like the option to sort the results on Google Average CPC, which is a nice quick way of spotting cheap keywords related to the product. 4/5

      Campaign Loader

      This integrates with your Adwords account and allows you to manage your campaigns, upload keywords, etc... from within Ambush. I'm not currently using this, I'd rather just manage directly within Adwords but I guess it could be useful for a newbie. 3/5

      Landing Page Generator

      On the one hand this is great, really easy to use, 4 different templates to use, you can include your own HTML. It's pretty damn quick to knock up a half decent landing page that you'll feel pretty proud of. You can quickly add multiple products to the page and it really does save a lot of time. You publish the pages straight onto the shared domain that Ambush provides, in a suitable category so it appears as (domainname)/pets/reviews/how_to_train_your_dog if "how to train your dog" was the keyword you were going after in your landing page.

      You can then copy that landing page to one called "dog training" and edit it, therefore quickly creating multiple landing pages which you can then create a separate ad for each one in Adwords, therefore boosting your quality score, hopefully lowering your CPC, etc.

      On the other hand, and this so far is the biggest downside in my experience with it so far is that Google *hates* my landing page. Basically its giving it a Quality Score of 1/10 and therefore minimum bids are set to $10 and the whole thing is looking like a waste of time.

      I've a feeling I know why, as well. The default templates don't have any links to standard pages that Google looks for when decided a Quality Score, for example a "contact us". I've added some links to authority sites manually, in the niche I'm testing it with (it's not dog walking, that was just and example) but Google is still only offering me $10 clicks.

      I'm even wondering if Google has effectively black listed the domain that you are forced to host your reviews on? You know, with all the Google Ambush users creating landing pages on one domain and then sending traffic to them from multiple adwords accounts, maybe they blacklisted it. Hey, I don't know for sure but its a pretty crappy score for what should a fairly decent landing page. I might even copy the page onto one of my own sites and try point an ad at it to see if it improves the quality score.

      So, marks for this section? 4/5 for ease of use, 0/5 if I can't sort out my quality score on Google.

      Tracker

      Simple and easy to use, tracks the hits, conversions, keywords, hits per country, etc. Nice enough and good to have all in one place. 4/5

      Ambush Videos

      Standard option gives you 6 training videos, approx 2 hours in total, that cover each of the above areas in enough detail for anyone. No option to download for offline viewing which really should be "the standard" these days. Hey, I can understand why producers of content that is really valuable would want to retain the ability to only host it, but these are training videos related to a product, not the product. So the ability to download and sync with an iPhone should be standard, I hate sitting at my PC watching these videos but if I have them on my iPhone I can watch them whenever, e.g. a boring car or train journey.

      3/5 for easy to follow, well produced video, would have scored higher if available offline.

      Summary

      For once a product almost lives up to its sales page and its great to have all the features in one easy to use interface. The only issue, and for me right now is a showstopper, is the poor quality score that google is giving my landing page. I've got a 3 days left of the trial, if I can improve it then I might continue however as it stands, I won't be.

      Anyone else using Google Ambush and not having Quality Score issues please let me know.

    The service at GoogleAmbush is really outrageous!

    I signed up for the 5$ trial. Tried the services they provide for one week.
    On the 6th day I emailed them to not charge any further fees from me, because I didn't want to stay as a member. I really wanted to come back as a member a few weeks later, because I'm too busy right now to go on with the services they provide. But I didn't get any answer.
    The next day an email came in... Paypal notified me about the payment of the monthly fee of GoogleAmbush.... mhh... strange..didn't want to stay!

    The same day I wrote them again....the following day again..another day later again... and STILL NO REPLY!
    I've sent more than 5 emails so far... and no single answer until now!

    Either they're on vacation with the whole team or their service is simply outrageous!

    Is there anyone who made similar experiences?!

    Looks like there are no good, recent reviews and PPC Bully 2.0 is now closed. I found a million dollar website without much competition that uses PPC for all its traffic. Does anyone know another software program that helps sniping on competitor's Adwords campaigns?

    Thanks,
