Using Google Keyword Planner (and Other Tools Instead) for Keyword Volume

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 04:24 PM PDT

Posted by Ruth_Burr

While far from a perfect tool (seriously skewed toward "commercial intent," not always inclusive of trend data, difficult to drill down into local terms), the Google Keyword Tool was one of the best keyword research tools available. The keyword volume numbers were more trustworthy than other keyword tools, simply because they came right from the sourceâ€"who better to know what kind of search volume keywords get than Google itself?

With Google's recent announcement that their free Keyword Tool has gone away, replaced with their integrated PPC tool the Keyword Planner, a cry has gone up from SEOs: "What do we do now?"

Google Keyword Planner pros and cons

With the advent of the Keyword Planner, Google is making a strong statement that they'll continue to focus on supporting PPC advertisers rather than organic search marketers. To that end, the Keyword Planner is heavily focused on PPC ads; you even have to sign up for an AdWords account to use it (although you don't have to enter any payment information, and would only end up paying for the tool if you created and launched an ad). That said, the tool definitely retains some SEO utility.

Pros of Google Keyword Planner:

Users can now view keyword volume on a hyper-local basis; I was able to view search volume not only for the Oklahoma City area, but even drill down into Norman, the smaller OKC-area town where I live. This is great for businesses doing local and hyper-local SEO to get a better idea of the volume and competition in their geographic area.
The tool divides keywords up into suggested ad groups; this is designed to be a PPC-focused feature, but does provide some insight into which keywords Google deems to be semantically/topically related.
The "multiply keyword lists" feature allows you to search on combinations of words from two different lists. This allows you to combine your terms with modifiers such as location or color and compare search volume without having to concatenate in Excel.
Users can filter out keywords below a certain search volume, so you don't even have to look at them.
Since you have to be logged in to use the tool, users aren't limited to 100 words like we were with the logged-out version of the old tool.

Cons of Google Keyword Planner:

The ability to select Broad, Phrase or Exact match has been removedâ€"only Exact match data is now available.
"Average monthly searches" is calculated over 12 months, meaning the Keyword Planner isn't a good place to research trending topics. Use Google Trends for that.
The option to only search for words closely related to your term has been removed. However, Google has said they will probably add it back in.
Device targeting is goneâ€"no more segmenting volume for desktop vs. mobile searches. This means volume numbers are, in general, higher for the Keyword Planner than they were for Keyword Tool since those two buckets have been combined.
"Local" vs "Global" search volume is no longer automatically displayed. Instead, Global (which Google is now calling "all locations") is the default and users must drill down into specific locales for local search volume. To me, the added functionality around location targeting makes this a mixed blessing, but users will probably miss the easy comparison of seeing Local and Global side-by-side.

Alternative tools for keyword volume

Of course, for some of us, this latest example of data hoarding on Google's part is the last straw. Here are some other places you can look for keyword volume. Since the Google Keyword Tool was free, I kept these options to tools that are free or have a free option (which is why I didn't include the Moz Keyword Difficulty and SERP Analysis tool, even though I love it, since it's only available to paid Moz subscribers).

Google Webmaster Tools impression data

Anyone with a Google Webmaster Tools verified site can view how often their site has shown up for certain keywords.

Pros:

This data still comes from Google itself.

Cons:

Because it only shows how many impressions your site got from a keyword, GWT Impression data can't be used to research terms you're not already ranking for.
There are disputes about the accuracy of the dataâ€"the consensus among SEO pros is that it's less reliable than the Keyword Tool data was.

Bing Keyword Tool

The Bing-provided alternative to the Google Keyword tool goes a long way toward making up for the tool's departure. It's what we use in our Keyword Difficulty and SERP Analysis tool.

Pros:

Users can narrow searches by date range, to more accurately track recent search data.
Recent keyword volume trend data displays alongside other metrics.
A "strict" filter acts like the old "closely related" filter in Google's Keyword Tool.
The tool is in Beta, so it's likely we'll continue to see more features and improvements as the Bing team keeps working on it.

Cons:

Because this data comes from Bing, which has fewer users, all search volume numbers will skew lower than they would in Google.
Geographic drilldown is only available at the country level.
Users must be signed in to a Bing Webmaster Tools account with a verified site in order to use the tool (but you should be checking Bing Webmaster Tools anyway, it's free and there's a lot of good stuff in there).

