Just curious, that’s all I use.

In any event, I’ve cut and pasted your comments into my growing collection of useful SEO tactics. Definitely appreciated!

And I know that then when your setting up snipers its best to have the exact keyword as the domain name, its just easier this way. if the .com .net or .org is not available then just move on, if you add words to the keyworded domain it just makes things harder to rank for that keyword, just my experience.

Ok so here it goes, I start with MSN adcenter, it will cost you $5 bucks to become an advertiser but its worth it because you get access to their keyword tool…you may ask why do I use MSN adcenter? Because the go0gle keyword tool is not always accurate. its works well but I want to make sure the keyword is getting searched enough in multiple search engines to be profitable. I figure that if its getting searches in MSN then its almost a sure thing its getting search on go0gle. Plus MSN keyword tool gives different suggestions then go0gle KW tool which will help find keywords that are less competitive since no one knows they exist because sometimes certain keywords wont show up in go0gle KW.

So what I look for when typing a keyword in MSN is that it gets at least 200 searches a month then I take the keyword and paste into go0gle KW tool and if its getting at least 2,500 searches a month [exact searches] then i check the comp in quotes in go0gle. if its under 500k then more than likely ill be on the page 1 or page 2 pretty quickly. i know the comp doesnt matter that much but just as long as its not in the millions when typed in with quotes then it seems to be fine, again just my experience.

Sometimes you will come across keywords that get high searches in MSN and very lil on go0le and vice versa. I tend to stay away from these even if the domain is available. I look for keywords that get searches in MSN AND go0gle and it seems to be working out pretty good that way. Hope this helps anyone struggling with keyword research.

Go for it..

Ya James, I mentioned that to you before, don’t go with the default 50/day…if you do you’ll be through all your links in no time and when those 50/day stop, Google will sense something is up and throw your site way back for a week or two..
You may bounce back higher, but there is also a chance you may not, so best to let it build gradually at around 10-15/day.

Thanks! It usually sinks in after the 2-3rd memo… (:/

Thanks JR, ya, the increase in money is due to an increase in search engine rankings, the referral traffic is almost non-existent. When I check where my traffic is coming from, the vast majority of it (usually 85%+) is from Google..the rest from other search engines, referral sites are usually last.

Hey Dee, 10/day is fine, I’ve been putting mine at 15/day as of late…

Hell no…that would suck. I don’t have to do anything to keep my current income, everything I do now is to GROW my income further..
