CSI (Season 1) DVD Review

Nominated for 20 Emmys and 6 Golden Globes, including Best TV Series - Drama, CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) quickly rose to become the number one show on television following its Fall 2000 premiere. The brainchild of creator Anthony Zuiker, the show follows the investigations not of traditional TV detectives working the streets, but forensic scientists who unravel complicated crime mysteries in their ultra-modern laboratory. Either the #1 or the #2 Nielsen rated show since the start of its second season, CSI has helped CBS to reemerge as the #1 network television station, spawning (similar to predecessor Law & Order) two series spin-offs CSI: Miami and CSI: New York. Each exciting hour-long episode begins with the theme song "Who Are You" by The Who, a song more than befitting of a show where criminals are aggressively tracked down, sometimes years after committing their crimes

CSI focuses on the Las Vegas Police Department's Crime Scene Investigation nightshift unit headed by Gil Grissom (William Petersen), a quirky outsider whose obsessive quest for the facts and dedication to his work dominates his life. The CSI team is composed of a number of individuals with differing backgrounds and personalities - single mother Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) specializes in blood-splatter analysis, the highly competitive Nick Stokes (George Eads) specializes in hair and fiber analysis, recovering gambling addict Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) specializes in audio/visual analysis, and the rambunctious Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) specializes in materials and element analysis. Throw in hard-nosed homicide captain Jim Brass (Paul Guifoyle), CSI understudy Greg Sanders (Eric Szmanda), and lab coroner Al Robbins (Robert David Hall) and all the ingredients are present for a show wrought with suspense, drama, and tension. As transients from all walks of life travel to Las Vegas to enjoy the wonders of its adult playground, increased levels of crime accompany them, and the team at CSI is determined to stay a step ahead of the criminal element

The CSI DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the series premiere in which Grissom investigates a murder police believe was staged to look like a suicide, but only minute tidbits of physical evidence are available to work with. Meanwhile, Warrick and Catherine investigate a local drunk who was shot to death while breaking into the home where he was staying, and Nick investigates a robbery Other notable episodes from Season 1 include "Friends & Lovers" in which Grissom and Warrick investigate the murder of a man found naked in the desert while Catherine and Nick investigate the murder of a school's headmaster by the school's founder, and "Too Tough To Die" in which the CSI investigates the rape and attempted murder of a woman abducted from a mall parking lot

Investing In Keyword Research Tools

When marketers start tinkering in search engine optimization (SEO) or in paid per click (PPC) advertising the lure of "free" draws in new search marketers like moths to a flame. The most well known "free" tool out there is the Yahoo/Overture Inventory tool. Aaron Wall of SEOBook.com has also has an expanded version of the Yahoo! tool, by adding in the subjective search totals from Google and MSN via a calculation of roughly twice the number of searches in Yahoo! for the Google total, and 1/2 the number of Yahoo! searches for the MSN total.

These tools are great to give a general idea for keyword research and at first, seem like the best source of information out there. They are also a great way to find alternative keywords that you might not have thought about. If you are a search marketer who is just starting out, these tools are a great help in helping your clients, whether they are internal or external, figure out just where it is they want to go keyword wise.

At some point, search marketers have to move beyond the lure of the "free". Why? Skewing of the keyword is why.

The best example of skewing with the free keyword tool from Yahoo! is the term "Halloween Costume". If you started to build a site for your Halloween Costume store back in February and started planning for your PPC budget in February and you were utilizing the Yahoo!/Overture tool, you could be highly disappointed come August, September and October. You will likely have blown through your budget if you based it upon the search numbers from February and March since no one is "searching" for Halloween Costumes at that time of year.

This is the primary reason for subscribing or purchasing a keyword tool that can give you a full picture of the traffic keyword produces in searches. I've worked with a few tools, and no one tool is going to give you exactly the data from all the search engines, however, the tool that comes closet is Trellian's Keyword Discovery tool.

Keyword Discovery is by far the best tool out there to give you a year's worth of information on a keyword. You can see the trending, the peaks and valleys, and also which engine the keyword is strongest in. KWD also allows you to see views of keyword performance in EBay and shopping engines like Bizrate, Froogle, Nextag and more.

By investing in keyword tools, you can punch up your value to your clients as you can understand a keyword's life cycle. You can also understand they nature of the keyword's performance in the various engines and shopping sites with tools like Keyword Discovery. Utilizing these two powerful tools can put your far ahead of other search marketers, because in the same amount of time they are utilizing the free tool and calculating "projections", tools like Keyword Discovery have given you at least 3 times as much information. In today's world it is all about working smarter, and smart is investing in the tools to get the job done right.
