There is no setup to be done. Once the extension is enabled, you simply visit any supported website and the keyword metrics will show up automatically. Just google for a keyword and the keyword data should be seen under the search box. Visit Google Search Console or Analytics, and keyword columns automatically appear inside the table.

If you are having any issues with this, please do email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to figure out why its not working for you.

Additionally, if you see the source code, you can see that there is no tracking information sent to the API - only the keyword.

There is also no way to send requests to the Google API to get keyword data.

The API url used is right there in the chrome JavaScript code, as mentioned by someone else on this thread. Very easy to write a simple script to send random words to the API.

If I listen to anything new, I cannot focus on the programming.

(a) Brand new extensions - it will depend on whether Google considers the specific tld as a global tld (like it does for .io and .co). If so, then ranking in the search results may not be a problem.

(b) Global extensions like .io, .co - there are ample examples of startups that have used an "io", "co" or "ly" domain extensions. customer.io, intercom.io - startups are better of buying a $50 domains name, than spending hundred of thousands of dollars on getting the .com version of a popular word.

Traffic Penalty: There will be some loss from type-in traffic. But people have been posting domain names directly in the search engines, so its likely that type in traffic has decreased substantially. I see this as not being important in the future.

Trust & Brand Penalties: If the customers are not early adopters, then there might be a trust penalty as very few people have even heard of the new domain extensions.

Try listening at 2X or 3X while lying down with your eyes closed. Apparently, your brain will start to engage your visual cortex for listening and the speed becomes quite manageable.

I have found that people who enunciate every word they read in their heads read a lot slower than those who can pattern match (without reading out the word in their head). I belong to the earlier category and have friends who belong to the latter. No matter how fast I tried to read, I could never finish a novel in a night (like the others did).

It's really easy to see which one are you - try and read a line of text making sure you do not read out the words out in your head. If the line makes absolutely no sense to you, you are like me. The text pattern needs to be converted into audio, which then links to meaning. Maybe its just the way our brains are arranged.

What has worked very well for me is listening to books on audible. I can easily listen to most books at 2X (and sometimes 2.5X) the speed of narration. A typical large book (like the recent one on Elon Musk) is about 14 hrs narration. I could successfully finish the book in less than 7 hours - something I could never do if I was just reading it. I also feel like I retain more, although I cannot be sure of this without more data.

This is a critical security release. The cross-site scripting vulnerability lets a commenter compromise your website.

The only way to know is to keep running A/B tests.

SendGrid - $5/mo

Facebook Ads - $200/mo (roughly - not fixed)

It is important to understand that over time people develop banner blindness - your ad could have copy providing a lot of value, but the human brain would simply be ignoring it. I would suggest A/B testing with different types of ads, with different copy and call to actions.

One more suggestion is that you can build an email list. It might be slow at start, but over time as the list grows, you no longer have to depend on users coming to your website and clicking your ads. You can contact them directly in their inbox. Obviously don't spam them with useless emails - offer them something of value in every email and try to email them every month (or every week if you can). People also react differently to emails since they are more personal and if you build up trust, it should be a lot easier to get their attention.
