Went through the whole course of PPC Classroom already.

I picked up a thing or two that I didn’t know before.

The fact that everything has been systemized into a step-by-step process will be of tremendous help to the newcomer to the PPC game.

I just read an email bashing Perry Marshall for promoting PPC Classroom.

The reader thought Perry Marshall was being evil by promoting a hyped by program that doesn’t work. Perry Marshall responded by “firing” this customer and removing him from all his mailing lists.

Harsh?

Yeah, but well, he’s Perry.

My guru.

His recommendation was one of the reasons I decided to get into PPC Classroom too.

Sure, PPC Classroom is a hyped up product, like so many others. 

But in Perry’s words, hype makes more money in this market; Amit and Anik were only demonstrating their understanding of the market’s hot buttons, and pushing them appropriately.

Anyway, back to the topic.

If you’re anywhere near serious about PPC Affiliate Marketing at all, trust me; PPC Classroom is good stuff. I’m not even asking you to purchase through my link, so you know I’m not bullshitting.

Heck, even the bonuses are crazy; Anik and Amit pulled some really tough strings there.

I’ve long learnt not to judge bonuses using their monetary value as quoted by the product owner.

But in this particular case, I know

buy ultram

that the Speed PPC bonus itself is worth more than the entrance fee to PPC Classroom by itself.

So yeah, do get in with Andre’s link, get his cool bonus, and let me know here what you think of it.

As you might know, my core competency is in PPC Marketing.

I invest heavily in my PPC education, but I never really considered getting into PPC Classroom 2 until yesterday.

Why?

Someone highly recommended it. And he had 2 bonuses if I bought through his link.

Who?

Andre Chaperon.

More specifically, Andre Chaperon and Brent Hall. Andre’s always the voice and Brent’s always the man in the background.

Both are geniuses, in my humble opinion.

I happily paid for my membership, and I’m liking what I see.

It’s very nicely broken down step-by-step, and there’s a quiz at the end of each module. Here are the modules:

  • Forward: Hitting the Tipping Point to Super Affiliate Success
  • Module 1 - Market Research
  • Module 2 - Keyword Research and Building a Killer Profit Pulling Keyword List
  • Module 3 - Direct Linking, Landing Pages, and Your Own Affiliate Site
  • Module 4 - How to Set Up Your AdWords Campaign Properly
  • Module 5 - How to Design a High-Converting Landing Page
  • Module 6 - Understanding the Google Quality Score
  • Module 7 - Launching Your Campaign… Do You Have a Dud, or a Winner?
  • Module 8 - The Importance of Split Testing and How to Do it Correctly
  • Module 9 - Bid Optimization Strategies

And no, I don’t have an affiliate link for you today.

If you’re interested in joining PPC Classroom, I highly encourage you to purchase through Andre and Brent’s link: http://www.marketingbully.com/our-bribe

And do leave me a note about what you think!

If you missed the previous parts of the Speed PPC Case Study, here they are:
Speed PPC Case Study Part 0
Speed PPC Case Study Part 1
Speed PPC Case Study Part 2

Looking back, I finished setting up the case study 7 days ago, on the 21st April.

I have about 10 keywords, which I transformed into 10 adgroups without breaking a sweat with Speed PPC. Yes, 10 adgroups with ONE keyword per adgroup, each having its broad, exact, and phrase counterparts. I thought this sort of adgroups only happened in fairy tales.

As you might recall, the MSN and Yahoo! versions of this campaign were also magically generated from Speed PPC all at one go.

I’m having problems with Yahoo! because they don’t allow you to import campaigns until you’ve spent more than $200 with them in clicks cost. I was slightly irritated at first, but they agreed to help my upload my campaigns for the first 1500 keywords so I guess I’ll stick with them.

Not like it takes too long to build up a $200 adspend.

But as of this point in time, I’ve only got the Google and MSN campaigns up, each with 10 keywords.

Here’s my adspend.

Erm, I believe Google doesn’t allow advertisers to show their stats? I hope this is fine? Anyway, I’m not spending $0.33 SGD per click, and have accumulated a total of $4.57 SGD, which is approximately equals to $2.69 USD on Google.

I’ve only had one pathetic click from MSN at $0.26 USD.

Notice the dismal number of clicks. The CTR is fine though. Not perfect, but fine, given the number of keywords I have, and the obscurity of the niche.

So I’ve spent a total of $2.95 USD and ~30 minutes on the campaign so far. (It took so long because I was learning Speed PPC and watching the video as I went along)

And I now have one sale from the campaign, 3 days ago.

commssions

For a profit of $24.26. Nothing to write home about, but it’s a profit of 822.37% return on investment nonetheless.

Also, take note that I’m not using a custom-made landing page for this; all I’m doing is direct-linking, which adds to the coolness of it all. I’ll let the campaign run abit more, and after my exams, when I have the mood, I’ll do a little bit of research and throw in more keywords, add in the Yahoo! component, and hope it starts making me consistent sales everyday.

Again, if you decide to get Speed PPC via my link, I’ll be there to help you set up your first campaign with it, and soon enough, you’ll be good enough to do it yourself.
