Finally! Google has decided to reveal the monthly and yearly searches for every keyword phrase searched on Google.com. I hope there is an API for this so that all the keyword software makers can integrate this into their software as soon as possible.
According to Google AdWords Help Center:
The Approx Search Volume [Previous Month] column shows search volume statistics for the last calendar month. The Approx Avg Search Volume column shows average monthly search volume over a recent 12-month period.
Since Yahoo’s Overture keyword tool is officially dead, this tool is the next best thing at the moment. Google should have done this earlier.

I have not been able to update this blog as much as I want because I am busy updating my 5 other content sites and this site has not been a top priority for me lately. I should try to squeeze in more time for this once I can outsource more of the content creation work.
I am planning to write a guide on how to install Ubuntu Server on an old PC to run the popular AdSpy Pro script without paying a dime on web hosting fees. I spent some time during the weekends to figure out how to get the geeky Linux operating system to work on my 10 year old Pentium 3 500 Mhz, 384 MB SDRAM PC. It’s a 100% pure Linux shell based operating system with no graphical user interface. Very hardcore linux stuff that I have been trying to avoid for a long time.
I hope that AdSpy Pro will be able to run on my Ubuntu Server smoothly. I estimate I would require at least a VPS web host to run this script properly. Running AdSpy Pro on my own Ubuntu Server would be like getting a free dedicated …

It took me a long time to get my Keyword Elite program to work the way I needed it to work because there quite a few bugs in the initial release of the software. Thanks to the great team led my Brad Callen, most of the bugs have been fixed and many new features that the Keyword Elite forum members suggested have been implemented.
The Best Feature of Keyword Elite?
In my opinion, the best feature is the Google AdWords spying tool (Project 5). I don’t think there is anything like this in other keyword research software. From now on, I will let the top Google AdWords advertisers do all the dirty work of finding the best keywords and I will simply copy them for my own campaigns.
The way this keyword spying tool works is by comparing your list of keywords with a list of Google AdWords campaign URLs. How I wish I could simply see every single keyword my competitor is bidding on without doing any keyword research? Sorry, I don’t think that can be done at the moment!
For example you want to look for all …

I have been using Keyword Elite for over a week now and it has been a bittersweet story. I am very impressed with Brad Callen’s customer support and his commitment to making this software the best keyword research tool in the world. Keyword Elite has been updated several times since I purchased it so reviewing it has been difficult because of the bug fixes and new features added in.
I purchased version 34 and now Brad Callen has updated it to version 63. Keyword Elite has been useful for me in the following ways:

To be honest with you, I still cannot get Keyword Elite software to work properly. I have been running 3 different keyword research projects to build a huge keyword list but none of them could complete successfully.
I noticed there were 2 new Keyword Elite software updates today and I have upgraded to the latest version but I am still experiencing the same problems. I set the number of keywords to 5000 as the manual suggested and it just doesn’t complete it’s search.
Hopefully, my current keyword research project will complete its run. The software stalls at a certain point. Each project runs for hours! I can understand why because it pulls data from a lot of different sources other than Overture.com.

I wanted to see what all the Keyword Elite hype was all about. I went to the Keyword Elite pre-launch blog to check out the videos. Boy was I blown away by video number 5!
You see, there isn’t any software out there that can spy on your Google AdWords competitors to this level. You could program Keyword Elite to spy on your competitors daily or multiple times per day if you like. When I say spy, you can actually see which keywords they are bidding on and what ads they are using.
This is great news for anyone who uses Google AdWords to promote affiliate programs. We can now see which keywords our top competitors are consistently bidding on for a period of time so that we can literally “steal” his keywords and ad for our own benefit.
I am still reviewing the software so I can’t give you my full story on this software. From what I can see right now, it is way ahead of all the keyword research software I currently own. Mind you I own 3 keyword research software..

I just registered a new domain name at NameCheap.com. The domain prices at NameCheap.com is $8.88 but if you enter the NameCheap.com coupon code found at this forum topic, you will get a discounted price at only $7.99. That’s the same price as RegisterFly.com.
I’m a bit fed up with RegisterFly.com. They have not refunded me my error charges even after multiple support email requests over a period of 1 week. I had no choice but to issue a chargeback request from my credit card company!
I just realised NameCheap.com also has a free “privacy protection” service when you register a domain. They also have an “instant name server” feature that allows you to add a domain to your web host immediately after purchasing a new domain. Maybe all web domain registrars allow this today? I am not so sure. The last time I purchased a domain at GoDaddy.com and other places, I had to wait 1 or 2 days to get my web domain “attached” to my web host.
I purchase domain names to appear unique when I am promoting affiliate programs in Google AdWords as Google does not allow duplicate domains names in their …

I’ve been using RegisterFly for quite some time now. I like their cheap $6.99 – $7.99 .com and $1.79 – $1.99 .info domain prices with free privacy protection of my personal information.
But lately I have been experiencing some problems with their registration system. It seems like whenever a domain registration is unsuccessful, my credit card still gets charged. In fact, this month I had 5 error charges to my credit card for domain name purchases that screwed up.
It takes a lot of time to report this to the support staff to get this rectified. Sometimes their web site takes a long time to load and in some cases in doesn’t load at all. RegisterFly is now an ICANN accredited registrar and it is registering domains on its own credentials. I think that is why their system is pretty screwed up now. 5 error charges in February 2006 is something new.
I usually purchase .info domains to create landing pages / redirection pages for promoting affiliate programs with Google AdWords. I also have a bunch of .info domains for the building of Google AdSense web sites. The best thing about RegisterFly is that once I purchase my domain name, …

Frank Kern has found an interesting way of reviving some if not all of your disabled keywords that have been disabled by Google in their recent "crackdown".Check out Frank’s video below:http://www.underachievertoolkit.com/google/I just have to say this…. I feel the new quality keyword system by Google AdWords is BS! My keywords are disabled because they do not have "sufficient quality" but raising the bid prices will make it a "quality keyword" once again. Thanks for sugar coating your words Google. The bottom line is you want more money. I hope a lot of Google AdWords advertisers do not buy into this "extortion" and literally force Google to scrap this new money leeching feature of theirs.
