Creating mini sites - Part 2 - Keyword Research

Now, that you know what software I’ll use to create the mini site it is time to decide what niche to use.

Many of us tend to go directly to big paying keywords and very competitive keywords that will be extremely hard to rank good in search engines, like: Loans, Credid Card, Debt and so on. But this is a big mistake. I did this several times with poor results if any! Remember, if you rank well in search engines than you are halfway to make money!

So, how to find the right keywords for your site?

First of all you must thing in random words for example, and them use GTrends tool that generates up to 100 related keywords (from a word you input), and an estimate of their daily search volume.

You can try for example “panic”, “nairobi”, “salsa” or go to the dictionary and pick a word. For this example i will use a word that has a lot of competition. The word is “wii” related to Nintendo Wii. But you say: “what the hell? Wii must be a very competitive Keyword and he will use it?”

Yes. But only to find adequate keywords! ;)

You will see that the first keywords shown are very competitive. You can see this by clicking the graph icon on the right.

It is recommended to select keywords that have a google competition < 30000 sites and > 100 searches/day. The wii keyword has a competition of 201,000,000 which is extremely bad! But if you scroll down to the bottom page you will see that “wii console in stock” has 10,900 and over 160 searches. which it’s very good. You may consider creating a page relative to these keywords. But we want more. So look again and see more keywords that fit in the criteria.

After a quick look at the keywords i found:

  • buy wii console (the search volume is only 60 but has a low competition);
  • where to buy wii;
  • cheap wii (good one, and potentially used on the domain);
  • wii problems;

Remember: Search for keywords that have a low google competition and good amount of searches/day.

The values given are not rigid. Sometimes i find some keywords with a competition of 5000 with only 30 searches/day and i consider a good keyword. This will depend on your judgement.

In the next part of the Creating mini sites series i will show you a quick way to select good keywords using a special software created to facilitate our lives :)
