I think the combination of Google Adwords Tool and Free Wordtraker is a ggod choice for drilling down to more long tail keywords..

Thanks Jeremy. That’s just what I was hoping to hear. The latter are exactly who occupies page 1 in the serps for most of my kws. Starting to get cautiously optimistic…

buxfan,

In many cases, 40,000 phrase-matched competing sites is a piece of cake
It really just matters how good those pages are. In the next few videos you see, you will notice that I put a great amount of emphasis on “what kind of pages” are ranking for a keyword.

If you have 40,000 competing sites that are comprised of “authority sites” you would for the most part be shooting yourself in the foot trying to outrank them with an article. However, if the first page results are comprised by article directories, squidoo pages, hubs, and other pages that marketers often use to pimp their wares, all you have to do is outwork them and provide good content.

Hi Jeremy,

40,000 phrase-matched competing sites seems like a bundle. Does this mean we’ll be learning some ’super ninja’ SEO in order to rank well?

Bryan, that video is probably 6 months old and the first video that I ever made
I don’t have the original of it anymore to re-upload it, but maybe I can do another one to put n its place.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for posting a link to this video. I thought I should let you know though, that it’s very pixelated. If you take a look at how it looks on Google video, you’ll see what I mean. Would it be possible for you to post the video on the this site like the videos you posted on the last bootcamp? Those were much, much easier to view.

Thanks,
Bryan

I have never used Micro Niche Finder. I try to keep the process as simple as possible by sticking to one tool and one tool only almost exclusively.

Before Google started adding the actual search number to their results I was using WordTracker, but I figured who would know better than Google what is searched for and how many times

Hi, Jeremy,

I use Google’s Adwords keyword selection tool and Micro Niche Finder. I cross check results from both tools look for KWs where they have similar, if not the same, search data.

What are your thoughts on Micro Niche Finder?

The course will take the direction that the people that have signed up want it to go which is what made Internet Marketers Boot Camp such a success with so many people finally making their first sales
With that being said, if those are questions that you have, I’m sure other people want to know the same things and we will do our best to cover them.

I use a lot of keyword tools, but what I have found is that each one is different in regards to their search results. It is good to find one or two that “you are comfortable with” and go from there. The free tools are good. I also use some that I’ve purchased. They are also pretty good, they provide in-depth information on the searches, but sometimes their results do not always match what is found on Google. I am comfortable with most of the tools, but I do have my favorites.

Jeremy’s answer may not seem very conclusive, but it is true you need to try each tool with several keywords to see what you’re comfortable with and then decide for yourself: which one is easier for you to use, provide the results you’re looking for, do you want to use a tool that is free or purchased and of course use kw tools that you are able to comprehend the results of your search. The only way to know is to get started and begin plugging in your keywords! Jeremy’s video is a good place to start and then use each of the kw tools provided here and see where it takes you. Don’t worry about being a newbie. Just get started with the basics that’s been presented here and what is shown on the video. It definitely takes practice or whatever term one would use for it.

The most difficult part for me in doing kw research was actually performing it because I thought it was too time consuming, who needs it? I’ve come to find out you need it. The other issues were being able to understand and effectively use the results of my kw research.

Part 2: Questions

Jeremy,

Will you guys also be covering how to write an article with the keywords you’ve found for a particular niche?

How do you perform research for articles especially if you are not familiar with the subject?

Do you use article spinners or software to come up with different variations of your articles to submit to article directories?
