Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for carm.org

Queries that provide opportunities for this site to advertise through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to get more traffic. They are popular queries that are relevant to the site, and have low competition in search engine marketing. Learn More Many sites are actively advertising in search engines for the most valuable search queries. This high level of competition tends to result in high advertising costs, which makes it difficult to find attractive advertising opportunities. These opportunities may still exist, however, by looking at the "long tail". The long tail contains search queries with lower Query Popularity, but such queries also tend to have lower QCI. By advertising for many of these queries, sites may still be able to manage an effective search engine marketing campaign. Note that not all queries on the long tail may be very relevant to this site, but this list may contain a number of strong advertising candidates.

Comments: I can't truly remember how I discovered Alexa earlier this evening, but I will attribute it to God knowing that I needed some excellent advice. I was amazed at the number of topics that I found myself reading, with a true hunger to continue searching from one topic to the next. Everything I had a question about, was quickly answered in terms that are easy to understand. I wish that I could have more time now to continue reading, but I have added several of the articles to my documents, and will continue visiting this web site, probably daily! Thank you for all of the helpful, encouraging information.

Comments: There is nothing more strange and hilarious than reading one heretic beat up on other heretics. This site has some redeemable merit but, it is not easily navigated without a deep understanding of the very content presented. The first thing the visitor should consider is that the content provider Matt Slick is a silver-tounged follower of the cult of John Calvin. In a nutshell, Calvin teaches that reality is a sort of morality play that God puts on. We are all acting out our lives based on written scripts and have no control over the outcome. All are doomed *except* those elect who believe what Matt slick believes. Matt Slick's God will punish all who are not in agreement with John Calvin. He could not be any more disconnected from Christianity found in the Gospels except he reads from it and somehow "magically" knows the proper interpretation. Everyone else is wrong, doomed and not worthy of discussion (blocked) on the carm message boards. John Calvin created his own idea of God with nothing more than a book (the Bible) and his own imagination. If he tried to pass off his wacky take on Christianity to any Christians of the previous fourteen centuries, they would only barely recognize his cult beliefs as Christianity. The bulk of the doctrine presented is bizarre to sensible people. To hear an interview of Matt Slick you may wonder like I did, "The guy does not sound ignorant, why does he believe this Calvinist nonsense?" One can only guess. I give it two stars because the site is well organized and easy to navigate. He did a fair amount of research on mormonism and proves that it is not christian anymore than the cult of John Calvin is not christian.

Comments: As we approach the time for another Presidential election, the bias of those that own and run this site, become more and more obvious and the way tthat their forum is moderated allows the very worst of comments about one party and deltes support for the other party. For an organisation that claims a tax free status, this would appear to be in total violation of the IRS rules governing the tax free concession! Is this fair on other 'religous' websites that do stick to the letter of the law, or on the rest of us who pay our taxes? Rude comments about Michelle Obama's appearance from those calling themselves 'Christian' also undermines any credibility the site may have had.

Comments: My primary reason for writing this review is the lack of credibility of the site, due to the quality of the moderation of the discussions there. Moderation is a thankless job, done by volunteers, however the CARM moderators appear to have significant biases and agendas that one has to assume reflect the prejudices and bias of the site owners. This is remarkable, in that CARM seems to be the worst of the Christian forum websites, in terms of hate-oriented and prejudicial speech used by the monitors, let alone what is allowed by these monitors, as long as that speech supports the agenda of the site. When the moderators attempt to do their job, it appears that this is done to support these prejudices and agendas, rather than attempting to moderate the discussions for the convenience of the site users, the way most Christian sites perform this job. The net effect of this type of enforcement of policy is to destroy the credibility of the site, as it establishes that the purpose of the site is not "Christian Apologetics and Research", but to provide an environment to libel those who do not agree with the site, rather than creating an environment for intelligent and scholarly discussion between adults. I would avoid CARM, as it appears the site owners have no interest in promoting intelligent, rational, scholarly discussions, but rather are more interested in promoting and supporting unsubstantiated blind assertions, reflecting agendas of prejudice and hate. I can only assume that the rest of the site contains the same derogatory and unsubstantiated information, which renders the site useless for any kind of research or scholarship.

Comments: CARM really is one of the best sites around for locating helpful information about Christian ministries, organizations, articles, etc., which is exactly what is needed in our day and time. NO site is perfect but I'd still recommend it to those who need to research the above mentioned items, in order to have a Christian option that matters when you need it. I was directed to the site while searching the net from another website, I found it to be quite informative, love the content, as far as changes not too much that I can think of (except to may add ministries that maybe flying under the radar, which could be harmful to others, but those in which we can still pray for).
