Happy to answer any questions here. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; To Mark Blair&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should check out the affiliate datafeed solution that comes with the software (in the Affiliate Pro version).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It allows you to pull the datafeeds (which are basically semi regularly updated CSV files) and upload it into the system (which installs on your server).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can then pull all the product names (and combine them with buy style keywords if you like) and then feed them into the campaign builder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using a URL hook when you build the campaigns allows you to point it into the datafeed software (which now has a database of your merchant loaded).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The net effect is this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1 ad group for every product with perfectly targeted ads (with model name included) which then creates a bridge page dynamically that pulls all the contents from the datafeed including product name, descriptions, photos and of course your deep affiliate link (into the merchant product page - not home page).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you understand affiliate marketing, you'll see just how powerful this is!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See: &lt;a href="http://www.speedppc.com/affiliate-datafeed-software-explained/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.speedppc.com/affiliate-datafeed-software-explained/"&gt;http://www.speedppc.com/aff...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; To Dennis Edell&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) Yeah... Andy is right. It's a desktop app you run to build the campaign. You only run it when you need it, much like Word etc.&lt;br&gt;2) I haven't used AdTrackz but I have yet to see a tracking system that it won't work with. It's super flexible like that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; To Anya&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The price fades away to nothing when you see how much time you save and how much better your campaigns are improved. If PPC is a part of your marketing mix you would have to be doing something seriously wrong if you can't make the purchase price back within a few weeks - even in just time saved. Remember, it's a one time fee!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep asking questions! I'm happy to answer them. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jay Stockwell</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:56:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: SpeedPPC V3.0 Released</title><link>http://andybeard.eu/1327/speedppc-v30-released.html#comment-10994070</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the post Andy!

You run it on your desktop when creating stuff then upload it to your server.&lt;br&gt;It is not going to be running on your system all the time&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am pretty sure it could be used with Adtrackz, maybe even better than many of the more modern tracking solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adtrackz has always been one of the more unique solutions in that it is able to generate tracking links on the fly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big problem with Adtrackz, at least for me buying it directly from Jonah is that it seems to have real problems with PHP5, and Jonah doesn't seem to be very responsive these days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is a serious application with quite a serious price, but at the same time I expect them to have phenomenal support and you only pay once to own the software.&lt;br&gt;There are upgrade fees every 12 months which are optional - I am not sure how much those are - I will give Jay a nudge if he doesn't pop by in the next 24hrs to answer questions left here.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">AndyBeard</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Apr 2008 09:59:26 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
