Cash Flow Funnel
Have you heard about the Cash Flow Funnel course being released in just a few days? This is one of the first courses in a while that I have been dumbfounded by… in a good way. I can hardly sleep at night since hearing about this course. You would be “dumb” not to check it out.
Head over to Cash Flow Funnel Review to see what all the hoopla is about.
An Excellent Keyword Tool - “Keyword Expert” 4/5
Review of Keyword Expert - 4/5 Stars
Recently I purchased a copy of Keyword Expert to use for a couple of key functions including my keyword research. So far, I have been very pleased with this product, as it saves me the time and computer resources of having to have multiple keyword tools open at once as I work on my daily online activities.
First things first, Keyword Expert is somewhat of an all in one keyword tool, having 6 easily navigable tabs, each with its own useful function.
The first tab is the keyword suggestion tool. This tool works very well and displays many very useful pieces of information about the keywords that it finds and returns. The information it displays includes searches per month, number of google ads, number of search results for the keyword and a ratio of number of google ads to searches per month. This last piece of information is very useful for determining good keywords for your ppc campaigns.
The second tab is super useful for anyone who is familiar with Campaign Blasting or has ever been interested in trying it out, or just does a lot of PPC in general. It is a useful Adwords tool called Keyword Transformer which has a number of great features for improving your keyword lists. The keyword transformer automaticcaly adds the brackets and quotations for phrase and exact matching keywords. The wrapper will also remove spaces between words, automatically generate mispellings and generate every possible keyword permutation. It is an amazing tool for Adwords and will speed up the process of creating your keyword lists a ton. If you were to buy this tool alone, it would run you $60.
The third tab is what I like to call the “Hot Stuff” tab, labeled as Popular Keywords. All you do is click it once, and it will pull the most searched for words and phrases from 5 high traffic sources. This is a great one click way to find out what is hot right now. If you are into trend marketing, you will love this feature.
The fourth tab is a keyword organizer in which you can add some of your favorite keywords that you use in your sales copy or adwords ads. These are usually keywords that evoke emotion or action. Keyword Expert comes with a small list already in this section for you to start with. This tool is well put together as it can be categorized in a directory tree type of format, which is super helpful.
The fifth tab is a website analyzer which analyzes the backlinks to any website you would like.Enter the website you would like to analyze and one click later you will know the page rank, the number of backlinks in Google, Yahoo and MSN, the number of indexed pags and a few more pieces of great information. The results can also be exported with one click.
The sixth tab is a built in adwords editor. I do not really use this feature honestly since Google offers a standalone Adwords Editor which has many more features. But it may be something you want to play around with.
Overall, I think it this is a pretty cool keyword tool that will save you a lot of time and a lot of money from buying seperate tools for each function that this tool is capable of. It is a big time saver by having all of these functions in one easy to use program. The look and operation of the program is very nice. It is easy to use and familiarize yourself with, making it a great tool for those not as technically apt.
On the down side, sometimes the keyword suggestion tool takes longer than I would like to complete a keyword search, but I think this is common with many other keyword tools. As long as it returns useful results, I am happy…. and it does.
I highly recommend checking this out if you are looking for a powerful all in one keyword tool

Big Dumb Action on Big Dumb Idea #2
Just wanted to give an update that I decided to take some action on the local directory idea. I have hired a programmer to create a custom local directory script for me. I have chosen a large city and decided to aim the directory at bars and taverns. I know there is an abundance of bars and taverns in this city, and I was able to get a pretty good domain name for the directory.
It will take some time for the script to be coded, but I will try to update how the idea is progressing here from time to time. I would love to hear if any others are thinking of pursuing this idea. Perhaps we could share some ideas.
Keep an eye out for updates on how that goes.
Until next time, The Big Dumb Marketer, Signing out!
