The web is full of articles, tips and ebooks on keyword research. Almost all of them explain how easy it is to find keywords by pressing a few buttons in some software or web application!
Keyword research is an extremely important part of marketing your online business and is not as mindlessly robotic as clicking a button!
Here is a special report on strategic keyword research. Right click and select Save Target As or Save Link As to download and save the pdf file to your hard disk.
Here is a quick tip! You can sort the domains in Domain Punch Pro in order of the domain extensions (TLD or ccTLD) by simply clicking on the # column (click twice to sort in reverse order).
This can be turned off from the Application Settings option in the Config tab. If this is turned off the # click will sort domains in the original insertion order.
The Windows version of SEO Lab Pro supports creating PDF reports.
So, how do you create similar PDF reports using the Mac OS X version?
The Mac OS X version doesn’t support direct PDF reports, but you can create PDF outputs using the native print menu option. All the data table displays within the software can be printed into PDF.
You can also right click (or ctrl-click) within any of the display lists and use the menu option to copy the table to the Mac paste-board. Then paste the data into your favorite spreadsheet or text editor to create your own formatted reports.
If you have a lot of domain names managed through Watch My Domain ISP, you probably make use of domain categories to group them.
Any domain category you create in Watch My Domains ISP is stored on the database using the following Boolean field name.
GRP_<category name>
For example, if you have a category called “Business Domains”, the corresponding field will be
GRP_Business Names
Any domain that belongs to “Business Domains” will have the above field value set to TRUE.
With the above information, you can construct SQL queries. Here is an example query that lists all domains that do not belong to the “Business Domains” category.
SELECT * FROM [Domains] WHERE ([GRP_Business Domains] <> 1 OR [GRP_Business Domains] IS NULL)
You have to do the NULL check because the value may not be set for many domains.
You can also do multiple checks. The following will list all domains that do not belong to the “Business Domains” and “Important Domains”
SELECT * FROM [Domains] WHERE ([GRP_Business Domains] <> 1 OR [GRP_Business Domains] IS NULL) AND ([GRP_Important Domains] <> 1 OR [GRP_Important Domains] IS NULL)

All our domain name portfolio management software tools (Domain Punch Pro, Watch My Domains ISP and Pro) include a diagnostic port 43 whois lookup tool.
This is available from the Config Tab > Popup Whois ribbon button (Tools > Popup Whois Tool menu in older versions).
To check a domain name type in the whois server and the domain name into the appropriate boxes and then click ‘Go’.
The port 43 whois tool is very handy if you have problems looking up domain names.
If the tool is unable to connect to any whois server, one of the following is true.
If the tool is unable to connect to a particular whois server alone, it is possible that your IP address is bannedat the whois server or the whois server itself is down.
In some cases you can use the whois tool to determine the valid whois serverfor a country or top level domain by querying whois.iana.org. For example to find the whois server for query whois.iana.org for it. Now look through the whois output and you will find the whois server listed as
Whois Server (port 43): whois.nic.it
There is a lot of confusion about the use of “Alt” attribute for images. A number of SEO guides suggest inserting keywords into ALT tags. The truth is that the “Alt” attribute started getting misused a long time ago.
Here are two different “official” recommendations for using the “Alt” attributes.
“Several non-textual elements (IMG, AREA, APPLET, and INPUT) let authors specify alternate text to serve as content when the element cannot be rendered normally. Specifying alternate text assists users without graphic display terminals, users whose browsers don’t support forms, visually impaired users, those who use speech synthesizers, those who have configured their graphical user agents not to display images, etc.”
W3C recommends caution while using the Alt attribute because using meaningless (keyword stuffed or irrelevant) alternate text will slow down user agents that must convert text to speech or braille output.
“Supply alt text when using images as links- If you do decide to use an image as a link, filling out its alt text helps Google understand more about the page you’re linking to. Imagine that you’re writing anchor text for a text link. “
The recommendation from Google to use Alt attribute for links is sort of counter to the W3C recommendations. The correct attribute to use for links should have been the “title” attribute.
Supply alt text when using images as links- If you do decide to use an image as a link,filling out its alt text helps Google understand more about the page you’re linking to. Imaginethat you’re writing anchor text for a text link.Avoid:writing excessively long alt text that would be considered spammyusing only image links for your site’s navigation
