Hold Tight – Jaaxy is getting a BIG Upgrade and we'll be back in just a short while!
We have been hard at work preparing the BIGGEST update that Jaaxy has ever seen, and we're excited to bring this to you Today!
While we perform this upgrade Jaaxy will be unavailable, but we promise it will be quick and well worth the wait.
As a free member of Jaaxy, you can either get unlimited credits within the system by signing-up as a member ($19/mth), or you can earn more credits by letting other people know about the free access to Jaaxy. It really is an easy sell, because well, you are not selling anything. You are giving away free access to the top keyword, market,and niche research tool online!
How it Works
Ever person that joins Jaaxy is an affiliate, meaning you can promote Jaaxy through your affiliate links (find them at Affiliate Program => Affiliate Resources). For every person you refer to Jaaxy that signs up for free, you will earn an additional 10 search credits. This can add up very quickly. Some members that share Jaaxy frequently are using the tool full time for free because of their referrals.
Get 10 sign-ups = 100 search credits
Get 100 sign-ups = 1,000 search credits
Get 1,000 sign-ups = 10,000 search credits!
When you refer someone, the credits will go directly into your account. I made 2 referrals in my account and have done 7 searches. This is what my free account now looks like (30 + 20 bonus – 7 searches):
That is not the only opportunity. When you refer someone to Jaaxy and they create a free account, you are their referral for LIFE. If at any time in the future, they end paying for the full priced tool (which many people end up doing), you earn $8/mth recurring affiliate commissions.
This may not seem like a ton, but it adds up very quickly. Average retention for paying members is close to 12 months, some people will stay members for several years.
The average (with retention) is $90+ commission per referral, and this continues to rise. If just 30 of your referrals sign-up, you can expect to get a payment of close to $2,700! Not bad for referring someone to a free tool. Here is a full video explaining how you can earn more search credits just by letting people know about Jaaxy:
That leads me to some techniques that you can easily implement to attain free referrals and earn loads of free search credits within your Jaaxy account.
6 Techniques You can Implement to Earn More Search Credits
(1) Social Networks – Most of you reading this are likely part of more than one social network. Many of you likely have people that you are "friends" with or "groups" you are part of that would be very interested in a free service like Jaaxy.
Simply get your affiliate link from the Affiliate Program => Affiliate Resources page. Here are some places that you could include this link:
- Your Facebook Wall
- Share it on your Friends Facebook Wall
- Within Facebook Groups
- Tweet about it on Twitter
- Share it on Google +
- Share it within your LinkedIn Account
- Pin an image on the Jaaxy page and add your affiliate link (on Pinterest)
- Share it within your MySpace account
- Post it on your Tumblr pages
- Share it on any other social network that I haven't mentioned
(2) Email Your List – If you have a mailing list in the Internet marketing niche, you have a lot of power here. You are not only going to get 1,000's of free search credits, you are likely going to be able to earn a good deal of revenue. Not only are your subscribers going to love you for letting them know about the free search offer, many are likely going to end up signing-up, becoming a very good residual income stream for you.
If you don't have a mailing list (or don't know what I am talking about), then you can email your friends your affiliate link, telling them about the Jaaxy 30 Free, giving them some insight into the tool and the benefits. We all know someone that is interested in online business, and in order to succeed online you need to understand keywords.
(3) Create a YouTube Video – If you are create videos, creating a keyword research tutorial or creating a Jaaxy review and then dropping your affiliate link within the description can lead to a lot of exposure and a lot of referrals. If you are a video creator, I highly suggest you take advantage of this technique.
(4) Add promotion to your website – If you have a website that you could effectively promote Jaaxy 30 Free on, then you should take advatnage of it. There are several ways you could easily benefit from this:
- Create a blog post explaining Jaaxy 30 Free
- Create a keyword research tutorial of you using Jaaxy
- Offer a challenge or contest that people are entered into if they join Jaaxy Free
- Give away keywords, and tell people where they can get more (for free)
- Add the Jaaxy Search Toolbar to your website (find it on Affiliate Program => Affiliate resources page)
(5) Forums – Are you a member of any forums? If so, you can let people know about Jaaxy free today. Add your Jaaxy link to your affiliate signature with appropriate supporting text.

My task to you today is to take advantage of at least two of these techniques. I think you will be surprised as to your results and how many search credits you and affiliate revenue you will be able to earn by giving away something for free.
If you have any questions about the Jaaxy referral system, let us know and we will give you a hand.
Yes, you did not read that incorrectly. We have just launched Jaaxy Free, a way for everyone to get a full access look into Jaaxy, the only keyword tool I have ever used. In fact, the only keyword tool I have been this "addicted" to.
Simply go to the Jaaxy.com homepage, and register through Facebook (we Facebook to verify that you are a real user), create a password for your account, and YOU ARE IN.

These 30 searches alone are going to save you a lot of time and money and reveal some real keyword gems.
Why We Are Giving You Jaaxy For Free
We know we offer the best keyword tool out there. Carson and I have been in the online world for 10 years now and we have used keyword tools over the years, but have found them to be full of fluff and to really offer no valuable data. People tend to waste their time on keyword tools, making something out of nothing… in other words, pretending charts and meaningless data mean something that it really doesn't (metrics like "commercial intent" comes to mind).
I use Jaaxy every day. I find as many keywords that I need to operate any campaigns and I also help others find keywords. It is simple to use, it offers clarity within a world that can be confusing and it gets at data points that no other keyword tool is able to get at with such efficiency. I want you to be able to experience this type of efficient keyword research.
Thus, we wanted to give YOU free access for yourself so you could test Jaaxy, use it to build keyword campaigns, store keyword lists, and find some real keyword gems. This way you can determine if you love it as much as I do (I think you will)!
30 searches should be more than enough to get a taste for what Jaaxy offers…and there are no catches. You just sign-up for free via your Facebook account, no credit card required.

