Hi all...

I'm currently using BidRank to monitor my many listings for my clients. I've grown to question some, or I should say alot of the status' of some of my listings. Sometimes they're just wrong.

Soooo....I'm looking around for new or better software. I'm testing out demos right now (PPC Pro 2002 and Dynamic KewordBid Maximizer). I like the Dynamic one, and it's priced reasonably, but alot of their software has broken english or mispellings. I consider that an important factor later, when I need their support for a problem or question. PPC Pro seems okay, but the interface is a little tough to navigate.

Is their any that you can recommend? Should I just keep BidRank? Help me out here. And thanks in advance.

Hi Todd,
GO TOAST & PPCBidTracker have free trials worth checking out if you're having issues with BidRank.

If the information provided by BidRank isn't accurate, I think you have your answer about whether you should consider switching.

Thanks for the quick reply, Ed.

Yeah, I agree. I figure when I log into my accounts, and half of my bids have fallen out of the "preferred", then it's time for a new program.

Thanks again.

The big problem in the industry right now is that the search engines lose your tracking URLs when they pass them to their third party engines. The industry has a lot of teething to go through yet and I have been working with my software company, and with Google, figuring get the big guy to do it since they also provide the most adwords.

I am curious if other people have noticed the discrepancies between what the SEs report and what you get from your tracking program. It can be fixed by having a separate landing page for each engine and each keyword at that engine.
