A Fair Report on Brad Callen's Free "PPC Web Spy" Software.
Brad Callen's Free Adwords Spying Software called "PPC Web Spy" has gotten both positive and negative reviews. When I first saw the sales page I thought "how can he possibly make anything better than his other software programs such as, Keyword Elite, SEO Elite, and Affiliate Elite?
After I read the sales page and watched the demo video, I thought it was pretty cool myself, then I read the part that made it extra special. It's FREE!!
But then I began to read the review blogs and noticed something pretty insane. There was one particular blog that gave Brad's PPC Web Spy software a real honest to goodness beating up. If the dude is not impressed that's fine, but the crazy part was the comments that I read in response to the post that was bashing PPC Web Spy.
A few of the commentators were blindly saying "thanks for giving such a real opinion I can trust, I was going to download the software and try it, but thanks to your post, you saved me the time and hassle!"
Again, I'm ok with the fact that the blog owner did not like the software, so no problem there (in case he is reading this). What I think is kinda crazy is the readers never thought to give the PPC Web Spy software a try to find out for themselves, I mean, since it is FREE!!!
It's not as if this software came from some weird, unknown corner of the world, we're talking about Brad Callen here, Holy Cow! The dude holds the standard by which all others try to measure up to, so I think you can trust your purchase from Brad Callen. Well SMACK me in the forehead! Did I say..."Purchase"? I'm sorry, I meant..."FREE DOWNLOAD"! DUH!!!!
(Sorry, I like sarcasm, but that's just me).

The True Agendas behind What's REALLY Going On with Brad's PPC Web Spy.
And the Truth of Why I want to Tell YOU All About it!
PPC Web Spy by Brad Callen: My Opening Statement.
I am going to be totally Honest & Transparent for you so that you can know that what you read here is going to be the real truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as I see it. If I tell you anything here that is inaccurate, it will be because I was simply wrong myself. No lies.
What is the agenda of Brad Callen, PPC Web Spy, all these bloggers going crazy, and yes , even myself.
After putting my thoughts together for what to write, I realized that there is a whole lot to write, so it might take me several days to finish. I hope you don't mind.
The short story (if that's possible) is this.
When you download the free PPC Web Spy software, Brad hits you with a OTO to get the "Platinum" version of the software at a cost of $97. Ok, no big surprise, right?
The $97 upgrade increases the functionality of the software to showing you 100 keywords instead of only 10 keywords that the free version gives you, amongst other extra stuff. If you decline and say you just want the free software, then Brad basically offers you a smaller upgrade for $47, and you get half of the goodies that comes with the $97 upgrade.
If you still say "No, I just want the free software.....", then he says "ok, well... Just to let you know, if you refer 5 people to download, you will become a 'Silver' member....." The Silver upgrade gives you a couple of pretty cool bonuses like marketing training video's etc.
This brings me to MY "agenda".
Again, in TRYING to keep this short, if I can get 5 people to down load even the free version, I get the Cool Free video's & stuff. So what do you think, can you help me out? Remember, it's Brad Callen We're talking about. You can't go wrong, right? hehe.
http://www.ppcwebspy.com/downloads/?amc .(BTW, it's just a FireFox Plugin) One more thing, of course there is an up-sell. I suggest you don't get caught up in the emotion of the hype. If you do decide to upgrade, make sure you do it because you KNOW for a fact that you can actually benefit from it. For what it's worth, I have not yet upgraded myself.
How's that for transparency!
Ok, I'm getting tired. I'll write more later or tomorrow. But before I go, I forgot to mention a couple of things, one of which is very import!
1: One of the blogs that reviewed Brad's new keyword tool said that the "PPC Web Spy FireFox Plugin" does not work on a Mac. Well, it works on My Mac just fine! (see? misinformation for bashing purposes). In Fact, I use a browser called "Flock" and I even have it working on flock AND FireFox.....On a Mac! (Mac users, you're welcome) :)
2: Honestly, no kidding, So far I am having a blast with the free version, it is definitely worth giving up your email address to Brad Callen and suffering through the temptation (but resisting) the up-sell pages. The free version is very cool and somewhat helpful and informational. Yup, especially since it is free!
Ok, more later.

Nothing from CafePress on Brad's PPC Web Spy...Yet.
I'll make this cafe press module look better after I finish the PPC Web Spy Report thing-a-ma-jig.
Who know's? I might even design a CafePress T-Shirt that says "I Love PPC Web Spy" on it. Imagine walking in the mall wearing something like that. Oh Man, that would be COOL!!

- I agree with you that people are sometimes crazy blindly accepting such harsh negative reviews when the program is free and if the majority like it then why not try it yourself. I havent heard of this software either but Brad has a good reputation. I hope you come back from fixing your car and go into more detail of how you found the software yourself. I will look forward to it.
