In this video I
'm going to show you a great
way to get better keywords out of the Google Adwords Keyword tool if you haven't seen the previous video you'll want to watch that video where I show you how to get better search volume numbers from both google adwords as well as some other sources to get better estimates for the amount of times that keyword
is searched each month i'll put a link in the video here so that you can click that video if you haven't seen that yet let
's get started now if you want better results from the Google Adwords Keyword planner you have to work a little differently than everyone else so most people come to the Google Adwords Keyword planner and they simply click
on this search for new keywords using a phrase, website, or category and then they just paste a bunch of keywords into this text box so let
's say as an example that these
were our starting keywords ok so let
's say we have the keywords «fishing tips» «fishing tackle» «fishing for bass» «fishing rod» and «fishing reel» what most people do
is that they would simply come here and they would copy this they would paste it into this field and they would hit Search and they would get back their results and that
's fine but one little tip that will help you get much better results
is only paste in one key word at a time so instead of pasting all these in just paste in the single keyword «fishing tips» and then proceed from there to pull that those results up and you'll get this back if you click right here you can download the ideas you'll notice they
're 701 here listed so if we download these ideas will download them to a CSV file comma separated value file you can open that with notepad you can open it with excel open office when you
're finished putting all your ideas and individually you will now have a bunch of different common separate value files containing the keywords and the search volume I've already gone ahead and done that just to save time
on the video but i want to show you what happens when you use this method versus just pasting in the keywords
like most people do so here you'll see this column here represents these two columns here represent if we had pasted in all of the keywords at once and click search at google adwords keyword tool
is one that showed you and you'll see we have a total of 706 results we got back when we did that this column this column here represents what happens when we paste one key word at a time and then download the file paste the second keyword download the file and then we just simply grab those terms and copy them and you'll see now we have a total of 1,915 keywords now what I've done with the highlighting here
is to show you anything that
's not highlighted in this column
is a keyword we would not have gotten back had we pasted in all the keywords at once you can see there
's lots and lots of keywords here we would not have seen
know your competitors and the company
's you
're competing against they
're using probably the simple method just pasting a bunch of keywords sitting search and then looking through those terms to find their terms if you will take the extra few minutes it takes doesn't take long to simply go in and paste one key word at a time you will get back a ton of great keywords that others aren't seeing because they
're using this other method and in actuality when I ran the numbers there
's a total of 3.8 million searches represented by these keywords here that you would miss if you simply just copied and pasted those five terms and hit search the Google Adwords Keyword planner once you've used the google keyword planner to find lots of new keyword ideas what do you do with all those keywords the biggest problem
is that you can there
are so many keyword tools out there you can get hundreds of thousands of keywords by spending a day using the different keyword tools but what you do with all that information the answer
is a cool tool called keyword grouper pro and Keyword Grouper Pro
is completely free there
's not even an opt in you just simply download the tool now at the top of this video there
's a link if you click that i'll show you exactly how to use keyword grouper pro doesn't matter where you got your keywords from i
'm going to show you how to take those keywords group them into tight groups and then you can set up your campaigns and
know exactly which groups represent buyers and once you
know where the buyers
are at you can simply focus your marketing in that area to make more profit in your business
Atheists: I
know many there
are many people that practice religion just by fanaticism, I've seen many people in my opinion stupid (excuse the word) praying to saints hopping to solve their problems by repeating pre-made sentences over and over, but there
are others different, I don't think Religion and Science need to
be opposites, I believe in God, I
'm Catholic and I have many reasons to believe in him, I don't think however that we should pray instead of looking for the cause and applying a solution, Atheists think they
are smart because they focus
on Science and technology instead of putting their faith in a God, I don't think God will solve our problems, i think he gave us the means to solve them by ourselves that
's were God
is, also I think that God created everything but not as a Magical thing but stablishing certain rules
like Physics and Quimics etc. he
's not an idiot and he
knew how to make it so everything
was on balance, he
's the Scientist of Scientist the Mathematic of Mathematics, the Physician of Physicians, from the tiny little fact that a mosquito, an insect species needs to feed from blood from a completely different species, who created the mosquitos that

My friends and i go to a christian church and some of the Muslim students have gone with us just to see and learn for them selves what it
is like instead of going off rumors and here say... Unless you have experiences something
on your own you have
no right to talk smack about it... The reason the world
is the
way it
is is because people
are to stuck up THEIR butts and THEIR
way, to even try and become educated about anything else... im not saying convert or change your
ways... But
be educated about something before you talk because if your not you really look
like a fool... ever religion, race, culture,... they have their good people and they have their bad people and you CAN NOT judge a whole race, religion, culture... off one group... that just
being single minded!!!

