When you have a method that works, why keep looking? ((This is directed at myself, Kelly, not at your question.))

There are RSS mashers, Directory Submitters, blog commenting tools…pligg and scuttle lists to buy…the list goes on, but if a system works, stick with it.

Haha, ya…

@Manny

Hey Manny, I too went by phrase after I had read Google Sniper, however I later found out what you have, that it is NOT a good metric to go by..always go by exact.

@Zeb

You could speculate, but really, who cares? The answer will always be the same:

build more pages,
build more sites,
backlink more..

@Kelly

I’ve actually never heard of it..It’s because I don’t hang around the Warrior Forum and don’t look into what the latest backlinking tool or site building technique is.

Google has now emphasized the shopping results to the left (which used to be at the top) and this makes surfers notice the shopping search option.

It’s still early days but i hope that this won’t affect us SEO’ers much…

Its important to remember that even at position one you will only get ~40% of the people searching the term.

Also, use exact all the time. I made the same mistake.

I have a question on keyword research and accuracy of google keyword data please….I know you now use exact numbers only when determining niches to get into however I have been using phrase up until now and was shocked recently when I took my first look at the exacts on my sites to see some went from like 1000 day phrase to 44 per day exact searches. I am yet to get to the top of google on many but in 1 that did hit #1 for a few days the traffic was way less than expected on those days.

My method to work out expected traffic has been 20% of phrase, but am now thinking I need to work on exact also or exact only. My question is do you get a feeling for the percentage of phrase and/or exact searches that reflects real results when you hit #1. I know there are many variables but roughly.

Thanks and Regards Manny

Nice – would like to see how these submissions pan out for you. I’m a bit of a UAW freak myself… (it’s your fault)

Hey tnx man..

You can’t talk about that kind of stuff as it’s against Adsense TOS..

Nice website, I have been following this site for a while. Congradulations on all your success. I had a quick question, I was wondering on average how many page impressions you get daily for your adsense.

Thanks
