Knowing myself being impatient in waiting for results, I cannot settle with something like AdGooroo. I dismiss the idea of waiting for days before I can actually see results. And upon receiving the reports I got from them, their services don’t seem different that what I can get for free using other tools.

And man, Adgooroo’s system demonstration is a trash! It’s purely marketing in nature without really giving a hint of what I can extract from them. Though at first impression, the choice of words in the demo voice-over is alluring as advertising tips, but if you’ll think deeper, its system demonstration does not really represent the features that AdGooroo has.

At first, Adgooroo sounded to me like a great tool but after reading their FAQs and what one can actually get for $399, I think it’s still not worth the price, because it does not provide bid management and only captures two statistics: coverage and relative rank.

I’m glad that I discover KeywordSpy, it satisfies my hunger for instant PPC keyword results, in just a click I can track all the keywords my competitors are using.

I am only messing around with KeywordSpy for a couple of minutes but I am already pretty impressed. Competition analysis definitely looks different after playing with its cool interface. The pie and scattered summary charts in KeywordSpy delighted me much than the dozen graphs of AdGooroo which are hard to figure out. And the graphical presentation of KeywordSpy does not end there, for I really enjoyed their ClickBank Affiliate Search Engine which helped me manage my keyword lists in promoting products. I am also looking forward with the integration of their Organic Keyword database and Backlink results to drag my sites’ optimization to a skyrocket figure.

Meanwhile, I am wondering why AdGooroo has the balls to rate their monthly subscription for $399! Very pricey for small businesses! I do feel it is costing merchants significant amounts. The only difference is that you get a nice visual of the same data you can obtain using the stupendous database of KeywordSpy, plus the latter even has geo-targeted regional domains for US, South Africa, Canada, Ireland, Australia and Ireland to assist local advertisers..  

Other than going for the $399 subscription of Adgooroo, I'd rather spend the $90 fee to maintain my subscription to KeywordSpy and throw the additional $309/month to my Adwords budget. And that’s the game of practicality plus quality in dealing with KeywordSpy.
