Derek Beau’s Cool New Tool & Super Affiliate Accelerator
October 18th, 2007 by 
Amit
If you have not heard of Derek Beau, he is one of the top affiliate bloggers on the net, in my opinion. Derek’s blog is a veritable online ebook, a step by step guide really, on how to make money online.
Derek recently introduced a cool new tool, The Campaign Builder & Keyword Mixer. It’s an absolutely free tool that allows you to setup your campaigns, ads, and keywords in bulk.
In Derek’s own words here’s how this tool works:
“The concept is actually very simple. You take two sets of keywords, set some options, and write some ads. The tool will then create the CSV data required to import everything into your AdWords account. All you have to do is copy/paste it into AdWords Editor.
The beauty of this is that it will create highly targeted ad groups with custom text ads for each of them. You really have to try it to see exactly how it works, but it is possible to create, for example, 300 ad groups with 10 keywords and 3 custom ads each, in under 10 minutes. The end result is an expanded keyword list, higher CTRs for your long-tail keywords, and higher keyword quality scores.”
Speed PPC does exactly, more or less, what Derek’s tool does, except it costs a whopping $497. I would strongly recommend you download Derek’s tool and at the very least learn how this bulk method of building campaigns works. It will dramatically cut down the time it takes you to launch a campaign and increase your profitability big time as a result.
Before any of these bulk tools came on the market I developed a method using Adwords Editor, Excel + some powerful add ons to setup Adwords campaigns at blazing speeds.
This method allows me to setup hundreds, even thousands, of lazer targeted adgroups, in minutes. Using this method and other advanced techniques, I’ve developed a system to scale my affiliate business so I can launch a 500 keyword campaign and a 10,000 keyword campaign in roughly the same amount of time. As you can imagine, this has allowed me to skyrocket my profitability.
Plus I also manage all my campaigns using these advanced methods, which includes everything from testing ad copy and adjusting bids in bulk.
If you’re interested in learning exactly, step by step, how my system works, I divulge all my secrets in an info product I’m developing with Andrew Wee called Super Affiliate Accelerator. This product includes a series of interviews, camtasia videos, and case studies on how I : setup, launch, optimize, and manage my campaigns.
This product is basically the bonus we offered to anyone who purchased PPC Classroom through my link.
If you’re interested in purchasing a pre-launch copy of this product (it goes for $297) please email :

GREAT!
I did purchase PPC and STILL waiting for it in my mail. I live in Norway so I need to be patient… Your bonuses are DEFINITELY teaching me the “missing links” in PPC soooo my next question is:
Are you going to show the “bonus-group” how to use Derek’s tool in the near future?
Thanks a million for your help so far..I almost purchased Speed PPC meaning you saved me $497…
JT
still pawning stuff, eh? why don’t you make it free like the product you just recommended?
If you keep trying to offload “stuff” on your readers, it will eventually chase them away or they might even begin to distrust you.
Susan,
I am sorry, but I completely disagree with you. I have read every post in this entire blog and I learned more about what it really takes to be a super affiliate than I have from any of the $97 ebooks I have read. If Amit wants to charge for a tool that he created and uses he has every right to do so.
If you want it for free then you should put the time in to learn on your own as Amit did and then create your own tool to fit your needs.
I think that it is funny that some people think that once you reach a certain level in online marketing you are obligated to tell the world how you do it for free.
Sorry for the rant Amit, but I see this attitude in the comments alot and it is seriously annoying.
Keep up the great work Amit
Andy
andy,
yes - you are right. I should put in the work and learn this stuff on my own (and I will). However, if you tell me just how much money you are making (as amit does) and how good your lifestyle is, then… I come to your blog and I see that you are selling $10 t-shirts, classes, software, etc, etc…is it not natural for me to wonder whether you are in fact, making as much money as you claim?
but you’re right - it’s his blog and he can do whatever he wants and sell whatever he wants, but the more he pawns, the more skeptical i become about how much he’s really making (not that it matters to him or anyone else, it’s just my opinion).
I haven’t seen too much about what the other PPC Classroom referrers offered but I can say that my man has taken care of his peoples. The Accelarator is a bargain at twice the price given the amount you will learn just watching Amit set up a campaign. If you’ve ever set up a campaign manually, watching him use Excel and AdWords Editor to create a huge number of keywords and ad groups in minutes is like a light bulb going off. If you have learned from what Amit has written in this blog, you will learn a lot more from this course. Thanks again Amit and Andrew!