And today, rather than playing defense, American seminaries
like Mundelein in Chicago

know the truths to which that experience leads.
Not what u see

know the whole truth... even if it will hurt, just
like Santa - clause when u 12 year or the rats that gives money to the de toothing kid in our Ugandan myth, u deserve to
know the truth... and if no scientist has come out and disproved the divine origin of this universe logically then there must
be a mighty some one behind it and that Creator or whatever it
is, HE has a
way, a straight path to Him and we
are obliged to
know it... so my adverse to u
is look hard for the true coz it
is clear from false, even if u may hate it!!
Come
on get real samson old testement its in there wilful sin my definition
is walking away from the Lord and doing opur own thing
knowing what you should do but still do what you want to do.In the life of Samson WE SEE Gods forgiveness and the sacrifice
is the same as today repentence we
are saved by the grace of God if we turn from our own
way.He
was disobedient to his parents and to the Lord his heart
was no different from ours wilfully disobedient he chose sin over the Lord all the time sleeping with prostites and lying with foreign woman going his own
way and yet God saves him not only that he
was Gods chosen instrument to deliver his people.The sad part
is his term
was only 20 years if he had walking in the
ways of the Lord he should have had that ministry for 40 years that
is the term of completion.We cut ourselves short when we choose sin over the Lord which
is an idol by the
way.We all have those areas in our lives that we keep to ourselves thats wilful they
are our demons and our comforters.Until we surrender all to the Lord we can not
be overcomers and will
be influenced by satan
like samson it
is clear warning to us wilful sin or making sin an idol in our lives has consequences better to serve the Lord with all our hearts even though samson did nt for much of his life God still showed him his grace and faithfullness.You can also see wilful sin in the Life of David yet God saves him but not all
were saved in the life of saul as he wouldnt listen to the Lord and kept walking according to his flesh.
No, what American Catholics
are happy about, or should
be,
is that the pope
is bringing Christianity into the dialogue with secularism in a
way that doesn't alienate the people he would

is doing so while maintaining the firm teachings the Church holds
on moral matters.
the belief
on the existence of the devil
was concieved by theologians of the past thousands of years, there
was no other
way of explaining the bad experiences of people in the past because we
were not educated yet to the kind of what we have now, Why this happened because that
was part of the learning process that God wants us to
know, in pathrotheism, we
are part of God, and He himself
is evolving because He
is the universe, We
are now the conscious part of Him, our destiny in accordance to his will also
be His destiny because it
is His will.Although He prepared first all the material reality of the universe ahead of us, The experiences for us humans including the supernatural
is just part of nirmal process for learning because its natural process, today we reach a point of not believing the practices of the past, but it does not mean its wrong, Just
like a child, adults loved to tell mythical stories to them, because we
knew children enjoys it as part of their learning process.

Be very mindful how you pin a name
on your brother sister; remember the church
is there the burden and those who have sinned yet we become so eager to judge; the word has already judged him, God at this very moment
is dealing with him in
ways that
no man can as we judge him, we have judged ourself, we can easily forgive when his sin
is like ours, but when it
is not; they killed CHRIST CAUSE HE SAID HE COULD RISE THE TEMPLE IN THREE DAYS; to the people of that day and time it
was a lie; as we forgive him we
are forgive ourselves for believing in man and not the word; the word
is still true, and God can still use him; but we must believe and fellow the word God
no matter what; God has a
way of making something good out of what
is bad; that where the hope comes in; the faith in blessed redemption; heal our nation lord; heal our minds love forgive all;

Jeremy have
been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin
was the issue for him just
like the blind man
was it his parents or did he sin the answer
was neither but so that God would
be glorified.What
was the sin that may have
been worse for him.The two situations
are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words
being go and sin
no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency
on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he
is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus
no we
are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things
on his own what his response to follow the
way of the pharisees that
is what
is worse than his condition before so he
is warned by go and sin
no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of
is speaking to him to go another
way means death.Getting back to the two situations of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts
on the one our love for sin and
on the other the desire to work out our salvation
on our terms they
are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience
was the self righteousness
was the harder to deal with because it
is linked in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we have to
be broken so we
are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it
is a struggle at first to change our
way of thinking.brentnz

knows his Marx, and he makes a compelling case that until Christian theology recovers the insights of the apophatic tradition, with its exacting strictures
on the
ways we too easily talk about God, it will
be justly subject to critiques
like Marx's.
No, he walked along his road
like it
was the only one in the universe and,
like everybody that took a step off it, one side or the other,

way to the devil, as fast as might
be.
i long with you david... and i myself stumble in my own awkward efforts toward freedom, and as you said, we
know the fact
is that it
is scary to move into freedom... because it
is unknown... but i see so many
on this newfound road to freedom get trapped in the liminal space of wish - fullfillment community (which actually rather looks
like affinity rather than the hard - won community that comes from communitas)... i
'm sure this
is going to come off the wrong
way, but i
'm going to say it anyway: many of the comments seem to
be «all about me», and truly that
is what religion
is... but not freedom, not the mission of Jesus where you die to yourself by taking up your cross daily... not
being centered
on the «other» rather than yourself...
An imperialism of the present also thrives within a populist evangelicalism shaped by the
likes of the celebrated evangelist Billy Sunday, who once boasted, «I don't
know any more about theology than a jackrabbit does about ping pong, but I
'm on the
way to glory.»
CNN
is like MSNBC,
ON THE
WAY OUT and god only
know I would never invest in them.
There have
been great milestones along the
way; becoming a NYT bestselling author, teaching big classes, things
like that, but in the end what brings me happiness
is knowing I
am on the right path.
