I'd like to ask for input on any desktop software that pulls advertiser data for the major search engines. Anyone using anything that works smoothly to build up an historical record. Please reply with your experience

For those who need it...

The basic idea is to get a historical record of search engine advertisers. Thne ability for gathering in all their ads and their keywords for analysis. Google makes it all freely available for download(until they ban the IP address) but this data only takes on meaning with a longer history getting every days results and then displaying those results.

At least 2 weeks and better a full 30 days of watching the same keywords and the same ads. Then you can deduce(guesstimate) the winning keywords and winning ads.

That's the idea... and it's relevant to any affiliate or CPA marketer. So, how to get that data without a lot of hassles?

There are monthly services like KeywordSpy, Google Cash Detective, Spyfu, and Compete.

There are some scripts for getting competitors ads and keywords, such as Adpsy Pro and they have their uses but are always limited in how you can analyze and chart the data.

Just having all that data doesn't do much good if you can filter it and find the gold nuggets.

Whatever your using, please post a reply.

Thanks

    • Hi,

      As your basic ideas, i recommended PPC Bully or PPC Shadow. They're both ad spying tools. There are video guides in their websites you can see yourself.

      PPC Web spy is a well-done product. How has it worked for you?

      For me, I'm in another country, so I can't get the USA advertisers I want to see with PPC Web Spy. Most advertisers are setting ads to display only in home country

      What do you think about entering one keyword at a time into a browser to see the advertisers. With a large list of keywords, is that time consuming?

      Most services and software allow you to enter an entire list of Keywords all at once, then you can see the data comparing all advertisers for a keyword. That's helpful for decisions.

      And does it export the actual ad copy along with the advertisers keywords in a format... so you can use on your desktop to write your own ads?

      Anyone else using PPC Web Spy?
