Hey Pat and others, our desk has been having all sorts of problems today. Way too much traffic hitting the desk causing our SQL server to crash. We upgraded our memory and have been replying to tickets all day, via the slow responding desk. The only suggestion I can give is to please be patient and submit your ticket a bit later. It will take atleast 7 days, like longer than that, to get through all of the bonus tickets, as there are now over 3500 tickets directly related to bonuses. We have 3 help desk staff. It takes about 5 minutes to set up 1 customer's bonuses. We're repsonding to them in the order they were received. If you submitted a ticket, rest assured that it will be answered as soon as it's the next ticket in line. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Brad,

My Fault , I recommended your bonus here, and man it's damn good and naturally attracted attention,

And for your support desk, I've a great experience with them, they are great people and I know they will handle it properly,

Hey Brad,

I was suspecting something along the lines of the above was happening.

Can you please clarify what it is we are supposed to be submitting to your support desk? The only thing resembling a receipt I recieved doesn't really verify that it was bought through your link.

It would be easier if I could update my current ticket with the correct information to prevent having to go back and forth with your support desk.

Thanks for your help.

That's exactly the first thing I noticed when I signed up with them back in 10/2008 for the first release. I can deal with an upsell here and there, marketers market I guess, but it almost seemed like desperation. I had an uncertain feeling going into it. There must have been half a dozen products they were pushing before I had even gotten onto the site.

There were a few decent bonuses for members, and I did learn some things about PPC I didn't know before. However, after a couple of months I didn't feel like there was really much left to pay for, and it was only $30/month. They've probably got a lot more things going on now though.

I'm really not trying to talk it down, if someone hasn't done much with PPC it may totally be worth the $97/month or whatever the 'free' membership turns out to be. I had read a lot about PPC, even though I was still in the red overall, and I did learn there.

To be fair though, when it was time for me to go, I didn't know there was an option for terminating the service in my account settings, and by the time I canceled, my card had been billed again. It was right around the holidays and I couldn't get any reply from their support, but after a week or so I did get the charge reversed, so I don't think you'll have to worry about them taking advantage of having your card information.

elishahong

Most big time internet marketers have to do that kind of upsell offers just because they contributed their list to the product. It's fair for them and furthermore, those offers are great offers that doesn't come cheap at a regular price. I look forward to such bonus offers or deep discounts sometimes because it's worth it.

Though the clicking can be a hassle but not too much

PPC Classroom is awesome and I've watched a similar interview with Anik and Mehta a few months back but this time they beefed it up with some cool graphics and more content.

Very good advice. I follow Perry Marshall's guide and I still learned a lot from Amit. It's worth learning their blueprint. Very thorough and straight to the point.

Daniel Beazley

Thanks for that information, I ordered via your link too

You seem like a respected genuine guy. How would I get on your list that you offer these kinds of things to?

Dan

Brad Callen

Hey guys, to answer your questions:

1. Most are sending a receipt or order number through to us when they submit a ticket, so my guess is there is one that you would get via email? I'm not sure. Some, however, have just been copying and pasting the "thank you email" along with the last 4 digits of their credit card number to us, and we've cross referenced it.

2. Thanks Dan :-) I guess the easiest way would just be to visit one of our sites and signup for the mini-course that appears in the popover when you visit the page.

Thanks everybody.

Brad

DEERFARMER

I also signed up with brad callens bonus yesterday. But I did not recieve them yet. Did anyone else get there bonuses from Brad?

Linda B

They've got to be kidding! Why would anyone pay $97 per month for what is already there??? I've already gone through the 9 modules, some of it basic stuff. Why would anyone pay to just see those 9 modules plus the occassional webinar every month? Especially since somewhere I read said that you'd always be able to access the basic info.

What is strange is that the modules kept referring to future advanced information modules beyond the 9. So I'm pretty shocked at what the support staff told you, unless they are new and don't know what they are talking about. The sales letter said this:

"A 30 Day “Free Look” at the PPC Inner Circle – The advanced 7 figure super affiliate secrets I won’t see anywhere else. After 30 days, it’s only $97 per month and I can cancel anytime from my PPC Classroom student page. "

There aren't any "advanced 7 figure super affiliate secrets you won't see anywhere else" in the 9 basic modules. So this is either false advertising, or the support person just didn't know what they were talking about. It would be nice if one of them came over here and clarified this. I'm sure they don't want massive cancellations next month.

anteck

Ordered OK, Sent off the info to Brad Callen, but so far have heard NOTHING from his team... Anyone else?

