			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Answer Analyst is Jonathon Leger&#8217;s latest Software.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eY-MEwLmctQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eY-MEwLmctQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I am a big fan of Jon Leger and this software fits well with my thoughts on Internet Marketing.</p>
<p>The internet search engines are getting smarter.  This software is designed to help you write better more educated information.  This software is more about getting information for you to write about than it is about taking someone else&#8217;s information and posting it on your site.  I do not believe long term that there is a future for duplicate content.</p>
<p><strong>Duplicate Content Killer</strong><br />
The search engines will eventually relegate duplicate content to the back pages of their index where it should be.  They will try to rank the first of this content and forget about the rest of it.  The lower rated article directories will get worse and worse ratings.</p>
<p>This software is unique.  It uses Yahoo Answers, Google Answers and  Ask.com to find both the questions in a niche that people are asking and the answers to those questions at the same time.  This is a great way to learn and write about a Niche.</p>
<p><strong>Build your own Content</strong><br />
Answer Analyst is designed to help you build your content quickly.  The quicker you can research and learn what you are writing about the better your content will be.</p>
<p>Try <a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/80713/Zbikenut/22697137/" target="_blank">Answer Analyst Video Review from Jon Leger</a>.  He has a 30 day full refund policy.  I do not think you will need it.</p>
<p>My long term plans are simple.</p>
<ul>
<li>Build more content and this program will speed up that.</li>
<li>Build more links to my content.</li>
</ul>
<p>I believe that is the simplification of internet marketing.</p>
<p>This is a Dofollow Blog.  Add a good link and we will give you a dofollow link.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Answer Analyst is just being released Feb 2, 2009.  Jonathon Leger is legendary in Internet Marketing.  He is a great programmer with a focus on Web Marketing.  He has been in the trenches so to speak for years building programs to make Internet Marketing easier.   He is very well known for his other Internet marketing programs.</p>
<p>He designed <a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/16329/Zbikenut/2341606/" target="_blank">3-way links</a>,  <a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/77566/Zbikenut/22699762/">1 way links</a>,  <a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/47145/Zbikenut/22698358/" target="_blank">Instant Article Wizard Pro</a> and more.  His programs are simple, well thought out and effective.  I have a discounted rate available for the 3-way links program.</p>
<p>I purchased his 3 way linking program when it first came out.  At the time I was only building a couple of websites and I could not use his system with either of my sites.  Neither of my sites used PHP.   I used his support system and they were very helpful.  He refunded my payment with no problems.</p>
<p><a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/80713/Zbikenut/22697137/" target="_blank">Answer Analyst Review</a> by Jon Leger</p>
<p>What is Answer Analyst?  It is a simple program that will help you research virtually any subject for article writing.  You put in a keyword you are researching and the program will go out and retrieve articles that answer your question.  The program will also bring back the Url of the site where the program found the answer.  You can then select the answers you like and save them into a research file.  The information you glean from this can be used to quickly outline and then write your article or articles.</p>
<p>This is a one payment plan.  With Instant Article Wizard Pro it is a monthly fee.  The first version of Instant Article Wizard was a single pay plan.  The Answer Analyst is a lot like the first version of Instant Article Wizard.  The abilty to collect a large batch of information that you can selectively save to your research page is a really great way to research a new subject.  Check out the free Demonstration of   <a href="https://paydotcom.com/r/80713/Zbikenut/22697137/" target="_blank">Answer Analyst by Jon Leger</a>.</p>
<p>I will be purchasing this as soon as it is released.  I will update this page then.  Stay Tuned.  You can check out my other page on <a href="http://imbyrick.com/answer-analyst-video-review/" target="_self">Answer Analyst Video Review</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a different hobby.  I used to watch a bit of Television.  I now watch very little.  I used to sell stuff on Ebay. I sold over 10,000 items on eBay between 1999 and 2005.  I now sell less than 200 items a year on eBay.<br />
<strong><br />
<a href="http://imbyrick.com/">My Internet Hobby</a></strong><br />
I surf blogs to come up with knowledge and ideas to write articles about.  I usually have 15 started articles on my blog.  I just checked and I currently have 21 in progress.  I title them and start the article and save it as a private post.  I finish off a couple and schedule them to post every week.  This way I always have articles to post on my blog.</p>
<p>I have another hobby that I do at the same time as I am researching articles.  I am a comment poster.  I post comments on most of the articles I read.  I have several Blog identites.  If the Blog I am reading is really good or I feel like it I will post on that article from a couple of identities.</p>
