		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-13751&quot;&gt;LORRAINE&lt;/a&gt;: 
Hi Lorraine,

I&#039;ve thought about the dates and will be implementing a cycle to make sure people know when a product was last revisited as things do change.

Niche Blitzkrieg is still recommended and in fact has been updated within the past month. With niche marketing and micro-niche marketing market saturation is a non-issue because the sheer enormity of both the nnumber of different kinds of products people are looking for combined with the number of ways people search for them.

Here&#039;s a video I made to demonstrate the sheer volume of ways people search (I did this quickly, so there&#039;s no audio, but I explain what I did below the video:

&lt;object id=&#039;stVUxQS01IR1xXRVtZW1JZUlBU&#039; width=&#039;425&#039; height=&#039;344&#039; type=&#039;application/x-shockwave-flash&#039; data=&#039;http://www.screentoaster.com/swf/STPlayer.swf&#039;  codebase=&#039;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0&#039;&gt;&lt;param name=&#039;movie&#039; value=&#039;http://www.screentoaster.com/swf/STPlayer.swf&#039;/&gt;&lt;param name=&#039;allowFullScreen&#039; value=&#039;true&#039;/&gt;&lt;param name=&#039;allowScriptAccess&#039; value=&#039;always&#039;/&gt;&lt;param name=&#039;flashvars&#039; value=&#039;video=stVUxQS01IR1xXRVtZW1JZUlBU&#039;/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div style=&#039;width: 425px; text-align: right;&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;http://www.screentoaster.com/&#039;&gt;Free online screen recorder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I used Google&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal&quot;&gt;free keyword research tool here&lt;/a&gt; and started with the larger niche &quot;aquariums&quot; and foundand then drilled down to &quot;saltwater aquariums&quot; which had 62 related keywords.

Now let&#039;s say that we just took 100 keywords from the original &quot;aquarium&quot; list and each of those had 50 related keywords -just from that initial list there would be at least 5000 keywords to potentially target. In fact, the real number of potential keywords to target from that would more likely get to twice or three times that number because many of the keywords will have multiple ways that people search for them such as the keyword &quot;set up aquarium&quot;.
set up aquarium
set up aquariums
setup aquarium
setup aquariums
aquarium set up
aquariums set up
aquarium setup
aquariums setup

Let&#039;s say there are an average of 3 variations for each keyword on the initially list (some will have more variations, some will have less) - now we are at 15,000 potential keywords to target from the initial list.

Let&#039;s say there are 1 million different types of products to potentially sell (probably a conservative number) and each had potentially 15,000 potential variations - now we are up to 15 billion potential keywords (again probably a conservative number) to go after - however obviously you need a systematic and relatively quick way to figure out which which keywords to after, which is where systems like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.workathometruth.com/Niche-Blitzkrieg-mini-review.php&quot;&gt;Niche Blitzkrieg&lt;/a&gt; come in.

There are plenty of good products that teach niche marketing, but it&#039;s pretty rare to find one that includes a forum for a low one-time fee like Niche Blitzkrieg.

Whatever training you choose to learn from, just make sure it covers the basics &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.workathometruth.com/blog/2009/08/31/be-where-the-money-is/&quot;&gt;discussed here&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I noticed that your recommendations for Niche Blitzkrieg dates back to 2008 - we are nearly 2010 - is the system as effective as ever or has it saturated the market and is now not as effective as it once was?  Since some of the program produces no money, how is a person to know if it will make money - are there guidelines to help with the selection process of whatever it is?</description>

		<description>Paul, 

I believe KD on Nov. 2 thought you were poking fun at Bo by listing a website concerning newborn care because Bo started her question on Oct. 27 by stating &quot;Thanks for all you do for us Newbies&quot;.   Of course if she had read cafefully she would have realized that you were only pointing out that the website in Bo&#039;s question used a picture in it testimonials that was from the site you sited. Ha!</description>

		<description>Susan,

It&#039;s ok you don&#039;t need to put in your province since we will not be physically shipping anything.  The entire course is projected online.

We&#039;ve got many Canadian members already.  :)

So you just need Canada and your zipcode and the order should work.
If you need anything else or are still having trouble contact us at michaelbrownsupport.com or use our phone # listed there and we&#039;ll get you taken care of.  :)

Thanks Paul for pointing this out to me.

		<description>Paul,
Again, thank you for for all you do, I checked out the test pic and I believe that it confirms this is a scam. Also, one point I did not metion in my first email is that in her sales letter, when she tells her story of rags to riches, l0l, she mentioned a mentor and gave his name as Greg (I think) then later she refers to him as Gary or vs verus. I checked her website before sending this email and guess what? She now metions him but no name, curioous, huh. She must have  got caught and changed it.
Again Thank you for helping us newbies that are seeking legit online income oppurtunities.
