			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-649" title="shoemoney-guide" src="http://www.scriptcritics.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/shoemoney-guide.jpg" alt="shoemoney-guide" width="235" height="140" />This review of the <strong>Jeremy Schoemaker (aka ShoeMoney) 12 Week ShoeMoneyX Internet Marketing Guide</strong>, is actually going to be stretched out for a bit of time! Since the <strong>Free Guide</strong> itself is 12 weeks long, I am going to edit this post weekly, examining the latest weekly installment.</p>
<p>Since Jeremy is considered a leader in the Internet Marketing Industry, I have pretty high expectations from his Free Guide!</p>
<h2>What is the ShoeMoneyX Internet Marketing Guide</h2>
<p>Have you ever wished you had one place you could go to learn how to turn an idea into a successful method of earning a living online? In Jeremy&#8217;s own words&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Jeremy Schoemaker &#8211; ShoeMoney&#8221;</em><br />
I recently decided that there is just too much great information in my book to exclude people from reading it. I have now backed out of my major book deal and turned it into a completely FREE 12 week guide to Internet marketing.</p></blockquote>
<p>Being a regular reader at Jeremy&#8217;s site, I couldn&#8217;t resist the call to sign up and learn from a very successful force in the Internet Marketing Business. Since he is offering this free of charge, the worse case scenario&#8230; means I have to unsubscribe, or opt out of the email only guide.</p>
<h2>Features of the ShoeMoney Guide</h2>
<p>Once you sign up for this free Internet Marketing guide, you can expect each of the topics below to be delivered in the form of an easily downloaded and saved pdf document each week. At least week 1 was! <img src='http://www.scriptcritics.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<ul>
<li>Week 1  &#8211; <a href="#week1">The Beginner&#8217;s Guide To Internet Marketing</a></li>

<li>Week 12 &#8211; Launch Day: How To Kick Start Your Business And Manage Your Projects</li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="week1"></a>Week 1 Guide Review &#8211; 05/23/09</h4>
<p>Once you sign up for the Internet Marketing Guide, you can expect to receive an email from Jeremy, asking you to confirm your request to get email from him. Once you click the link and confirm&#8230; you should get <strong>The Beginner&#8217;s Guide To Internet Marketing</strong>, shortly thereafter.</p>
<p>Week 1 can be summed up in one word&#8230; &#8220;Introduction&#8221;! Personally, I&#8217;m not much on reading multi-page introductions, but the way Jeremy started from scratch and actually made it interesting to read, it was well worth the time it took to read the <strong>11 page</strong> week 1 guide.</p>
<p>You will learn who Jeremy Schoemaker is, his roots, and how he turned a hobby into a multi-million dollar business! On top of learning about the person behind the guide, you will get a very clear preview of the Internet Marketing Industry so you know what to expect, and whether it&#8217;s right for you over the next 11 weeks!</p>
<p>Jeremy answers a series of true or false questions in a very honest and enlightening way, even for those of us who aren&#8217;t new to Internet Marketing. At the end of the guide, he provides us with a clear action plan to prepare for the next installment! I hope each week has a plan like this!</p>
<p>If the week 1 guide did nothing else, it left me wanting week 2 to get here quickly!</p>
<h4><a name="week2"></a>ShoeMoneyX Week 2 Guide Review &#8211; 06/01/09</h4>
<p>Having followed along with the Week 1 guide and taking Jeremy&#8217;s action plan to heart, I was excited when week 2 popped into my inbox on May 30th! Again this week, you receive the ShoeMoneyX IM Guide in the form of a PDF, which makes it very easy to store and read at your own convenience. Week 2 of the ShoeMoneyX Guide is 18 Pages long.</p>
<p>Week 2 is heavy on learning all about affiliate products, websites and affiliate networks, which is good! Even if you think you know all about networks, terminology and how to work with affiliate managers, the guide takes it a step farther and breaks each word, phrase and term, into definitions and how they apply to you. If you don&#8217;t know what &#8220;Scrubbing&#8221; or &#8220;Shaving&#8221; mean in affiliate marketing, you need to sign up now!</p>
<p>Around page 13 of this weeks guide, you start getting into the meat and potatoes of Internet Marketing when you start to learn about 6 proven ways to promote your affiliate offers! Jeremy breaks each of the 6 methods down into brief paragraphs with the details of WHY they work so well! There is also a section that covers the reasons for cloaking affiliate links, as well as several methods you can use to do so!</p>
<p>One thing I really like so far, that has been in both weeks, is the &#8220;Realities&#8221; or &#8220;True &#8211; False&#8221; section, where ShoeMoney answers the hard questions in plain and simple truth.</p>
