Keyword Research Strategy Guide for Niche Selection (Day 1 notes) condensed version
The following is what I got out of reading all the forum post from day 1 and WAbinar by Jay on the topic of Keyword research to finding your niche.
Keyword research strategy guide:
*find ur niche/keyword by going into DMOZ or if u have something in mind.
1st step: Get 60,000 or less competition on quoted results in google by playing around with creating long-tailed keywords.
2nd step: go to WA keyword research tool and search for the keyword. Stats we should look for: U want high # of search/month + low number of quoted search.. ideally low website competition <500. U want high article power *7 or higher, PPC power and high comp.
3rd step: go to google competition tool and type that keyword in the box: find something that's lower than 1000 or lower than 500 (the lower the better)
4th step: go to godaddy.com and search if there's a domain for it in .com, .org. or .net.
5th step: look for available affiliate program and check out google search ads to see if ppl are monetizing that keywords.
6th step: if microsoft OCI tool available, check the % of online consumer intention (OCI) anything greater than 50% is good.