Here is a quick video on how to export your Jaaxy keyword list into a simple excel spreadsheet.
What other formats would you like to see available as an export in Jaaxy?
This is Kyle, co-founder of Jaaxy.com.
Today I want to discuss a few things with you and give you some perspective on what Jaaxy is and why you should consider making Jaaxy your keyword tool of choice.
With all the keyword toys out there, it can be tough to decide which keyword tool is best for you. I know, I was a keyword and research tool consumer for a number of years, in fact since 2002 when I started out and I was using the old Overture tool to find out what keywords my competition was bidding on.
Like the Internet, the keyword market and the reason we use keywords has evolved. The problem is that many keyword tools have not kept up, some have tried and failed, and others have done a mediocre job at best.
Even the big companies like Google are starting to deliver crazy results that are often times inflated. I know it is hard to believe, but the "Do no evil" think went a little far.
Most keyword tools have relied entirely on Google results in the past, and if you weren't aware, many of the top tools no longer work online because Google has recently done a grandiose suspension of accounts that were used to access this date.
This means that most keyword tools either don't work, or they are using outdated data from their database (some of it could be a year or more old!).
I don't know about you, but I am not interested in using outdated data!
How does Jaaxy come up with our search and traffic numbers?
We have done extensive research through comparative data testing and have come up with an algorithm that utilizes data from all Search Engines (not just Google) to reveal search data that is far closer to the "real" numbers.
We don't care about graphs, we don't show you fluff, and we don't let you fool yourself into "over analyzing" data that is meaningless.
When we add a new feature or a new tool within Jaaxy, the first question we ask is why. We don't say "it would look cool if there was a graph there", instead we rephrase this "how will it benefit the user to have a graph there". If it is just for show (like most tools out there), then we don't add it.
There are only a few metrics that are really important to an online business and I think that sometimes people are led to believe otherwise.
Seriously, what keyword metrics do you care about as an online marketer? Think about it…
Traffic. Yes of course. There is one of them.
Competition. Yes, absolutely.
What else?
Those are the main ones. Trends, graphs, website analysis, and any other sort of data is secondary and often times confuses the matter.
Because of this, we have invested a lot of time and technical resources creating a sophisticated research system that does an wonderful job of getting at these pieces of data…and doing so in an efficient matter.
Let's look at the main keyword data points within Jaaxy…
You will notice that I have indicated the main two items within the search.
Monthly Searches: This is traffic, this is the estimated traffic, and if you can get a top 3 search result in the Google rankings, you can acquire a good deal of Monthly Searches that is outlined (up to 60%). One thing that I want to emphasize is the fact that traffic is not the be all end all…I often times seek out competition metrics before traffic ones. If you can't get a good ranking, traffic has absolutely no meaning…that is, it is better to have 10 first page rankings under keywords that get 100 searches per day, than it is to have 2nd page rankings under keywords that get 1,000′s of searches per day. People rarely make it to the 2nd page!
QSR: This is the competition. Jaaxy has an innate ability to find your exact competition quickly and deliver directly to you within the tool. Your goal when doing research is to aim for keywords with under 400 QSR, this means less than 400 competing pages in Google. In the above case, the search term "best keyword research tool 2010" is a wonderful keyword because it only has 41 competing pages in Google. This would be an easy to rank keyword.
KQI: And for those of you that want quick visuals, we have included an extra column called KQI, or Keyword Quality Index. I love using this as it allows me to quickly scan a list of keywords and visually find the ones that are more likely to be better keywords. KQI is based on traffic volume, competition, and estimated ranking results…thus giving you a powerful and quick way to interpret keyword lists.
Within minutes using these keyword metrics alone, I can put together awesome keyword lists, ones that will get ranked in Google with ease. Traffic and competition…and maybe a little KQI is all I need to efficiently find keywords.
I also tend to spy on my competition (occasionally)!
At Jaaxy, our goal is to also give you some insight into what makes your competition tick…by this I mean, what they are doing to acquire rankings.
I know many of you are interested in backlinks and what sort of backlinks your competition has. Really though, how is this going to help you. Seriously, it is not going to make a difference. The number of backlinks if they are quality ones can make a difference, but sheer backlink volume does not mean a thing anymore.
And either does density…you can get ranked with a 0% "exact" keyword density. Amazing huh? (SEE BELOW)
Google has completely changed their backlink "value" within their Panda algorithm and has also modified the importance. It carries a ranking percentage much lower now, whereas at one time it use to be weighted much higher (some say upwards of 80%).
I remember back in the early 2000's, meta tags were all you really needed to get good rankings. You could simply add the keywords you wanted within your title, keyword, and description meta tags and get rankings. Boy have things changed!
There are just a few metrics that I like to glance at when "snooping" the data of top ranked websites. I don't spend too much time on this as it can vary so much, but sometimes checking in on this data can give you a good handle of what the "top rankers" are doing.
I look at…
Word Count – how many words are on the page, this is an interesting stat as you will be able to quickly gauge what sort of length is rank appropriate.
Quantity of Backlinks – You will find that these differ and sometimes top ranked sites have very few, sometimes they have a lot. This puts the value into perspective for me, or lack thereof. In this case, the top site had a ton of backlinks, but had zero density…which led me to believe that Google truly can determine REAL content from fake, and quality from bad.
PageRank – Gives you a quick idea what sort of PR sites you are up against for that particular keyword. Again, sometimes PR 0 sites with quality content can outrank PR 7 sites with no problems.
Those are the 3 main ones I look at, but as I said, I don't over-invest my time into this aspect of my research. If you create quality content, the core of any ranking in the search engines, you can get ranked high in any search engine if you meet the Traffic and QSR metrics.
This section within Jaaxy is an evolutionary tool…meaning that when the way search engines rank websites change, we change our listings to best help our users interpret the proper data. Some upcoming updates I can see relating to social activity, so stay tuned for that!
And what about ideas. We all want MORE keywords and MORE niches right?
I know better than the next person, after a long day of anything, ideas can be hard to come by. That is why we simplified the idea revelation…
I use the brainstorming tab at Jaaxy regularly. (SEE BELOW)
The awesome part is that it allows me to sift through ideas that are already there, all in one place. I don't have to scour the Internet for niche ideas when my own dry up…and a day rarely goes by where I don't find a brand new "golden nugget" idea that I dig down into and reveal a ton of awesome keywords.
We make it very easy for you to add any of the ideas to a "queue" where you can then search them right within the keyword research tab. Now that is what I call idea efficiency. I think you will love this feature as well.
Whew…this blog post turned out to be a bit longer than I anticipated. Once I get going, sometimes it is hard to stop, in particular when I get going on Jaaxy. I could write all day about this, but I will spare you the time.
Carson and I created this because we didn't like what was out there and we invested a lot of technical expertise and money into the development of it. It is the only tool I use (or need) and I think you will feel the same way.
Hope you enjoyed this and if you do have any questions or feedback, please leave it below.
Co-founder of Jaaxy
Have you ever found a great keyword for a niche, but were not sure what exactly to do with it? I wanted to give you some insight on what you can do with an awesome keyword that you would find in Jaaxy. There are a plethora of possibilities, but it certainly depends on the chosen niche.
Now before we determine what can be done with a great keyword, let's make sure the keyword is a 'buyers keyword' with profitability.
Here are some factors on what makes a keyword potentially profitable.
Are They Kicking Tires or Taking a Test Drive?
Some keywords are search terms where the user is simply accessing information about a niche and not necessarily interested in purchasing. this is commonly associated with 'info about' keywords. For example, if you look at the screen capture below, you will notice there are a variety of search terms where users are looking for general info.
I simply entered 'info about' into Jaaxy for these results.
Although these search numbers seem appealing and have a low quoted search results (QSR), are they keywords where users are ready to buy? I am going to say no. These keywords are great for blog posts or articles that would link back to your websites for a SERP boost.
A SERP boost is when your website climbs the ranks in the search engine result pages.
Do They Need it Or Want it?
This is a great determining factor on how quickly they purchase an item.
For example:
If a person has just purchased an expensive camera and wants to protect it, they would purchase a case based on the want.
How about if a person just had a baby and needs to order diapers, they would purchase them based on the need. By the way, people do buy diapers online!
A wanted product may not be at the tail end of the purchasing lifecycle, but they still intend to buy!
A needed product would be at the end of a purchasing lifecyle and would probably purchase right away.
By taking into account some of these factors, we can determine if a keyword is potentially profitable.
Got the keyword.. Now What?
There are certainly a plethora of possibilities once you have found a keyword and this would be somewhat based on what exactly the keyword is. Let's go out and find a keyword for the camera niche.
After a few minutes of research (about 10 minutes), here is what I came up with.
But upon further research (another 5 minutes), I have found the keyword I would use.
That keyword also has the .org available which is a contributing factor to ranking keywords in the search engines. I have also saved my keyword list inside Jaaxy and can come back to it at any time for article keywords.
So here is what I would do with that keyword.
Step one: Buy the domain
This is pretty basic, simply click the buy domain button within Jaaxy and that would take me to Godaddy. I would make sure I set my nameservers during the purchase of the domain purchase as this tends to be quicker.
Step two: Add Domain to Hosting
This is usually a very quick step depending on who you are hosting with but I would add the domain to my hosting account and wait for the domain to be live.
Step three: Create a WordPress Website
There are some hosting companies that have simple wordpress installations where it only takes a few clicks to get the site rolling and this is how I do it. Once wordpress is installed, I will then tweak the settings in the following way:
Settings > General
- Check Site Title and change Tagline
- Change Time zone to my city
- Enable XML-RPC for remote publishing (for ipad)
- Add more ping services to Update Services
Settings > Discussion
- Remove ability to comment
- I manually set this for each post
Settings > Privacy
- Ensure it is set to allow Search Engines to index
Settings > Permalinks
- Custom Structure: /%postname%
Step four: Add Content
This is where I will start to implement my keyword on the website home page. Here are the details of the set-up and site site layout.
- Change category from 'Uncategorized' to the keyword
- Add new pages:
My Main Keyword page
Privacy Policy
- Change 'Settings > Reading' to:
Front Page: My Main Keyword page
Post Page: Blog
From here, I would continue to add valuable content on the site and off the site on a high quality article directory such as StreetArticles as they tend to rank very fast in the search engines.
As you can see, implementing a plan for keywords isn't that difficult as long as you stick to your plan and do some research prior to setting up any website projects. This is just one example as to what can be done with a keyword that could be found with a few minutes inside Jaaxy!
When I am doing keyword research, I don't like the idea of potentially missing keywords.
Jaaxy is wonderful for finding keywords, but when doing research you want to be as thorough as you can, truly seeking out every last corner of your niche. In other words, finding every keyword gem that is out there (and there are lots of them left).
Because of this, I would like to share a keyword research technique with you that I have been using for about a year and a half…ever since the rollout of Google Instant. It is very easy to do, and very easy to conquer an entire niche of keywords.
There are 2 tools that you need for this research technique:
(1) A keyword tool (ideally Jaaxy)
(2) Google Instant
That is it. Most of us have a keyword tool, and if you are reading this, you could very well have access to Jaaxy.
Finding the initial core search term.
If your niche is promoting keyword research tools, you might want to start with the core term "keyword".
As you can see, when I type in a search term, Google Instant starts giving me suggestions. It typically shows the "most popular" searches first, in this case the term "keyword tool" was the most popular extension of the term keyword.
I then dump this keyword in Jaaxy…
I get thirty very targeted results. You can see the little icons beside some of these search terms and this is because I have saved them to a keyword list. This is the initial process. Choose a root keyword that is relevant to your niche so you have a starting point.
I want to look at another example here just for clarification purposes. I have an android phone (the Samsung Nexus, not too bad!), so I am going to do the exact same thing here. Start with a Google Instant search…
OK, it looks like "android phone reviews" is the most popular. My next step is dumping this search term into Jaaxy.
I have a bunch of keywords. But this is just the start of this technique!
Walking through the alphabet
The next thing we are going to do is go through the entire alphabet with our root search term. In the case of the example above, these root terms are "keyword" and "android phone". We are going to start by typing the letter "a" next to the search term. Remember, Google Instant will give you the most popular searched terms first.
Let's look at what "keyword a" gives us in Google Instant:
What I want to do now is walk through some of the terms related to "a". I usually choose ones that I am interested in, in this case I chose "keyword analysis". I then plugged this into Jaaxy. Here is what I get…
Some more excellent keywords (I have indicated some really low competition ones with red arrows). I have only search ONE term under the FIRST letter as well. If you walk through the entire alphabet in this same fashion, you are going to get a ton more results. Go through the "b" terms, then the "c" terms, etc.
**Note that everything within Google instant is not going to be in keyword tools. Google Instant is sometimes much more current as keyword data can be a month delayed. Google instant also does produce search terms that don't get searched, so sometimes this will be the case. The key is leveraging every keyword possiblity here.
Storing your research into a list (search terms)
As you can see, there is a green icon next to many of the search terms. This is because I am storing a lot of the ones that I want to use to a keyword list in Jaaxy. I recommend that you do this during all of your keyword research. It allows you to revisit awesome keywords at any time you like in the future!
Just a little tip!
The "Before" Keyword Variation
There is another way to utilize Google Instant to get at keywords, this time instead of using the alphabet after the search term, we are going to use it before the search term. Note that this time you DO NOT want to put a space between the letter and the keyword.
In the example of "android phone" targeting the letter "b", you would type in a "b" before "android phone" (make sure that it is already in the search).
Here is what I mean:
I then take the first term "best android phone" and plug that into Jaaxy. Who would have figured, several more low competition keywords!
As you can see, I have added more keywords to my list. In just a few searches and two letters in the alphabet, I have a ton of awesome terms. Imagine the potential if I walked through the entire alphabet? This is just the start of the keyword opportunities!
You move onto the next "root" keyword after you have completed one. To be completely honest with you, YOU SHOULD NEVER run out of keyword ideas if you do this. I know I could find keywords for a lifetime using this technique alone.
To never being stuck with keywords again,
People spend hours, days and even months researching for their campaigns. They get stuck coming up with niches. They have no ideas how to break down a niche. They don't know how to find a good domain name. They are not sure where to generate ideas.
Because of this, I wanted to do a time based exercise. Starting right now, I am going to spend 10 minutes using Jaaxy to see how much research I can accomplish. I will document exactly what I do. I am going to break these down into 5 lists (below) and then I will spend some time explaining exactly how I performed this research after.
Here is what I came up with in 10 minutes…

