Discover the power of this easy-to-use tool!
Last week, Chris Knight shared a video called “Your Keyword Leverage Strategy” that explained how to use keywords and keyphrases to dramatically increase the performance of your articles. In this video, he talked about the EzineArticles “Traffic Search Terms Tool” and the value it brings to your article marketing efforts.
Since then, we have received many requests for more specific information on how to use this tool. It really isn’t complicated, but like anything else it can be a bit mysterious until you learn just how simple it really is.

We tried to recreate that problem on our end but everything works fine. Your comment is the only one we’ve gotten thus far about this problem, so I believe it may be on your end of the pipeline.
