This is the first video of the Maverick Keyword Researcher. There isn’t any audio in the video yet but I will add them once I have recorded some audio and created a loopable background music. I didn’t want to wait till everything was “perfect” before releasing this video.

The 5-in-1 Google Tool

What I would like to point out with this video is how you can combine 5 Google keyword sources (Google keyword suggestions, Google related searches, Google synonyms, Google Insights for search and Google search-based keyword tool) into 1 easy and convenient tool.

Using the Google tools directly can be an extremely troublesome process because you may have to copy and paste the keywords into another application. Some tools like the Google AdWords Keyword tool allows you to export keywords into a text file but not all Google tools have this feature.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I moved from Thailand to Malaysia at the end of January and it has been really hectic and stressful. A lot of things have changed in my personal life…

I am now living in my Dad’s retirement house in Klang, Malaysia. Klang is in the state of Selangor, west of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. It is right between the capital city and the most important port in Malaysia, Port Klang. It is not as developed as Kuala Lumpur and I am struggling to get around town because the public transport is very limited and there aren’t a lot of taxis outside of the town area.

My Dad’s house is new so it requires some renovations and it has been pretty messy and noisy during the initial week I was here. The pruchasing of furniture/household items, unpacking, cleaning and organising took up a lot of …

I have experienced some obstacles in finalizing the Maverick Keyword Researcher because of the changes made to Google’s search engine.

The only official way of getting data from Google is through their APIs. I wish I could get all the data I need from the APIs but unfortunately, that is not the case. Even if I could get the data I want, it may not be accurate once I verify it with a manual search on Google.com.

Number of Google AdWords Ads

I used to get the number of Google AdWords ads from the “More Sponsored Links” page but it has been closed by Google due to low usage. Please check out what happened to the “More Sponsored Links” page.

What that means is I need to try to get the number of ads another way. The Google AdWords API will not give me the number of ads as a specific number. Instead, …

If you have reached this blog post, chances are you were redirected from VincentRich.com via a 301 redirect. I have decided to close my internet marketing blog, VincentRich.com, after 5 years due to the following reasons:

1. Google de-indexed VincentRich.com for some unknown reason and I could not get it re-indexed after more than 3 months.
2. I have lost interest in maintaining the blog.
3. I would prefer to focus on this blog to focus my efforts and simplify my life.

The best posts have been moved to this blog. If you’re wondering how I merged 2 WordPress blogs into one, please check out my posts on:

• Import/Export Posts from WordPress to WordPress
• How to Use 301 Redirects to Redirect a Domain

I am really sorry about this but I really need to focus my time and energy on this blog and the launch of the Maverick Keyword Researcher.

A 301 redirect is a status code your web server recognises as a web page or link that has permanently moved to another location. To find out what Matt Cutts of Google thinks of 301 redirects, please check out the following web pages:

• Google’s Matt Cutts Talks About Redirected Links & Nofollowed Links
• How to Know if a 301 Redirect Counts

301 Redirect a Domain

The simplest way to create 301 redirects for an entire web site would be to create .htaccess file with the command below and upload it to the public folder of your web site.

The “#” sign is a comment syntax for the .htaccess file. In my example, I was redirecting my old blog, VincentRich.com, to MaverickWebCreations.com. The slash (/) after “redirect 301″ tells the Apache server to redirect all HTTP requests on VincentRich.com to MaverickWebCreations.com. Please note that the …

I recently did an export of most of the posts of my internet marketing blog to this blog. It was quite simple actually. Simply click on the Tools -> Export link on the left of the WordPress admin sidebar to export all the content from a WordPress blog to a XML file.

I had a feeling it would not be so easy but I thought it would be worth a try because I get to move the attachment, tags, comments and pages to my destination blog.

At my Maverick Web Creations’ blog, I selected the Tools -> Import link. I had to upload the XML file I got from the export to import the content. After the long wait, I could see that over 400 posts/pages were moved over!

The hard part was sorting out the categories and delete the unwanted posts/pages. I should have deleted the useless content before exporting/importing content …

I have conceded in the struggle to get my internet marketing blog, VincentRich.com, back into the Google index. I have checked my content and outgoing links to see if they have violated Google’s rules.

The problem is Google did not give me any specific example of how I violated their rules. I find that extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact violation of their rules. To make it easier for myself, I decided to delete the blog and move some of the posts to this web site.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I added a lot more features that I originally planned and it just took longer and longer.

I am almost done with the Maverick Keyword Researcher. I moving on to the testing  phase, creation of the sales page and other documentation. I am considering creating a license file to go with the application to let the application expire on a certain date to prevent unauthorized use of the application.

Maverick Keyword Researcher will be sold on Clickbank.com with Clickbank’s affiliate program system so a mandatory 60 day guarantee will be included.

I shall introduce all the features of the Maverick Keyword Researcher after I have uploaded the screen shots.
