What’s Next With GC Detective?

Filed under: General GoogleCash News — chris at 11:45 am on Tuesday, June 5, 2007

Wow!  I appreciate the overwhelming interest that we received for the Google Cash Detective yesterday.  It was very refreshing to see such a large response to a project that has been so long in development.

Currently, we are rapidly adjusting to the unexpected demand and have made significant improvements to handle the incredible response.  For example, this morning we have added 3 full time staff members who will be assisting with downloads, installations, and technical support.

We have received very helpful feedback from customers, and we are making adjustments to serve them better.  Additionally, we still have two full time staff members who are focused on the business building applications of the software and who will be able to help you as you start to use the Detective.

For those of you who were able to purchase yesterday, congratulations, and I humbly apologize for anything less than a perfect experience.  Honestly, we were not prepared to deliver to the scale of interest that we received yesterday.  Having more than doubled our staff in 24 hours, we are doing everything we can to catch up.

I am extremely grateful that so many people understand the power of this tool.  I am aware that many people could not get their orders through.  In particular, I apologize to customers from Australia and the UK where we seemed to have a number of processing problems.

I had no idea that we would sell out so quickly.  I thought it would take several days.  People were ready at noon, and our servers were at absolute capacity.  At one point for nearly half an hour, I couldn’t even login myself.  I’ve never seen that happen.

There were lots of surprises for me yesterday.  That is just the nature of the new world that we live in.  Please don’t be discouraged if you were unable to purchase.  We will respect the waiting list and will contact you when space becomes available.

For those of you who have emailed asking when we will release more copies of the Google Cash Detective, please be patient as we must wait until we are sure that we have properly taken care of our current customers.

I am absolutely committed to achieving the highest level of customer satisfaction that is humanly possible.

Because customer satisfaction is so important to me, we will delay selling more copies of the Google Cash Detective until we have satisfied our current customers and are prepared to deal with a rapid response like the one we saw yesterday.

Please be assured that when we are ready to sell another limited quantity of the Google Cash Detective, we will proceed in a way that is fair to everyone.

Thank for your continued interest in the Google Cash Detective.

Sincerely,

Chris Carpenter

GC Detective Sales are Limited to 500 Copies

Filed under: General GoogleCash News — chris at 9:25 am on Monday, June 4, 2007

The Google Cash Detective will be available starting today, Monday, June 4th at 12 noon Central time for one week or 500 copies sold.

As we neared the release date for the Google Cash Detective, we received some thoughtful feedback suggesting that we might be changing the PPC Industry too fast for its own good.

After much deliberation, however, we are certain that this type of competitive intelligence is the future of PPC marketing.  With the information that the Detective makes available, best practices will soon be even better.  We feel that there is nothing to be afraid of as affiliate marketing opportunities are expanding every day.

But, to be absolutely sure that we don’t ruin this for everyone, we are going to limit the availability of the Detective to 500 Copies or 1 week, whichever comes first.

The Google Cash Detective is worth many times more than what we are charging, and we are going to limit sales in order to protect that value for those who purchase it.

We want to make sure that those who purchase the Detective will be getting more than their money’s worth.  To protect your investment, we want to see how this new technology affects the industry before we release too many copies.

Again, the Detective will be available at this price for 1 week or 500 copies, whichever comes first.

You can be sure that in exactly 1 week, there will be no more Detectives for sale.  In fact, this could happen faster. 

We are going to play this safe and try to protect everyone’s interests.  We aren’t going to rush this.  We will stop selling the Detective after 500 copies and observe the effects that the Detective is having on the industry.

Don’t miss your opportunity.  Join the Revolution today!

Sincerely,

Chris Carpenter

Hurricane Hits - Questions Answered

Filed under: General GoogleCash News — chris at 11:15 am on Saturday, June 2, 2007

Thanks again for submitting your questions and comments! In this blog post, I am going to answer several of them.

As most of you know, I live down in southern Mexico on the beach, twenty minutes from the nearest town.

Hurricane Barbara, touched down yesterday and knocked out our power.

The power is still out, but I’m back online! I went to town (driving through torrential downpour, frightening winds, and near zero visibility) and borrowed a generator from a friend to power my satellite internet connection and my laptop.

As if the launch wasn’t enough excitement, Mother Nature decided to pitch in a little too.

Thankfully, I’m back online now - full systems go! Wooohooo!

So, here I answer some great questions that I recently received:

1. Is the Google Cash Detective easy to install? Can a beginner install it?

The Google Cash Detective is simple to install, and a beginner can install it. It can literally be installed in 5 minutes. You follow a short video that shows you step by step how to do it. You can pause the video while you execute the steps and then continue.

We also offer a free install for those who would rather have someone else do it for them.

2. With the Google Cash Detective monitoring so many Google ads, could this eventually trigger some type of a ban from Google?

The Google Cash Detective uses a proprietary method of querying Google which to this date has never resulted in a single ban on any of our servers or beta tester’s servers.

For the last several months, I have been monitoring thousands of keywords several times per day from all kinds of different servers – dedicated servers and shared servers like iPowerWeb, and GoDaddy. Also, we’ve had many beta testers monitoring thousands of keywords per day on hosts like hostmonster.com that cost $4.95 per month.

In the entire time that Google Cash Detective has been monitoring these keywords, Google has never banned any of our IP addresses or URLs.

Also, to use the Detective, you do not have to go through captchas - those little annoying pop-ups that come up in some programs and ask you to type a series of letters or numbers in a box to continue. There are no captchas with the Google Cash Detective!

3. Are there any extra costs associated with getting click data or cost per click data from Google?

Google Cash Detective comes with an optional feature for collecting click data. Specifically, click data is the number of clicks per day that a keyword receives and the cost per click for the number 1 and 3 positions.

The Detective works with or without the click data. The cost is around 5 cents per keyword. At any time, you can enable or disable that feature. I only use that feature about once per month, and I find it to be a valuable add on.

Also, you don’t need a Google API for the Google Cash Detective.

4. Will this software keep working as things change with the Internet?

The Google Cash Detective will be updated for a long time to come and will adjust to the latest Internet developments. We already have several new features in the works for version 2.0, and The Google Cash Detective will be the flagship of our Google Cash Software Suite.

5. Is the Google Cash Detective software hosted by you, or do we host it?

We do not host the Google Cash Detective Software. The Google Cash Detective installs on any hosted web server. You can install it in just a few minutes, or we offer free installation if you prefer.
It can be installed on any hosted web server like godaddy, ipowerweb, hostmonster, etc.
Some similar products to Google Cash Detective host their software on their servers, and you login to their server. All of your keywords and data lives on their servers and they have access to it. They could take a peek at your data if they wanted to.

With the Google Cash Detective, only you have access to your data. You install the software on any webhost of your choice and you own the data.
6. Will training cost extra?

No. Everything is included. There are training videos that you access from inside the software. And all of the training is included. Also, we’ll be adding more training videos going forward.

The software is a one time fee. That includes free installation, free updates and free support from a full-time staff in a dedicated web conference room. It also includes all of the training videos.

So that’s it for now. Keep posting your comments and questions on my blog and have your keyword lists ready. The revolution begins Monday.

To your success!

Chris Carpenter
