PPC Kahuna Review: PPC Tools Compared
Thursday
Apr 16, 2009
I have purchased and used PPC Kahuna, PPC Classroom 2.0, and Commission Blueprint now over the last 6 Months and have tested all 3. The most recent being PPC Kahuna, the new PPC membership site by the creators of Traffic Kahuna.
I was coaxed into trying PPC Kahuna after I posted a few comments about my negative experience with Traffic Kahuna on the Warrior Forum. I was offered a Free One Month Trial of PPC Kahuna to see how it stacked up against PPC Classroom and Commission Blueprint. I am a current member of PPC Classroom and have been one since October 2008. I purchased Commission Blueprint when it was first released and I value both programs and think they are very complimentary to each other. I will get into the specifics shortly.
I didn’t like Traffic Kahuna, the much heralded traffic and SEO generating program. I didn’t like it because it didn’t have a lot of automation to it. It was very expensive for a monthly “limited” membership and I felt that members of that service were being ripped off. I still think SENuke is the single best SEO and traffic generating software membership package you can buy, bar none, but I digress. Let’s talk about PPC Kahuna.
I wasn’t thrilled with trying PPC Kahuna initially, based on my above stated experience with Jason Katzenback’s Traffic Kahuna. Jason convinced me to try PPC Kahuna and asked me to write an unbiased review on it. I decided to take it a step further and compare it to a few other PPC Tools that I value.
As I said previously, I have been an active member of PPC Classroom since it released it’s 2.0 version in October. PPC Classroom has a few keyword tools and some nice bonuses which include a One Month Free trial of Speed PPC, which is an must have program if you are serious about getting into Pay Per Click Advertising. The membership is an actual series of classes with tests at the end of each module. After you finish the classes, the main reason to stay with the membership is the continual Webinars and Case Studies which showcase multiple techniques for using not just Google Adwords, but other Pay Per Click Services as well. The PPC instruction is fairly basic, but it needs to be if it is catering to everyone. The benefits lie in the added and very constant webinars and case studies as I mentioned previously. As with all of the programs listed here, this one focuses primarily on making money via PPC with Clickbank.
Commission Blueprint is a value added PPC instructional tool. It is a little more advanced and not a program for complete novices. It teaches a single technique for making money with PPC and Clickbank. It is very well structured and it is laid out in a very organized manner. This was the first PPC instrucitonal program I had ever purchased and I had some immediate success with the technique. I wrote a few reviews here about it. I still use quite a bit of the technique I learned with Commission Blueprint, but it has morphed with other things I have learned since. The main thing to recognize with Commission Blueprint is that you will pay one price for this product. No monthly fee is required and it is a great and highly recommended PPC product. It also provided me with a technique for building Landing Sites that I still use. The reason I say Landing Sites as opposed to Landing Pages, is because I believe Landing Sites are the only way to have real success with PPC versus just having a few Landing Pages.
PPC Kahuna on the other hand does focus on creating Landing Sites, which is the first thing that caught my eye when I began going through the material. The videos are very well done and I believe they have even gone back and redone a few of the videos to make them better. Much like Commission Blueprint, PPC Kahuna has a very specific technique they teach in their training modules for doing PPC (again) with Clickbank products. It is a very solid technique, but that is not the strength of PPC Kahuna. The strength of PPC Kahuna lies in the base PPC Kahuna keyword research software. The software will help you immediately find if specific keywords are profitable ones by telling you their click to conversion ratio. This is a monsterous help when doing PPC. Commission Blueprint has something like this, called Market Samurai, but you have to pay extra for it. Market Samurai and PPC Kahuna’s keyword software are very much alike, the main difference being that with PPC Kahuna, you have to pay a monthly fee to keep using it and Market Samurai, you pay once and it is yours. PPC Classroom has a few keyword research tools they promote, like Traffic Travis and Hexatrack, but you have to buy these tools separately. PPC Kahuna also gives you Traffic Travis as part of the membership. PPC Kahuna’s suite of tools is pretty impressive and I love the user friendly interface.
Overall, when you compare the 3 programs, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. As a complete beginner, PPC Classroom is where I would start with a month or two of the membership. It depends how fast you digest the material. If you are on a tight budget and want to see if you can take PPC to the next level, I would recommend buying Commission Blueprint/ Ad Grenade (which is a Speed PPC knockoff)/ and Market Samurai. Ultimately though, if you want to take your PPC and Clickbank money making to the next level, you want all the tools and software in one location, and a solid technique for making money with PPC and Clickbank; PPC Kahuna is one of the best memberships for doing that.
Even though I didn’t like Traffic Kahuna, I am a firm believer in PPC Kahuna.