Awesome Amit!
Hey Susan, it’s natural to be skeptical and I know how you feel, I’ve felt the same way before about a lot of affiliate marketers. What I’ve found though is that good marketers make money in more ways than just one and try to monetize any opportunity or avenue they have.
Amit’s blog is the perfect place to blend both free content as well as promote additional products. In fact, I would distrust him if he WASN’T leveraging his blog to make money because it would show he’s not a good marketer and he would only be leaving money on the table.
Perhaps I’m biased because I know Amit, I am good friends with him, and I know a lot about his business, however, you can take my word for it, he does extremely well as a Super Affiliate, and will probably do just as well if not better as an Information Marketer among other things.
Susan,
The bottom line is this. Amit offers a lot of free advice, and very good free advice at that. To my knowledge he has promoted PPC Classroom, now he is going to sell his own tool, and yes sells his t-shirts. Those are the only three things that he has, in your words “offloaded or pawned” on us.
Just look at some of the other super affiliate blogs. Almost every post has an affiliate link in it even if it is just a link to azoogle or some other network, plus they have banner ads, adsense, and “recommended” tools/services. Blogs like this are few and far between and we should be grateful for people like Amit and Derek.
10$ to the first person who hacks the server and gets everyone free access. Ah amit you’ve resorted to pimping ebooks now. Ugh.
For the love of god Amit, don’t try to help people like you have been. I can’t believe the people who are bashing you about creating an info product.
No one bashed you about creating this “free” info product did they? Nope. They would just show up and read the info then go on their merry way.
But create a more advanced look into your business (as many were begging for) and sell it, as you deserve to do so, and people start whining!
Amazing..

bluehatseo is not pimping anything.
I only started questioning amit’s street cred when he mentioned jerry palmer. I bought the ebook, which was like 200 pages long and i didn’t think it was very good (others may have a different opinion).
Then, I started seeing full page ads he was taking out in revenue magazine and I was look what? eventually, I just stopped reading his blog because I got tired of being pimped.
It was like: “if you want to make as much money as me, you need to buy this, this and this (from me of course!).
Anyway, I’d like Amit or anyone else to tell me what tools they used when they were first starting out. Did they buy $300 dollar e-class programs or was it reading up on all the free information on the website.
Thank you
He he he….Susan and Michael! Any success online yet
…obviously not!
Michael,
What you say about Amit says little about him but speaks volumes about yourself.
JT:
Not yet. That’s why I can’t afford a $297 dollar program!
How about you? i’m assuming if you were making money, you wouldn’t be reading this blog.
Hi JT,
In my videos I talk about how to setup campaigns in bulk using Excel, it’s a different approach than Derek’s tool and Speed PPC, it has many advantages as well.
Hi Micheal,
Congratulations, you are the first person to officially be blocked from commenting on my blog.
Do everyone a big favor and find a public affiliate marketing forum to spew your crap.
Here’s a heads up to everyone, anyone who consistently posts nothing but personal attacks on me, my fellow readers, and friends WILL BE BLOCKED.
Susan:
I’m here only to learn more..
I’m NOT filthy rich yet
However, I do get enough to be convinced that this stuff works. If you only tried a fraction of what is preached by Amit, Jeremey and those guys, you will get there.
Good luck..
JT
Way to go Amit,
Block themmmmmm.
I visit your blog everyday hoping to see more pctures of your Black Card, Rolex and Trips so i’ll wake-up and do more keyword research and throw in some New Ads, hoping to make some more Bucks.
Then i arrive here and there’s some envious *** tryin to distract the blogs focus.
Again Block Block Block…
Also… Try Selling More Stuff… you’re already saving us so much money giving away free info like this.
PS: Anyway, if you plan on visiting ITALY on one of your mad trips, give me a call, I’ll be waiting.
Rob
I just stumbled across this site. Why the pissed off angry tone in the coments? I liked the kewyword post, that was good.. I just started with Amazon.
In my opinion,
The t-shirts are a novelty thing, it’s not meant to be a huge profit thing.
The feeling of having your own product out there is more worthwhile - personally and financially - than selling other peoples products.
Good luck Amit.
Susan,
A few things,
Why would it matter how much he is making? Or why would it matter what he is making it from?
