1. Keyword research review - Part 2, lateral searches
=====================================================

The more Craig uses the new free adCenter keyword research tool, the more enthusiastic he gets about it.

Do try it. You'll be surprised how useful it is.

Here's the second article in the review series Craig is doing...

How to Lateral Search with Microsoft's adCenter Keyword Tool
http://www.KeywordWorkshop.com/articles/50/1/How-to-Lateral-Search-with-Microsoft%26%2339%3Bs-adCenter-Keyword-Tool

The keyword research tool is free, so there has to be a catch, right? The first catch is that to use it, you need to have a copy of Excel 2007. Craig gives you a link to a free trial version.

The second catch is that it won't work on a Mac. I guess we had to expect that from Microsoft.

======================
2. $50 worth of clicks
======================

If you're quick, you can still get $50 worth of free adCenter clicks - but you'll have to be quick because the offer is nearly over. It ends after February 29, 2008.

You can often get good quality, cheap traffic from adCenter, so those $50 worth of clicks are worth grabbing.

[UPDATE: The "$50 worth of clicks free" offer has ended. However, you can sometimes get free clicks if you keep an eye on the main page at PayPerClickSearchEngines.com.]

3. Achieving your childhood dreams

Millions have watched various versions of this...

Randy Pausch is dying of pancreatic cancer.

On September 18, 2007, he made a "Last Lecture" to his students. It's called "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams".

You may think you don't have 76 minutes to spare to watch this. Just watch a few seconds and see what you think. If you're like me, you'll be hooked. Randy Pausch is quite extraordinary.

You can watch the "Last Lecture" video in the archived version of this newsletter...
