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

This
is going to
be a shock — the men who actually wrote all the parts in the Bible and made changes to the infrastructure of Christianity — including Constantine circa 300 AD in Rome —
were not afraid of unleashing the occasional metaphor... in other words the Bible
is not entirely literal — no, you
are supposed to use your imagination... In many cases the disciples didn't actually witness an event — it
was long distance and time altered hearsay — God figured Man could handle that... So don't
be afraid to dilute - God's
cool with that —
as long
as you do the right thing in life — feed the poor, help your neighbor, don't kill or covet - just
be a good and decent person - smile, love and give generously... God doesn't need robots — He wants thoughtful individuals who help!!!
But these past 5 years the lord has
been showing me life or His word and its
cool but the power or grace
is in identifing
with my own flesh or sinful nature
as THE issue, not whats around me, that there
is no weapon that
is form against me that will prosper, or I think it says do nt fear loosing YOUR life but loosing your soul.
Their witness could
be called «catechesis
with a punch» - the outstanding content of their teaching
is hammered home by the enthusiasm and energy of the teachers who
as college students
are usually seen
as «
cool» in the eyes of their youthful audiences.
