Re: How do you use Marks' article spinning software?
Just tried to use this software, following the instructions offered in this thread.
Still getting same errors, regardless if I [carefully|methodically] phrase my sentences. I've tried using [only|just] one pair of words per sentence, and I've tried using [multiple|several] pairs in a sentence, all giving the same error.
This tool [could|would] be very valuable [if you could use phrases|using phrases] instead of just single words like [dog|cat]. I've tried both, and getting the same error as above no matter what I do. If someone can offer some clarification, that would be great!

Re: KWP Q: Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
thanks for the replies. much appreciated.
Even tho im in a niche with a healthy gravity, im finding it hard to reach 20+ articles without them being extremely similar (Im focusing on content that will convert, not just add content).
Perhaps I misunderstood Mark's instructions on choosing a niche with 2-3 products I can promote.
help me understand if this is my error:
Choosing a product, instead of a niche.
I chose "rocket ship building" since I saw 3+ products talking about building rocket ships from home with cardboard and a black marker.
Since the kwp's for the above "product type" are all the same, Im having trouble finding enough quality kwp's to produce 20+ articles
My mistake is that I chose a product instead of a niche. Am I correct in this assessment?
Compare this to World Of Warcraft, from the AFB example, which is a niche, not a product.
WoW books on:
Gold
Leveling
Crafting (specific crafts can each be a separate product)
PVP
Playing/Speccing certain classes/professions
While there may be a product out there that combines some or all of these guides, these are in fact separate products with their own targetted traffic.
I am fairly certain this is the mistake I made, but wanted to spell it out for clarity, and invite comments and suggestions, and lastly to help others avoid this error.
-thanks again

How exact do I need to be with my keyword phrases?
Hi all, first post, new to the program and glad to be here.
Im getting ready to start writing my articles, but have a question about keywords...
Im promoting products on DIY rocket ships (not really), and want to know if I should write a separate article for the following similar terms:
"How to build rocket ships"
"How to make rocket ships"
I typed search queries into google for one, and got results using both words. This I presume is because google knows these words are similar and interchangeable.
I considered three options, but wanted advice on which would be best...
Option #1: Write headline for one, but optimize for both within the article.
Option #2: Write separate articles for each, but word the titles in a larger sentence, such as: "how to make a rocket ship" and "build rocket ships at home"
Option #3: Simply write separate articles and use both keyword phrases exactly as they are.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks

Cultural Conflict – Do we need to start thinking globally in our marketing?
The U.S. used to be called the melting pot of the world because of our "diverse" ethnic makeup, however we have changed to a multi-cultural nation, which has given rise to political correctness. We are no longer a melting pot, we are more akin to a tossed salad, which is divisive, not diversity.
Regarding Political Correctness, and I'm using the german here, I could give a "Mist." As a native american indian, who knows a little about racism, prejudice, and stereotypes, I feel it's important to speak against political correctness at any opportunity.
That being said, there is no question I would change my site or advertisement in a heartbeat if it offended my target audience (unless it was intended). I would also change the advertisement if it were found to offend an entire culture of people, if their complaints were justified.
A major difference in the KFC example above, is that they are deeply rooted in the US culture! How could they not know the AU ad would be found offensive to black americans? They may as well have had a watermelon bouncing on his knee! That was a very short-sighted advertisment by a company with an international presence. Although, I still laughed when I saw it from my "US" perspective. I get a good laugh out of those evil stereotypes, no matter who they're about.
Personally I wouldn't worry about it too much either way. I'll do my best to advertise in the most effective manner for my target audience. I think the majority of people understand when an honest mistake has been made...I seriously doubt the people in Taiwan were fooled by Pepsi's promise to bring dead ancestors back to life. It may have been perceived as insensitive to the conservative culture there, but again, people know when an honest mistake has been made.
Adjust if necessary, then move on and let the people of the mist find another PC opportunity.