<p>Week 2&#8242;s Action Plan is where we really start getting down to business, and you get the sense that next week&#8230; you will start putting the methods into action and possibly making our first affiliate sale!</p>
<h4><a name="week3"></a>ShoeMoneyX Week 3 Guide Review &#8211; 06/09/09</h4>
<p>Week three arrived like clockwork, and as Jeremy recommends in his intro email, I DID actually read it twice! <img src='http://www.scriptcritics.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Just like previous versions, it is a pdf, 17 pages long, and contains a very detailed action plan at the end of the guide!</p>
<p>For myself, week 3 really started getting into the meat of internet marketing! This week we start learning about finding our Niche! You start to understand things like competition and keyword research, but you also get a slim picture of what you may possibly earn on your new website! As with previous weeks, there is an abundance of real-world examples and walk throughs to get you up to speed quickly!</p>
<p>I was a bit confused reading this weeks segment, since Jeremy talks quite a bit about researching your niche, when in effect, he recommended in week 1 to go out and register an LLC, and setup your new venture as its own buisiness from day 1.  If I had just dropped $200-$400 to have the LLC registered and in week 3, found out that it was not a worthy market to pursue&#8230; well, you understand. IMHO, the LLC and legal aspect should come AFTER you know if its worthy or not!</p>
<p>All aside, this weeks guide really gets you primed to make an impact in the coming weeks!</p>
<h4><a name="week45"></a>ShoeMoneyX Weeks 4 &amp; 5 Guide Review &#8211; 07/01/09</h4>
<p>Week 4 came around right on time, and I knew it was going to be a hard week. While I have tried my hand at, and often failed at PPC, I have truly looked forward to this week. To my surprise, week 4 turned out to be more than a single week could handle and Jeremy split it into two parts, <strong>Basic PPC Understanding and Strategies</strong> (wk 4) and then <strong>Advanced PPC Techniques</strong> (wk5). For the sake of saving space, I am going to combine the two!</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have a clue what PPC means (Pay Per Click) week 4 will get you up to speed very quickly! From understanding the various acronyms associated with paid search marketing, to the many different places where you can advertise and walkthroughs of the tools you will find at those sites, week 4 is like a bootcamp of paid Internet marketing!</p>
<p>Jeremy really gets down in to the basics of how to setup campaigns, track their performance and yes&#8230; he also gets into the reporting side of it a bit, sharing different examples of measuring success! By the time you are done, the action plan is there to get you even more familiar with everything, since you will be putting it to work in week 5!</p>
<p>Week 5 is where you begin to see it all come together! Jeremy took me through a complete understanding of the science of landing pages! I actually went out and visited a few of my own sites and started experimenting with different page layouts&#8230; While I was not driving PPC to one of the sites I made changes to, the conversion rate on an offer increased by more than 500% &#8211; just by employing one of his strategies and split testing a few layout changes! (No kidding!!)</p>
<p>A common thread you can expect to see from this point forward&#8230; the information Jeremy is sharing is great, but only if you actually use it! Hopefully, you are following along with the weekly action plans, and by now you have a good idea of several methods for putting your ideas into motion!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At some point in your website marketing endeavor, you are going to have to align with an Affiliate or Ad Network in order to find Advertisers looking for related websites to promote their products. The <strong>PepperJam Network</strong> (PJN)  has taken the underlying functions of running an Internet Advertising Network to a new level!</p>
<p>From a Publisher / Affiliate standpoint&#8230; I can say that PJN has a wide selection of both advertiser offers and site tools, that are bound to work for just about everyone! From eBay listings to CPA to contextual ads&#8230; you are bound to find something that just &#8220;works&#8221; for your own sites!</p>
<h2>Features of The PepperJam Network</h2>
<p>When Kris Jones decided he was going to create a better choice for both website Publishers and Advertisers, he drew from his own experience, and what he found was lacking in the marketplace. The result, was a very well rounded for everyone, that has since grown into the <strong>#1 Affiliate Marketing Network</strong>, as measured by Inc 500!</p>