If you bought Jermey Palmers Book and did not get anything from it. Read it again, then again. If you are still not getting it, you should move on.
No I am not that successful yet. I still need to take it from “the man”. But I will be suucessful one day.
You’re going to have to do more than just read a ebook or long sales copy. Get a PPC account, a clickbank account, a commission junction account, linkshare or share a sale. Sign up for a program. Talk to a Affiliate manager ON THE PHONE and get involved. Set aside some money
even if only 5 dollars a day and write some ads, promote, promote.
And most important read this blog and the blogs mentioned on this site. No one has really ask you for a dime, nor forced you to pay anything. The wisdom here has been given freely. Think about it. To be successful you need to around succesful people. I wish you the best susan. You Can do it!!
God Bless
rec,
thank you for that uplifting message! I have done all the things you mentioned, I just need to figure out how to promote better, as you said.
It is hard. There too many web sites that push the easy way, which there is no such thing. I have myself in the past wasted too much time with these long winded sales copy
web sites. If you do Clickbank, try CBEngine.com. For 10 dollars you can get a three month membership. Basically it is a site helps you sort thru all the clickbank stuff and pick out the good stuff. Youtube.com has some good help videos to, like Brian Johnson of My-Affiliate-Programs.com.
Gee, I hope Amit doesn’t mind me plugging some other sites.
Because you also need to check out http://www.affiliatesummit.com
and watch Amit’s video for free. What it all comes down to is that its hard and will take some investment of money and time. But you have a lot of support on your side and you are in the right place. God Bless.
Amit,
Hey, the email about Derek Beau, really sent me over the
edge! To give me (us) an edge. I stayed on his site for about an hour reading the information you give away more then just about any IM’er that I have ever seen, and you expect nothing in return, unbelievable.
As I watch the internet marking world evolve, the products become more expensive $200 - $300 - $400 dollars, give me a break… please. The products might be worth it, but not for my wallet, during the growing stage . Keep doing this, Great Job!!
Cheers,
Jim Novak
Amit said it only took him four months to figure out this affiliate marketing thing! Although I’m not sure if that includes the prior reading time he put in (does it?) or if the 4 months was the practical part - the actual setting up of websites, ppc, etc, etc.
Once I figure out this keyword issue, I think I’ll do much better.
I would not try comparing time frames with others. Everyone is differant. Given Amit does have a PHD in physics I believe, perhaps somethings were easier for him, maybe. But I bet those 12 hours days he mentioned really were the key. For everyone it has been hard as well, so you’re not alone. Just stay focused and work at it. I’ll bet you’ll be successful in 2 months.
Hi Amit,
Can you recommend using Macros to speed up Excel usage for keywords/feeds and recommend any add-ons you touch on?
Cheers
Lee
hello Amid, i checked out Derek’s site today and to my shock there was a latest update saying that the tool was no longer available for download and was no longer supported.
here is the update:
“Latest Update: This tool is no longer available for download and will no longer be updated or supported. If you have already downloaded it, please delete it and cease using it immediately. An explanation post will follow soon. I am very sorry to anyone who I have inconvenienced or let down.”
Do you know anything about this?
Has the ‘other 500$? tool decided to Hammer down on Derek?
Keep u informed.
Thanks Rob

Source code copyright infringement I bet. I was building something like this but with excel. So since Amit did the same thing, I’m looking forward to seeing his version.
there’s a copy someone uploaded here if anyone is looking for it.
http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/18355/ppc-gen-rar.html
Fortunately Derek released it under the GNU license so it’s freely distributable. I’ll try and put an active copy up on my site for people to use as well.
only way it could be source code infringement is if he reverse engineered the original and took their source code. This is not the case. This is a very simple campaign generation script. These guys at speedPPC are just ripping poeple off. I’ll see what I can do to add more features to it and re-release it as well.
PresRob,
Could you post the link to that news here on this comment section.

Hello ROC, When i checked it out, Derek was yet to announce the reason why… Right now the page has been removed.
Am sure he’s just avoiding trouble.
And to think that the software was really cool. sign…
I myself can not see any reason he should feel pressure from others
if the product is of original design. There are many products out there
which do similiar features. Look at the keyword generation softwares. If other venders are causing him to do this with no good reason than I feel I will not buy from the other venders. I really would rather do it the hard way. Who knows the real reason. I would think a deal has been made somewhere, somehow.
