Keen's Best Deals in 2010

Keen has a "Free 3-Minute Call" option for new members, where you get free psychic advice to help you in your daily life. This is a good way to test out Keen's product, without being out a lot of money. You'll need to give credit card information, but this isn't some scam. Instead, this helps Keen to assess which country you're from, for the sake of paying their free psychic advisors. (I'll explain this in more depth later.) If you decide you don't want to pay for more psychic readings, simply hang up before 3 minutes are over and it's free.

One big advantage of being a Keen psychic customer is that the site doesn't give out your phone number or other information to their psychics. This is safe and secure among the Keen management, so you don't have to worry about psycho fortune tellers returning your calls, if you decide to stop paying for their readings. Because Keen holds your credit card information, they have your billable call length and pass on earning to the psychics. The psychics don't have your credit card information, so Keen can mediate any disputes. Also, people receive refunds through Keen. Customers are taken from all over the world, though rates for international calls are understandably higher.

Today's Featured Advisors

When you reach Keen's homepage, you'll see information on the selected psychic readers of the day, along with ratings information, pictures and avatars to get a feel for this psychics' vibe, their price listing, and other details. The difference in price ranges can be stark, such as "InnerWhispers" and "JAGGER01" costing over $9 a minute. Besides these two high-priced psychics, most psychic information costs between $1 and $1.99 a minute.

The psychic advisor profiles offer a lot of background, so you can choose the mentalist who best suits your needs. Each has a rating from 1 to 5 stars, along with how many people have rated this person (usually between 500 and 5,000 people apiece). From what I can tell, each 1-to-5 star review is added to the overall rating, with perhaps some other minor adjustments.

You can click on these ratings to see eBay-style remarks about customers' experience with these people. Most of the comments are a sentence or two, but when you have thousands of people making comments, you'll start to get an idea what these people are like. One quick browse through a profile included descriptions like "detailed", "kind", "wise", "helpful", "intuitive" and "accurate".

This is for those people who feel more comfortable revealing their innermost secrets in a more controlled written fashion, than in a verbal communication, or for those people who want to pay a flat fee and have their psychic advice on their computer screen in front of them. Here's how you get your own personal psychic reading via email.

These psychics are from a different list than the telephone psychic mediums. When you click on "Email Readings by Keen", you'll see psychic profiles of the various psychics and life coaches you can ask your question to, including the top psychics of the moment: "Steven Craig", "Visionary Joshua", "SensitiveHeart" and "LakHei Tarot". My favorite is "AesonKnight", a third generation clairvoyant who gives readings for half the price. For tarot readings, I suggest "Queen of Hearts 58". Each has their own Q&A style and expertise, so find the one who is perfect for you.

Keen Psychic Insight

While I'm not going to tell readers you won't find scam artists on Keen, this psychic website offers easy-to-find information on their psychic network, so you can thoroughly research which psychics that sound like frauds or con artists trying to run a scheme. This tends to cut down on the bad psychics, letting you find the piece-of-mind and assurance you're seeking. Keen.com has been around since 1999, so this isn't some fly-by-night operation that's going to close shop tomorrow, when you ask for your money back. In the psychic reading industry, it doesn't come much bigger than Keen.