<p>What can you expect to find in The PepperJam Network?</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hundreds of Advertisers, Eager to Partner with Publishers!</strong><br />
One of the things I personally find refreshing, are the sheer number of advertisers in the network! To a Publisher, it means I can fill almost all my needs in one central location, versus having to join many different networks to supply content on multiple websites!</li>
<li><strong>Useful Creative Tools to make Publishing Easier!</strong><br />
PepperJam not only brings in top Advertisers, they provide unique creative tools to make publishing those ads easier! From contextual ads, to banners, and product feeds, they have a very well rounded selection of methods you can use to integrate ads into your content.</li>
<li><strong>Reliable Payment and Communication with Managers</strong><br />
The Pepperjam Network pays its Affiliates every 2 weeks once they reach the payment threshold. For Super Affiliates who generate higher volume through the system, they will work on a one to one basis, and do whatever is needed to make sure the Publisher can focus on whats most important, driving sales, versus having the think about managing his relationship with the network!</li>
</ul>
<p>There are far too many features of the PJN for us to list in this simple review! I encourage everyone to join the Pepperjam Netowrk and see for yourself!</p>
<h2>Pros and Cons of The PepperJam Network</h2>
<div id="procon">

</ul>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quality <strong>One Way link building</strong> for myself, is one of the hardest things I have to do for my sites&#8230; well, it used to be anyway! Lets all face it&#8230; link development is a time consuming pain in the ass, and regardless of how good your content is, if people don&#8217;t link to it you will rarely gain authority in search engines! Linkvana entered a risky game, since Google has more or less set a target on anyone who buys links to increase pagerank&#8230; but the way I see it, when you use Linkvana to build site authority, you aren&#8217;t actually buying backlinks&#8230; You are paying for a service that locates related blogs and gets your mini articles posted! Heck, you even have 95% control over the types of blogs AND the content that gets posted!</p>
<p>The result is that your posts appear on popular, well indexed blogs, and become relevant resources for their own readers! As a side benefit, most of those blogs carry authority , pagerank, and deep indexing in all major search engines, which brings your own site up the ladder as well!</p>
<p>In the end, regardless of how I or anyone looks at it, the Linkvana system will be considered buying links by the likes of search engine authorities&#8230; so you have to weigh that into your decision process, but keep in mind&#8230; it works, very well!! I have used Linkvana to promote several different sites and the difference is VERY noticeable within the first 30-45 days of the posts going live!</p>
<h2>Features of Linkvana</h2>
<p><strong>Easy to Use Central Dashboard</strong></p>
<p>As soon as you get into the administration dashboard of Linkvana, you will have no problems at all figuring out where you need to go! Some of the other link builders I have used in the past are very confusing and require a degree in web browsing to figure out where you need to go to get started! Linkvana has very few choices and each of them is very specific and easy to understand!</p>
<p><strong>Detailed Training Videos to Get you Started</strong></p>
<p>Although the system is super easy to use, the support team at Linkvana has still gone out of the way to create a series of How-To videos for using their system! The videos cover everything from navigating the website, adding your projects, and building your content posts for your sites!</p>
<p><strong>Unlimited Projects &amp; Posts Per Project!</strong></p>
<p>From the dashboard, you enter your Linkvana projects or websites that you wish to promote! There are not 75 questions about your site and honestly, I think discretion was one of the main goals within the system! If you have only 1 website you want to promote, just enter the info and build as many mini posts as you want! If, on the other hand, if you have 100 websites to promote, you have the benefit of listing and building an unlimited number of projects and posts within the system, at no additional cost!</p>
<p><strong>No Spammy MFA Sites Allowed!</strong></p>
<p>One of the biggest drawbacks to using a service to market your site for you, is that everyone with a spam farm eventually joins in and degrades the service! With Linkvana, they review 100% of ALL projects to be sure they lead to higher quality websites that contain unique content, versus spam or made for adsense sites.</p>
