MUST READ: To update you all on the Chris Menser / AdGrenade fiasco...nothing good has come to light. As an affiliate, you know that Chris moved his affiliate tracking from Steve and Tim's to his own. I knew nothing good would come of this as he would have direct control over how much he wanted to pay, no matter how many sales you had. That being said, my steady income went from "steady" to just about zero for one month, then completely stopped.
But much worse than that occurred. His affiliate tracking site
http://www.phatrock.com is completely down and gone. I haven't been paid a commission since Sept. 2009. No worries though, it's just one affiliate site.
But that's not the main problem we're concerned about. It's our customer base and people who have bought through our link. Over the last months of last year, we have supported all of our customers that had a problem with AdGrenade. From technical to basics, we felt the need to help those who purchased this software through our link. We felt responsible for our website and sure that we did our best to help our customers who were left out in the dark. But now that people can't even get a new registration key from Chris, we will stop supporting AdGrenade and use another program.
Another point to make is: I read another member's post about ppckeywordtoolz.com. I tried to contact the owner via the email listed on the bottom. It came back as undeliverable. Seems like another adgrenade project. I would not recommend purchasing this either. There is no other way to contact the owner on the site...no other links. Bad sign!
I've revised my review of AdGrenade in on my site, you may take a look here:

Marlon and I have moved on and hope that you will too. We can't support a product/person that doesn't support it's users.
So, I would advise all of you who are still on the the band wagon with AdGrenade...to jump off and look for another program to support. It's not longer being supported on a completely different level, it's been abandoned.
On the bright side, if you're still doing adwords, you may want to check in to Facebook advertising...it's proving to be quite lucrative.
