By this time, we all know that if we want to create mini sites, we need to do some keyword research to find a niche where it is possible to easily compete with other existing sites. (if you don’t know how to do keyword research then you should read my mini site creation series Part 2).

But where do you get ideas for keywords to research?

Sure it is easy to find a word. You just pick the first word that comes to your head, write it on a tool that gives you long tail keywords, and do a little study to see the competition and searches these long tail keywords have.

when i visited the blog i noticed a drop on RSS readers. Although i don’t have many RSS readers the drop was considerable.

I logged in to my account at feedburner to check what was wrong. And with no surprise, the google feed readers where not being counted. Again!!!!! This is not new. It happened sometimes before. I don’t know the reason this happens, but for bloggers like me, with few rss readers it will look bad. Yesterday i had 30 readers and now it is 19. That means a drop of 37%. Ouch! lol

I decided to write again about the mini site i created. Now that it is 1 month old i can give you more solid results.

According to google analytics the mini site had in one month:

283 visitors

569 page views

49% rejection

1.41 minutes average time on site

and 34% comes from search engine traffic.

As for the keywords researched, the search engine rankings are:

wii finder in store: 12

“where to buy wii”: 19

wii finder locator: 12

wii availability checker: 16

guitar hero wii finder: 6

About 1 month ago i initiated the first phase of Hypervre evaluation and today i decided to show what traffic i had with these minisites:

so for the site: www.procurarcasa.info

in october i had a total of 311 hits, and none came from search engines, the traffic was basically from bots, or my own visits. Google shows the site is indexed, but there’s no traffic coming from it, maybe, because the site has no tags!!! This means, Hypervre failed to create tags! or was my own fault? Visitors came from US, france, portugal (this means me!), and even seychelles Conclusion: i will terminate this site and create a new one with a different program, or i will create myself.

This weekend in Portugal we had an hour change. At 2h AM the clock went backwards one hour. It’s thewinter time…. i don’t like these changes, although i had another extra hour of sleep today! But my point is: i need more time! there’s so many projects i want to do and so little time. Next tuesday i will have my last college exam if all goes well, i have to study, and i really don’t want to! lool anyway, the project: Home Shopping Network is in stand by until i do the exam, and after i party a little bit

For all you guys trying to find good niche for your site keyword tools like the overture keyword selector tool… but wouldn’t be great to gather all in one place sites like yahoo and google, so that you could have a total of searches of your selected keywords? well i found a site called SeoBook that offers a tooljust like that! Check it out at:

Unfortunately for me this tool doesn’t show results for Portugal nor brazil……

Search engines, and specially google, tend to penalise sites with duplicate content. And this happens a lot. To check that just visit http://copyscape.com and do a search on any of your sites to see if you have duplicate content.

If you have a mini site then you probably did a “copy & past” from another site or article, like i did on my mini site: http://dietsforall.com

I did a search and i got two results.  But im sure there’s more copies, but unfortunately copyscape.com only shows more results if you purchase a premium account :\
