    Hi,

    I've seen adverts for the Google Cash Detective 2 system by Chris Carpenter.

    Has anyone got any experience of this system?
    What are your views on the software?
    Can it do what it promises?
    Also what about the legal issues? Doesn't the software go against Googles Terms and Conditions?

    I'm considering purchasing but i'm wary that Google may post a cease order on the company in a few months making the purchase worthless?? Added to the fact that I don't want to be conned!!

    Thanks

    A

    I was checking it out myself. I did a few test campaigns without the gcdetective, just to test the ideas out. I must confess that my, at less, my "click through rate" improve a lot.

    My friend has this and I thought it looked fairly impressive. He likes it.

    Has anyone compared this to CopyNProfit? That was the Big Thing just a couple of weeks ago and now I don't hear anything about it, except the almost daily emails from CNP.

    I have used it religiously since December as a beta tester and all I can say is WOW!

    What makes this tool so great is that it has at least 3 months and in some cases, 5 months of stored keyword data. So all you need to do is input a keyword based on a particular affiliate product you wish to promote, then all related keywords and all Adwords ads will show up for that keyword. So basically you will have a "birds eye" view of what the successful PPC advertisers are bidding on - in conjunction with the keyword - Adwords ad - landing page combination that is making them money day in day out.

    This tool makes split testing your ads obsolete, since you have over 3 months of keyword data in front of your eyes, so you know instantly which keyword-add-landing page combo is making them money.

    The tool even tells you what is the average bidding price for each keyword.

    I have to say, all of my experience is in SEO and I have had a terrible time in the past using PPC, but in the 3 months that I have been using this tool, I have already made $28,500 in affiliate income just promoting 1 Clickbank product in the Dating niche.

    I got copynprofit.. and to be honest there campaigns suck.. way too old and out of date.. I think they just got a list of KW from the Google tool and said here you go..

    Also as for affiliate espionage.. does not even come close mate.. I have this also.. and from what I see GCDetective is amazing..

    I have found the best bonus offer for Google Cash Detective

    If anyone knows a better bonus offer, or is anffiliate let me know because I am going to buy this in the next 24 hours.. and naturally want the best bonus possible.

    I was wondering how much cash did it take using Google Adwords PPC to generate $28,500? Did you make over double your money?

    I don't believe that GCD will work. The videos are very deceiving and the people who say they are beta testers and it works great are just hoping you'll click their affiliate link.

    It appears to me after watching the videos very carefully, pausing and looking closely, the GCD database does not track to the campaign level but only to the keyword level. That means that multiple affiliates could be using the same keyword, causing it to show for the last 100 days in the database. To conclude that only one affiliate is using the keyword over that period of time, as is done in the video, is very misleading.

    I also happen to mention this same point in Brad Callen's forum. Someone there didn't like my theory and they banned me. :mad:

    Sorry about that...didn't make myself clear. $28,500 was my profit after my adwords ad expense. I spent $6,370 in adwords and made $34,870 in affiliate sales. $34,870-6,370= $28,500 net profit

    I got GCD today and have been fiddling around with it for a couple hours. I've already discovered one niche that I believe I would have a very good chance to make some serious profits in, but that's really beside the point.

    It's a very good software with a lot of great features. Is it worth $2k+$97/month? I'm not exactly sure. From the looks of it so far, my experience in affiliate marketing + the statistics I can gather from this program are probably enough to make up the investment. I'll know for sure within a couple weeks;)

    Focus Focus! Don't let anything else distract you.

    Thanks for the advice. I haven't been looking over the tutorial videos but have started using the software and already found a website that's been running the same ads for over 100 days and paying $3+/keyword in a niche I specialize in. Since I haven't watched the videos I'm not 100% if my methodology is correct, but as an experienced affiliate marketer, wouldn't it be enough to find the site, copy their keywords, use a similar ad, and run similar affiliate products? Or are there some "secrets" that I'm missing out on by not watching the videos.

    I didn't get the product for the information, I got it for the tool. But if there is some really useful information that I'm not already aware of I will check out the materials if you suggest.

    Thanks.

    Actually....you are on target. Also your landing page should be similar, since that is also a pretty important part of the equation.

    Assuming you are member of GCD, make sure check out the videos....some give you a step by step on how to clone a campaign.

    I'm pretty sure this program is legitimate and it DOES work. I'm a paying member of another highly respected forum and a few people on there have started a thread about GCD. One of the guys who just started using it made $167 in the first day of his first campaign with it.

    The only thing is that this program is not exactly cheap. But considering the fact that you can really make over $160 a day with just one campaign it will pay for itself tenfold.

    I really do believe you could make $30K in three months with it easily.
    The question is, how long will it be before another Google slap will render it useless?

    I might consider getting it eventually...

    over in this thread - a bunch of customers are discussing their actual experiences with GCD. You can read their direct testimonials to get a feel.

    One of the things it teaches is how to correctly Direct Link your PPC campaigns. If you want to learn how to do that without having to pay $2000 then click my Sig link and I will tell you for free

    With GCD you're not paying $2K to learn how to direct link a campaign. (that's what original Google Cash book was for) The genius of GCD is the ability to see stored data on campaigns that worked for tons of different niches.

    Of course replicating those campaigns and competing with all of the direct-linkers is where it gets tricky. That's why you see such drastic differences of opinions on the Warrior Forum about GCD. If you have no clue about Adwords and PPC this tool might as well be a Bulldozer in your backyard.

    On the other hand if you know what's up, this thing can really save you some serious time and cash in the PPC game.

    Interesting. So this product is aimed at PPC noobs, but you will only make money with it if you are more experienced with Adwords?
