Keyword Tools: List of SEO/PPC Tools

Keywords And Finding Topics That Your Client's Is Interested In Wordtracker is a tool offered by a company that provides 12 free searches.  I'm not super sold on its grand ability, it took the phrase IT Managed Services and tied into it "movie star planet", "management definition" and "managed service provider", among others.  My concern is that management definition as a keyword is of no use or value to an IT Managed Services company.  The next two terms are so broad all the industries out there will be searching similar words and your chances of paying for a false positive

I say be “Trumped” because for all that he did wrong in traditional campaigning, he did Political SEO better than anyone had before. I’ve always been a political guy.  I love using technology to those political ends.  Earlier this year I was able to leverage my experience in SEO, Adwords, cloud computing, data analysis and web design for a political candidate. It’s why these unique products are bundled into what I offer through Upwork.  Today there is no excuse for a candidate to neglect digital media needs.  Local candidates can easily benefit from a solid online presence for much less

Data Studio Demo Report

I’ve shared a Google Data Studio Report about Louisville crime over the last 10 years that I made in an effort to demonstrate some of my reporting and data experience. The target audience for this is Upwork contracts that I am seeking to pick up. Its a cool tool though that I’ve used to make a lot of helpful reports. Its populated real time from an SQL server I have running on Google Cloud Platform.