That is 30 new niches, 27 keywords, and 12 domains in 10 minutes of research. That is value based research, that is efficiency, and this was a reflect not of the techniques or strategies I was using, but having access to the right data and the right tool. I am going to explain exactly how I cam up with this keywords, niches and domains however, breaking down each of the sections for clarity.
Research should not have to take you hours per day. Here I have done enough research for a week in 10 minutes, probably more research than most can accomplish in an entire week. Here is how it is done…
How I Uncovered Niches
To find niches, I always use the "relevant keywords" to the side of every search within Jaaxy. I was actually watching TV when I started doing this exercise, and there was a speech on "jobs". I typed this term into Jaaxy, starting broad and then working more targeted. I instantly got a bunch of ideas, but that just proves how simple the starting point of your research can be. Start with a single word, something that is in front of you, or if you have a niche in mind, start with that. Either way, to start research, you have to come up with a starting point…so do not overthink this aspect of it.
Here is what the "relevant results" look to the side of my jobs keyword search:
You will notice that I pulled some of these exact "niches" into my list. Every search in Jaaxy provides you with relevant ideas (I like to refer to them as potential niche ideas). Let's look at another search that I did in Jaaxy targeting "online community"
I was able to pull a couple more niches from these "relevant results". This is something that you should regularly do, keep an eye on relevant niches when doing research for something completely independent. You can never have too many niches in your back pocket!
How I Uncovered Low Competition Keywords
Take your initial keyword idea and plug it in. I typically look at the traffic results, if the number is very high, then you can almost assume that the competition is high. This is likely because the keyword is too broad. If the traffic is 1,000 and under, there is usually limited competition and I click the "Get QSR" button to find out the exact competition. If the keyword is longer tailed, ie, more than 3 words in length, it will typically be a lower competition term.
I suggest that you always aim for under a 400 QSR (Quote Search Results) rank. These are SEO friendly search terms.
Here are the results that came up with my initial "jobs" search. Of these, a few of them had a QSR under the 400 threshold that I trick to stick under.
That is all I do really, I look at the keywords, I click the QSR under one or many of them, and if the QSR is under 400 and relevant to the niche I am promoting, it is a keeper in my book. I know that I can easily rank a keyword with a QSR of less than 400 through article marketing or website content.
How I Uncovered Domain Names
Competition. If the QSR is lower than 400, there is a good chance that the domain is going to be available in the .com or .org TLD (the best choices). These are the domains with value and the ones that you can easily get ranked in Google under the keywords within the domains, can be flipped, or put a website on and sold for an even greater profit.
Here is an example domain search that I performed…
Both the .com and .org are available. If you bought this domain, put a site on it, you would likely be able to get ranked #1 in Google very easily under the term "senior citizen job opportunities" and reap the benefits of the traffic (this is an entire business model for many marketers). Domain flipping is a big business. People earn a lot of money from domains. People leverage keyword rich domain traffic to drive a lot of business.
I am not sure if you are aware of this as well, but I wrote an entire "blueprint" on the domain business and it is offered as a bonus when you join Jaaxy! We currently have a portfolio of 500+ domains that are worth far more than we paid for them. A domain is a low $8 investment compared to the upside potential. Like land, they are not making any more .com or .org domain names.
How I Uncovered Brand New Ideas I Would Have NEVER Thought Of
It's been a long day, you are flustered and you do not feel like coming up with ideas out of "thin air". Fortunately you don't have to as there are many very easy ways to do this. With a few minutes to go in this exercise, I decided to dip me feet into the Brainstorm tab within Jaaxy to see what I could quickly come up with.
You may have noticed that I came up with a pretty big list of niches "I would have never thought of"…and I did so very quickly. This is primarily because the Brainstorm feature within Jaaxy gives me fresh, trending, and new ideas (several times daily!). It just so happens that I pulled these ideas from this tab (as shown below).
It really took very little thought and it took me more time to record the actual niches than it did to write them down. I was 9 minutes into my research when I decided to hit this tab, so I had less than one minute to scramble for niches here to complete the exercise. How did I do?
I hope that I have put things into perspective for you. I spent very little time (10 minutes to be exact) and accomplished a lot in this exercise. I hope you found this revealing and that the next time you go to perform research, you consider taking out a clock and seeing what you can accomplish. I would love to hear your feedback.