<p><strong>Single Monthly Fee!</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about anyone else, but I am a budget person! I work best knowing what I am going to spend every month on different services and make sure I get the most of them after I have paid! Linkvana operates with a single price for everyone who uses the service! Most of you may shy away from the $150/month fee, but I can tell you first hand that time is money&#8230; and Linkvana will save you MANY hours of time every month, making the system worth much more than the monthly fee!</p>
<p><strong>Mini Posts or Full Articles &#8211; Your Choice!</strong></p>
<p>One of the major benefits to article marketing through Linkvana is that you don&#8217;t have to spend all day writing articles! Linkvana allows articles, or mini posts, as short as 100 characters! On some of the sites I tested this on, I could crank out 25-30 mini posts in less than 1 hour! Keep in mind, copy/paste does not work and ALL of your submitted content must be 100% unique to you!</p>
<p><strong>Outsourcing Made Easy!</strong></p>
<p>If you are like myself, you find a way to delegate tasks to those who do it better! Within the Linkvana system, you can simply click a button within your project, and order as MANY posts as you want for $2 each! Heck, last month, they awarded recurring member credits to users and allowed them to use them to buy content articles for no extra cost! How can you beat that? You provide the keywords and page you want promoted &#8211; they write and post the content for $2 each!</p>
<h2>Pros and Cons of Linkvana</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the beginning of March, 2009, Michelle MacPhearson launched a new membership site called <span>Crowd Mountain. </span>I am a huge fan of Michelle.  She mentored me under her mentor training program, and the information I learned from her was excellent.</p>
<p>As soon as I heard about Crowd Mountain I became a member and couldn’t wait for the site to become available.  I am happy to say that my expectations, which were very high as I already know what Michelle is capable of, were not only met, but exceeded.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<p>The purpose of Crowd Mountain is to train members in all facets of online business building. Michelle has created an Internet bootcamp, which is the first thing new members will have access to.  Michelle has created 6 different bootcamp training modules:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Niche the Niche</strong>: how to properly do research before creating a new website.  Members have access to a 17 page workbook that you can download and print, and six training videos.</li>
<li><strong>Optimize for Size</strong>: how to build and SEO (Search Engine Optimize) optimize a website for earning money.  Members have access to a downloadable workbook, automatic affiliate profit generating and SEO enhancer plugin,and  five downloadable website themes that are already SEO optimized and good for any niche.</li>
<li><strong>Content Architecture</strong>: how to decide what kind of content to add to your site and how to to publish it.  Members have access to information on what type of content Google loves, a custom-tweaked plugin to make finding and publishing that content as easy as a few mouse clicks, and a private plugin Michelle had built just for Crowd Mountain that will make building your site around a set of long-tail keywords super simple.</li>
<li><strong>Monetization Station</strong>: how to make money with your niche site with advertising, affiliate programs, or your own stuff.</li>
<li><strong>Search Engine Assault</strong>: what you need to do to get Google to love your site and send organic traffic your way.</li>
<li><strong>Power Networking</strong>: how to use social networking to become an authority in your site’s topic.</li>
</ul>
<p>The above list is just a sample of what Crowd Mountain members have access to.  The rest you can read on the Crowd Mountain website.</p>
<h2>What do I think of Crowd Mountain?</h2>
<p>At this time, I have only seen and viewed the tutorials found in modules one, Niche the Niche, and two, Optimize for Size.  This is because Michelle is releasing one module per week, to prevent confusion and information overload.  Since the site is just a little over a week old (as of this writing), these are the only modules available.  So, this Crowd Mountain review is based on two things: the two modules I&#8217;ve already seen, and my previous experience of Michelle&#8217;s training from my time spent with her as my mentor.</p>
<p>Regarding the two modules I have seen, they are outstanding.  Contained in the first module are not one, but three, training videos detailing how to do keyword research.  The three videos cover three different niches (one niche per video), so viewers get a very good idea of how to do keyword research.</p>
<p>The second module is all about how to properly set up a new WordPress blog so that it is SEO&#8217;d right from the beginning. Michelle details how to install and setup the plugins she considers most important for site SEO.  I was familiar with some of the plugins, but, after watching her videos for them, realized I had been using them incorrectly.  So, even in an area that I thought I knew, I learned something.</p>
