Does Affiliate Elite Live Up To The Hype?
Yes, there’s a whole ton of hype surrounding Affiliate Elite right now… which just so happens to be launch day. 
Why is that? Well, besides the usual “Internet Marketing Launch Hoopla” ™, there’s actually a very good product underneath.
I’ve been reviewing the software and there were many times I was left wondering, “How did they do that?”
For example, Affiliate Elite can show you all the people promoting a particular Clickbank (or PayDotCom) merchant. How powerful (and valuable) is that information? Exactly. You can see, and contact, all their super affiliates!
Another example… Affiliate Elite can show you all the keywords an advertiser is using to promote a product using Google Adwords. How powerful (and valuable) is that information? Exactly. You can duplicate their campaigns. (shhhh!)
A third example… Affiliate Elite lets you browse the entire Clickbank (or PayDotCom) marketplace, with full statistics so that you can pick a product to promote with the highest profit potential. Again, it’s very valuable information.
So, let’s pull it all together. Say you pick a product (”Super Duper Registry Cleaner”) to promote as an affiliate, based on the stats from the Clickbank marketplace. You can then find out who’s promoting that domain name via Adwords and dig out all their keywords!
Alternatively, if you have a competing product, you could dig out all the Clickbank affiliates for “Super Duper Registry Cleaner” and try to get them to sell your product instead.
When you pull all that information together, you can use it to make sales… and it could be done very quickly too. I can only imagine the power of Affiliate Elite with something like SpeedPPC. Wow. That’d be fun to test.

yup, you’re right (as usual), it may be one heck of a launch, but for a very good reason, affelite really does rock.
I’ve been playing with my copy for the last hour or so and there are so many ways I can see this helping my business.

I believe this is the best products from Brad. As I purchased his earlier product Keyword elite.
Advertising on dwords without smart tools is loosing money. I hope this is going to change the way affiliate can try on adwords.

I haven’t picked up my copy of this yet but I’d be very interested to know how much it cost Brad to develop this software and how many copies he will need to sell before being in profit.
It’s not the sort of thing you could just throw together yourself…you’d need some pretty serious programmers to do it for you..
Looks amazing though…

Yes, but Brad probably already had the programming team in place from SEO Elite and Keyword Elite.
That would help.

True! Actually looking at Brads videos of AE and then comparing them to KE and SEO Elite they look as though they’re built on the same sort of platform so maybe he didn’t have to invest all that much. Clever chap all the same!

Sorry, not tying to spam here…. but Neil, doesn’t your ‘Internet Success Spider’ use the same type of technology?

Thank Neil for these hoards of posts.
I have something to say about the benefits of affiliate elite you’d just highlighted above. But don’t you think that some smart programmer can come up with ideas to blog user of affiliate elite from carrying out those functions of affiliate elites.
I mean, don’t you think it is possible to block you from using affiliate elite to spy on my Adwords campaign and so on?
I will like to hear from you and others on this

Yes. If your Adwords campaign doesn’t point to the domain where you’re selling the product, I don’t think Affiliate Elite would know about it.
Affiliate Elite takes the domain name of the site selling the product, then looks for Adwords pointing to the domain.

Yup, got my copy of AE. Still studying it and all the overview video training.
Since Callen has such a good track record of producing solid tools, I think it is high time somebody produced a case study of practical uses.
Like his other 2 products (KE and SEO) the interface is similar and just as mind boggling to the user.
Nevertheless, I would be willing to bet that a savvy marketer could sell a heap of AE if a few case studies were included.
