Hey there,

I ask you do please not go around sharing the news below just yet as part of this will be in a news release.

Your comments below could win you a one-year free Platinum account for giving your opinion about the hot news below so make sure to read every word and check things out fully.

So let’s cut to the chase, Google gave up the goods and the search count numbers and now Google Keyword Cruncher and the 1-Click LSI tool powered by Google will have estimated search counts instead of graph bars.

Isn’t that awesome?  I’d love to hear your thoughts below because we were celebrating in the office here all the way to Romania. 

Also, I’ve got even more exciting news.

In a matter of DAYS, NicheBOT X will be able to extract from your competitors their keywords from Google organic listings or Google PPC listings.  Here is a sample of what you will be able to do.  You will have a $49.95 like subscription in your NicheBOT X account without doing a single thing.

Whatever they tell you…

It’s a lie!

NicheBOT has not been de-commissioned!

See, I got misunderstood again in something I said in an email.

NicheBOT is not shutting down at all, and in fact, is no longer even going to be considered the best keyword tool.

I guess instead of saying that NicheBOT was being de-commissioned as a “tool” – I should have said that it was really being upgraded to a “Suite” and currently the only one of its kind. 

You’ll understand what I mean below with just one of the upgrades and you’ll discover how you can be one of the first to find out the new site that is launching next week and how you can get a peak before the general public does (one of the many benefits of being on our subscriber mailing list to receive The Keyword Informer).

We’ll talk about that throughout this important article.

First, allow me to give you a little background here so you truly understand the circumstances of how the show ties in together so you can truly visualize this crystal clear.

Now, just so you know me a lot better, I was perfectly happy to watch my weekly CSI Las Vegas programs on CBS as my “cool down” for the day.  

I don’t have much time to watch the boob tube, because (1) I believe it grabs a hold of a person’s mind and debilitates it after prolonged use (anyone who has witnessed their own child even after a few hours of television understands); and (2) there are just so many other wonderful things to be doing out there in the world rather than have to rely on other to supply my entertainment and stimulation.

So anyways, with my time spared, I have time to maybe watch two or three shows throughout the year, period!  And I do not take easily to accepting new shows.

We all love to be stealth and this issue is guaranteed to be just that.

If you’re a niche marketer or a trend marketer of any type with various content sites, then you really want to soak this up and make it a part of your consciousness.

Should you run a regular ecommerce site, affiliate site, content site or whatever you do, then this little reading could expand your marketing perspective and how to be an “aware” niche marketer and how to be always on the lookout for opportunities that can advance you.

First, let’s take a step back.

Back a while ago, I published an issue of TKI that discussed how unsubscribing from email lists you are signed up to was not necessarily a great idea and how you can get great examples from others in your industry of (1) how to properly do email marketing and (2) how not to do email marketing.  (Instead of getting pissed off at other people’s marketing maneuvers, why not just take it as a queue of how you don’t want to be in your own busines.) 

Now, why am I sharing this with you and how does it relate here?

The point I made in that article was to not get offended when people attempt to market to you through email, but rather, view it as a “marketing lesson” and try to understand what the website owner is trying to accomplish.

And most importantly, it has to be very closely related to keyword research and hit directly on point.

And of course — I need it (the product or service) in my hand to review it fully to give my candid opinion.

I don’t just go on blind faith.

So does Stomping the Search Engines 2 and the new print publication (The Net Effect) live up to earth shattering since I create a video about it? Let’s find out.

Back about 45 days ago, I was aware (teased) about the fact that a project was in production that would be an update to the original SEO course called Stomping the Search Engines released by Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon.

This is the sequel.

1. Quick Overview of Google’s Release of Search Count Data

Ah, the bees are buzzing (much as are the people are in forums)…

Summer is here, and…

Bloggers are blogging on and on about the terrific news that Google has released actual search volume numbers and replaced the old green bar graphs that gave an approximate search volume on Google’s Keyword External Tool.

The switch was impulsive — and it was out of thin air — and very unsuspecting.

I truly believe it caught a LOT of people off guard (especially those in the keyword research community).

Late-breaking Keyword Informer Update

============================================

All of a sudden – there is NO longer ANY confusion about how many times people are searching for a certain keyword phrase on Google.com.

This just spotted on Google’s External Keyword Tool as follows:

Holy cow — can you see it?

Now — rather than the old view which showed those green bar graphs under ALL THREE columns, shockingly, there are actual search count figures for specific keywords.Like say, for instance, I look above at the screenshot and I can see that 9,900 people are searching for “blogging software” in June with an ongoing average of 12,100. And interestingly, there are 135,000 people looking for a “radio blog” with an ongoing average of 110,000.

By Google’s own definition, the “Previous Month’s Search Volume” column “shows the previous month’s search volume on Google for each keyword, specific to your targeted country and language.” The “Avg. Search Volume” column “shows the average monthly search volume on Google for each keyword over a recent 12-month period, specific to your targeted country and language. ” The shaded bar to the left remains unchanged as before which shows general low-to-high volume of how competitive ad placement is for a particular keyword.”

Let me ask you an honest question. (And I’m not really just asking passively because I want to know your true answer in the comments section below.)

Are you getting really, truly intimate with your website visitors?

“Getting intimate with visitors to my website Jim… say what?!”

I know, I know — it’s not what you think.

This isn’t about asking anyone out for dinner, engaging in deep conversation or even getting physical.

In fact, once you do what I’m about to discuss with you — your website will become way more sticky (appealing) and you’ll begin to develop an army of serious fans (perhaps even fanatics) that bookmark your site, check back more often to see what you have to say and even sign up on an update/newsletter list (the ultimate way to engage and stimulating visitors to return to your site).
