Here are my favorite Keyword Research tools at the moment which are rarely talked about…
Keyword Research: Microsoft adCenter Labs :: http:/
Keyword Forecast :: http:/
This tool forecasts the impression count and predicts demographic distributions of keywords. Before launching your SEO or SEM campaign, get forecasts of search volume and demographic predictions for your selected keywords.
Entity Association Graph :: http:/
This tool provides a graphic view of the associations between entities by mining the co-occurrences of entities in search queries or search sessions. Such associations will be useful when creating query suggestions or analyzing user search patterns.
Keyword Group Detection :: http:/
Based on keywords that a user enters, this tool helps to find the groups of words from the pool of online queries that are related or similar to the keywords entered by the user. This keyword research tool also detects common misspellings of keywords entered, which can help merchants to include commonly misspelled keywords when bidding for lists of keywords.
Keyword Mutation Detection :: http:/
This tool displays common misspellings or alternative spellings of keywords that a user enters that are frequently found in search query logs. The process of finding mutations is based on the technology found in keyword group detection.
Search Funnels :: http:/
Customers often perform searches by typing related keywords in specific sequences. This tool helps in visualizing and analyzing the customers’ search sequences. For example, you can learn how many people search for BMW and then search for Mercedes Benz, Audi, and other automobiles.

I was just doing some research and put together a list of resources to keep your ear to the ground of the Twitter Hot Trends pulse…
Twitter Search :: Twitter Search
The simplest way to see trends on Twitter is on their official search page. Hot trends on Twitter appear on the search page and on the Twitter homepage, and clicking any will bring up a feed of the public conversation.
Twithority :: twithority (twithority) on Twitter
Twithority is an easy way to have the most recent Twitter trends tweeted to you. The links provide a view of Twitter trends based on both time and “authority.”
TweetingTrends :: Tweeting Trends (TweetingTrends) on Twitter
TweetingTrends is an even simpler way to keep up with Twitter Trends. Links go directly to Twitter Search.
Twitter PowerSearch :: PowerSearch (PowerSearch) on Twitter
PowerSearch not only tweets about emerging trends, but daily and weekly trends that you may have missed out on.
Twitter gtrend :: gtrend (gtrend) on Twitter
gtrend is short for “Google Trend.” It updates users on the most recent trends within Google Search. Follow this account to know about trends across the wider web. No, this doesn’t track Twitter trends, but it’s a great way to compare trends.
Trendistic :: http:/
See trends in Twitter.
Twitcsoop – Stay on top of Twitter :: Twitscoop – Stay on top of twitter! – Search twitter, twitter client, hot trends
Twitscoop, search twitter, see what’s hot right now.

Somewhere in all the hype about making money with no work Internet Marketers are finding out there there actually IS a lot of work involved. Unfortunately, many are also finding that parking at a computer for long hours at a time will cause more to become fat than just their wallet. With just one little tweak of the lfiestyle, though, marketers will find that the online lifestyle can actually be a very healthy one after all. By building a lifestyle around two very simple principles the marketer can go a long way to improving not only their bottoms, but their bottom lines as well.
Studies on weight have revealed that those who control their weight and metabolisms the best and most easily are not those who are involved with torturous fitness programs, although programs do help some. Those who best maintain their health are those who move the most generally during the average day. While that is not good news to those trapped in offices behind desks, it's fabulous news for the independent Internet marketer because they are free to add all the movement they want to their daily schedule without the boss's laborious threats to quit "goofing off". If only those bosses used some sharps for more than wagging their tongues! Perhaps they just don't realize why the classes they took to acquire their J.O.B.s were only 50 minute sessions.
Educational systems have long founded class schedules on 50 minute sessions or, alternatively, two hour sessions with a 10 minute break after 50 minutes. The reason for this class structure is that the human brain is best suited for concentrating in 50 minute intervals. If concentration is forced after that amount of time, many aspects of focus and creativity can suffer. As your own boss, you are free to give yourself these needed ten minute breaks. What you do on these breaks can determine your body's ability to maintain a normal metabolism and fat burning process.
Instead of just "changing channels" and moving to a new project, game, or surfing for that vital ten minutes, get out of your chair and go outside. Take a walk around the block or, if you hate walking, grab the bike and ride around the block. You might feel more like doing a simple stretching routine on one or two of your breaks. The difference you will feel when sitting back down to your work will be phenomenal. By taking your breaks outside you will also find the added benefit of providing your body with sunlight in doses small enough that you don't need to worry about damaging skin by burning. Sunshine is vital to your health as it is the only truly natural and reliable source of vitamin D3, which is also acts as a very needed hormone. Defiencies of this element can cause major attention defficets that you really do not need when trying to stay creative, not to mention many serious illnesses including eleven forms of cancer and even complete malicious syndromes.
One added benefit of the moving sunshine break is that it will free your mind to do some free association. There is no accident in the fact that one of the world's most widely known thinkers was called the "walking prophet". Increasing blood circulation to the brain is extremely conducive to excellerating thought processes. What you might have spent hours attempting to achieve through focus can often be acquired somewhat automatically when you allow your attention to drift and let your mind do its calculating on its own terms. When we consciously continue focusing on an difficult issue, we sometimes add input that serves to confound rather than to clear difficulties. Once your mind has been given its task, it will continue calculating the issue without need of your further input. Ideas which seem to strike from out of nowhere, actually are merely ideas which once caught your interest and have taken time for your brain to connect properly. There are no means to speed that process consciously, but a nice zap of fresh blood circulating oxygen to the process can be just the power boost your neurons are begging for.
As an internet marketer it is your privilige to be able to give yourself a lifestyle that is conducive to maintaining optimal weight control. It seems more than slightly ironic to exchange a life of being chained to a job at the office for one that just chains you to a computer at home. In fact, if you only walk from your bed to your computer to work, you might find that the activity of preparing for and getting to work actually provided more vital movement necessary for weight control and concentration than your self inflicted work-at-home lifestyle is giving you. Isn't it nice to know your independence is providing you with the choice?

