Thanks for the resource, Ryan. I've been pondering how to do this lately, as I like to send my clients updates in PDF form instead of HTML so they don't have the temptation to start making changes before I'm finished. Cheers!

I can capture any region of a web page... or capture an entire sales letter. It's one of my favorite tools. I also learned of a new site called PDFmyURL.com. This is a free tool that lets you PDF any web page. Works like a charm -- except it will leave blank spaces in the PDF where any videos are in the sales letter. But that's not a big deal.

You can save the entire page instead of just snips, if you want.

The theory being if that copy doesn't change over a long period of time and the someone keeps paying to promote the advertisement, it's more likely to be profitable. I like collecting screenshots because it's easier to breeze through dozens of headlines quickly to get ideas. And I count on the <a href="http://www.copyoracle.com" rel="nofollow">Copy Oracle</a> software to help verify the quality of the headlines I write based on my swipe file. Hopefully that's a good system. Yes, you’re right :)

Bookmarking is a great idea. And if the page disappears or the ad copy changes, then they probably weren't that profitable for the original seller. Maybe your original method of bookmarking the pages would produce the highest quality swipe file. Thank you for another great post.
