T1 Baltimore 19:33, 26 December
That was great! Lots of points I had not thought about. I am a telecom broker focusing on the market for T1 lines in the Baltimore, Maryland area. I help companies source their T1 connections for both voice and data. In acting as a Telecom consultant, I also have had to learn more and more about internet marketing. There is a lot of competition out there for me to deal with and reading this guide has opened my eyes to a lot of other possibilities in marketing my telecom services through using different keywords and ways to figure out which ways will work for me. I think one of the first things I am going to do is write a research guide for How to buy a T1 line using a lot of the keywords recomended by wordtracker and make it avaiilable for download on my website - just like you have done here. Thanks so much for everything!

For your keyword research try using KeywordSpy - a keyword research technology that will help you know what keywords your competitors are using and how it generates money for them, you can use those keywords to drive traffic to your site and give your business the exposure it needs. It offers Free trials.
It goes with a ClickBank Affiliates Search Engine where you can see the actual market landscape at ClickBank.

Baltimore Computer Repair 01:38, 27 January
Hi. I really liked the report. I am working on getting my computer repair web site set up for marketing to the Baltimore Maryland metro area. I am really interetsted in some of the things the report said about identifying niches such as computer repair for senior citizens which is one of the niches we excel in. I am going to be creating pages for the different niches and also creating educational articles on each niche. I thought it might also be helpful to create educational pdf files that can easily be printed by our prospective or existing customers. Computer repair is a fairly competitive business, so I will be using many of the ideas presented. Thanks so much for this educational report - the various things I have read from wordtracker.com have been excellent training materials. If you are ever in the Baltimore Maryland Area and want to get together to talk about computers or seo just check the contact info at my link.

I wish I did a better job remembering to recommend this guide to some of the newer people who visit my site. I haven't quite found the proper placement.
Even though I've advertised extensively myself on the PPC networks and have used WordTracker for years for some reason the existence of this guide, although when I do remember I like to come back to it as a refresher.
