			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Affiliate Espionage was a phenomenal tool a few months back, which helped the user track advertising trends amongst competitors in Google Adwords.  It provided research on search trends, money spent on campaigns, and which campaigns worked, so the user wasn't throwing money out the door.  It assisted with the tried and true test, test, test method of spending money on Adwords.  Alas, Affiliate Espionage has closed it's doors and development on the FireFox plugin has come to a hault.</p>
<blockquote><p>It's been a looonnggg time since I last sent out an email to you<br />
but a lot has been going on and unfortunately as a result I have<br />
some bad news to share with you today.</p>
<p>With much thought and struggle, I have decided to close down<br />
Affiliate Espionage.</p>
<p>It has been a fun ride and the feedback and response to AE has<br />
been fantastic over the past 18 months but things have reached a<br />
point where I had to decide which direction to take my business<br />
and focus my efforts and I did not feel I would be able to<br />
provide the support, service and time required to do justice to<br />
the Affiliate Espionage Software while tackling the major<br />
project I will be working on this year.</p>
<p>Effective March 1st 2010, Affiliate Espionage will be taken off<br />
the market.</p>
<p>All existing customers will still have full access to the<br />
Member's only Site indefinitely to access all software, videos,<br />
and manuals.</p>
<p>There may be occasional software updates but there is no<br />
timetable or schedule (or promise of) these updates.</p>
<p>This has not been an easy decision especially since this project<br />
has been part of my life for well over 2 years now.  I<br />
appreciate your support and understanding.</p>
<p>You can still contact our support desk until March 5, 2010 to<br />
address any questions or concerns you may have.</p></blockquote>
<p>So, it looks like it's back to studying trends  the old fashion way and spend lots o pennies on testing Adword Campaigns.  But that's ok, because everything the Affiliate Espionage Plugin did can be done on your own manually, just takes a little bit longer.</p>
