ad spying that shows history records? spy tool?

hello!

was wondering if there is something similar to what we have here "free FB SPY", only for text ads showing on Google or other PPC platforms. the days found history is good to have cause it can tell us a little (even though we are not certain) about the ad and it's performance

i know of spyfu.com and keyworspy.com. is this what you guys use?

just for brainstorming purposes while writing ads


thanks

you can set up your own spytool. go to adspypro.com and download the free version and test it out, if you want you can pay and upgrade to the full version.

mixrank is pretty sweet....but its very limited in what it can do....if you want EVERYTHING do whatrunswhere.com......they cover a ton more virtual real estate....imo

the placement reports are pretty killer....

the trick i like with mixrank is to use the mixrank suggest feature





this way with simple keywords you can find the keywords and properties with most ads

not just useful for your own media buys / ppc campaigns but also ppv!!

yeah, have heard great things about whatrunswhere.com. at

Monthly Package
$229.00 /mo

Year Long Package
$2,500.00 /year

going to make some $$ first with free tools and hopefully can later afford whatrunswhere.com. too bad i wasted money on so many guru courses in the past... no point looking back now though right? going to kick some ass from here forward

mr. tijn, full of tricks!

can you elaborate on using mixrank and the suggest feature for ppv? this is my traffic source of focus

i imagine you would find the keywords with more properties and expand on them? take the keyword and put it through affexpert to extract more?

I managed to not waste much on gurus, mainly because my first main purchase was Chad Hamzeh's course which eventually led me here. It's funny, there are so many names in the guru area and I have never heard of any of them actually making any money other than through their Clickbank bullshit. And the few who's lists I signed up to I lost faith in pretty quickly - sending me an email a day about another new amazing Clickbank push button offer - I mean really? Weak.
