Which is best: SpeedPPC or Full Auto PPC, to make money using AdWords?

If you’re ever built up a Google AdWords campaign from scratch, you know how labor intensive it can get if you want to create a more complex ad campaign.

For instance, if you’re looking to build an AdWords campaign to sell a dating site, for instance, to all 500 major US cities with landing or shadow pages customized to properly handle the visitors coming from each and every one of these cities, it could take you a lot of time to do it.

You could toy around with PHP / MySQL and create a dynamic landing page which is triggered to show different content on the page depending a variable (or set of many variables) that you pass in the URL (after the “?”, for instance, like “?city=miami&preference=straight&goal=marriage“).

The key here, like in most successful AdWords campaigns, is to make sure the visitors lands on a page which closely matches what he’s —really— looking for. Hence the hundreds of different landing pages originating from the hundreds of different AdWords ads — which would normally take very long to set-up.

But…

Two products caught my attention.

They both speed up the process of creating unlimited ad codes and landing pages (or shadow pages) which can truly help you make lots of money, using Google AdWords…

As you can see, both products are somewhat expensive but the Full Auto PPC online service has a much lower entry price point, which is good news for marketers who want to get a piece of the action, fast.

SpeedPPC is a downloadable software that gets updated once in a while. The package comes with some training which is useful for the beginners out there. Full Auto PPC essentially provides all the important components without the need to download anything to your computer, which instantly makes it the ONLY alternative for MacOS and Linux / Unix users.

You can buy both, if you want but in my opinion, Full Auto PPC is way more affordable because you can make all your campaigns within the first month and recoup your “monthly fee” very fast — you can keep your membership if you want to, at that point (money will likely be no problem).

Like anything in life, make sure to be creative in finding the right product or service to promote (dating services work well, by the way but it can be anything, really).

Microsoft’s PubCenter Publisher is a no-go

Google AdSense‘s revenue for publishers is lower than ever but at least, it’s humanly feasible to submit an application and get accepted.

With Yahoo!’s Publisher Network (YPN), it’s extremely hard to get in but there’s a minuscule sliver through which you may get invited so that also something you can plan on (however long that plan may take to materialize).

But the absolute worse of all the pay-per-click networks is…

Microsoft!

Yep, the Redmond giant which messes up so many things it touches has managed to burn billions of dollars in absolutely nothing of any worth to bring about the lamest excuse for an ad network, ever. Microsoft has called this horrible creature “PubCenter Publisher” giving out the false impression that publishers actually have a remote chance to be accepted within their realm of mediocrity.

For now and most likely for a very long time, the PubCenter is in beta (yes, the beta “thing”, again) so whenever something messes up, they blame it on the ongoing development which nobody can prove or disprove.

And if you’re completely out of your mind and still want to be a M$ publisher, here’s what you need…

  • you must have a US address; plus
  • a US Social Security number or a US IRS tax ID number; and
  • you must also fill out an online W9 form.

So if you live outside of the US, you’re toast!

And if you’re a US-based web publisher marketing international web properties, expect only your US-based “clicks” to count, which is very frustrating since the real growth is happening outside the United States, right now.

Furthermore, since the PubCenter is an invitation only club, you can submit your site all you want, only the insanely huge, top-tier web destinations ever catch M$’ attention.

But it gets even worse…

Assuming you become a PubCenter publisher, your first site needs to be approved and then, all your other sites need to go through the entire process of being approved… again. And there’s a maximum of 10 sites! Talk about backwards.

In their Terms of Service (ToS), M$ writes “Publishers subject to backup withholding are not eligible to participate in the adCenter Publisher program and will receive no payments.” — so even after proving you’re fine and dandy, everything can skid in weird directions! Wouhou…

And last but not least…

You’re only allowed to use a Microsoft Windows-equipped PC (and they really check for that). A Mac or Linux computer will be permanently excluded from their program. It’s braindead-dumb to start with but knowing that M$ owns about 15% of Apple, it’s downright idiotic to bar users of an OS off which they derive healthy profits.

So this is how Microsoft treats its publishers!

Makes you want to run the other way… far, far away from that much ignorance of how the Net really works.

If you want to exit the pay-per-click race to nowhereland, join the select club of domain name, web hosting and SSL certs selling by purchasing your own web services store where customers —form all over the world— can buy an unlimited number of services from you, at prices you determine.
