People express what they think of for search terms the one that is the most relevant. Therefore email marketing roi becomes more relevant as demonstrated by the increase from "email roi @55,900" to email marketing roi to 199,000 (which is more concise). Interestingly enough when someone is setting up to rank for longtails they should go with the ones with the traffic in place. With this search there are very few possiblilities to compete with 8 or 10k so it's not viable as an SEO project. Which you may be thinking where's he coming from?

The latter is likely Negligent Homicide. I just thought it important to show the results of the unconsciously incompetent can be quite devastating. Just look at what havoc the previous President of the U. S. wreaked. The fact that he might not have known exactly what he was doing and, to boot, has apparently been handsomely rewarded for it, doesn't change the pain the rest of us are enduring as a result.
