Keyword Research and Niche Mining Tools

After a week long trip from Hawaii, I was eager to try out my new niche finding tool called Keywords Results Analyzer for Wordtracker. This tool does what I want, nichemining specifically for affiliate marketing. The tool does cost money, so if you're looking for something free, another great tool is Keyword Analysis by Cattle Ramp Seo.

The biggest difference between the 2 are the keywords it uses. Cattle Ramps tool is one of the best free tool I've ever used, but it uses Overture to build it's list. The problem with this is that Overture doesn't arrange the words in the correct order and it also doesn't care about plural forms. When creating sites for SEO, it's better if the words are the the right format and order for what a person is searching for. An example of this would be a person typing in "niche finding software" and Overture might return something like "finding software niche." While the user might find your site with this same phrase, google would most likely put the exact phrase your searching for 1st, since it is the most relevant. With Wordtracker, the user could reliably find the phrase in the exact order that a person is searching for.

Cattle Ramp also uses something called CID (Competition Indexed Demand), while most niche finding tools use KEI. CID targets keywords that have less competition. This is highly valuable if you want to target a niche and don't want to compete with the big guns.

With Keywords Results Analyzer the user has several filtering options. You can filter by count, 24 hr. count, root words, competition, and KEI. Although it doesn't use CID, using the 24 hr. count and competition works perfectly for niche mining. The creator of the software uses the strategy of filtering sites with less than 1000 competitors and searched at least 5 times in the last 24 hours. If you site is optimized with these filtered keywords, you'll have a chance of ranking within the top 10. Another strategy used for people who like using KEI is filtering sites with 1000 competitors and using a KEI of 10. This strategy can also be used for finding niches within niches which Keywords Results Analyzer automatically does. Once you open a project, click on this function and the software will search for sub-niches within you project in minutes.

While Cattle Ramp is a great software, KRA for WT saves hours niche mining. With WordTracker, the user can get 1000's and 1000's of keywords on your niche and easily filter through them. Cattle Ramp does have some automated features for this, but you have to pay a small fee for them. I had a niche with over 4000 keywords and I was able to find my best 10-100 keywords for my site in seconds.

So try Keyword Analysis by Cattle Ramp Seo or Keywords Results Analyzer and see which one you like the best.

Starting An Internet Business-Part 3-Get A Cheap Web Hosting Package

If you've chosen your domain name, you'll also need a place to store your information. This server space is what a web host is. What you'll want to do is find a cheap web hosting package . When I say "cheap," I don't mean low quality. There are so many places to get web hosting, that searching for an affordable one could be tough. Most of the big named companies offer tons of web hosting packages, but unfortunately are pretty expensive. I'm pretty surprised that Yahoo is still offering their starter package close to $12/mo, with a $25 startup fee. I guess it's the name that sells. Over the last decade, I've tried out several hosting companies. For over the past 2 years, I've chosen a service where I have 10 websites set up on. If you want to set up one website, you pay $1/mo. If you want to have 10 websites, it's $2.95/mo. They have a startup fee, but it's pretty small compared to the monthly savings. Before selecting the package...

My Blog Conversion - Hopping On The Bandwagon

"Curiousity Just Killed The Cat" After prowling online for ways to add features to my blogs, I ran into tons of Wordpress plugins. For those of you new to my site, I've been a user of Pivot for some time now. Pivot has been great. I don't have any complaints about it. In fact, I find it much easier to use than Wordpress . It has tons of features that you can use to build successful content sites or blogs...without the need for MySQL or other scalable database. So what happened? Looking through Google, there was tons of blog plugins-for Wordpress. While there's tons of useful plugins for Pivot, being so curious, I felt the need to try out Wordpress :) It took a good full day to understand Wordpress and how to customize it. A week later, I still feel as if it's lacking compared to Pivot. In Pivot, I really liked the ability to easily create multiple blogs for the same domain. In Wordpress, I don't think there's a feature...unless you hack aroun...