<p>I always try to make good relevant comments.<br />
Often I will copy the comment into my blog and then write an article with my comment as the base of the article.</p>
<p><strong>Three Hobbies in One</strong><br />
I really like reading other people&#8217;s blogs and this way I get a lot of learning, links and articles written at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>IM by Rick.com</strong> is a Dofollow Blog.  If you leave a relevant comment you will get a nice juicy Dofollow link.</p>
<p>Learning and writing about what I am learning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am very ADD.  I go a lot of directions most of the time.  Often intensely for short periods of time.  I am often working on several articles at once and I am working in a few different niches.</p>
<p><strong>Document Storage</strong><br />
I have had trouble storing documents on my computer.  I work on 6 or 7 different computers.  I end up with a bunch of partially done articles and they are stored on different computers.  I end up not working on that computer for a while and by the time I get back to it my thoughts have changed.  Sometimes I have an additional thought for the article and I can not find the article.</p>
<p><strong>New Document Storage Plan</strong><br />
I am now storing my partially written articles on the website they will go on eventually.  Almost all of my sites are now on the WordPress blog platform and I store the future articles as private posts.  When I finish the article I can save it and set a post date or just have it go live.</p>
<p><strong>Blog Timing Issue</strong><br />
There might be an issue I have not worked with yet.  If I change an old post from private to live it will keep the old date.  I think I can cure this by setting the post date in the future.</p>
<p><strong>Access While Traveling</strong><br />
Another advantage to this is while traveling I can go in and write or finish articles and not carry anything with me.</p>
<p><strong>Previous Failed Attempts at Article Storage</strong><br />
I tried using a USB storage device but I always left it in the last machine I worked on.  I tried using a laptop but I don&#8217;t like carrying one with me all the time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a big fan of Ezine Articles.  Why?</p>
<p>Simple answer.  While playing around in the last few days &#8212;actually hard work.  I built and submited 5 articles to several different directories.  I won&#8217;t mention the other names but they are all the top rated in some of the top ten lists around.</p>
<p>Any way it is 4 days later.  I just checked, and one of my ezine articles went through right away and two more went through a couple of hours ago.  Traffic.  The article that went through right away has already had 118 people look at it and 14 of them have gone to my website&#8212;this website&#8212;.</p>
<p><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/zbikenut/?action=view&amp;current=P1000451.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/zbikenut/P1000451.jpg" border="0" alt="Pattee Canyon Missoula, Mt" /></a><br />
Pattee Canyon Missoula, Mt</p>
<p>I just checked some of the other directories.  One of them all six articles are up.  One article has been viewed 6 times one 5 and the others once.   There have been a total of 16 people look at the articles and I believe 6 of those were the people who okayed the article.</p>
<p>Traffic to your articles is what Ezine articles offers.</p>
<p>How you write your articles matters.  I think there are two ways to write an Ezine Article.</p>
<p><strong>Going for the Click</strong><br />
One way is to go for the reader to click the link to go to your website.  In the articles that I have gotten over 15 percent of the readers to go to my website I get very few uploads of the page to other sites.   My best going for the click article so far got over a 40 percent click through rate.  It was a freak.  I have only written a few that have gotten over 25 percent but I am still going for the 40 percent click articles.</p>
<p><strong>Going for the link</strong><br />
If you write a good informative article but do not push hard to get the reader to click to your website then more ezines and more websites will use your article on their site.  This will get you more back links.</p>
<p><strong>Going for both Clicks and Links</strong><br />
You can resubmit the article with a significant rewrite after a few weeks from your previous article being accepted.  If your first article went for the click your second article can go for the link.  It is fun to play with changing around the title to see what works better also.</p>
<p><strong>Most Important Part of the article?</strong><br />
The author box is the most critical part of your article.  Pull the curtain down and tickle them from behind the curtain.  Make certain that they  want to go to your website to scratch the itch you created. <strong> </strong></p>
<p>I have started writing long author boxes.  I put a link early in the box with the keyword for the article linking to one of my websites.  I then write another informational paragraph.  I then close it up with my name and the other link to my site.  The first link becomes truly an in content link.  According to the testing done by Jon Leger, Yahoo ranks a in content link higher than a link page link.</p>
<p>I have found Ezine Articles to be the toughest to get articles through.  They are good practice for submitting articles because they force me to write better articles.  Thanks EA..</p>
<p><strong>IM by Rick is a dofollow Blog</strong>.  I give you link love for your comments.  Spread the word.  Link love given from IMbyRick.com.</p>
