You may be using both Google Trends and Google Insights keyword tools for comparison of your chosen keyword and market.

But wait, have you realized that there are some difference in statistics among the two?

Recently i have compared some keywords among the two tools, and here’s the result.

1. The graphical trend over the time seems to be identical.

2. But the regions of interest appears to be a little different from the 2nd spot onwards.

Here’s a screenshot of it.

If you have been using Adwords, you are probably using it already.But if you’re just using Adwords Editor, you may not realised that there’s a new interface Adwords is rolling out.

The new interface is cool and sleek, and most importantly it’s fast!

Making the management of the campaign very easy and intuitive, you will be offered to switch to the new interface with option to switch back to the old one within 30 days when you login. Frankly, i really like the new interface, in the old days i was using the web interface and campaign setting up is taking long time…

I didn’t see the campaign creation feature in the new interface, anyone??

I could see that Google is trying to make the campaign management on the web a lot easier. Would there be one day when this new interface would take over the function of editor??

With the current economic downturn, a lot of people are affected with company downsizing, restructuring, or whatever you name it.

And, I remember the movie ‘Perfect Storm’, that the only way to survive the storm is to stay ‘above water’.

Just a thought this morning before the days start, that i firmly believe that if you’re one of them, these simple steps could help you in one way or another.

1. Join a few CPA networks company.

2. Pick 3-6 CPA offers that is of high quality, and address a certain need.

3. Use Google keyword tool to generate 100 keywords.

4. Find out how people are advertising in the Google.

5. Drive traffic to it with Yahoo Search Marketing , using the keywords and ads that you found in 3 & 4.

6. Test, track it, and remove those non-converting keywords/adgroups.

7. Repeat the process for other CPA offers.

This is the stuff that works, try it.

Here’s a list of giveaway events that I currently participating in.

Show me your support by signing up as contributor and grab my gift inside.

The question that I would like to address here is:

"How To Get Giveaway Event to Work For You?"

In any event, the things that people look for is "value", how does it add value to their bottom line, and how does it help them to make their life and business better. If you can address this in your product, then it will work for you.

I would agree most freebie seekers do go to giveaway event to get freebies of course, and i doubt they download all of the gifts that are available. Maybe some will do that, but most people won’t, they skim the headlines, and the ecover to justify that whether it’s a product they wanted.

So, in order to know what’s the product the audience wanted, simply go to the giveaway event signup as contributor, and look at the "gift download stats", see what are the TOP products that are in demand, and how does the ecover looks like, create a product in that market and you should be doing ok.

Of course, you could also opt for upgrade option, by paying a small fee you could be listing your product on the TOP spot that get the most view. You could also email your list and invite them to signup to grab the freebies, by doing this you will be able to earn more points and hence your product listing will go up.

But ultimately, a good product do make the difference in the relationship when the visitor opt-in, you will be able to build a better list because you’re not giving away some craps. Instead, you’re giving them "value".

I hope this helps!
