Genesis is a paid theme, so you won't find it in the search tool. However, you can organize your search by features you are looking for within the Wordpress theme search area.

The Genesis framework is a paid theme and you'll find it here. http://www.studiopress.com/ Once you have the framework installed then you choose your child theme.

I've never found a search tool but I'll look for websites in my niche and then find out what theme it is by going here http://whatwpthemeisthat.com/
Nathaniell also did training for this Discover Plugins And Themes From Other Wordpress Websites I intend to purchase Genesis when funds allow, have heard nothing but good about it and I know Jay here (magistudios) favours it!

Hope this helps. :)

I use WA Keyword tool, and besides that I use http://ubersuggest.org/, http://keywordtool.io/ and sometimes this one http://keywordtool.mobilepress.org/ Loes

Yes you are allowed 30 free searches. It's just inviting you to join for unlimited searches. That decision is up to you.

The 30 free searches means that you can make 30 unique searches for any 30 keywords you will like to look for. It has nothing to do with the search results. The search results only display a portion of the entire keyword search results when your membership is FREE. But displays all the search results when your membership is PREMIUM

Don't know I have a premium account which it wouldn't recognize this morning

Yes you are right. But, we must not be too rush as we need time to build our foundation. So, what we need to do is take time to follow the lessons provided here step by step and this will lead us to a result. By the way, my progress is slow as I have to read few times to completely understand and remember the content:)

I've been a webmaster since 2004. I believe it is better to begin your website as soon as you can, in my opinion.

I say this because the logistics of managing your website is a bit of a learning curve. Setting up your first site will help you go through this learning process. When you get more advanced then you can tear the first site down and start your real site.

There are a lot of technicalities with creating a good website. Many decisions to be made. Set up a practice site and have fun with it.

Now about training, the education here can be used to become a webmaster with affiliate links promoting other people's and businesses products. The green tab on the left is for that sort of training.

If you are interested in promoting WA then that is a whole different ball game. You will need to go through the black tab on the left called Affiliate Bootcamp.

I promote WA because I think it is the best place for "new to online marketing" folks to get good training. I also promote other people's products on my site. I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket.

Hope that helps ... GrampaMike

Personally, that's what I did. I did my own niche sites for 2 years before starting a WA site. But everyone has different goals. For many people, they understand that affiliate marketing works and do not need "proof". They are happy just referring people to WA from the get-go.

Totally depends on your own goals!

It will be difficult to manage both sites though, unless you are really time efficient and a hard worker :)

Thanks Tommy. One of the reasons I signed up with WA was because Nathaniell had created results. As a newbie you don't have any results, so how do you help the "greener newbie" out?

I did it right away so the new members I brought in pays for my membership here. That way it took the pressure off me so I could concentrate on my niche sites.