URGENT: Bonuses Available ONLY From November 8th, 2011 – November 15th, 2011
After a year of programming, vigorous testing, refinement, and using the amazing Jaaxy tool, it is officially ready for the masses!
I am Kyle, and I am an advocate and superuser of Jaaxy!
Over the past 10 years, the Internet has changed. SEO has drastically changed, PPC has drastically changed, there have been Internet business models that have come and gone, and there are currently many new business opportunities that have arrived because of social, new search technologies and Google algorithm updates.
One thing that HASN'T changed however, is the importance of keyword research. I remember back in the PPC days when I literally used to have single keywords (yes, one keyword) that would generate revenue upwards of $1,000 per day. Imagine if you had a keyword tool that could help you find keywords like this!
These days, a lot more of the emphasis is on Search Engine Optimization, and discovering keywords that are good for article marketing, website content, keyword rich domains, and ultimately search phrases that are LOW in competition, but HIGH in traffic.
There are literally MILLIONS of keywords out there with low competition and high traffic, so this is good news for you…the only problem you face is finding these keywords so that you can benefit from them.
Introducing Jaaxy…
Jaaxy uses some very complex calculations and formulas to find keyword data that NO OTHER TOOL has ever been able to provide you with. With a simple search, you will not only be able to reveal quality and highly relevant keywords, you are going to be able to determine whether or not you will be able to get SEO rankings in Google easily with the keyword, whether or not the domain is available for the keyword, and ultimately, if the keyword is hot or not.
Since there are VISUAL indicators, this can be done very quickly….in a matter of seconds. Just yesterday I spent 4 hours performing a variety of keyword research exercises within the Jaaxy system and I can honestly say that I probably accomplished more research and discovered more low competition, high traffic keywords than most people could spending an entire month.
I also found a couple of awesome domain names…bought those, and could likely flip them for several $100 more than I paid for them. 4 hours, and likely $1,000′s in potential profits I can yield from this research.
Other "Never Seen Before" Features
A keyword and research tool that finds awesome keywords, and does so quickly would typically be enough, but we created this tool as something that WE would want to use. With a combined 20 years in the Internet Marketing world, we know what sort of data and tools we need to success with our research and we
(1) Web Based & Universal Access – I included this one because it is big for me, so I know it will be big for avid keyword tool users out there. Jaaxy has been developed as a web based application so that you can you use it from any computer, anywhere in the world. If you have an account and access to the Internet, you have the ability to research and find awesome keywords and niches.
Jaaxy has also been thoroughly tested on many devices, browsers, and operating systems. It works. Whether you are on your iPhone, your Android tablet, your Macbook, or your home PC, it is going to work for you. Imagine doing keyword research while in the airport on your smartphone (I did the other day and it was pretty awesome!).
(2) Instant Domain Notifcation – If you are like me, you are a bit of a domain hoarded. There is just so much darn potential to buy and flip domains out there that I want to take advantage of it while there still are lots of good .com domains available. They won't be forever. If you told me four years ago that 2 word domains were going to be pretty much obsolete in 2011, I would have called you crazy. Well, they are and if you have a two word domain, it is likely worth $1,000+. The same thing is now happening with 3 word domains, but there are still a ton of awesome ones available.
If you have ever tried looking for domain names, you will know it isn't fun. It is painful and takes a long time and you will be lucky if you spend a couple of hours and actually come up with a .com domain that is available. Jaaxy has a built in feature that tells you if the top 4 TLD domains are available (.com, .org, .net, .info) and will also search out other variations with dashes in between.
Not only can you get a high quality domain ranked in Google easy (under the target keyword), it will instantly be worth considerably more than the $10 or so you buy it for.
(3) Catch the Competition With Their Pants Down – Your competition DOES NOT have the upper hand on you with Jaaxy! If you have been wanting to know what the top ranked sites are up to, now you will be able to click scan their pages and determine things like Meta Tags, Title Tags, word counts, keyword density, page rank, alexa stats, and MUCH MORE.
With a quick copy button, you can literally swipe their details and use their own data against them. This is very powerful for improving your SEO rankings and outranking your competition!
(4) Instant Trends & Ideas – There is nothing worse than having one of those days where you can't seem to strum up an ounce of creativity and come up with an idea or two for a niche. I know, I have those days sometimes…in particular on Friday's (I don't know why, guess my brain just gets tired). Anyways, we have come up with an awesome solution for this within Jaaxy.
Within the Brainstorming section, you will be able to get an overview of the day's hottest trends and products on the Internet. This information is pulled from several sources throughout the day, so every time you log in, the information will likely be different. Simply add one of these keywords to your brainstorming queue and perform a search on it. I actually did this a few times yesterday and I found 50+ low competition keywords, revealed niches I would have never thought of, and even picked up a couple of awesome domains. No initial ideas necessary!
(5) Truly UNLIMITED Searches – Most keyword tools have limits to usage with them. At Jaaxy we have decided to go to a true unlimited searches and usage within the system. If you are a member, you get unlimited access. Unlimited keywords, unlimited searches, unlimited domain look-ups, unlimited competition look-ups, and unlimited keywords lists and exporting! No more paying extra for every 100 more searches you want…
Why is Jaaxy priced so low?
Jaaxy is $19 per month for UNLIMITED searches and UNLIMITED use! After scouring the Internet and doing some extensive market research, the lowest comparable search tool I found was $69 per month. That didn't include the feature set and when I did some research on this particular tool (not mentioning any names), it wasn't broken and not working! Many search tools and packages were $199 – $499 per month, depending on the package.
We wanted a tool to be affordable….something that is always there for you when you need it. People shouldn't have to invest their entire budget into a tool. It doesn't seem right.
Jaaxy delivers the best search results out there, but it is lowest price. We want to keep it that way and keep our level of service high. We figure that if we overdeliver, you will be a happy customer. That is what our ultimate goal is. If you are a happy customer, you will be a long time member.

