KEI values that lift accuracy to even greater heights
Welcome to the KEI Observation Deck:
I created this Blog a few years ago because I wanted to demonstrate how powerful KEI values were in sorting through keyword research. So I wrote an e-book called Wordtracker Magic back in 2005.
Last year I wrote a new book called Keyword Forensics for SEO which offers a few insights into the study of researching "user behavior" instead of just researching "keywords." For info on that you can see Wordtracker Magic 2.0.
We have been teaching these techniques privately to small groups of affiliate marketers, Webmasters and business owners since about late 2000. But every time we discover sharper units of measurement or develop tools or techniques that are a cut above, we have usually reserved first knowledge of these methodologies for our Alumni students who attend our various Search Engine Academies across North America and in Asia.
Today I am here to tell you that there is a brand new tool available that you can use to measure KEI values in a much more advanced approach that lift accuracy to even greater heights than ever before possible. I'll tell you about this tool in a minute.
Not only was it most recently demonstrated in our Baltimore Workshop last week, among many other very cool research methodologies, but I'll be demonstrating it again this month at the upcoming Toronto Search Engine Academy on November 17-21.
Check out the hot agenda of topics.
Okay, I won't make you wait to to learn the name of one of the tools
since there is a buzz beginning to happen anyway. You can have a look at SEO Sniper right here.
Finally a keyword research tool that allows you to activate even more deadly accurate KEI values using Google Data instead of data from the Meta Crawlers.
But that is not even touch the margin of the other great solutions we will be teaching you about if you can attend the Toronto Workshop.
-Imagine being able to trouble shoot any page, without guess work.
-Imagine being able to identify for certain the biggest windows of opportunity with more accuracy than has ever been available before.
-Try to get a handle on the advantages of measuring not only your own genuine influences to SEO, but have the ability to see and take advantage of opportunities, while knowing the exact priority sequence of exactly what needs to be done and in the most important order.
I look forward to the opportunity of working together in person with you next month in Toronto on Nov. 17-21, 2008.
Come join me, John Alexander with SEO educator Barry Byers for an in-depth hands-on SEO Workshop where we'll show you all of the most accurate methods for optimizing Web pages in the minimal number of moves. It's a whole new understanding that will save you literally hundreds of hours of tweaking and guessing and literally months of wasted hours.
Never miss another huge traffic spike again.
There is still room to join us in the upcoming Toronto SEO Workshop.

Recent Questions from Readers
Question: (Name withheld)
John, why does there seem to be so much instability in rank checking software these days? Is there no decent tool on the market that will allow you to consistently get the right information?
Answer: John Alexander
The short answer is there are some tools that are better than others, but there currently is something happening that will, in my opinion, make traditional rank checking methods completely obsolete. As you may have noticed, the trend is a reality already.
Question: (Name withheld)
Are you saying that statistical reporting will become obsolete too?
Answer: John Alexander
No, statistical reporting such as Google Analytics or traditional programs like Clicktracks or WebTrends should not be affected. I am only referring to "rank checking" tools.
Question: (Name withheld)
So you say that some rank checking tools still do work?
Answer:
Yes they work, but the challenge is not with the tool. That is to say it is not any particular rank checking tool's "fault" for the inaccuracies they are producing. There is something much bigger happening and many SEO Professionals are denying it because they don't understand why and they don't have the solution to address it.
Here is an article I wrote a while ago predicting the trend you are seeing now seeing:
Are Your Sales Dropping as Your SEO Rankings "Soar high?"
Here is another letter I got this week from a reader asking questions along the same lines:
Question: Readers name withheld:
Hello,
We oversee a Web site that ranks well for relevant phrases, but the
traffic has gone from growing and OK to almost non-existent in the
past 30 days. We (and our client) are very disturbed by this.
We have never seen this before. Can you suggest how/where we should
start to resolve this?
I just read your article that mentioned this scenario, but I did not
pick up on recommended actions.
Any help you can offer is most welcome.
Many thanks for your time.
Answer: John Alexander
We have been teaching in depth on solutions to this issue in our live SEO Workshops since late 2007.
Many Webmasters are in rejection of the idea that something like this can possibly happen. But it is in fact to become one of the biggest changes to affect the entire SEO industry since the days of PPC, and very few are prepared with a solution.
In the Workshop we certainly can show you why it is happening and why it will continue to happen it much greater magnitude, what you need to absolutely understand for the future. We have also have the specific solutions that you need to implement now, to keep your clients happy and profitable in the future.
As this issue continues to take place, I believe it will clean up many of the "fly by night" SEOs or the type of "less than reputable" services out there.
The trend will at the very least, make people more aware that they need to keep up to date with their skills.
In my opinion the trend is here to stay. It's going to become more evident until it is not possible for anyone to deny it is happening. Many long term legitimate marketers will also be caught up in the confusion.
Now is the time to come get caught up and you'll be able to apply solutions to address these and other issues if you can make it to our Baltimore SEO Mastery Workshop.
