I'll have to try using long-tail keywords. I actually never thought about it carefully enough, the more targeted the keyword, the cheaper the ad (less competition) and the higher the conversion rate (would be more targeted to what the user is searching for). Many thanks for answering my question! Many thanks for answering my question, Andrew!

I checked out the feed and it looks like the latest episode published an swf file instead of the usual mp4 file. (See this link http://feeds2.feedburner.com/helpmybusiness?format=xml ) Is this a permanent change or is the another feed we can use for mobile devices? Thanks! Marcus Watkins Hi,

It was blank on the back side. I called the company and asked if they would like to repeat the same insert at half the price. They said yes and we inquired if there was an additional cost for printing on the back side. They said no and we proceeded to place our ad for residential cleaning on that side. This was a real win-win. The costs were cut in half and we all produced sales. I found an insert in the paper for a carpet cleaning company. It was blank on the back side.