I think you know the RIGHT decision. If you have been struggling with keyword research or finding niches, you need to get your hands on Jaaxy, it will be your very favorite Keyword Research tool you have ever used.
People tend to be over analytical by nature when it comes to keyword research. You want to have that perfect keyword that meets all the required specifications and that has the right number of searches, little competition, low page rank sites, blah, blah, blah.
Take it easy on yourself. You are causing a fusion between the left side and right side of your brain that is only going to lead to poor efficiency. The less efficient you become, the less work you will get done.
Today I am going to break up some of the keyword fallacies that are floating around, tell you what data points you should care about, which ones don't really need to know, and this is going to save you a whole whack of time!
I am going to say this. There are only THREE things that you care about.
(1) How much competition does the keyword have
(2) Does it get enough traffic
(3) Does it make sense to a human being
How much Search Engine Competition
What would you rather do. Compete for rankings under a term that has 100 results in Google or one that has 100,000? There was some rhetoric in that question.
Obviously the one with 100. If you don't have access to this data or undestand how to find this data, then you should pay close attention here.
There are two ways you can get at the exact number of competing websites for a particular keyword. One is quick (but requires Jaaxy), and another can take quite a bit longer but it is still very effective and does not require the purchase of a tool.
When analyzing a keyword, you want to know exactly how many websites have the exact search term in question within them. To do this, you want to do a quoted search in Google and see how many pages Google has listed under that search term.
Here is an example:
"best guitar for beginner"
OK, so when you type this into Google, click Search you are going to be given the Google Search Results.
Since early 2010, Google stopped giving accurate results #'s for one reason or another (the number above is totally wrong), so to get at the most accurate results, you need to click to the very last page.
Click, click, click…until we reach the last page. Here is what the page looks like if we click the "5″.
There are really only 33 competing sites. This is in fact a great keyword, but if you took Google's initial results they showed you, you would have thought there were 29,500 sites. This throws off many marketers, but it is good for you now that you know the secret. There are millions of awesome keywords still out there that Google doesn't want to tell you about.
This is your true competition. You are ONLY competing with 33 sites online for this keyword!
We used to recommend that anything under 5,000 competition would be easy to get 1st page rankings under, but Google has recently done a big dump of duplicate content sites, so this number is now far lower.
To get ranked these days you want a keyword with less than 400 quoted search results. Don't worry, there are still millions and millions of these terms out there.
Or you can save a lot of time and spare your "clicking" finger by using Jaaxy as we provide the QSR right within the tool. This is simple and efficient and you can quickly get at any QSR for any search that you do right now. This has taken years for us to refine and is very technically sophisticated, but this will literally chop down your research time by hours per week.
Here is an example of the QSR for the query "best guitars children"
This literally took seconds and I quickly know that this keyword will be easy to get ranked under (in terms of SEO). The reason the Jaaxy results was slightly different than the search I did in Google was because the location of the servers that produced the results. Every location in the world will produce a slightly different results usually by a maximum variation of 5, thus the small disparity.
Traffic – Doesn't Have to Be Much to Be Powerful
Traffic is KING.
Well, that is a part truth, but without traffic you are not going to have people coming to your articles, your website or your blog. Without people, you have no effective way to earn money, capture leads or build a brand.
There are two types of traffic which people can get very confused about. People often times use keyword tools in the wrong way by searching "broad" traffic results. When you do a broad search, you in essence getting data based on every single variation of a search term. For example, if you were searching "how to build a website", it would take all sorts of subsets of this term into consideration when offering traffic data.
build website
website how to
how to build
to build
a website
This will provide you with very SKEWED data. What you really want to know is the EXACT match type. How many people search the exact term "how to build a website".
For more clarification on match types, visit Google's page.
Keyword Match Types Defintions
The metrics that I have always followed is more than 100 exact match searches per month. I know this doesn't sound like a lot, but if you if you set your traffic standards lower, it opens up far more keywords and typically far more relevant, long tailed keywords.
Let's look at the initial example again.
As you can see, it gets 170 exact searches per month and 36 QSR, so it definitely meets our "greater than 100 clicks per month exact" and "less than 400 QSR" criteria we have laid out. This particular keyword will be very easy to get ranked for within article directories or within your website pages.
Think of it this way…
If you have 100 keywords that you get ranked under on the 1st page that get 100 searches per month, you have access to 10,000 searches. Say 40% of these people click on your site, that is 4,000 clicks every month (48,000 per year)!
So by targeting keywords that are less competitive and may get a few less clicks, you are much more likely to get first page rankings in the search engines.
There is no point in getting rankings under search terms that get 1,000 exact searches per month, but you end up on the 3rd page because of the competition. This will lead to next to no clicks.
So the next metric you need to follow is 100 clicks or more, "exact match" type. You can use the free Google Keyword Tool (make sure exact match is checked off), or you
The Keyword Must Make Sense to a Human
Have you ever been doing keyword research and gotten a really strange keyword…that makes absolutely no sense…that is grammatically incorrect and you wondered who the heck would ever type that term in?
For example, one of the search terms that yield from a guitar search was:
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE: guitar s for beginners
Does this makes sense? No. What is happening here is Google has removed the apostrophe and added a space. The actual kewyord is "guitar's for beginners" but the most appropriate keyword to target would be:
MAKES SENSE: "guitars for beginners"
Well, you first instinct was correct. If a keyword does not make sense, it is useless. In other words, if someone would not type in a search term because it is peculiar, then chances are no one will ever search it.
Use your intuition. Of times Google will deliver a keyword that is has within it's database, but doesn't full make sense. I am not positive how they come up with these terms, but they ARE NOT instantiated by a human search. Chances there are internet "bots" out there searching for things.
So, remember these three keyword metrics to follow. First, your keyword must have less than 400 quoted search results (the lower the better), then your keyword must have more than 100 monthly searches (the higher the better), and finally the keyword must make sense.
And to avoid all the rest of the meaningless JUNK stats.
Yes, there is such a thing as too much information. It is in our nature to be too analytical, especially when it comes to making decisions that could potentially impact our business a livelihoods. BUT, do not become a over-analytical, end up accomplishing nothing, chart reading maniac.
The metrics I listed about are the main ones and you can get away with JUST looking at competition and traffic if you wanted to.

