How To Steal Your Competitors’ PPC Campaigns and Profit

Ad spying tools are incredibly useful tools for anyone who advertises on the search engines. You can use them to see what other advertisers are doing, and take advantage of their pay per click research to start your own campaign. All the time that you might be spending on things like keyword research, split testing ad copy, and landing page design can now be used on other things. Why waste time doing all the work yourself, when the hard work has already been done for you?

There are numerous pay-per-click spying tools out there. Some are are the web, while others are software applications that you start from your own system. All of them work off the same basic premise. Ads showing up at the top of Google for example, consistently are more than likely to be making money for that advertiser. Otherwise, why would they spend money advertising for these top spots if they were losing money?

By taking advantage of an ad spying tool, you can automatically record and track what ads are being shown for specific keywords on a daily basis. After the tool has collected data for a long enough period of time (a couple of weeks), you should be able to quickly discover which advertisers are doing the best and for which keywords. Once you have that info, you can examine their ad copy as well as their landing page. As you can see, this knowledge can be very helpful for your own PPC campaign.

Lets take a look at several different Ad Spy Tools that I have used myself and see what they have to offer.

iSpionage – This is the most costly tool of the group and will cost you about $75 a month to use. It does offer several advantages however. First of all, it is web based, so you can use it regardless if you are on a PC or Mac. It will run its scans automatically, unlike desktop software which require you to have it open before it will do its scan. Plus, not only does it support Google Adwords, but it also can scan competitors on Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN Adcenter.

PPCKahuna Software – This software is part of the PPC Kahuna pay per click training membership. It is a windows desktop software and works on Google Adwords. It is relatively easy to use and quite powerful. What I like most about PPC Kahuna are its [excellent|great|nice] filtering capabilities [that help you easily find what you need|which helps pinpoint those profitable competitors extremely fast]. It is also updated very often, so expect it to be more powerful in future releases.

Affiliate Espionage – This is a neat little tool that not many people know about. It only costs $9.97 which is very affordable for what it can do. Since it is a Firefox extension, it works on all major platforms. Affiliate Espionage tracks the ads that it sees as you make searches. You can also input in your own keywords and have it scan during a certain time period. The extension supports the 3 major pay per click platforms (Adwords, Yahoo and MSN Adcenter) and it works by annotating the ads in your search results with useful data. The disadvantage of this tool, is that all the information is not in one place, which makes it a little less convenient to find what you want than the first two tools.

Traffic Travis – This is a great tool that any internet marketer should have. It is a desktop application that you use on your own computer. What makes it great, is that it is completely free! The Ad spy tool part of Traffic Travis is located in the PPC Analysis module. I would recommend that you try it first as new pay per click marketer. It only works with Google however, and it is not quite as easy to use as iSpionage or PPC Kahuna if you are tracking several campaigns at once.

Van Gogh Art – Van Gogh’s Most Famous Paintings In His Dutch Impressionist Art Career

This article brings Vincent Van Gogh’s best paintings from an art career which whilst short, delivered an abundance of high quality paintings. Night Cafe is a great place to start, being one of Van Gogh’s paintings, and with the cafe bar itself still in existence and serving as a homage to the great artist himself.

Sunflowers is best known for Van Gogh’s love of detail and colour, and is produced in two series of paintings, in Paris in 1887 and later in Arles. His close friend, a fellow benchmark artist, Paul Gauguin, went onto purchase two of Van Gogh’s SUnflowers paintings and they became some of his favourite works by his friend Vincent.

Cafe Terrace At Night by Van Gogh is described in many of Van Gogh’s letters to his brother, which have become very respected sources of material for those wishing to study this great artist. The cafe remains open to Van Gogh fans who often visit from around the world to feel a connection to the artist of some 120 years ago, who still drums up an incredible fan base even today.

The Starry Night features Van Gogh’s best known style of movements of imagination in motion with his paintbrush, creating mood paintings, with great feelings broadcast by the genius Dutch artist. Religion is believed to be in Vincent Van Gogh’s mind after The Starry Night was created, as he sought a way to control his own mental instability, which sadly he failed ultimately to do, leading to his untimely death.

Van Gogh’s flower paintings were brilliant at disguising his own confusion and instability with charming, sweet collections attractive sunflowers, irises or roses. In Irises, he portrayed a more positive outlook than his time in Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum would have given him, and sadly his time there was not enough to sway him from his eventual death soon after Irises was created.

Wheatfield with Crows shows Van Gogh at his moody, depressive self with dark skies and aggressive wind-torn fields. It remains one of his best and last paintings, painted in 1890, towards his sad demise which followed soon after Wheatfield with Crows was created. It is also one of the most expensive impressionist paintings ever sold.