WordTracker

Good old WordTracker. This was the first tool I ever used for keyword research and it's still plugging along.

Pros:

Their proprietary Keyword Effectiveness Index gives a gauge of how competitive each keyword is for the amount of search volume it generates.
WordTracker partners with SEMRush to provide paid users with paid search data as well.
Users can filter results by match type: "keywords in any order", "exact keyword inside a search term" and "exact keyword only" as well as "related terms."

Cons:

The full tool requires a paid subscription (starting at $69/month) to useâ€"however, there's also a free version that offers less functionality: Global searches only, no SEMRush data, and only 50 results per search.
Users must create an account with a valid email address to use the free tool.
Depending on which version of the tool you're using, WordTracker data comes from one of two sources: a "major search engine advertising network," or from metacrawlers such as DogPile, which search multiple search engines at one time. Since only a small portion of searchers are using metacrawlers, the sample of searches may be skewed based on the demographic of people who use them.

SEMRush

Full disclosure: I blog occasionally for SEMRush and am part of their customer feedback team, which means they have generously provided me with free access to their PRO tool.

Pros:

The free SEMRush keyword research tool provides PPC and SEO information in one view, which can be useful for marketers running hybrid PPC/SEO programs.
SEMRush surfaces up both the root domain and the specific URL that rank for your keyword term in the first 20 slots.
Related and phrase match terms, along with volume, are also served up in an individual keyword's report.
Keyword volume data comes from the Google Keyword API, making it one of the more trustworthy sources of keyword volume data.

Cons:

Users must create a login with a valid email address to use the toolâ€"but it's free.
SERP information doesn't take into account local, video, carousel or other non-text result types.
Geographic drilldown is only available at the country level.
Despite the related and phrase match keyword info, this tool is more effective at researching individual keywords, once you already have them, than it is at generating lots of new keyword ideasâ€"so keep that in mind.

Don't Hit Enter

I'd be remiss if I didn't include one of my favorite keyword brainstorming tools, first introduced by Wil Reynolds at MozCon last year: Just start typing one of your core terms into Google, don't hit enter, and see which keywords are suggested. Then "start the next word" by typing different letters to get further suggestions.

Pros:

Discover the results that Google is most likely to drive users to (since many users will use Google Suggestions that are close to their original query if they come up).

Cons:

No "related terms" dataâ€"everything that comes up will start with that first word.
No keyword volume data. You'll have to use one of the other tools listed above for that!
Your suggestions may be skewed based on your location and search history.

The Future of Keyword Volume

I don't really think any one tool is going to cut it in this day and ageâ€"I'd always recommend using more than one tool for something like keyword volume research, especially since the data can vary so much depending on where the data comes from. The best (safest) way to use keyword data from any tool, including Google, is at a directional level to make inferences about Google: If Keyword A has 10 times as many searches as Keyword B in Bing, and 5 times as many searches as Keyword B in WordTracker, Keyword A will most likely also be more popular in Google. This kind of directional approach is much more likely to be successful than treating the numbers from any one tool as gospel.

There are a few other things to consider in your keyword volume research. For one, increased personalization in search results means that even if you rank very well for a keyword most of the time, you may not show up every time that term is searched; there's no way for keyword volume tools to predict how often you'll be personalized in or out of people's SERPs. Also, keep in mind that certain terms may be important to target even if they're lower in volume, whether because they're important to your brand or because they convert so highly that the lower traffic numbers don't matter.

I'll probably be using Google's Keyword Planner in conjunction with one or two of these other tools, plus Moz tools, for my keyword research going forward. How about you? Any awesome free tools I've missed? Feel free to let me know in the comments!

Does Your Job Require a College Degree? Should It?
U.S. Going to Kill Syrians to Show Syria that Killing Syrians is Wrong
Just How Distorted is the U.S. Unemployment Rate Number?

Does Your Job Require a College Degree? Should It?

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 10:51 PM PDT

For those of you who are employed, I have a simple question: Does your job require a college degree?

The reason I ask, is a Gallup poll shows Majority of U.S. Workers Say Job Doesn't Require a Degree.

Here is the question Gallup asked: Does the type of work you do require a bachelor's degree from a college or university or some other advanced academic degree?

