The one Adwords resource no serious online marketer should be without...

I've been meaning to comment publically on this resource for some time, as it is without doubt one of the most valuable resources for discovering anything and everything to do with Google Adwords campaigns that I've yet discovered.

I know a thing or two about keyword research and Adwords myself (he said modestly - but I did after all write the Keyword Master's Course). But the collective comments, wisdom and experience of the hundreds of Adwords Professionals in this little corner of the web are a nugget of pure gold.

And something else.

I'm not an affiliate - and I get no reward for recommending them.

So who are they?

It's called Adword Mentor and it is a subscription forum run by Chris Carpenter and Jeremy Wilson. It's well worth it, because the users share genuine insights and experience about their collective experience - and it's always up to date as the forum is a lightning rod for discovering changes at Google.

Highly recommended.

FindWhat and Espotting Rebrand to become Miva

The new kid on the PPC block has just been unveiled as Miva.com - a combination of FindWhat, Espotting and Comet Systems.

What this means for KA users is that we'll have to do another
update shortly to accommodate Miva and KA will not return the
old FindWhat results in the interim.

Watch this space and we'll let you know when it's done....

OK - That's now fixed as well. Just follow the download link for the
Google Update and it's been incorporated there.

Google Update

You may or may not have noticed strange things going on with Google recently.

It's affected some of our users (thankfully, relatively few) and we've been working on an update to address it. I strongly suggest that you download the update even if you have not had any problems with Google searching.

The update is now ready to go and should solve any current problems, provided of course that Google doesn't change its programming.

Essentially, Keywords Analyzer now makes far fewer calls to get the same information than it did before, so this should mitigate the IP being logged, and if it is, you have an option now to paste in the image code, restoring normal access.

You can download the Google Update here. (Remember, before you do it, to save your registration key as you will need it to get the update to function)

Safe Keyword Research - steering clear of Search Engine Problems

Over the last few months, search engines, notably
Overture and Google have begin restricting IP's or possibly
even banning IP's of users querying their data with
automated tools.

I've written a free report called Safe Searching, dealing
with the various strategies you can use to stay on the right
side of the search engines.

It's a PDF file, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat reader to read it.

Corey Rudl Leaves the Stage...

It was shocking to hear of the passing of Corey
Rudl. He was an inspiration to millions around
the world and was a true pioneer in internet marketing.

Corey Rudl was the first to make it clear that anyone
could be successful in online marketing and provided
the guidance to help them do it.

His passing was far too early, but if there is any consolation,
it is that he achieved more in his short life than the vast majority of us would achieve in ten lifetimes.

My deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues.
