Welcome to the forum Mary, SAC is a fantastic place to learn the ropes of IM quicky. The best way for a newbie to use craigs techniques are to market a niche or product with not much competition in google. I'm marketing a few smaller niches at the moment, target keywords with around 50 searches a day and very small competition in google and you will be on the first page in no time. Then move on to better keyword terms.

Good Luck with it all

Keith Ireland!
