AdSpyPro – The Affordable Adwords Spy Software
If you have just shelled out $497 + $97 per month for Google Cash Detective and its Automator, the launch of AdSpyPro may make you feel a little sick. I suggest you stop reading right now, or start thinking about putting in a refund request.
A couple of weeks ago I made a post here saying it was a pity that the cost of software like Google Cash Detective, Undercover Profits and The Rich Jerk‘s X-Ray Domination was so high as to be out of reach of so many people. However, all three sold out very fast – Google Cash Detective closed its doors within a few hours of its launch last week – and so many people rushing in at that price just proves how profitable affiliate marketing can be.
The benefit of these programs, in case you missed my earlier post, is that they ‘spy’ on your competitors’ ads, showing you which ones are affiliates and whether they are making money (on the assumption that no affiliate will continue to run an ad that loses money for more than a certain time). You can then copy the ad and you are almost guaranteed a profitable campaign.*
The alternative for affiliate marketers who do not have Adwords spy software, is to test by running actual campaigns. If you do your keyword research and write your ads well, perhaps 1 in 20 will be profitable. At first you will make a loss, but by dropping or tweaking the losers, continuing the one profitable campaign and starting tests on another batch, you will slowly build the number of money-making Adwords campaigns and start to show a profit. At least, that’s how it used to be.
The problem, for those who do not have the new software, is that it is designed to give others the power to move in on your profitable campaigns. So the playing field is no longer level, and it will now be very difficult for inexperienced affiliates to build up profits using the trial and error method.
The good news for anyone who couldn’t afford Google Cash Detective or missed its launch (and the bad news for anyone who joined) is that ‘Ethiccash’ aka Jean-Philippe Schoeffel has just brought out a virtual clone for a tiny fraction of the price, with no ongoing monthly fee.

I decided not to buy Google Cash Detective myself, so I cannot tell you personally how the two compare, but there is a testimonial on the AdSpyPro page from someone who did. He writes that he will be returning GCD. The reason? The huge difference in price, the ongoing costs of GCD, and problems with the GCD Automator. Here’s his conclusion:
“Google Cash Detective is still in beta in my opinion. Google Cash Automator is not truly automated. I hate hidden fees, so that annoyed me. And it is over priced.
AdSpy Pro is the clear winner here. The AdSpy Pro documentation is clear and concise, the contextual help is great. The tool actually works and there are no hidden fees.”
Order AdSpyPro now before JP puts the price up. Seriously. He’s already done it once.

P.S. Even with AdSpy Pro, you will still want to do some niche and keyword research to find good ads to watch. Here’s a link to a page where you will find a free download that will help you with that: hot niches
