Keyword, Niche and Market Research
Updated

I have a couple ideas for a new site, and have done some preliminary research. These niches are dominated by well-established, big name sites. Its discouraging trying to figure

Thanks for the question and for the responses!

There is no such thing as a non-competitive niche. I would not pay attention on competition, write about things you know, go for low qsr and you will find your way.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for this advice! And hopefully this will help other new members in my same situation.

I think this training might help: It's all about traffic and ranking. If you have already read it, a re-read is a good idea.

Awesome training here...thanks for the share!

You find a niche within one of those areas. You write more detailed and better content about that sub-niche.

There's no point trying to write about everything to do with parenting. There's just too much to write about and you'd never cover anything in detail.

Pick one aspect, then narrow it to an age group, for example. Eg ' A Dad's guide to potty training'

Hi Ian, if it is so narrow can you really make a big site from it and write many texts? Or it does not have to be a big site?

Yes, but wouldn't this also limit my site considerably? I mean if you want a new post at least say 2 times a week, how much can you really write on potty training after 10 or 15 posts. You kinda reach a ending point don't you?

I have such a site. All items in the niche collected there and this is the end.

If its successful, then that's good. I thought fresh content was vital to rankings. After your done, how has your site fared in the rankings?

Fresh content is just a myth, one of many.

My site is new, started in June. Only 23 posts and pages, half of them on the first page in Google. I have seen many examples of such sites, many smaller than my own, created and left. Some generate increased number of visitors year after year, but some just die out.

Competition is a good thing, it means many people will be searching for what you have to offer. Keep coming up with original content and above all, be yourself - people buy from people :)

So let's clear this process up for some of these new people, myself included. When writing a new post, should we get the post idea, then hunt the best low comp keywords associa

I have always started with keyword research and found my keyword first. Then create an epic post around that keyword that is better than any of the others on the first page of Google rankings.

As a result, I have hundreds of posts ranking on the first page and many that are in the #1 spot.

I'm not saying that it is the only way...

Just my way.

Hope this helps!

JV

I have done it both ways.
both seem to work out.

My process is slightly different from Loes: idea first, keyword second and add it where needed from the beginning starting with the title and url.

What if you can't find a keyword or phrase under 50 comp?

I go over 30 only if I have to.

First I get the idea, then I write the post naturally, then I look for the keyword most significant to my post, and squeeze it into the title and URL, and find a good place for my H2

How's that working for you?

I have a couple of pages on the #1 place, so I guess some of it is working:)

I would imagine doing the keyword search first as laid out by the training.

It comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. I got lots of ideas for articles and I have not thought of keywords for them yet.

Exactly my problem!...LOL...I can't find proper keywords for the ideas I have...All have 150+ competition.

It tried the other way round and ended up shredding the whole post and writing it again. The post was for someone else's website though.

OK, say I found a phrase perfect number-wise to target as an awesome keyword phrase. Only the way Jaaxy shows it it needs a little help to make sense. The phrase is something l

The best way to answer a question like this is to reverse engineer your competition. Google the keyword and see what your competitors are doing to rank for it.

Hope this helps!

JV

Yes, makes perfect sense, I hadn't thought of that! Thanks.

You can add to your key word and remember to update

Hello Sowilo!

You have to make the keyword make sense. So to find out your chances with that just search the proper grammatical way on Jaaxy.

Words inbetween changes the keyword but you can still rank for the non-sense keyword if you are still including the words that you want to rank for.

Search results aren't an exact science so you can add words inbetween but ideally you want to use the proper term as much as possible. If you write non-sense google might penalize you.

Ranking depends on what google see's too so you might even get ranked for something you're not intending to rank for as well.

Hope this makes sense. Basically I'm saying to use the version that makes sense while still including those keywords in the non-sense version(s).

Marlinda :)

Thank-you for your reply, I was going that way, but the "proper" wording had far more competing pages. Probably because it's worded properly...LOL...So yeah, thanks again!

I was recently informed of a cool looking little plugin for SEO called Yoast SEO. Anyone out there have any experiance with Yoast. What's the difference between these two and c

I love Yoast as it does so much more to help you get quicker results -
The best thing is to install Yoast and try it out and see which you prefer

Good to know

I've used both over the years, currently All-in-One is getting me better results than Yoast, which seems to be a general consensus amongst users of both.

Also, a lot of Yoast functionality requires you to pay for their premium version.

It's worth noting that Yoast's update to 3.0 broke a lot of sites, resulting in 1-star reviews, as it took them weeks to even acknowledge there was a problem. They've recently been trying to cover up those 1-star reviews by spamming the Wordpress repository with 5-star reviews. LOL.

Yoast

Thanks for the very useful reply!

You're most welcome! :)
