After the success of the Making Money With Mini Sites article, I thought of doing a follow up on the keyword research part and give away a few niche ideas for mini sites.
The figures below are taken from the GTrends tool (the data that appears when you click the stat icons). It’s not researched on Google for competition, since the purpose is just to show you how easy it is to find keywords for mini sites. Do your own keyword research and look on Google for the competition (skip those with edu and gov sites in top 10).
As I said in the previous article, all you have to do is pick random words (preferably from non-technical areas), enter them into the tool and see what related words appear. Then check the GTrends data for those that look more promising. By promising I mean keywords that people might actually use on a daily basis. Don’t waste your time checking out keywords like “cgi proxy secure socket layer for digg”. Again, click on this icon
to see the GTrends data, don’t use just the Wordtracker numbers. For this list I’ve started with the keywords layer, blanket, handy, inaccessible and dirt. Below are the keywords that seem promising, before any further research on the competition:
