I know when Larry is about to get mad.

I see those "little signs" on his face.

His eyebrows furrowing, the corners of his mouth frowning.

You don't want to be near this New Jersey hothead when he's pissed off. (Trust me - even though his occassional annoydness always comes from a good place.)

Anyway, I saw the signs yesterday.

Larry was about to blow a gasket.

So Larry and I had a "talk" (gesturing quotes in the air here)…

To say this upfront: It's all good now. Larry is happy. No blood vessels blown. No voices raised.

But I had to proactively address his concerns. I knew what this was about, so let me come right out with the result of our little chat:

Beginning some time next week, we won't be able to take on more HexaTrack users, FREE or PRO level, unless we want to risk another server meltdown like last week

I already told you about our upcoming HexaTrack PRO 30-days-for-$1 offer, to go live next week, along with a necessary price rise to $147/mo, to pay for our fancy new server infrastructure.

(We came up with that as a humble peace offering to everyone who thought we had fallen off the planet during our server downtime; as of now you can still get HexaTrack PRO for $47 a month forever, but with a $50 set-up fee.)

Here's the issue: something's gotta give.

Looking at our server stats, Larry noticed yesterday that you've been pounding our servers harder than ever before (especially the keyword & ad spy tool) .

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Lots of folks signed up at the old $47/mo rate in the last couple of days, and when the $1-for-30-days offer is out next week, we expect another rush of PRO signups. So our current offers stand,if you want to learn this new art and science we're calling Pay-Per-Click 2.0 as a PRO member, but…

…after next week, when the $1/$147mo deal is over, we'll have to take a break from accepting new members. For a while. For real.

Larry consulted with Jeffery our development director, and they concluded: we'll have our hands full helping existing members, and we need some time to grow our infrastructure. All existing clients will be fully supported, in fact, even more so, as we can take a break from marketing our tool and really get into helping you.

So here's the updated timeline of what we'll have to do to make our existing members happy:

• Currently: Become a full-fledged PRO 2.0 member at $47 a month (locked in forever) with a $50 set-up fee.
• Next week for 24 hours: Become a PRO 2.0 member at $147 a month (locked in forever), but pay only $1 for the first month.
• Therafter:
  • No more HexaTrack FREE signups (there'll be a waiting list)
  • No more HexaTrack PRO signups (as we'll be busy teaching existing PRO users the way of "PPC 2.0")
  • No more upgrades from FREE to PRO

No more upgrades from FREE to PRO until we re-open?

This deserves some explanation.

Even if you're already a HexaTrack FREE member, your membership status will be "frozen" in FREE mode until we decide to open new PRO memberships up again. None of this means that your account itself will stop working — quite the opposite, you'll get better service from us, whether you're at PRO level or FREE level, now that we're not going to be distracted with marketing to new members.

So, without trying to making this some big deal "high pressure" proposition, you may want to decide this week if HexaTrack PRO 2.0 is for you.

To that end, I filmed a brief video walking you through our new features:

• Support for all affiliate networks, not just the "big 6"
• Keyword tracking for any e-commerce site!
• Tracking your e-mail campaign clickthroughs, opt-in rates, and even conversions

Please post your comments below and let us know what you think…

Again, we're sorry that we have to "freeze" the influx of new HexaTrack memberships as of next week, but I hope you can already see that fewer new members means better features and more individual attention to every customer.

(8,000+ HexaTrack FREE members is a LOT to deal with!)

If you want to participate in the cool stuff that's to come, consider upgrading to HexaTrack PRO now under the old terms ($47 a month with a $50 set-up fee), or wait with your upgrade until the $1 down, $147/mo offer comes live next week (for only 24 hours before we shut the gates).

Oh… and thanks for helping me cool down Larry…

P.S. There's ONE secret  feature that did not make it into this video…

Announcing the HexaTrack International Keyword Spy Tool (HexaTrack PRO 2.0 only)

This is something you asked for.

And when you ask Larry & Amish, you shall receive.

(If your feature request is cool, anyway.)

This feature request is one we really liked so we're paying our coders overtime to get this done by next week.

You will be able to track international ads on Google Adwords in about a week or so. This means when you advertise in regions other than the United States, HexaTrack's Ad Spy Tool will adapt and only pull up competitor's ads in the region(s) you specify.

If you want to find out who advertises on google.hk (Hong Kong) under your keywords, HexaTrack can do it. Or google.de (Germany). Or google.co.uk (United Kingdom). Your choice.

So there… another goodie for PRO users. (Take it or leave it… but if you're an international Google advertiser, you should really get in on this before we close the gates.)
