AffiliateReporting.com - Awesome
Fellow Warriors:
I'm a member of a new service directed to PPC affiliates called http://affiliatereporting.com
What this service does is it automatically pulls in your PPC keyword and cost data from Adwords, Yahoo, and MSN, correlates it with resulting commissions earned in CJ, Linkshare, ClickBank, etc., and then tells daily you which keywords made money and which lost money.
It can tell you a lot more and there are a number of reports and warnings you can create for your PPC campaigns, but the 'biggie' is the automated profit / loss analysis.
There are several programs on the market that have a similar profit / loss keyword feature - but only if you manually get your data from Adwords, Yahoo and MSN and manually get your data from the merchants. And then, you have to make sure the data is for the same dates. And you manually have to do this day after day, or in whatever period of time you want to check your stats.
If you're like me, its all very exciting at first, but then all the manual work starts to fall by the wayside.
This is the first automated service I have seen created by affiliates (they earned $20 million before PPC costs the past few years) for other affiliates.
So far, the service has been excellent as they work on extending their custom in-house software to something other affiliate marketers, such as myself, and you, can use.
The only downside is the monthly cost. For some it will be prohibitive. 2 percent of commissions with a $500 monthly minimum.
On the other hand, this is a real tool that you will hopefully see can tangibly put more money in your hands. Considering what some "gurus" are charging for "information" courses, this a real bargain.
Today just happens to the launch day of Google Shadow (in about 2 hours while I'm writing this). I've seen the YouTube videos and it appears to essentially be just a way to quickly create PPC campaigns. Great. You spend all day creating 500 campaigns. You have a lot of ppc costs and keywords. You have some commissions coming in. How do you know which keywords are profitable and which are losers? Hello, you have to manually look at your ClickBank stats and make notes of which TID references generated sales. Then you have to go into Adwords and find those references in your endless campaigns and evaluate each individually one by one to determine profitability. Yikes. That's a recipe for bankruptcy, not being a millionaire. This isn't a day job killer. It's a paycheck killer which is only replaced by you spending your day manually comparing ClickBank data to Adwords data. Soon enough, you'll be shelling out money for the 'next' killer program. I know it. You know it.
Currently, it takes me many hours to do the manual tasks required to do what AffiliateReporting does automatically every day.
Do I like spending $500+ a month? No.
Do I like earning tens of thousands of dollars every month and want to easily know what campaigns, merchants, and keywords are making the money and which are losing the money? Yes.
Would I spend 2% of an earned commission to track this data? You bet. And if I want, I can remove data out of the system if I no longer wanted to track something (or save a few bucks if tracking is no longer necessary - although personally, I want to track as much as possible.)
Anthony Bajoras is the prime contact for the software. There is a 30-day free demo, so you don't pay anything unless you want to keep the service, and let Anthony know you saw this product review.
