Process to Launch Micro Niche Blogs
- Find a niche that you understand well and are comfortable working in
- No topic or niche is too saturated!
- Narrow down to a micro niche, starting from broad targeting
Example: Cars -> Super Cars -> Lamborghini -> SUV
Example: Hosting -> Interserver -> Interserver Hosting Review
Keyword: Lamborghini SUV prices, Interserver hosting review, interserver black friday
When searching for keywords, look into trends based on categories of interest. Here are some factors to consider while choosing keywords:
- Monthly search volume > 30,000 searches for broad niches
- Prefer keywords with results displaying in the zeroth position
- Competition in Double Quotes (When you google KW in “”)
DQR < 1000 (Number of About Results) or as low as possible
- Target high affiliate commission > $100 (example: hosting)
- Target buyer intent keywords like “black friday hosting offers”
Don’t just choose any random keywords and definitely don’t chose keywords blindly!
- 1 easy target to outrank in Top 10 results
- Avoid being greedy and try to target high search volume keywords
- Availability of resources to build backlinks in that niche
- Availability of your own Web2.0s and your other blogs/PBNs
- Prefer keywords with image results above the fold if you want to drive traffic from image SEO
Bad Example: Black Friday Deals – good luck ranking this!
