It’s time to feed this blog with some fresh news again. I’m really sorry for the lack of content the last days, but I’m working on several new projects that eat up most of my time. But there’s definitely a reason for me working that hard! The year 2009 should be THE year for my online career. I would like to finally start earning some real money from the web, enough money to eventually make a living from it.

Ok, the last days I did some keyword research for a new niche site. I therefore used the Wordtracker Gtrends tool and also Google’s Keyword tool. Both tools are incredibely helpful and you could research thousands and thousands of keywords day in, day out. But there’s a catch! It takes a lot of time to build up a comprehensive keyword list. Building such a keyword list usually involves getting the monthly search count for a certain keyword, finding long tail keywords, finding competing websites that also target your keywords and many more things. And trust me, keyword research is time-consuming as hell (and also sometimes extremely boring).

So I went on to get some tools that may help me in automating my keyword research. And while browsing the Warriorforum I finally found some recommendations from the fellow Warriors which pointed me to a program called Micro Niche Finder. And before you think “hey, this guy is only trying to sell me some shitty software for some nice affiliate cash”, please be assured that I can really highly recommend this tool and I would also do so if they wouldn’t offer an affiliate program. But since I’m here to make some money…you know.

Ok, what is Micro Niche Finder? Well, it’s a program that does nearly all your keyword research for you, automatically! You put in some main keyword and MNF spits out dozens of long tail keywords, including the following:

• monthly search count
• search trend
• competing pages
• advertising cost
• commercial intent (based on Microsoft tools to value a keyword)
• strenght of competition.

Especially the last value (SOC) brings down your keyword research to a simple number which shows if the choosen keyword is worth any efforts or not. Low numbers show that it’s easy to rank with such a keyword, higher numbers keep you from wasting your time to optimize for such keywords.

MNF also let you dig deeper on a choosen keyword to find even longer tail keywords. On top of that it also helps you in finding appropiate affiliate programs (e.g. on Clickbank or Amazon), getting content and articles or a strong LSI search (it finds keywords that semantically fit to your choosen keyword, good for SEO purposes).

I could talk a lot longer about the benefits of Micro Niche Finder, but I will rather use that time to find some new keywords instead. That’s easy too, MNF also offer a brainstorm tool and shows what’s hot and heavily searched right now. You simply click a button and the keywords are coming in.

Ok, enough text. I won’t regret buying Micro Niche Finder since it helps me a lot in saving time. I now can concentrate on other stuff like getting content for my sites or building backlinks, other stuff that’s important for making money online!

Happy keyword searching!