Chemistry is a big deal to a team. One of the best examples of chemistry last season was South Carolina. Their march early in the season last year as well as their bowl game thrashing of Ohio State proved that they had outstanding chemistry. One player on the South Carolina roster, Derek Watson, is threatening that chemistry.
It is Waton's fault alone that he is in the situation that he is in. It is not Lou Holtz's fault that his star player has a troubled past and that he cannot stay out of trouble. No, that is not Holtz's fault. But it is Holtz's fault for helping Watson ruin the chemistry on the USC football team.
What about the guys in Columbia that are busting their hump trying to win the SEC? Do they get pampered by Holtz? Not according to the reputation that he has developed.
The young men that are behind Watson in the running rotation are not being treated fairly. Derek Watson is now going on his third "chance" within the Gamecock program, and some of the players behind him have not been given a chance to win the position from him.
Originally, Holtz informed the media that Watson was suspended from any team functions. However, Holtz told The State's Michael Smith that Watson has been playing touch-tackle games with the rest of the Cocks since "a few weeks ago." How is that?
Was Watson suspended or not? Were the "voluntary", as Holtz put them, workouts really voluntary?
When you play sports on the Division I level, you do not have voluntary workouts. They are voluntary by name alone. Players are expected to be at all team functions, unless they are suspended. Which it seems that Watson was not, or was he?
Athletics director Mike McGee said in regards to Watson that, "He was restricted from team activities until he completed the program." The program that McGee refers to involves Watson doing "everything he was asked to do."
In terms of Watson's suspension McGee stated, "You make sure there is an equity to all this." Meaning that players' suspensions are based on a number of factors that included grades and "whatever else they have done." Would the same treatment be given to other players on the team?
The truth of the matter is this: If Watson plays or not in the first game does matter, if he plays Carolina will be a better team on paper. But the damage has already been done to Carolina chemistry this season. The chance that the wonderful chemistry that was developed last season by the Cocks has less and less of a chance of reoccurring the longer that the Watson situation develops in the media.
"But I also think our No. 1 obligation to each individual is to be fair and honest and help them," said Holtz.
That is not happening to all of the players on Holtz's team.

In an effort to contribute to safe motoring and making a meaningful difference in the lives of South Africans, the Automobile Association (AA) is aiming to empower vehicle owners through a one day course on what to check and look out for when travelling, as well as give them a better understanding of their vehicle, its operation and basic care needs.
�If you or your children are regular travellers, the chances are that at some point your vehicle may experience minor breakdowns, Where roadside assistance is some way off, knowing where your emergency equipment is stowed and how to use it could save you not only time but potentially a lot of unnecessary hassle and worry about safety� said the AA�s Technical Services, Divisional Manager Derek Hall-Jones.
It wouldn�t hurt to know what�s behind all those advanced safety systems that keep motorists out of harm�s way or why it�s important for them to do regular basic vehicle checks that will ensure a safe and hassle free journey. The course is designed to not only empower motorists to deal with the basics of niggley roadside emergencies but also to provide a better understanding and added peace of mind.
�The AA has contributed to safe motoring for many years and assisted many motorists in need. The Know Your Car Course is just another way that we at the AA are trying to be the champion of the motorist,� said Hall-Jones.
The course runs from 09:00 am to 15:30 weekdays and covers the following important aspects:
�We are aware that some people might not be able to attend mid-week courses so the course will also be available on Saturday�s depending on the number of people that are interested,� concludes Hall-Jones.
The price is only R350 per person and the price included tea, coffee as well as a light lunch. Anyone interested in attending the course can call 011 347 9300 or fax 011347 9305. Alternatively, they can email email@example.com or email@example.com.

A French investigation into a Las Vegas tech party is putting new pressure on President Emmanuel Macron's labor minister — and possibly the president himself — as they pursue difficult reforms to French work rules.
The Paris prosecutor's office opened a formal judicial inquiry Friday into suspected irregularities in the organization of a costly, high-profile event at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show that Macron headlined when he was a French government minister.
The inquiry is for "favoritism," but it doesn't name a suspected perpetrator yet, leaving it to investigators to determine later who might be at fault.

Believing its citizens are watching far too much porn online, the government of India has ordered Internet companies to block more than 850 sites.
From RT.com:
Puzzled customers of India's leading internet providers have been left with no access to porn sites after a government agency reportedly ordered the ban of 857 pages containing explicit material. Social media is abuzz with dismay and speculation.
In officially announcing the move, soon-to-be wildly unpopular Information Technology Secretary Ram Sewak Sharma said, "Under the Indian law, we are duty-bound to examine and block Web sites that transmit content that violate morality and decency."
While India has about 350 million Internet users, according to the Washington Post, the crackdown is expected to impact only 348 million of those users.
But the government's edict is expected to have ramifications beyond India's borders, observes Indian filmmaker and Twitter wag Hasan Zaidi:
The stakes are even higher than that. In this year's World Happiness Report from the Earth Institute at Columbia University, India ranked No. 117 out of 158 countries, trailing Iraq (112), Palestine (108) and Pakistan (81), among other benighted nations. If this ban continues, India might be looking up at Afghanistan (153) next time around.
This story, "India cracks down on Internet porn " was originally published by Fritterati.

= The journey of a lifetime
After his mother's death at the end of World War II, Jack Baker is suddenly uprooted from his home in Kansas and placed in a boys' boarding school in Maine.
Feeling lost and adrift, Jack can't help being drawn to Early, who refuses to believe what everyone accepts to be the truth about the great Appalachian bear, timber rattlesnakes, and the legendary school hero known as the Fish, who was lost in the war.
When Jack and Early find themselves alone at school, they set out for the Appalachian Trail on a quest for the great black bear. Along the way they meet some truly strange characters, several of them dangerous, all lost in some way, and each a part of the pi story Early continues to reveal. Jack's ability to be a steadfast friend to Early will be tested as the boys discover things they never knew about themselves and others.
Navigating Early is a story that will challenge and astound readers as they navigate mysterious and uncharted lands.
(From the book jacket)
January 10, 2012
One year ago today...
I received amazing news. It's not the only time I've received wonderful and life changing news. Other times:
18 years ago, the doctor said, "It's a boy!"
16 years ago, "It's another boy!"
14 years ago, "It's a girl!"
11 years ago, "It's another girl!"
9 years ago, "It's a dog!"
7 years ago... well, that must have been a slow year in the world
of amazing news, but you get the gist.
Still, January 10th, 2011 will forever be a day I will remember and celebrate. A day that will give me lots of opportunities to say to my kids, "See, amazing things happen... and they can happen to you!"
This past year has been filled with many wonderful experiences. Of course, one of the most special was the ALA conference in New Orleans where I received the Newbery Award. My family came out in full force, i.e. my husband and four kids, my sister, her husband and their four kids, and my mom and dad. I joked that we were like the Clampitt's riding into New Orleans. No, we did not strap Grandma to the top of the 15 passenger van, but we certainly felt like we had struck it rich and really enjoyed the cement pond at the hotel.
I've met many wonderful people, spoken at lots of schools and conferences, gotten some great fan mail. One of my favorites was from a 4th grader who told me he was glad that Kansas was now known for something other than basketball and weather! That's big noise, especially since Kansas is pretty much the birthplace of basketball.
So 2011 was a wonderful year but not only because of a special award. Other big events: Lucy got her braces off. Paul got his braces on. Luke crammed 80 high school kids in our garage for a dance and everyone survived. Grace's singing has not broken any windows... yet. (Lucy made me put that.)
And I finished my next book! It is called Navigating Early and will come out next spring. More on that soon.
So, life goes on and life is good.
April 2011
Okay. I've procrastinated long enough. Actually, I wouldn't call it procrastination. I just haven't wrapped my brain around the fact that people I'm not related to are actually reading my website.
I had a fun time creating this website last summer in preparation for the book coming out and part of that was because I approached it as if I was just talking to my sister, my kids, or my friend across the street.
Then January 10th rolled around and the Newbery seal went on my book, and all of the sudden people were e-mailing me, telling me something they had read on my website. I think that's when I froze up a bit and I gave myself the excuse of not updating it because I had to write my Newbery acceptance speech. Or I needed to prepare for upcoming speaking engagements. And those were valid excuses. But then, they became a little less valid – like I need to fold some laundry. Or I need to let the dogs out. Or I really need to change out that roll of toilet paper.
That's when I realized I had a bit of writer's block regarding my website. So I decided to go to go back to what worked the first time. I'm just going to write as if I'm talking to my sister, my kids, or my neighbor across the street - and just tell you what's been going on in my world lately.
In a nutshell, life has been wonderful, crazy, and very busy. I've had many invitations to speak at schools, conferences, book festivals. What a thrill to get to talk to so many people who are very excited about my book!
In fact, I would have to say that one of the most unexpected and most wonderful results of winning the Newbery has been the way my local community in Wichita and people across Kansas have embraced the book and celebrated this wonderful honor with me. It's like there's this big Newbery train and everyone feels free to jump on. And I love that!
I also love the fact that I've had some great help. While I was in New York immediately following the Newbery announcement, my sister and our good friend CY (C.Y. not sigh) came up with a To-Do list to help me in those busy days. Things like #4 – Make new business cards. #7 - Start a scrapbook. And my favorite one, #13 – get pre-loaded credit cards for CY and Annmarie.
We set up weekly meetings to help keep me organized. They consist of Annmarie and CY showing up at my house asking, "Is the coffee on?" Or "Can I fix myself an egg?" Then Annmarie's kids eat their breakfast at the counter and CY's son tells us how the Wichita State Shockers are doing. As soon as everyone's fed, the kids go off to play or watch a show and I clean up the kitchen. Then we start to discuss something, like updating my website, and then Annmarie's littlest one has to go to the bathroom. Then we start to talk about up upcoming event just in time for CY's phone to ring. Then I start to pull out my calendar to go over a few odds and ends as CY packs up to take Jake to school and Annmarie gathers up her kids. Then I go in the family room to pick up the monopoly game that has been "played with" and is now on the floor.
I get a lot done at those meetings.
But my daughter Grace did start a wonderful scrapbook full of Moon Over Manifest pictures and memorabilia, Annmarie did design some great new business cards, along with some for herself and CY giving them each the job title of "Assistant to the Assistant." They are still waiting for their fully loaded credit cards but I do make sure they get coffee and an egg once a week.
We're all chipping in and we're all having a great time.
Hopefully, I'll get another update in before long. I need to go change a roll of toilet paper.

