Who searches a keyword " Horoscope"?


Eventually, I happened to use Microsft Keyword Prediction Tool.
I did not expected this result.

Keyword Forecast: adCenter Labs
click the left picture and see larger image.

These are what I see.

Microsoft also has these interesting tools.
I like Microsoft's this unfancy looking approach but it produces useful tools for our "business".

What will lead you to be rich?

To become rich, some points of this article say
101 Tips to Help You Make Money Doing What You Love | How to Make Money Doing What You Love


Above all, I am impressed the response of the author to all of the comments there. There are some people againsg "Get a Psychic Reading", and this is his response to them. I felt in this country, this kind of matter is rather controversial issue .

@Herb Sewell: Two years ago, I would be right there with you Herb, completely skeptical and labeling all psychics as charlatans. Having studied magic and mentalism with a professional magician for over two years also added to my skepticism especially since I saw first hand how “secret magician techniques” like cold reading etc. can be used to give the appearance of psychic abilities, when in fact it’s all just “trickery”.

However, today, after doing some investigating and personal testing I am convinced that there are people out there with real abilities. I’ll definitely admit that probably the most majority of the “commercial psychics” like the psychic hotlines and stuff are all scams, but if you dive into the world of “psychics” a bit and do a bit of reading you’ll actually find out that the real psychics out there hate those frauds just as much as we do.

In any case, there is absolutely nothing I can say here that could ever convince you that the possibility of psychic powers is real, because there was nothing I read that convinced me. The only real way to get convinced is to try it out for yourself. That’s what I did. I wrote a post about it on my old blog if anyone’s interested in reading: http://www.selfhelpwisdom.com/index.php/2007/08/01/an-interview-with-a-psychic/

So, in short, to answer your question, I am completely serious about #48.

Before you judge me as an idiot for falling for such “crap”, look around and see who else out there believes in psychics. You may be surprised what you find.

Fortune-Telling for Entertaining only

Entertaining a pundit's views - Times Online
The new consumer protection regulations that come into effect on Monday have caused uproar in the astrology world. Fortune-tellers are outraged that they will be forced to give disclaimers stating that their service was not “experimentally proven” or was for entertainment only.
hmmm.

Legislate Fortune-teller for what?

From SFGATE
S.F. may soon see psychics regulated / Pioneering proposal would ban trickery

I read this little bit old article about the legislation towards fortune-tellers. This rules psychics to acquire permits to do their business for $500, and requires them to post rate cards and a phone number.

On the background of this issue, there are fraud cases like,
Police fraud inspectors say dozens of San Franciscans lose large amounts of money every year to fortune-tellers who charge $500 and up for weekly visits and who dupe clients with sleight-of-hand demonstrations of their "powers."
And there are some questionable psychics who have done a classic curse removals, in this way.
The tricks, banned under the new law, include the knot in the thread (the fortune-teller makes a knot disappear) and the blood in the glass (the fortune- teller asks a client to spit into a glass of water, then secretly adds black dye to show the client is cursed).

Also banned would be the hair in the grapefruit (the client rubs a grapefruit on his body and covers it with money, and the fortune-teller then plants a hair inside the grapefruit to prove the money is cursed, and keeps the money) and the buried money in the graveyard (the fortune-teller promises to bury a client's "cursed" money in a graveyard, but keeps it instead).

I felt some strangeness. For me, as a Japanese, the ways of fortune-telling are different than Japanese fortune-tellers. it seems more ritual here. And lately, fortune-telling has become more casual. That is, there are no women fashion or lifestyle magazine without horoscope.

Let's back to the story, the point of this is there are swindlers using fortune-telling stuff to delude the victim, They are disguising themselves as fortune-tellers.

And in this industry, the customers consult with fortune-tellers are so serious that they tend to spend a lot money. Swindlers take advantage of the point.

This kind of people deprive fortune-tellers of citizenship. That's why this legislation is made in order to put up a obvious boundary between swindlers and fortune-tellers. I think this rule is to support real fortune-tellers.

Lastly, I put the line of this article.
Peskin said fortune-telling is an "age-old industry that is welcome in San Francisco" and said he did not want to discourage legitimate, modestly priced psychics, seers, tarot card readers or sellers of fortune cookies, a plate of which was on the table where Peskin spoke.


To SFGATE
S.F. may soon see psychics regulated / Pioneering proposal would ban trickery
