Speed Ppc

This Thursday, I think, Speed PPC is launching.
If you haven’t heard of Speed PPC, it sounds like some wicked cool software - the idea is that you can put together hundreds, even thousands of Adwords campaigns in minutes.
Let me tell you about my biggest current problem: time to try everything that I get exposed to.
Really, it’d be damn easy for me to write up a promo, send it out touting Speed PPC as the greatest thing I’ve seen to date and collect a fat commission check.
Truth is, I haven’t had time to install it, learn how to use, set up Adwords campaigns and test them to the point of saying “Buy this, it works” - and I doubt seriously anyone else has either.
Here’s my initial take on Speed PPC - it reminds me a helluva lot, in concept, of Article Bot.
Although I’m pretty damn anti-Adsense at this date in history, there was a time I LOVED Article Bot - not because it made money for me (it didn’t), but because I saw so much potential I was never quite able to realize.
What’s Article Bot? It’s the original page spinning software - and SO MUCH more. In essence, it makes short work of creating thousands of pages along the lines of “Houston Dentist” . . . “Los Angeles Orthondontist” . . . “Denver Dental Work” - in other words, you enter in two sets of word phrases - like a list of cities, and a list of terms used for “dentist”. Click a button and Article Bot spins out unique and unlimited variations.
The problem with Article Bot was
a) it could so damn much it wasn’t funny
b) it had a STEEP learning curve and
c) it essentially created junk pages (though it could create some really high quality stuff too).
We can also add d) While creator Don Harrold is one of the most brilliant minds I’ve met in IM, he’s also a tad bit erratic. (I’m selling it, I’m not selling it, I’m selling it for a lot . . . no I’m doing cheap monthly payments . . . no, I’m not offering it all anymore . . . no, now it’s freeware . . . nevermind, it’s only $39 a month now - seriously, this is how it played out and if it weren’t so damned nuts I’d swear he was a brilliant marketer)
What does this have to do with Speed PPC? I’m thinking “Article Bot streamlined and designed for PPC” - it’s the same basic concept (in my head), only made for PPC. It has the same tantalizing potential with the same pitfalls (though let’s hope Jay Stockwell, Speed PPC creator, is a little more stable).
Bottom line: This can be a great tool for someone who’s focused and advanced. If you’re new to the PPC game, I strongly recommend you stay away from this candy.
Again, I’ve only read the documentation - I haven’t had time to put it in action and if you’ve got some money to blow on a new toy, I think you’ll probably have fun with this - and I hope you make some good money while you’re at it because I think the potential is there.