EDIT: Ahh i see the replies now above, Ok, i'll await your support team replies.

SandraCee

UPDATE: PPC Classroom 2.0 is NOT free, this is a free 30 trial. And just to clarify PPC Classroom = Inner Circle. Please see responses from support below.

They really should have just said it was free trial from the beginning.

__________________________________________________ _____

When I signed up I had selected the trial of Inner Circle. How do I access that? I don't see it listed in my order history page so I hope that it went through ok. Thanks.

Sandra,

The Inner Circle is actually just the name of the new basic PPC Classroom 2.0 membership, which includes coaching calls. There isn't a special section to access. Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks,

According to the "big news" video, PPC Inner Circle includes: mastermind groups, forum, 1 adv module/mo, Q&A mastermind call & adv webinar. It costs $97/mo and I thought we were getting a free look inside. Please clarify. Thank you.

Feb 26, 2009

Sandra,

To get access to those things go to Home : PPC Classroom 2.0 | Discover the Secrets of a $2.4 Million PPC Affiliate and login using your email address xxxxx @ gmail.com, and whichever password you chose when you signed up.

The webinars and mastermind groups should start in about a week. You will gain access to the forum 30 days after the date you initially joined. Initially you get access to 9 Modules, and each month that you remain a member of PPC Classroom 2.0 after that, you will receive a new Module of information. in addition to the PPC Classroom 2.0 Inner Circle you singed up to be a member of Niche Detective Club. The first month of both of these is free. The monthly fee for the Inner Circle after the first month is $97, and the monthly fee for Niche Detective Club is $19.97. I hope this helps clarify!

Thanks,
PPC Classroom 2.0 Support

Nathan Hangen

If that's the case, then I'll just send the DVD back, request a refund, and never even attempt this stuff. I thought we got PPC 2.0 for free and the trial was for something else.

EDIT:

Ok, I did some checking around, and it looks like you get the first 9 modules, all the bonuses, and the DVD for life. If you stay in for 97, you get more modules and the rest of the stuff. Looks like I overreacted a bit. I think the support people confused you.

Roger Fong

After 30 days, if you cancel the Inner Circle, do you still get access to the 9 modules but NOT the software? PPC Classroom 2.0's 9 modules minus the software tools worth it? What I'm trying to say is can you produce good results($$$?) with only the 9 modules and NO software? Are the software tools neccessary for PPC to function at 100% of its potential?

Blitzian

for those of you confused about the ppc classroom membership structure, here is how it works

PPC Classroom 2.0 = 9 Core Modules + Landing Page Templates + DVD Interview with Amit (you get this for price of shipping & handling $7 in US, $10 International) - originally when ppc classroom 2.0 was released in oct 08 people paid $77 to receive this without the DVD Interview

PPC Inner Circle = Basic Monthly membership includes one advanced module per month + webinar + bonuses + tools + forum access. (this is $97 a month)

VIP Membership includes all of Inner circle plus VIP Mastermind and Q&A Sessions + VIP bonuses + VIP Forum + one on one support ticketing system ($397 a month)

if you are just starting out or have intermediate skills in PPC the 9 core modules will teach you every aspect of ppc affiliate marketing.

if you pick up the ppc inner circle, the advanced modules are well worth it. You get to look at how Amit approaches his campaigns and how he scales it up.

if you need one on one support and additional advanced strategies then go for the vip membership.

Daniel Beazley

Ahhh, that makes much more sense, thanks for clearing this all up. Shouldn't we get an extra module seeing that we have a 30 day trial, or are they cutting us short there ?

Dexx

So does that mean I need to send an email to support to cancel the $97 /mo fee AND I need to cancel this Niche Detective Club thing too?

Daniel Beazley

I think they said there was a cancellation link on the PPC Classroom page. I guess you would have to do it for both of them aswell.

jkmg

well as a beginner, I can tell you I have learned quite a bit already. What I haven't seen is where somebody actually helps you. I have followed the videos, etc and setup campaigns, but am just a little confused as to what comes next.

