For those of you who are looking for “a few good keywords” … or even a huge pile of good keywords, you’ve come to the right place.
Theme Zoom’s ‘The Last Keyword Tool’ (TLKT) is an international keyword tool that is so powerful and completely configurable as to virtually replace all the other keyword tools in your arsenal.
How is that possible, you might ask – each and every tool out there has it’s own unique selling point – one or more pieces of information that only THAT tool offers.
Find out how…

I am not promoting this program to make a quick buck. I am talking about it because I love the potential and simplicity- and the fact that it will integrate with our own online market research and keyword research programs. I am wanting you to get ready for what is coming as we integrate the new Theme Zoom tools as well as the Krakken Blueprint software into the truly Awesome Bizzites platform.

For those less technical people, much of the information in this book can seem overwhelming and difficult to implement. I admit that there is a small learning curve for the web-savvy, and a large learning curve for people who are just starting out on the web. But the rewards of VOMA (Vertical Online Market Analysis), Website Silo Architecture (WSA) and Theme Mirroring (TM) are great. There are several things that happen once you manage to turn these three knowledge assets into a well-oiled machine.

Larry Page: A lot of our systems already use learning techniques. The ultimate search engine would understand everything in the world. It would understand everything that you asked it and give you back the exact right thing instantly. You could ask ‘what should I ask Larry?’ and it would tell you. Technology has a tendency to change faster than expected, and I believe that AI could be a reality in just a few years. People always make the assumption that we’re done with search. That’s very far from the case. We’re probably only 5 percent of the way there. We want to create the ultimate search engine that can understand anything … some people could call that artificial intelligence.”

Forgetting about LTV (lifetime value) of my customers was costing me money because it kept my attention on “low hanging fruit keywords” instead of “Vertical Market Themes”. This was one of the largest missed opportunities ever.

When I was studying with Bruce Clay in 2004, one of the big topics of training was how to properly silo a website for a client. As I recall, Bruce spent many hours trying to explain it to the students in his class. Only a few managed to grasp the concept effectively even when he drew everyone an explicit picture:

For example, you really should not put a keyword in the non-visible part of your web page (meta-data and meta-tags) that is not also in the visible text of your website. In theory, this could harm your long term rankings. (All of you cloakers and black hatters can ignore this comment, because I can hear your thoughts). But the fact is that the search engines, and especially Google, will penalize you for having inappropriate keywords in your meta-data or “technical website under the hood.” This is why the “technical agenda” deserves its own keyword category. The technical agenda is a complete school of philosophy all on its own.

When you use Krakken to create a silo structured blueprint you have automatically created a template for themed PPC landing pages that Google will love. If you theme your PPC landing pages, you will discover that your PPC keywords have an increased Quality Score from Google, which will lower your overall PPC bid prices.

I remember one of the major pains as an SEO/SEM consultant was uncertainty about “what to do next” upon completion of vertical keyword research. Most of the keyword research tools on the market only gave me “ad-hoc” results with no clear direction as to where to put the keywords they suggested. It was a very obtuse process

A big problem faced by SEO/SEM experts (and marketing consultants) is that it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish yourself in the marketplace. There are tons of keyword research and competitive analysis tools on the market . . . and many of them are providing superficial data. Furthermore, most SEO consultants are providing the same tired old “get-higher-search-engine-ranking” pitch. I have talked to hundreds of SEO/SEM customers seeking assistance over the last five years.

High level theme keywords are keywords that are worth spending the time and money to own. Low hanging fruit keywords are often times not even worth a meta-tag and description. They are still very useful to have on your website, but it is important to put them into perspective within the overall structure of your website, blog network, or inbound link campaign.