From Gallup ...

Fewer than half of adults employed full or part time in the United States, 43%, say the type of work they do generally requires a bachelor's or a more advanced degree. Fifty-seven percent say it does not, unchanged from 2005, but down slightly from 61% in 2002.

High Income and College Go Together

There is no real difference between male and female workers' perceptions of their need for a college degree, and there are only slight differences by age, with middle-aged workers the most likely to say their job requires a degree.

However, there are significant differences by income, with the majority of workers earning $75,000 or more saying a degree is necessary, compared with no more than a third of lower-income workers.

Bottom Line

The majority of high school graduates in the U.S. go straight to college, no doubt believing that a college degree will open career doors and unlock higher lifetime earning potential. Positive expectations about attending college are generally well founded: government statistics show that four-year college graduates will earn roughly double what college nongraduates make over their lifetime -- amounting to an additional million dollars.

However, changes in the nation's economy in the past decade, coupled with a revolution in technology, may be challenging the traditional college bargain. The high tuition and lost-opportunity costs associated with spending four or more years getting a bachelor's degree may not be as palatable when weighed against a persistently anemic job market.

Cost is the Problem

The problem is not the degree. Rather, it's what you have to pay to get the degree. For those who end up trapped in fast food jobs, retail service, and numerous trades, the cost of college cannot possibly be worth the price.

And that assumes one lands a job. Millions don't. So what good is a degree in English literature or other Liberal Arts program going to do for you?

Hope or Hopeless?

For those trapped in student debt, with no job, there is not a lot of hope. For those still in grade school, help is on the way as noted in Future of Education is At Hand: Online, Accredited, Affordable, Useful

U.S. Going to Kill Syrians to Show Syria that Killing Syrians is Wrong

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 11:07 AM PDT

Abby Martin speaks with UK Parliament Member, George Galloway, about Syria war propaganda and his upcoming film 'The Killing of Tony Blair'.

Link if video does not play: George Galloway: Dogs of War Slaver over Syria, Powder keg for Disaster

Quote of the day goes to Abby Martin who says "We're killing Syrians to Show Syria that Killing Syrians is Wrong. I just cannot wrap my head around that".

George Galloway responded along the lines of "The next time you see President Obama happy clapping in a Christian church, tell him that Al Qaeda slaughtered the Christian people of Syria literally, their necks and throats cut, heads sawed off, the Christian churches on fire at the hands of Al Qaeda, paid for and armed by the United States of America."

Galloway was discussing this: Village 'liberated' by rebels... who then forced Christians to convert to Islam

One Maaloula resident said the rebels, many of whom had beards and shouted 'Allahu Akbar' (God is great), attacked Christian homes and churches shortly after moving into the village.

'They shot and killed people. I heard gunshots and then I saw three bodies lying in the middle of a street in the old quarters of the village. Where is President Obama to see what has befallen us?'

Another Christian resident said: 'I saw the militants grabbing five villagers and threatening them and saying, "Either you convert to Islam, or you will be beheaded".'

Another said one church had been torched, and gunmen stormed into two other churches and robbed them.

The beautiful mountain village, 25 miles from Damascus, is one of the few places in the world where residents still use the ancient language of Aramaic, which was spoken by Jesus and his disciples.

Yes, the US is literally funding Al Qaeda rebels to fight an insane war on trumped up evidence that Assad used chemical weapons on Syrians.

The evidence is in dispute and if chemicals were used, it is equally likely the rebels used them to goad the US into action: Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack

Still More Hypocrisy

To top off the hypocrisy, the US is the biggest user of chemical weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, in the entire world.

Please read about the use of White Phosphorus by the US military in violation of the convention on chemical weapons.

White Phosphorus Images

The above from a Google search for White Phosphorus Burns.

What's the Difference Between the US Using Chemical Weapons and Others Doing the Same?

David Stockman nails the heart of US war-mongering hypocrisy with this question:

"After having rained napalm, white phosphorous, bunker busters, drone missiles, and the most violent machinery of conventional warfare ever assembled upon millions of innocent Vietnamese, Cambodians, Serbs, Somalis, Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistanis, Yemeni, Libyans, and countless more, Washington now presupposes to be in the moral-sanctions business?"