PPC-Coach

That's why they want you to pay $97 for their inner circle.

benjihull

Seems like alot of headaches... I've been sitting on this until I hear a detailed product review?

jkmg

Not really. There is a lot of really good information that you can apply right away. If you have any experience at all it seems like you will run with it immediately.

DonDavis

With the generous bonuses Brad is offering, I can't help but think SEO Elite 2 and Keyword Elite 2 are just around the corner.

Gallery Sites

They are still having credit card order problems, it didn't work for me either.

Aaron Elliott

If you join you get

..."Get Started" DVD is Free...
...PPC Classroom is Free...
...The LIVE Event ticket is free...
...The $2M templates are free...

Out of all of this, you really are paying....

DVD cost $10
PPC classroom $97 / Month
Free Ticket $$ Airfare to Live Event
$2M templates for free - What the.. Is this $2 Million Dollars worth of templates? How can you put a figure like that on 'Templates'
I watched a 'free' webinar on their website which claimed that they would give away amazing secretes, but all they did was show pictures of holiday destinations and how great it is being rich.

In other words more ammo to get you to sign up and make them 'rich' .

Im sure there will be good info on that site, but I cant see how its worth $97 per month and they have way to many mis-leading claims and false advertising a Free PPC Classroom.

baronig

I got turned off from their sales letter,confusing not straight forward.

chriscobb

For anyone that signed up the first day, the bonuses that they are now giving are accessible on your home page by clicking the Partners Bonuses link on the left nav panel. Most of these require an opt-in and a couple are free trials only.

Karen Newton

Right Chris, but you failed to mention the 11 bonuses that PPC has that does NOT require opt in (straight download). I'm surprised (I shouldn't be) at how much complaining is going on here lol...

You pay $6/$10 for a DVD - you get access to their training modules, a *bunch* of recorded webinars, 11 bonuses straight download, partner bonuses not all of which you have to opt in, half a dozen or more tools.. I am in no way affiliated with PPC Classroom - just stating the facts. I know because I purchased and I'm staring at it!

The only thing I'm perturbed about is the fact that the forum isn't accessible for 30 days (upon which the trial is up), but hey it's not enough of a deterrent for me to not even evaluate this for a mere $10.

PPC Classroom Review

Hi Everyone,

I think this forum is awesome and am enjoying everything I read so far. I am relatively new to PPC marketing, but I do have some buyer experiences to share.

I purchased PPC Classroom and completed the 9 course module and quizes. I found it to be a tremendous asset. It's already saved me thousands because I would have potentially lost of my Adwords account on Google. Even when you complete the modules, you will have to revisit them often when you set up your campaigns. It will take a newbie like me time to master. I am not concerned with Free bonuses nor tools as much as practical knowledge that I can apply.

No one wants a lousy mechanic who has great tools working on their car.
Learn to be the best mechanic...

1) I say that I purchased PPC Classroom, because I bought allot of the videos in advanced. After seeing the additional bonuses they added for free...Yes I am wondering if I should have waited, because some appear to be duplicates of what I bought. But...I have to look at them to really know. However, I do see the value that the free side of the course offered. Why...

Because I bought "PPC Domination" and I feel I got...Well I don't want to say. But PPC Classrooms Free tutorials teaches you a ton more than PPC Dominations complete course! Lesson learned and I wouldn't recommend anyone going that route.

2) PPC Classroom already saved me thousands because I would have gotten my account closed by Google if I did not take advantage of the first call audio in the "Webinar and Downloads" area. Why...

Again after following the video I started with The Niche Detective club and wanted to do my own keyword research along with my own click bank product that I wanted.

So I was doing keyword searches for WII Downloads and Movies Download products that I found on Click Bank because they had extremely high Gravity with close to 90% of sales coming from affiliates. Those were my first two choicees...Then I learned from Amit that Google shuts down any account that promotes pier to pier downloads and he pointed out my first two choices! AAARGH..I would have been Jacked by Google.

I am sure that most of you know how hard it is to get support from google on line when you make a error. It's not fun and they just give you links to hundreds of others who have the same problem, with no solution or feed back. So right there PPC Classroom has saved me thousands.

