I bet you have received dozens of emails about today's launch of the Rich Jerk's latest product called X-Ray Affiliate Domination. Basically, it's a software which allows you to track what keywords from the PPCs are bringing in the cash for you. Before you spend your hard earned money on it, please read my review below.

The Rich Jerk's X-Ray Affiliate Domination script will be installed on your server and also allows you to import your sales statistics from Clickbank or Commission Junction into the software. Because these networks allow you to add tracking IDs to their URLs, you will be able to determine which keywords are the best performing ones and delete the non performing keywords from your PPC campaigns. These details will be shown in your stats within the admin area of this script.

This in itself is not a bad thing to have. At a reasonable price I'd probably recommend it. But I have to warn you: It will be about $1000. And that's why affiliates are stacking up the bonuses again (hey, I'm doing that too if I feel a product is worth recommending it) but this time almost 99% of them are wrong in doing so because of the following reasons:

1.) A script like that could easily be done by a programmer from Scriptlance or Elance and you would probably have to pay 50% or less for it but you would be able to sell it yourself after you got your copy.

2.) There's a script out there that does 90% of what the Rich Jerk's script does (apart from importing sales stats). Even though people said it's a clone, I doubt it is because the development started in Dec. already when no one knew the Rich Jerk would be releasing a similar script in March 07. This other script was available at roughly 1/20 of the Rich Jerk's selling price. It's called "Conversion tracker" and was recently sold as a WSO in the Warrior's Forum.

3.) Even though you get the script to do your tests and see what keywords are performing well for you, you still have to spend a lot of your money on these campaigns to see a.) which keywords are working b.) which products are selling (especially if you're selling Clickbank products only).

4.) Next week, there'll be a tool out that is much better than X-Ray Domination. It's called Undercover Profits and shows you exactly which keywords and which products are profitable on Google Adwords. The difference is that it doesn't track your own keywords and campaigns but it's monitoring other people's campaigns and tells you what products they are advertising as well as which keywords they are bidding on. This takes PPC marketing to a whole new level.

My recommendation: Keep your money in your pockets. Do NOT BUY the Rich Jerk's software.

Wait for Undercover Profits ( I still don't know what the price of that one will be) because with that one, you'll also get to see the keywords and products of the most profitable campaigns on Google Adwords which other people are running.

These are the ones which are run by affiliates and you can see how many days of the month they were online. In other words, the whole testing and tracking has been done, once you are ready to set up your campaigns. You'll save thousands in wasted PPC clicks as you know for sure that these campaigns will be profitable.

Just to make it clear: I don't have anything against the Rich Jerk… I even own his ebook. But I don't like that he's selling this software at such a price so the people who could need it would not be able to afford it anyway. And then considering the fact that you'd still need to run your own unprofitable campaigns, first, in order to find the gems, I simply think it's not worth it.