David Stockman is the author of The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America and the #1 New York Times bestseller The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed.

Just How Distorted is the U.S. Unemployment Rate Number?

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 02:45 AM PDT

On the first Friday of every month, I go through the jobs report and note the grossly distorted statistics.

For example, please see BLS in Wonderland written Friday, September 6

Every month I conclude with a couple paragraphs like these:

Grossly Distorted Statistics

Were it not for people dropping out of the labor force, the unemployment rate would be over 9%. In addition, there are 7,911,000 people who are working part-time but want full-time work.

Digging under the surface, much of the drop in the unemployment rate over the past two years is nothing but a statistical mirage coupled with a massive increase in part-time jobs starting in October 2012 as a result of Obamacare legislation.

Wonderland Statistics

This past month I had a couple of extra paragraphs:

Compared to recent Gallup surveys, these BLS stats regarding the base unemployment rate and the alternative measures as well are straight from wonderland. For details, please see Gallup Says Seasonally-Adjusted Unemployment Climbs to 8.6%; Who to Believe (Gallup or the BLS)?

I believe Gallup. Thus, I expect more downward revisions in jobs, and upward revisions in the unemployment rate.

Let's take a look at BLS data to get a handle on what is happening, and why.

Civilian Labor Force Participation Rate

The participation rate is the "labor force as a percent of the civilian noninstitutional population."

Explaining the Graph

Women entered the labor force in huge numbers as two-wage earners per household became the norm
An internet boom provided ample jobs for those who looked for jobs (and you have to look for a job to be a part of the labor force)
A dotcom crash followed
In response to the dotcom crash, the Fed blew the biggest housing and credit bubbles the world has ever seen, but the effect on the participation rate was small
The housing boom turned to bust, but even in the recovery, the participation rate continued to decline

It's Not Demographics

Many people believe demographics explains the decline in the workforce. However, that's not the case.

To prove the point, let's focus in on an age group that is generally not retired and historically not in school.

Civilian Labor Force Participation Rate - 25 to 54 years

Notice how the participation rate of those 25 to 54 has been in steady decline since
the year 2000 except for a slight uptick in the housing boom years.

Allowing 6-7 years after high school for college education, most of those 25 should be looking for a job or have a job. Yet the trend is unmistakable.

Rick Newman, writing for Yahoo Finance posted the following table in Here Are the Real Labor Force Dropouts.

Here is a chart I posted previously in Normalized Unemployment Rates; Cyclical vs. Secular Forces

Participation Rate by Age Group

Not in Labor Force Want a Job

To be in the labor force you have to want a job and look for a job. To be "unemployed" you have to be in the labor force.

At the start of the recession, there were 4,648,000 people who wanted a job but were not considered unemployed. There are now 6,285,000 people who want a job now but do not have one.

That is an increase of 1,637,000.

Adding just the increase back would raise the labor force to 157,123,000 from 155,486,000. It would raise the number of unemployed to 12,953,000 from 11,316,000. And it would raise the unemployment rate to 8.2%.

But why stop there?

It's All In The Definition

The definition of "unemployed" is what it is (for political reasons), but by my more practical definition "you are unemployed if you want a job and do not have one", the corresponding numbers would be as follows:

Labor Force: 155,486,000 + 6,285,000 = 161,771,000
Unemployed: 11,316,000 + 6,285,000 = 17,601,000
Unemployment Rate: 17,601,000 / 161,771,000 = 10.9%

Actual Employment

We can arrive at similar conclusions by looking at the number of employed. Once again the age group 25-54 is the most logical to study. (Total employment is not the best measure because of demographics, those over 60 retiring voluntarily).

Employment Rate: Aged 25-54: All Persons in the United States

Demographics sure does not explain that chart so something else must. The answer is threefold:

Rampant Disability Fraud
It Doesn't Pay to Work
School: Kids stay in school for advanced degrees because there are no jobs, and middle-aged persons out of a job going back to school.

.
Rampant Disability Fraud

I have talked about disability fraud on numerous occasions. Here are a few examples:

Please read that last link above. It's a real eye opener.

Not in Labor Force With a Disability

I would love to show data pre-recession. Unfortunately, the data only goes back to mid-2008. We can see however, that nearly 23 million Americans are not in the labor force because of "disabilities".

I suggest "fraud" is more like it.