Product Description
MHP's BCAA 3300 sets a new standard in strength-building sports supplementation by providing the most highly anabolic branched chain amino acid complex in a timed release formula. BCAA 3300 is the first and only supplement to deliver a highly anabolic 4:1:1 BCAA ratio, making it far superior to all other BCAA products on the market that use a 2:1:1 ratio.
The newest scientific research reports that the amino acid leucine is the anabolic powerhouse due to its major role in activating protein synthesis and simulating a higher rate of muscle growth and repair via the mTOR anabolic pathway. This makes leucine the most critical BCAA for promoting overall protein synthesis for peak muscle building. BCAA 3300 utilizes a highly anabolic 4:1:1 branched chain amino acids ratio that contains four times the amount of the leucine to isoleucine and valine. The unique timed release delivery system provides a steady supply of these key BCAAs. This allows for a continual supply and maximum absorption and utilization of these critical aminos for superior strength and muscle building, anti-catabolic muscle protection, energy production and recovery over conventional BCAA formulas.
MHP's BCAA 3300 is the most sophisticated, advanced anabolic BCAA formula available and is a must for all serious weight lifters and bodybuilders looking to increase their strength and muscularity to new extreme levels!
• Exclusive Highly Anabolic 4:1:1 BCAA Ratio

Gran Via
On April 4, 2010, the Gran Via was 100 years old. One hundred years before this date, King Alfonso XIII approved the papers to demolish many buildings on the route of the present Gran Via to be able to construct it. The street was supposed to copy the avenues of Paris created by the Baron Haussmann, but it turned out that it turned out to copy the streets of New York City.
One hundred years ago, where the Gran Via is today, there was a very dense city, with many buildings and very narrow streets. There were no big public spaces. This was the result of building within the old city walls.
In 1901 the city architects Andres Octavio and Jose Lopez Salaberry proposed joining Calle Preciados and the Plaza del Callao with Calle de Alcala. The City Hall approved the project and later the National Government. There was a bidding contest that would allow a company to expropriate old buildings in the way of the new street to construct the new road. In 1909 the French banker Martin Albert Silver won the bid to start the project. It was in 1910 that the King Alfonso XIII inaugurated the demolishment of 334 old buildings in the right of way of the new street.
The Gran Via joined Calle de Alcala with the Plaza de España and Calle Princesa. This street soon became the street of large stores, hotels, luxurious offices, movie halls, jewelry stores, clubs, casinos, private clubs, luxurious bars and restaurants.
There are several beautiful buildings on the Gran Via. The Edificio Metropolis is at Alcala, 49, at the corner of the Gran Via. The architect of this building was Jules et Raymond Fevrier. This building has a cupola that has the sculpture of Winged Victory (Victoria alada) that was created by Federico Coullaut Valera in 1975.
The Telefonica Building is located at Gran Via, 28. It was constructed in 1929 by the architect Ignacio de Cardenas. The upper portion has touches of the Giralda Tower of Seville, and this building was the highest building in Europe for many years.
The Edificio Grassy is located at Gran Via, 1 and 3. The architect of this building that was completed in 1916 was Eladio Laredo. The top of this building is graced with a two story temple that has slender columns. This building has the shape of the prow of a ship.
The Edificio España is a tower at the Plaza de España, at the end of the Gran Via that is 117 meters high. Its style is Neo-Baroque and the architects were Joaquin and Julian Otamendi, and the building was finished in 1953.
The Torre de Madrid is another tower at the Plaza de España, and is 142 meters high. It was built between 1954 and 1960, and the architects were Julian and Jose Maria Otamendi. It used to be the tallest building in western Europe for a few years.
The Gran Via is also the Broadway of Madrid because it has many theaters, such as the Coliseum.

How many days/weeks did you bleed after pregnancy
I bled for a month (4 weeks) after my pregnancy, then spotted once the following month and haven't had one since. I'm also breastfeeding still so my hormones have been causing my period to be irregular.
I finally stopped bleeding all the way at 12 weeks. The serious stuff lasted about 10 weeks and the next 2 were just spotty here and there.
Moms Expertise03/25/14
I guess I am lucky too. I only bled for 3 weeks but it was really light and spotty after the first 4 days after giving birth. (that may be contributed by the fact that I hemorrhaged and had to go to surgery for a torn cervix 5 hours after I had her.) I have not had a period since and my little one will be 4 months old next week. I am also breastfeeding.
Period picked up at 12 weeks. No cramps though?