3) I almost forgot...I am also a member of another MLM company that charges $297 for a mutilple PPC ad posting software. I bought that too. Only to find out through
PPC Classroom that I could have done the same thing using their format with a macro attachment to Excel...FREE

Conclusion...I just found out as a newbie who thought he new a bit about PPC, that I actually no nothing and have spent near a thousand for tools and knowledge that PPC Classroom is giving me for free...And if they are offering ME that much value for free, I believe that they must be offering tons more value for the $97 a month. But, like I said, I'm just a newbie. So for me and thousands of othe newbies, so far I would give PPC Classroom 5 stars after what I have learned in just a few days.

Of course, I am not going in this with the mindset to just quit before the 30 days. I will give it a chance and post honest feedback. It's my opinion that many who go into something with the mentality to quit will not have any success anyway, so why even join or take the free trial. Just a newbie opinion. Hope some of you found value with my experience

CREDIT CARD ISSUES

ps...I did experience credit card issues as my debit card was declined 3 times. My issue was that I was using the "Firefox" Browser. When I used "Internet Explorer", my debit card was accepted with no problem. Hope that helps. (*_*)

Hello Everyone

Maybe it's just me but everything online is geared to make money. The tricks is to get you in and keep you wanting more. If one searches through all the material one would find that all it is a catch to get money from you. The thrill of making money is big business. People just don't see it till it is too late then they say Darn it by then the person or operation has bank the cash and moved on to the next project for sucking cash out of there list of suckers. Again any formula that worked today may not work tommorrow so I'll just sell the formula today and cash in on the fact that everyone else are just now finding out about this formula. They actually have seminars were people who pay large fees to sign disclosure forms to not public tell anybody about the next great formula to cash in on.

Bottom line the intergrity of the system has to be exploited and I know the best method and no I am not selling a secert to anybody or trying to get people in to upsell. I just network with intention of helping so there is no link or blog to got to.


My point if everyone looks at the system we use we can beat the junk out of it.

"The Ghost in the machine"

A Bary

You're kidding, right?


All the formulas are not working, but your ghost is?

Poor gal,,,

Just a note, you're here on the Warriors forum, not fools forum, nobody here haven't heard or passed through GDI, I myself heard about it may be 3 years ago, if you're new to it and starting to promote it, I advice you to drop your "old ghost" and move on, this system worked only to some level for people at the top who were entered to the system at the very beginning, but after that it turned to be just a failed MLM scheme, even the ws domains turned to be a big failure, it never gained the reputation or the weight of a top domain, buying a ws domain is just a waste of time,

Surf this forum well and you'll find much better ways to make money than trying to promote something that old on forums,

Ahmed

Kerwan

No I'm not kidding and as Far As GDI I have been using it in varouis ways and making some money from it also it just so happens I am in the middle of another run and I had switched it over to the company page until my next program is finish and ready to go public.As far as the Warriors if you will notice when I joined you will see That I have been around for quite some time not just last month. Watching over the years I have seen things come and go and this forum has been a tremendous help to my online career that I know what works and what don't. What I have done is made enough money from all the wisdom of the info From the Warriors that I no longer need to hock my wares in such a fashion that traps people into a bill. People really make money with me and are givin the choice to pay me if they want no "30 day" stuff and trust me they pay me. It is true when you help someone get what they want they will also help you. So if you have to get people by trapping then they will feel trapped if you show them and it works no stings attached they feel indebted to you and will gladly pay you what they feel. For instance a Young women made a large amount of money from what we worked on together and decided to share her good fortune with me. I refuse a large sum that she offered because I have my own and just excepted her gesture as her way of saying thank you. So I know What I am doing Period.

JohanFourie

All I can say is that I joined and I am happy with the course.

It is very detailed and a lot of information is presented in a very orderly fashion. I have previously joined another system, but you spent more time trying to find info than actually learning!

So go on and join!

Daniel Beazley

I agree, so far the information has been very detailed and professional. Lots of good information and bonuses too.

P.S. - Have any of you guys received your 'Brad Callen' bonuses yet? J/W.