I've been doing this IM thing now for over 7 years and it's a blast. But every once in a while, I sit down and think to myself, "Why am I having so much fun?"
Is it the money?
Is it the challenge?
Is it simply not having to go to a JOB?
Well, it's a little of all that but the truth is, the main reason this is such a blast for me is because of my thing.
My thing is writing. I've been writing my whole life. I don't remember the last day I didn't write something, whether it was an article, a song, a play, a novel, a short story, a screenplay or whatever. I love to write.
And wouldn't you know it...writing is a big part of IM if you really take a look at it. Think of all the ways that writing comes into play.
PPC ads
Articles
Sales Letters
Autoresponder Series
Ebooks
I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. Writing is such a big part of this business that without it, you're really limited to what you can do. Sure, if you got the bucks, you could just outsource everything and sit back and watch the money come in.
But what fun is that?
Having said that, not everybody who really enjoys IM loves to write. Some people have other things that make it enjoyable for them. Have you ever sat down and thought about what YOUR thing is?
Why do you love doing this? DO you love doing this? Or is this just another paycheck for you?
Some people, sadly, only do this for the money and hate every minute of it. If you ask me, there are easier ways to make a buck, but that's just my opinion.
Anyway, here's what I want you to do if you're reading this blog post. Sit down and list all the things you love about IM. See if you can find out what YOUR thing is.
Then...figure out how you can turn that thing into even more profit. If it's something that's already contributing to your income, maybe there is a way that you can increase that profit by doing MORE of that thing.
Let's face it...if we're doing something we love, there's more of a chance that we're going to get something out of it if we do MORE of it.
Make sense?
So go on...what's YOUR thing?
I think I'm going to go listen to an Isely Brothers tune right about now.

It absolutely BOGGLES my mind how stupid some people can be.
Just today, somebody over at a forum (I won't mention the name) started a thread on how to make an easy $200 to $400 everyday flipping articles. Forget about the fact that there are so many pitfalls involved with this business model, it turns out...when all is said and done...that this person NEVER even tried this model. They just heard it was good from somebody else.
Can you say DUMBASS?
There are many ways to be irresponsible, but IMO, this is one of the worst. It's bad enough when we give advice on "limited" testing, but when we give advice because "John Doe" says it works, that's like telling somebody that you heard that if you stand in a mine field and whistle the Star Spangled Banner, you can walk out without getting blown up.
And the stupidity doesn't stop. I see people giving advice on the most ridiculous things, like purposely breaking the TOS of a site because, as they put it, "They'll never know."
Or how about this one? "Go take somebody else's sales page, download it, and then replace the links with your own product." That's right...steal somebody's salescopy WORD FOR WORD. And of course this also applies to ebooks, articles or anything else you can get your hands on. I mean why not? Everybody else is doing it so why not you?
If it were up to me, all these idiots would be banned from the Internet and steralized so that they couldn't have children.
Ah but if we didn't have idiots in the world, the smart folks wouldn't stand out from the crowd.
So, if you want to be a successful Internet marketer, don't be a dumbass.
Be smart.
To YOUR Success,
Steven Wagenheim
Check out my blog where I have over 1,400 articles on marketing. It's a 6 figure education for absolutely nothing. That way YOU can be smart instead of a dumbass. You can find my blog at http:/

