Pay Per Click Management Software Reviews

I, Chris Hickman, the founder and co-owner of Silver Scope Promotion have reviewed all the companies below. If you have a pay per click management software and would like it to be reviewed please contact me and I will review your software or if you are listed below and want your review to be updated.

There are many different pay per click management software companies out there and they all claim to be able to make your account management easier and while being more productive. I have been managing pay per click accounts for over 7 years, so I know what it take to make a pay per click account profitable. The main goal I focus on when reviewing software is how quickly and effectively it will get you to a CPA (Cost Per Acquisition). Bottom line is you need to be at a certain CPA to make money, everything else is secondary to the CPA. The reporting, the quality score management, click through rate, ect. Those features are important, but if you are losing money they you are losing money b/c you are not hitting the CPA goal. Everything is important, but the bottom line is which software will do the best job at making you money.

All of the software below just assist in managing the pay per click account, NONE of them will do it for you or even come close. They all have fundamental flaws that keep me from rating any of them high. If your goal is to hit a cost per conversion or cost per sale, then it's better to do it manually b/c none of the software companies listed below will be able to help you hit your CPA goal in reasonable amount of time. The closest ones are Web visible and Clicksweeper, but they work very slowly, so still except to do a lot of the work on your own.

Clickable Review
Review on 9/18/09
5% of ad spend with a minimum of $129 per account.  Clickable pays API costs
(This is saves you money and no extra fees)
 YES  YES NO, There is a feature for this but it does not actually work. They are working on this for the next release. Clickable
Review on 9/18/09
NO, They have an editor but you cannot edit ads, ad group bids for the content network. All you can really do is edit keyword bids.  NO NO YES, For ads with a low click through rate for Quality Score improvement and ads that are losing money. Clickable

Acquisio Review
Review on 9/18/09
$1000 / month PLUS 2% or ad spend PLUS API costs Acquisio DOES NOT pay API, You pay API costs. Expect an extra API charge every month.  YES  NO, it does not alert you so it you forget this could make your stats not accurate. If you are adding a lot of campaigns you will probably for get this one or two times and have inaccurate data. NO, They give you the ability to set bid rules but they only work on search network, NOT the content network. They have been working on this for over three months and it still does not work. Acquisio
Review on 9/18/09
YES, It looks the best But it does not accurately work for mass changes in Yahoo. Ex: Trying to import a Large Google account to Yahoo will not work and editing 1000's of keywords in Yahoo will not work. NO NO NO Acquisio

Clicksweeper Review
Review on 9/18/09
$50 / month PLUS $10 / month per 1000 keywords
The more keywords you have the lower the cost is and there is a discount is you use your own API key.
You can pay API and receive a discount on the monthly cost or Clicksweeper can pay API costs and they will charge you more monthly for software usage.  NO, Only Google and Yahoo  YES YES Clicksweeper
Review on 9/18/09
NO YES NO YES, Only for underperforming ads, it does not look at CTR for Quality Score improvement Clicksweeper