<p>One of my favorite tools, which is exclusive to Crowd Mountain members, is the task manager.  Michelle had this program custom made just for this site.  The Task Manager software keeps track of what has and hasn&#8217;t been done on every website you enter into it.  Most tasks are ones created by Michelle, but users can add their own tasks if they like to do things that Michelle doesn&#8217;t include.  This makes it fully customizable to each member&#8217;s wants or needs.  I am loving this program!</p>
<p>There is also a Snooper program: &#8220;<em>The Snooper was made to look inside Google’s algorithm and literally SEE what link building and social media sites Google likes the most. Those are the sites to focus on – if they’re already in favor, </em><strong><em>piggyback your own sites on them</em></strong><em> for quick ranking.</em>&#8221;  Is it truly as powerful as Michelle claims?  Yes!  Is it really easy to use?  Yes!</p>
<h2>Pros and Cons of Crowd Mountain</h2>
<div id="procon">
<div id="proconl">
<h4>Pros of Crowd Mountain</h4>
<ul>
<li>Access to highly detailed training videos, that cover just about all aspects of building sites</li>
<li>Access to the Task Manager, to keep track of what needs to be done on your sites</li>
<li>Access to The Snooper, to know in minutes where to go to promote link building</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="proconr">
<h4>Cons of Crowd Mountain</h4>
<ul>
<li>None (I cannot come up with a single con for this program)</li>
</ul>

</div>
<h2>About the Developer</h2>
<p>According to Michelle, &#8220;<em>I focus on integrating “Web 2.0? technology &#8211; that is, the hip, new, cool stuff all the kids are using &#8211; into my marketing, as well as teaching others how to do the same. I believe the internet is turning more and more towards user-created content and grassroots movements.</em></p>
<p><em>One of my favorite things to learn about is a new, neat website with some Web 2.0 usefulness integrated into it &#8211; and my first questions is, “How do I use this for marketing?</em>”</p>
<h2>Cost and Licensing of Crowd Mountain</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Membership Cost: $47 per month</strong></li>
<li>Cost includes access to modules (one per week), the Task Manager, WordPress blog plugins, the Snooper (an awesome tool!) and anything else Michelle adds to the site!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Special Bonus for Pioneer Members</h2>
<p>For those who join within the first six weeks of the site&#8217;s launch, you will have the unique opportunity to submit questions to Michelle for each module&#8217;s live Q&amp;A, typically held on the Friday after that module&#8217;s introduction.  There is only one Q&amp;A session per module, so don&#8217;t miss this opportunity to ask Michelle anything relating that week&#8217;s module.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">As stated on the Crowd Mountain website, &#8220;</span><span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><em>As a pioneer Crowd Mountain member, you’ll actually be able to attend the live session and ask your own, personal questions about the material and get answers directly from me.  Late comers will only get the recorded Q&amp;A and will not be able to ask their personal questions</em>.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-weight: normal;">I participated in the Q&amp;A for Module One (as of this writing, it is the only Q&amp;A session that has been completed).  It was an excellent training session.  Those who were not able to participate will be able to listen to the call, and I am sure that it will be beneficial to just about all who listen to it.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">Visit Crowd Mountain and decide if it is right for you.  I can honestly say that everything Michelle promises will be delivered, and then some.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot Link Cloaker is an excellent url cloaker script.  The primary use for this cloaker script is to use it to hide affiliate links.  If you want to know how to hide URL addresses, then this script is for you.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<p>The benefit of cloaking affiliate links is to prevent people from stealing your affiliate commissions.  You may be wondering how?  Hide URL addresses using this script, which is very simple to install and setup.</p>
<p>You will need to setup a mysql database to use this program.  This is easy to do from your site&#8217;s cPanel.</p>
<p>All upgrades are available at no additional cost.  I have been a user of Hot Link Cloaker since 2006 and can honestly say that the upgrades made available have been excellent, and have added to the value of this cloaker script.</p>