Hello, TM Friends!
In the beginning was the word ...
Wait. That's a different story. But really, MY web biz marketing story begins with the word, too. I debated what exactly to write in this first TM Blog post without sounding too enthusiastically commercial, which I can sometimes be ... because I get excited about the things I promote. So, I decided to start with a bit of an introduction, followed by how I ended up here at Telekinetic Marketing.
Years ago — DECADES ago — I became enamoured with those ads in comic books promising extra money to kids by selling garden seeds to family and friends. I never followed through, but the marketing bug had bitten and as an adult, I got involved in home-based mail order marketing.
Working from my kitchen table, I began selling "reports" and promoting money-making programs. I soon realized that the marketers who made the most money were those who could successfully sell products and services of interest to OTHER home-based business marketers.
I've always been interested in writing, so I started up an "adsheet." That's where you print your ads and ads from other marketers on paper, then mail copies to your list. You might also send copies to your advertisers to mail to their lists.
My little adsheet eventually developed into an 80-page publication that included ads, articles, marketer profiles and more. The publication produced very little revenue and was very expensive to snailmail (a few thousand copies) worldwide! Eventually I discontinued the publication.
Point of note: I was producing this publication with no training or experience and this was before computers! I typed the text on a typewriter, cut and pasted text, graphics and everything by hand and sent it to a commercial printer to print. My only regret is that I didn't keep doing it once computer technology and desktop printing caught up to me. Image where I could have been today?
Wow. This post is too long already. (That boy can talk!) I'll close for now. Tomorrow: The Evolution of Marketing: Network Marketing (also known as MLM).
GT :)

Well, I just joined this community today and that makes me a newbie. Kind of funny for a guy who has been marketing for over 7 years online. But it does got to illustrate a point.
No matter how experienced you are and no matter how long you have done something, there is going to be a time when you are new at something. When the day comes that you have all the world's knowledge in your head, please let me know. I'll nominate you for God.
Point is, if you're going to grow as a marketer, as well as a person, you need to always be open to learning new things and even unlearning some things that might not work anymore. Some of the stuff that I did a few years ago just doesn't cut mustard these days and I've had to scrap it.
The Internet evolves as well as marketing itself. If things stayed the same, we'd still see MFA sites raking in the bucks. Instead, they've been sandboxed by Google. I remember when they were big and you had all this great software that could crank out all this crap in seconds.
Yeah...those days are gone folks.
Anyway, I am looking forward to contributing to this community in my small way.
Even though I am a newb.
To YOUR Success,
Steven Wagenheim

Okay everyone - Game over. We're done.
First off - I qualified this but some people at the WF didn't get it.
I wasn't ticked off at James at all - I was having fun. So for those of you who thought something was wrong.....Nope. Not at all.
I bought a link WSO from him while he was down getting some upgrades finished. I put a URL up that was really time sensitive so I had to get it moving right away. My tech put my WP back online at that time and I was able to kick that url up to page one. It was an easy fix.....but purely because of the niche itself.....not because of any particular wit or talent on my part. It wouldn't have been so fricked easy for that one either if the wp hadn't gone live when it did.....but I didn't know when I gave him the URL in my order that it would be live either.
Okay - so now I had a few things figured out and started working on my other URLS which are going to take major efforts - there was NO WAY that James or anyone could have blown those on my order specs like I did with the first one. .... and some people might have caught the joke and gotten a few laughs, but it seems like some people missed the point.
Anyway.........James..You did a spectacular job and I will not hesitate to use your services again in the future. Thanks for your work. It was way above board and I will recommend you to anyone in here who should ask.
And Jared - no charge for the advertisement for TM.
LOL - well, this was fun. Now what?

Combatting spam can be tiresome but it has to be done. But before you report someone for spamming , I recommend that you check who the real sender is of any email message that you receive and always view the full header of the message, then copy the IP address that appears there.
Next, visit a Whois - IP Address - Domain Name Lookup service,and paste the IP address into the search. How interesting, eh?
FYI, many spammers use foreign IP addresses from countries all over the world, but mainly Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America. These criminals make legitimate marketers look bad. In some extreme cases, domains can get blacklisted because of their marketing tactics.
Domain owners who are victims of spammers and email spoofers, can now have some idea of where these emails originate from, and most times a server's abuse support email address is listed in the whois record. Use that email address and forward any email message that you get that you think is obvious spam.
When you become aware that your domain is being used to send spoof emails, notify your host right away. Issue a public statement on your website so that people you deal with online are aware of what's going on and can whitelist your domain.
It's always a good idea to whitelist the email addresses of those people who you trust online, and use your own discretion when dealing with people you don't know. Remember too, that sometimes people who spam could be people who are new to the Internet and don't know that what they are doing is wrong. But there are those who know full well what they are doing and prey on innocent people.
The internet is filled with great opportunities, endless information, but one must always take as much security precautions as possible to have a safe experience online.
Have a terrific day!
all the best,
