Find Out Working PPC Keywords For $9.99

I know I've already reviewed the Affiliate Espionage Fire Fox plugin before, but I just can't stop praising this PPC tool. There is no question it's already saved me money and most importantly has showed me who my main competitors are or will be shortly. It's an evolution and Affiliate Espionage indicates what may be trouble for me later. Well worth the paltry $9.99 entry fee.

For example, I'm watching a few sets of keywords and how the Adwords campaigns are sizing up. These are the same keywords I'm currently bidding on and the plugin allows me to track who is spending money on those money making words. Now, I've enjoyed some non-competition in the past, but it looks like others are starting to spend thriftly in my neighborhood of keywords.

By watching them start ramping up their campaigns and seeing how long they focus on my same keywords, I can better manage my own campaigns. By increasing my CPC, I can help ensure that I'm at the top of the search results. This doesn't help out too much with Adwords content placement, but it will give me a slight edge over those looking to steal some of my business.

Affiliate Marketing Plugins I Use

I don't use a whole lot of affiliate tool plugins, but the ones I do use, I'd hate to ever be without. This will be my first installment on tools that I recommend any affiliate marketer use, not matter how experienced you are.

These tools are not magic and will not just produce sales for you. However, they will help automate a lot of the manual labor involved with keyword and niche research.

Affiliate Espionage - I just picked this beauty up a few days ago and it's making my heart sing. Please check out an honest review of the Affiliate Espionage plugin. Basic uses are it helps research which keywords are converting best for Adwords advertisers. Sure has saved me money already that would have been wasted on poor keyword choices.

(Affiliate Espionage is the only paid tool I've ever used.)

Rank Checker - This is a tool from SEOBook.com and allows you to build keyword lists. It then automatically runs scans on the top 3 search engines to find your rankings based on which domain you want the keywords linked to. This plugin is free!

Good Keywords - This is another free tool that allows you to generate misspellings of keywords and help flesh out some other keyword ideas you may not have thought of. The tool itself is software that you run and store it's database locally, you can get it at SEO Labs.

So these are a few tools that I'm currently using and no doubt mileage varies from user to user. While I wouldn't say you NEED these tools to be a successful affiliate marketer, they certianly help with time management, automating much of the research process.

If you have a tool to recommend let me know, I'm always on the look out of the next helpful plugin or script.
