A Sneak Peak into My Adwords Account

By admin | Jan 18, 2010

OK there’s been a blog post circulating around claiming that I’m a “fraud,” I’ve been supposedly exposed by an “insider” who worked for PPC Classroom. Some of you may have read this post.

Well, in this post I’m going to PROVE that this disgruntled ex-PPC Classroom employee is flat out LYING.

So let’s tackle the FIRST claim “Amit Doesn’t Know Adwords”

“Source says: Amit only had like 2 successful campaigns. One was a regcure campagin, and one was public records. Thats it. I saw inside his Adwords account and it was a complete joke. He basically got REALLY lucky. I mean he had adgroups and keywords stuck all over the place. It looked like some total newbs account, basically nothing like anything he teaches.”

REALLY?

OK, how about we LOOK into my Adwords account to see if this is TRUE?

Here’s an account overview…(in the interest of full disclosure this one of the accounts that got banned, because back when I was a newbie I promoted a “make money with google” offer)

These are NOT all my campaigns in this account (this is ONLY 1 of my Adwords accounts btw).

Here’s a look at the total number of campaigns and total adspend on search on content:

You’ll notice that’s 239 campaigns. Now of course NOT all of these were consistently profitable, probably only 60 out of 239 were profitable consistently.

As for the number of successful offers I’ve had? About 8. Some of these offers were SUPER successful. And regcure and records were not even my MOST successful offers. I’ve had offers that I’ve spend $10k/day on with 200% ROI.

Now let’s take a look INSIDE of one of my campaigns and see if it looks like “some total newbs account”. (if what I already showed you isn’t convincing enough)

Here’s a view of ONE of my campaigns, this is a smaller one, it only has 84 adgroups, I have other campaigns with 1000s of adgroups:

This is a search campaign btw. Let’s take a closer look, and go into one of the adgroups. Here are the keywords…

Now let’s take a look at the ads…(notice that I not only split tested ad text but the display URL as well)

I’m not done yet. Let’s look at a campaign where I used a completely different approach: placement targeting on myspace.

The lesson here is BE CAREFUL not to believe everything you read, especially if it’s on a site that’s dedicated to attacking people and putting people down, instead of helping people and providing value.

Now as for the other claims in this attack post…..

“Amit Got Banned from Adwords. Twice.”

Owwwww… you got me on this one!

This is TRUE. In fact almost every super affiliate I know (and even several merchants with brick and mortar businesses) have been banned at least once at this point.

I had 2 of my adwords accounts banned, and several others accounts in good standing that do have affiliate offers running as we speak.

Because I had 2 of my account banned I have a better idea of what will and will NOT get you banned. So yes I’m QUALIFIED to teach that.

Who’s REALLY “Full. Of. Shit.”?

Next Claim…

“PPC Classroom Sells Out Its Students”

“This is nothing earth shattering. If you have a group of buyers you want to upsell them, mail them, whatever you can to squeeze out the pennies from their wallets.

So any time a new guru shit head product comes out, the PPC Classroom people get their customers to buy that shit so they can earn a handsome affiliate commission.”

First off, were 100% upfront about getting an affiliate commission (buy through our link and get our bonus). Duh!

Second, I 100% endorse Google Cash Detective, it’s actually a GREAT market research tool. Which is why I recommended our students take advantage of it.

However, I ALSO added that it was NOT absolutely necessary to succeed, but strongly recommended. I was upfront about that right from the beginning (not a month later).

And NO WHERE CLOSE to all the student bought into it. Our sales numbers were in the 100s and we have 1000s of students.

OK Next Point…

This one is a REALLY pernicious LIE….

“PPC Classroom had False Testimonies”

“Inside source says: On their latest launch they had fake testimonials. I think they took them down now but several of the testimonials were from the COACHES, not students of PPC Classroom. They (testimonials) said how Amit helped them earn millions, etc…just flat out lying.”

We NEVER had false testimonies, EVER. WE send surveys to all our students and I PERSONALLY emailed our top students to get detailed testimonies.

If I had to prove it I can show you the email threads.

YES, we had one testimony from a ex-coach, Peter Dunbar. BEFORE he was a coach he credits his success to what he learned from this blog and PPC Classsroom.

Because of his success with my teachings (yes we even had a testimony from him before he was briefly a coach for 3 months), we brought him on as a coach.

I can personally vouch for EVERY SINGLE testimony on our sites. They’re all 100% legit.

And the last point “PPC Classroom is Going Under – Not Paying Its Affiliate”

LOL

OK you’d seriously have to be brain dead, or not paying attention to buy this one.

PPC Classroom has been one of (if not THE) most successful PPC Affiliate training program ever released. It did HIGH 7-figures in revenue in 2009.

To suggest that it’s going under or we’re not paying our affiliates is CRAZY.

NICE job with the little chat exchange. I wouldn’t expect anything less from people who make their money from fake blogs and fake news articles.

And YES google will eventually catch on that you’re changing the keyword destination urls to go to a scam CPA offers while having your ad destination URL go to a high authority site.

Who are you kidding anyway?

Btw, if you want a good laugh, here the original attack post:

This is Full. Of. Shit.