It Doesn't Pay to Work

The second reason the unemployment rate is artificially low is "It Doesn't Pay to Work".

I wrote about this recently in Why Work for $7.25 When Welfare Pays $15.00 in 12 States and $8.00 in 33 States? Is a Low Minimum Wage the Problem?

School

I hardly think hiding out in school because there are no jobs (when you really want a job) should constitute someone being "not in the labor force" (yet it does).

So What's the Real Unemployment Rate?

If you use my definition, "you are unemployed if you want a job and do not have one" then the starting point is 10.9%.

But what about those who do not have a job and don't want a job because of disability fraud or welfare considerations?

Factor that in and the unemployment rate would be several points higher, say 14-15%.

However, that does not count another 7% who have a part-time job but want a full-time job.

So if you watch the unemployment rate drop month after month, and you think the number is grossly distorted and totally void of common-sense reality, you are absolutely correct.

41 Female Teachers Caught Sleeping With Students

Posted: 09 Sep 2013 06:53 PM PDT

Here are 41 female teachers who slept with students.

Arrested on the final day of school, Hope Jacoby was taken in for having a sexual relationship with a boy between 14 and 17 years old. This was confirmed once a picture of her was found on the male student's cell phone. The 23 year old physical trainer at Tustin High School went free on bail, but was tried for oral copulation with a minor and unlawful sex with a minor.

Amy Northcutt and her husband, Justin Northcutt, were arrested for sending lewd text messages to a 16-year old female student and then arranging to have group sex with her.

In Stockton, California, Christina Oliver 24 was arrested for having sex with a 16 year old male student. The parents of the teen contacted the police with concerns about her sexual relationship with their child. She was arrested near their home. 125,000 bail.

Cameo Patch was arrested for having oral sex with her 17 year old male student. The 29 year old high school substitute teacher was arrested in January 2006 after the police heard that Patch had gone on a date with a 17 year old student and performed oral sex on the boy after ONE DATE.

Amy Beck, 33, a Social Studies and English teacher, and mother of three, faces up to seven years in prison for having sexual intercourse and "teaching oral sex" to her 14 year old male student.

Elizabeth Stow, 26 and cute in a pony tail, was a high school English teacher who was arrested in April of 2005 after school officials investigated the rumors of sexual relationships between Stow and a few male students. That's right, a FEW. Prosecutors alleged that Stow had sex with three 17 year old students and was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse and oral copulation with a minor, illustrating exactly what she'd been "stow"ing all along

25 year old Spanish teacher and former Miss Texas contestant Amy McElhenney was accused of having sex with an 18 year old male student. The age of consent in Texas is 18, but there's a law forbidding teachers from having sexual relationships with students regardless of their age. The grand jury refused to find her guilty of an improper relationship with a student since the text messages colored their relationship as endearing and flirtatious, but she did lose her teacher credentials.

Amber Jennings, 30, a Massachusetts teacher, emailed nude photos of herself and one video to a 16 year old male student. She served 2 years probation.

Christine Scarlett, 40, plead guilty to five felony charges for her seduction of 17 year old Steven Bradigan, who happened to be captain of the Strongsville High School football team when the relationship began in 2002. She also gave birth to his son in 2003.

Autumn Leathers, who is extremely into SM according to most people's fantasies and NEVER holds still for a picture seriously, no better, non-blurry pictures of her exist, was 24 year old high school English teacher who was arrested in August of 2008 for having sexual relations with a 16 year old student.

In June of 2008, 29-year-old Cara Dickey, who kind of has a confused-Anna-Kournikova thing going and is arguably the craziest person on this list, was let go from her teaching position after school officials somehow discovered "romantic" texts between Dickey and a 14-year-old male student. They disappeared together later on in the day, after the texts, but were found the next morning. Dickey was found sleeping in her car and the boy was found in a local mall, probably celebrating, right? Wrong.

Christine Marie Johanson was charged for having sex with a 15-year-old male, she was 35 at the time. She was given one year in jail

Beth Geisel taught at the Christian Brothers Academy in New York a private Catholic school. She was fired, and later arrested, for having a sexual relationship with a 16 year old male. Then again for having sexual contact with three different 16 year old male students on a Florida school trip where she became so intoxicated she couldn't stand. She was arrested for endangering minors, driving while intoxicated.

