A couple of days ago I posted my first review of SpeedPPC Pay Per Click Software. I have been busy working with the software quite a bit. One finding is that I will need to be some more powerful hardware. No, the software works fine, but I guess I am putting too much load on my old server here in my basement. The server is an AMD XP1700 CPU based desktop with 768 MB RAM running Windows Server 2003. The server hosts many business applications for me – including File & Print, Keyword Elite, SEO Elite, Affiliate Elite and .. SpeedPPC. Several scheduled tasks are going on within any 24 hour period. Everything is running fine – except that the server performance becomes a bottleneck and slows me down. It takes too freakin’ long to finish some of the tasks and so I think I will have to spend the money on some more powerful hardware.

Now I am always careful with how I spend my money. I have been lazy with my accounting in regards to where I am for the year. While I keep track of cash flow and profit/loss per month, I have been slacking a bit to put it all together for the year. I recently switched to Quicken – Small Business Edition and still have to catch up on entering everything. So, today I spend a lot of time doing my accounting tasks. I hope by tomorrow night I am able to tell how much money I really made this year and how much more I can spend without affecting my business too much. I think I made enough that I have to write a check to Uncle Sam before the end of the year to avoid a tax penalty. I had quite some good deals completed since September and that pushed me further ahead than what I had estimated and so my tax payments might be off a little bit. As mentioned, I am more the careful business person. I’d rather write another check this year and avoid tax penalty and higher quarterly tax payments compared to now. We will know more later this week. The good thing – I signed up for EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System) and can shoot out a payment on fairly short notice electronically.

Coming back to SpeedPPC – I love the software. Every campaign I published (except one) achieved great quality score ratings in Google Adwords. Part of that I definitely give SpeedPPC credit for. The keyword-passing URLs that I employ really work out well. All keywords are embedded into the final URL per keyword and Google seems to love this. I pick up the keyword on the landing page and embed it there as well. So, the landing page updates itself on the fly when a visitor arrives. I know all this can be done manual as well, but the amount of keywords and links I am able to push out with SpeedPPC are making life so much easier and faster – I just love it.

Just a reminder – if you purchase SpeedPPC Pro make sure to do it through my affiliate link. I will honor your purchase through my affiliate link with $100 cash back ($50 for the normal version) into your pocket. Email me at speedppc [@] seoker.com with a copy of your receipt and once the sale is confirmed I will send you $100 via PayPal. If you just want to check it out without going through the affiliate link, here is a non-affiliate link to their page. Edit: This offer is not valid during the lower sales price of SpeedPPC during launch of Version 3. Sorry for the inconvenience.