<p>There have been a few times when I have needed to contact Support for Hot Link Cloaker.  My questions were answered in a timely manner, by the author of this software, Jamie Ratliff.  Jamie was very professional, and I sincerely appreciated the time he took to assist me until my questions were completely answered.</p>
<p>One really great feature that was recently added is the ability to see how often a link is clicked.  This is great because it allows you to track how well your affiliate campaigns are doing.  If you see that no one is clicking, then you can modify your text/link and see if clicks increase.  Or, you can see how many people are clicking an converting to sales.  If you have no idea how many people are clicking, then you have no way of knowing if you need to improve your campaigns.</p>
<p>When visitors click one of your cloaked links, they will not be able to see that the link is an affiliate URL.  There is a live demo for you to try, and I highly recommend that you do, so you get a feel for how this works.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been looking for an easy and flexible way to populate your WordPress posts (or pages) with eBay Auctions related to your content, the <strong>phpBay pro wordpress plugin</strong> is your answer! After a 5 minute plugin installation, phpBay works by simply clicking on an extra button within your wordpress editor. As you write your post, you click the new button, add your keywords and the number of results you want to show in your post, and they appear! You have the ability to add the listings ANYWHERE within the content of your post and as many listings as you want!</p>
<p>Having used <a title="Build a Niche Store review" href="http://www.scriptcritics.com/2008/build-a-niche-store-review/">Build a Niche Store</a> for several years and many sites, I was somewhat skeptical about changing to a new method of tapping into eBay Auction Listings. phpBay Pro was quick to exceed my expectations!</p>
<h2>phpBay Pro Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Adds eBay Auction listings to your posts and pages easily! Even on existing blogs.</li>
<li>All auction listings are 100% html content, so you get an instant influx of contextual and targeted content to your site!</li>
<li>Horizontal or vertical layout of listings.</li>
<li>Choose from 17 Different Countries in the eBay Auction system.</li>
<li>Choose to items from a specific category or all categories!</li>
<li>Ability to GeoTarget listings, based on zip codes. This comes in very handy if you want to add listings to a local City site.</li>
<li>Unlimited License to use on as many sites as you own!</li>
</ul>
<p>For a power user like myself, the best features of <strong>phpbay pro</strong> lie in the ability to very easily modify the way the listings look on my websites. The listings use a built in template system, NO, not a full template, just a very basic template to control the listing portion alone. If you want to rearrange the way the listings look, it only takes a few minutes to customize the listing template and achieve the look you are after.</p>
<h2>Pros and Cons of PhpBay Pro</h2>
<div id="procon">
<div id="proconl">
<h4>Pros of phpBay Pro</h4>
<ul>
<li>One license is good for unlimited websites!</li>
<li>MANY options for SEO, free ship items, and other customization.</li>
<li>Top Shelf support forum!</li>
<li>Quick and easy to add to ANY WordPress website!</li>
<li>Encourages the creation of content first, then compliments your content with relative listings.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="proconr">
<h4>Cons of phpBay</h4>
<ul>
<li>Its very easy to create a thin site if not careful!</li>
</ul>

<h2>About the Developers of phpBay</h2>
<p>While I do not know Wade personally, I have been in several forum discussions that he partipated in. He is not new to the world of website design or affiliate marketing and phpBay Pro is an example of building the perfect mousetrap, to suit the needs of the community! Wade is always quick to respond to requests for help and the forum he has put together is a great resource for both the phpbay plugin and general web development knowledge as a whole.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Micro Niche Finder 3 (the current version) is a keyword research tool.  It allows you to see what variations of a word or phrase people are searching for on Internet search engines.  This is important if you want to maximize the potential traffic to a website or the page of a website.</p>
<p>Keyword research is one of the most important factors in bringing visitors to a site.  It you target (i.e. use) keywords that no one is searching for, then people are highly unlikely to find your site.  If, however, you know what words and phrases people are searching for, then you can target those keywords on your site, and increase your chances of increasing the number of visitors your site receives.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<p>Unlike other, more costly, keyword search tools, There is only a one-time cost associated with Micro Niche Finder.  After that, all keyword searches are free.  Micro Niche Finder even includes all future upgrades, major or minor, at no additional cost.  That is an increasingly rare occurrence among software programs these days.</p>