Carrie McCandless taught cheerleading at Brighton Charter High School in Colorado. She was accused of having sexual relations with a 17 year old male student during an sleepover school camping trip. She provided the kids with alcohol and "did everything except having sex" with a male student while another male student slept nearby. She was sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Christine McCallum started tutoring her victim and his 11-year-old brother in 2005. After a 20-month period, the two boys started living with McCallum and her husband part-time. McCallum had sex with the 13 year old for the first time in February 2006, and used alcohol and marijuana to persuade him.

Science teacher Deanna Higgins, 27, was arrested for having sex with a 16 year old student after detectives found her underwear in the teenager's truck, which he kept there as a sentimental reminder of her. The relationship was outed once Higgins' husband found texts from the boy on her phone.

28 year old Heather Daughdrill had sex with a young, 13 year old boy after meeting him at a summer Bible camp. "The investigation revealed Daughdrill would engage in inappropriate sexual contact with the boy after picking him up from school without the parents' knowledge," the press release explains. Lewd text messages were found between her and the boy. She faces criminal charges such as sexual battery, carnal knowledge of a juvenile, kidnapping, indecent behavior with a juvenile and contributing to delinquency.

Florida teacher Debra Lafave had sexual intercourse and oral sex with a 14 year old student. Charged with two felonies, she served no jail time because the boy's mother didn't want to put her son through the emotional turmoil of seeing the trial. She now has twins and is happily married.

Ridiculously cute 22 year old Heather Shelton was charged with sexual activity with a 19 year old student, which isn't illegal in any site, but still violates the age-old trust rule of "teachers probably shouldn't bang their students". Authorities said Shelton had sex with a guy that wasn't even her student, but they had sex in April, and in North Carolina it is a felony for any teacher of a school to have sex with a student from that school. So, she was brought in.

Danielle Walls was 26 years old when she began an affair with a 16 year old student. She admitted to giving the boy cocaine and alcohol and having sex with him at multiple locations -- including his car -- over the course of an 8-month period.

Jaymee Wallace is a 28-year old teacher who is accused of having an 18-month lesbian relationship with a teenage girl. Authorities say the student, who was 15 when she met Wallace, voluntarily had sex with the coach more than 50 times, in a parking lot at Busch Gardens and often at Wallaces own apartment while a fellow classmate was in an adjacent room.

Katherine Harder a 31-year-old high school language arts teacher, who decided to teach one of her 17-year-old students the language of love... in a car in the parking lot of the school. Police caught them in the act of conjugating vowels and arrested Harder, just as she was teaching the young boy how to pronounce her last name.

Jill Lewis, 26, a Journalism, Speech and Computer teacher was arrested in February of 2008 for having sex with a 17 year old student on a deserted road. An anonymous probably jealous source reported the relationship to the police.

Kristy Sanches-Trujillo was 33-years-old and a 7th grade social studies teacher at Jimmy Carter Middle School when she fell for her 13-year-old student. According to Albuquerque police, Sanchez-Trujillo repeatedly had sex with a 13 year old boy that she described as being "more experienced than any man she's had sex with. She also said he was a "25-year-old in a 13-year-old's body."

Janelle Batkins was a French teacher at Roseville High School in Roseville, Michigan. She won the "Teacher of the Year" award in 2002 and in 2007 she was charged with two counts of third degree criminal sexual conduct for her relationship with a 17-year-old student, who happened to be her teacher's assistant in French class.

Joy Blackstock, 23,was charged with improper relationship between an educator and a student. She is alleged to have had a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old male student while employed as a teacher at the school, she faces between 2 and 20 years in prison.

26 year old hottiemusic teacher Helen Goddard would often go out for coffee and an after school trumpet lesson with her female student at the London School for Girls a very expensive school. She served 15 months in jail.

The oldest offender on this list, 40 year old substitute teacher Lisa Robyn Marinelli was caught having sex with a student when the student walked out of her car, zipping his pants up. She gave the boy a pair of her underwear as a gift. She first started being interested in the boy when her 15 year old daughter started dating him. She was sentenced to a year of house arrest.

Lisa Glide was sentenced to 5 years probation and faced up to a year in prison. She had sexual intercourse with a 17 and a half year old boy twice.