Featured Characters:
- Superman
Supporting Characters:
Other Characters:
In the game, the player controls Superman on a quest to save the city of Metropolis from the evil Lex Luthor and a gang of criminals that were exiled from the planet Krypton.
The game had an overhead map of various locations in the city that the player can travel to, with animated scenes, but then the gameplay would switch to a more traditional side-scrolling adventure game.
Superman has an energy (Super Power) bar and he can collect various icons in the game to use a limited supply of one of his item powers: x-ray vision (make certain enemies visible), superflight, super spin, heat vision (laser attack), and ice breath 1 and ice breath 2 (freeze enemies). A main difference aside from the comics was that Superman's x-ray vision was used to make invisible enemies visible. The instruction booklet explained that glitch by claiming that "Superman is now unable to see inside buildings, as Lex has lined all the buildings in Metropolis with lead!" Aside from the item powers, Superman can also jump and punch. Players start out the game as Clark Kent but can change into Superman (provided that they have enough Super Power) by entering into one of the phone booths that are scattered throughout the city. However, taking sufficient damage from enemies would cause Superman to become Clark Kent. Whenever Superman entered the Daily Planet building he would always revert to Clark Kent, no matter what his power level was. The game also came with an area map that split up the districts of Metropolis and allowed Superman to use his superflight power to quickly change areas. Occasionally a "Help!" signal would appear on the map, such as a person being mugged, to which Superman could fly to that area immediately and aid the person in need.
At the end of each city level, the player a different boss and gives each end of chapter victory an animated front page of a Daily Planet newspaper displaying their success. The second to the last chapter boss in the game is Lex Luthor. This is followed by three fights in a row against the exiled criminals from Krypton; Ursa, Non and General Zod at the "Statue of Freedom", which looks like the Statue of Liberty.
The cast of this Video Game are unknown.
- Only appearance of Ursa and Non (villains from the Donnerverse Superman movies) in a videogame.
- No trivia.

Here is a look at some of the news that made the news in the Kankakee Valley this week:
No one was hurt in a Saturday morning train crash in Knox. U.S. 35, East Division Street and North 300 East were closed so crews could clear the wreckage. A Norfolk Southern employee was performing maintenance on the tracks when a train collided with the service truck. It had been parked on a set of parallel tracks at the time of the accident. The employee was not in the truck at the time of the crash. It took crews nearly four hours to clear the wreckage and open the roads.
North Judson-San Pierre Superintendent Lynn Johnson reported an increase of 25 students in the recent Average Daily Membership, or ADM count. This is an approximate increase of $125,000 in funding to the school corporation. Johnson said this was great news for the corporation after it has suffered funding losses for the past several years.
Republican State Representative Tom Dermody has been endorsed by Farm Bureau and he accepted that endorsement last week at the Northern Starke County farm of District One Indiana Farm Bureau Director, Larry Jernas. The state board recently approved the endorsement after locally interviewing Dermody and the recommendation was passed to the state level. Dermody was excited for the endorsement and said he's had a long-standing relationship with Farm Bureau. Agriculture is important in this area and he pledged to help agricultural communities and to listen and help farmers.
An overcrowding situation in the LaPorte County Jail reportedly caused a mini-riot Friday afternoon. A floor of the LaPorte County Jail was closed last week after the LaPorte County Council denied payment of $70,000 for overtime and the prisoners in that part of the jail were placed amongst other cells in the jail. On Friday, inmates refused to lock-down into their cell and deputies had to use tasers and pepper spray to bring order to the population. Sheriff Michael Mollenhauer said no deputies were hurt in the uproar. He's afraid more instances like this will happen if the County Council does not approve the overtime funding for adequate jail staff and the reopening of the wing in the jail.
Knox-Center Township fire crews were called to Taco Bell in Knox Monday after an electrical issue started a fire by the drive-thru window. Fire Chief Kenny Pfost said an extension cord plugged into an outlet may have overloaded the circuit and caused the fire. The breakers did not trip. The fire was put out with a fire extinguisher by the employees before the fire department arrived at the scene. The business was closed for approximately three hours.
A Starke County Sheriff's deputy approaching Jay Dollahan's residence in Knox shot and killed a dog last week as the officer felt the dog was displaying aggressive actions toward him. The officer was serving civil court papers and noticed a "Beware of Dog" sign but continued walking toward the home. Dollahan said his dog ran out of the front door toward the officer in a manner which he claims was not aggressive. The officer indicated that the dog, a pitball, charged out of the home and barked and growled at the officer. The officer raised his weapon and Dollahan screamed at the officer not to shoot the dog, but for his safety, the officer shot and killed the dog. Sheriff Oscar Cowen and Chief Deputy Bill Dulin spoke to Dollahan and said the deputy was justified in shooting the animal because his safety was at risk. Dollahan insists that the dog was not aggressive and the officer should have communicated differently after seeing the "Beware of Dog" sign.
Fred Koman faces Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated-Endangering charges after a single vehicle accident in Starke County Sunday afternoon. Koman, of Knox, was traveling on Toto Road west of U.S. 35 and for unknown reasons, left the road and struck a concrete drain. Emergency crews arrived on scene and extricated him from the vehicle. He was later airlifted from IU Health Starke Hospital after suffering a broken or fractured neck and an injury to his arm. After an investigation, police found that Koman was intoxicated at the time of the crash and has a preliminary charge of Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated-Endangerment.
Knox Park Superintendent George Byer reported to the Knox City Council Tuesday night that cleanup at Wythogan Park should be complete by today or tomorrow, but work will continue toward the back of the park. At least 100 trees need to be cut down in the back of the park, but the walking trails and the general park area is open to visitors. More than 125 tree stumps were ground down along the walking trail. The Council approved a request to spend $1,500 to remove two trees near the wastewater treatment plant.
Brandon Zachary and Jonathan Cortez were arrested last week after allegedly stealing a desktop computer and printer from a home in the west 9000 block of Toto Road in North Judson. Zachary allegedly admitted to police that they were at the residence and saw Cortez steal the computer and he allegedly threw it in a ditch. Cortez reportedly told police that they were at the home but were looking for a lost cell phone. They were detained and led police to the location of the stolen items. Police found the computer and printer in four feet of water in a ditch on 875 West, south of 2150 South in LaPorte County. The LaCrosse Fire Department assisted the officers in retrieving the stolen property and Cortez and Zachary were arrested on Burglary and Theft charges.
Ryan Taylor was on trial in Starke Circuit Court this week as he faces charges of Arson. It is alleged that Taylor set a car on fire and the state and the defense indicated a disagreement in who owned the car at the time of the fire. In opening arguments heard yesterday, the state claimed the car rightfully belonged to Taylor's mother and Taylor had no right to destroy the car, while the defense argued that the vehicle did belong to Taylor and he had every right to burn it. The car reportedly had mechanical issues and the repairs would have exceeded the value of the car.
Three soldiers from Starke County arrived back home this week after serving a one-year tour of duty in Afghanistan. Clinton Jordon and Jared Dietrich were escorted, by convoy, to the Knox VFW where a welcome home ceremony was held. Jordon said this day was one he worked hard for and it was great to be back. Dietrich added that the whole thing was surreal and is excited to see what the next few weeks has in store for him. Another soldier who returned home yesterday was Tim Watts, a 2004 graduate from Knox High School.
Henry Allen of North Judson was arrested Thursday after he allegedly fired a gun at a neighbor's home. The bullet from the gun went through a teenage girl's room and grazed her back. Police asked Allen why he was shooting a gun and he said he was shooting at a gourd. Then he allegedly told police that his neighbor fired the first shot and he was shooting back at him. Officers indicated that Allen may have been impaired at the time of the incident and took him into custody. Allen faces a preliminary charge of Criminal Recklessness with a Deadly Weapon, a Class C Felony. He remains in the Starke County Jail under a $100,000 surety bond.
