I agree with Irohner!
You can do without MS and still find the hidden gems. It just take a little longer to find them. Not to mention that keyword research is repetitive and boring at times.

No you shouldn't work hard. You should work *smart* instead. I'm surprised that you earn less than a dollar a day with your keyword-rich hubs. posted 4 months ago#
Bingo! Everyone is looking for *certainty*.
