Hi, Scott! You should be able to open it with Open Office (which is free) for the MAC. That should do the trick.

Well, the BILT doesn't use SEOT as a measure. It uses search traffic. So they're really different measures. Plus, because the BILT is an entry level product, the standards are higher.

Heh... it's the best software and sometimes it really screws up. Which is a sad waste of time.

It seems that the high cost answers (checked only few) in google answers comes from people/organizations that probably are interested in this information for the purpose of making their own product or for doing research... I doubt that many people will be willing to pay such amounts without this purpose in mind. Am I wrong?

Hi Gina. Not displaying the SEOC and SEOTC values just happens sometime, even in the paid version. The software displays accurate data, but sometimes it has trouble displaying the data. Despite that, the software is still the best out there for our purposes.

Oh no! They keep on stripping away more and more free content from that. At any rate, you can just use the SEO for Firefox exntension instead. It will do the same things.

I'm so sorry Allison. Perhaps you could install skype. That would really bring down costs.

There's an ability to moderate calls with the system I'm using that can't be implemented with Skype.

So sorry. Can you use skype for free?

Re: The “Freedom Business Roadmap”

The only way to really test a market in 24 hours is with using PPC traffic. And that involves spending $$$. Usually between $500 per product. And I'm coming to find that most people in Project Mojave do not want to spend this kind of money. "Testing" a product will real traffic is called "dry testing," whereas testing an idea based on the numbers is "virtual" testing. I've spoken to enough Mojave members to establish that most members do not want to spend $500 on dry testing, especially if they can create a product in 1 week. So that has lead to a shift on focus.

With regards to question #2, what I've outlined here is not a business model. It is a pattern for rolling out freedom businesses. Clickbank products are not businesses. With regards to social media, I can point you to TONS of information marketers who use social media.

But you question still stands . . . and my answer is that most successful information marketers (myself included) have followed some variation of this process. The (1) find a market, then (2) create a product, then (3) create a sales process, then (4) make their first sales, etc.

Thanks for the very timely reply. Just to clarify, I'm not Scott, I'm Allison. I just copy-pasted his question because it was the same as mine. :)

Thanks again!

Hi Scott. I'll always do my best to provide answers here. I'm really sorry about the confusion. I like to see at least a gravity of 15 if I'm going to sell a specific Clickback product. But if I just want to verify demand for a type of product, then a gravity of 5 works.

Regarding what to do with your numbers . . . I recommend going with the market/product that has the highest number. Since a lot of the judgments are subjective, there really is no hard and fast number, sadly.