<p>I have used both Micro Niche Finder and WordTracker.  While WordTracker will provide users with more results, it is more difficult and confusing to use, not to mention considerably more expensive.  I&#8217;ve been very happy with the results I get with Micro Niche Finder.</p>
<p>This tool will save any searches you want saved.  This can is a great feature, should you want to revisit any previous searches.</p>
<p>One of the most powerful aspects of this tool is &#8220;Strength of Competition,&#8221; or SOC, feature.  When you use SOC you will be able to see how many other sites are competing for that particular keyword or phrase.  This is important because there is no point wasting your time on a keyword that already has a lot of competition.  Additionally, this is a great way to find keywords that have little to no competition, almost guaranteeing you traffic for that keyword (please know that no one can actually guarantee traffic, but this comes close).</p>
<p>The only disappointing feature is that this tool does not search on brand names.  For example, if you search for the word &#8220;ipod,&#8221; then you will see results that are related to MP3 players, not on on ipods themselves.</p>
<p>When you visit the website for this tool you will have to sign up for five free videos before you get to the sales page.  The videos provide excellent information, especially given that they are free.  They are worth watching.</p>
<p>You will get four free bonuses with this tool.  I usually don&#8217;t care about bonuses, and admit that I&#8217;ve only read one of them (the Squidoo one), but I was very impressed with it.  The free Squidoo bonus was almost as informative as a PDF I recently bought.  My guess is that the other three bonuses are also quality items.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Caffeinated Content plugin is a WordPress blog plugin that allows users to pull content into their blogs based on whatever keywords users choose to use.  I have been using this plugin for quite a few months and I am LOVING it!  This Caffeinated Content review is all positive, as this plugin is one of the most useful WordPress plugins I use.</p>
<p>Let me say upfront that you can do everything this plugin does on your own.  You can go to Yahoo Answers, YouTube, or article directories to get content related to your blog.  Where this plugin won me over was by how much time it saves me doing those things, and, it keeps track of what has been added to your site.</p>
<p>It can be very easy to use this plugin incorrectly.  To get the most value from the content you add, you will need to rewrite it.  Otherwise, you risk having duplicate content on your site, which will devalue your site in the eyes of search engines.  But if you take the few minutes needed to rewrite the content, you will be able to add more information relating to your site&#8217;s niche than you thought was available.  It is truly a powerful plugin!</p>
<h2>Caffeinated Content Features</h2>
<p>After you activate the Caffeinated Content plugin, you will have the ability to add content to your blog from Yahoo Answers, YouTube, and article directories.  If there are comments on an imported item, such as questions from Yahoo Answers, you can even have those comments added to your own blog as comments on the post you create.</p>
<p>Additionally, each post you create with Caffienated Content includes a thumbnail image relating to the post.  This is wonderful if you like having images on your blogs, as I do.  Of course, if you don&#8217;t want or like the image, you can easily delete it.</p>
<p>Everything you import with this plugin can be edited or customized.  If you want to automatically post each item, you can do that.  If you want to save the items as drafts for future editing, you can do that.  There is even more you can do, as this is just a sampling of the flexibility of this plugin.</p>
<p>Caffeinated Content keeps track of what it imports from each site it uses.  This is one of the best features of this tool.  This means you won&#8217;t use duplicate information.  If you do what this plugin does on your own, then it will be very easy to duplicate your efforts.  If you choose to keep track of what you&#8217;ve researched then you will need to create a fairly complicated method of tracking.  With this plugin, you don&#8217;t need to do anything.  It tracks things for you with no effort on your part!</p>
<p>Be aware that Yahoo Answers requires sites that use their content to show the wording &#8221;Powered by Yahoo! Answers&#8221; somewhere on the sites.  The plugin does not do this for you, so you will need to add it somewhere.  The footer is probably the best place to do this.</p>