Aaron Elliott

Despite the false/confusing sales letter, I have joined and so far it seems very, very good. Im up to module 4 of 9. The information within the modules is quite clear, and he explains why he does things a certain way and not just how. There is no doubt my PPC is going to improve from this course - even if I stop at module 9.

dzoaffiliate

I am on Module #4. Amit's instructions and mind set training is outstanding. In a few days the classroom's going to start. I also opted in on the niche detective. So far not used it since going through the modules. The Q&A was superb.

DZ

bidmarket

I agree. so far, so good. does a very good job of explaining things in simplistic terms.

what exactly does niche detective do?

rom173

Hi BidMarket,

Niche Detective consists of 3 markets a month, that Amit believes to be very hot. He goes in detail on how he did his research to come up with his reasons as to why he chose a particular niche...And how he did his research. Still I believe that many of the keywords on the list he provides are very competitive and high CPC.

As Amit says, your max bid should only be 1% of your product payout. Allot of his keywords are pretty expensive bids

I use his Niche Detective to see if I come up with similar keywords doing my own research along side Amits.

When you finish with Module 9...Be sure to watch Adrienne Devitas method of keyword research under the "recent webinars tab". That lady is Awesome on how to use FREE tools the right way. She will teach you ways to get 1000's of competitive keywords that have a low cpc for people on a budget!

This Training is Sweet!!!

bidmarket

thank you for the quick reply. Obviously coming up with a niche will be the hardest part. Have you found any others to be decent? Have you looked at nichebot? or niche rocket?
bid

dzoaffiliate

Hey rom173, thanks for that video, I'm going to watch it tonight - can't wait until i finish module #9. PPC Classroom rocks. I'll keep you all posted WHEN (not if :-)) I make some money.

DZ

rom173

Working on a niche right now! Just learned how to do "Framing" techniques to check if the market is hot. It's a Freakin Cool technique!!!...

I am currently using Devitas method for chosing niches on Clickbank that have between a gravity of 30~100 as the one's that Amit suggests have extremely high gravity and may be saturated. I am going to test the market first, before I do tons of work on creating a landing page. That would be allot of work, if the market was bad.

It's exciting yet SCARY! LOL. I'm still a newbie, but they sure are teaching me a ton. Going in with the mentality of whatever I spend in this first month, is soley for learning.

rom173

Your welcome DZ!!
Can't wait to make it to prosperity too!!! After learning about Affiliate marketing, who the heck wants to waste so much time in MLM programs and broken downlines. Direct sales rules...Now I understand why Amit and his friends are nearly completely recession proof. I want that lifestyle and more.

This Stuff is Awesome!!

A Bary

I received email today from Brad's support desk with the bonuses I requested (SEO Elite and Search Marketing Lab)

Awesome

Pat Jackson

Ah, fantastic! I was beginning to get worried that mine weren't coming. They must be close!

mloveridge17

I've taken the time to read all the comments and didn't see a need to post anything else as most of my thoughts have been posted by others, with one exception:

I wanted to get a jump on the Inner Circle cancellation and got messages back from Anik's support group that it all can be managed online. They even provided a link. Here is the message I received,


Unfortunately, when I click on the link, it says "Manage Subscription Options will be available soon!!"


Does this seem as shady to all of you as it does to me?

shermanchoo

the cost/conv part and advanced bidding is worth looking at.

Brad Callen

Hi Dan, I answered 750 support tickets to give out bonuses today. I literally spent 8 straight hours doing it. It takes A LONG time. 3-5 minutes per customer. There are over 4500 users that need bonuses, so it might take around 7-14 days to get through them all. I have 3 other people working on this with me. Bonuses will be given if you submitted a support ticket. We're all working as fast as we can. Thank you for your patience.

Brad

SandraCee

I'm still not 100% convinced that you can still access PPC Classroom after the 30 days if you cancel Inner Circle.

I submitted a support ticket to find out on 2.26 and they have not responded yet. All my other requests were answered by the next day, but who knows.

Anyway, I plan on staying for at least another month to check out the forum. Plus with all the bonuses I think its worth $97, at least for one month.

Question for all of you....have you seen this WSO? Please let me know your thoughts?

Aaron Elliott

In Module 4, he says only use ONE unique keyword per adgroup.

What does this mean - bit confused as module 3 said use 1,000 keywords - what is a unique keyword?
