Obviously if no one is searching for your keyword, you might want to think twice about building a site around it. Next,we did Google searches for our ideas to see if there were a lot of Adsense ads for it. Or as as Ed says:
"Are real people selling real stuff to enthusiastic people for real money?"
Here's how my niche ideas from Day 2 panned out:
- Iraq Jobs: 1,150 daily Google searches. Three Adsense ads directly related to work in Iraq showed on the search page with a couple of more for oil and overseas work, including one from the interesting sounding Danger Zone Jobs.com.
- Trikke: 1, 074 daily searches. This is a really cool 3-wheel fitness scooter. I know there is a high paying affiliate program available through Commission Junction.
- Payday Loans: 12,481 daily searches. The search page showed a dozen Adsense ads. Again, there are lots of affiliate programs available as well.
- Raising Earthworms: 19 searches! Ok, this one really bombed. I was a bit disappointed because I do raise earthworms. Apparently not a lot people share my appreciation of the little wrigglers. There were a couple of ads for worm bins and buying live worms, but with such low traffic, I'll probably not work with this one.
- Speed Reading: 930 searches. Good possibilities here, a dozen Google ads. Don't scoff, speed reading works. I took a course years ago and my reading speed is around 560 words per minute with 90 percent comprehension.
- Better Gas Mileage: 639 searches. Plenty of Google ads. With gas spiking over three bucks a gallon, I foresee the number of searches for this phrase going up.
- Raising Tomatoes: 239 searches. Again, another disappointment. Raising tomatoes isn't much more popular than raising earthworms I guess.
Day 4 and 5 are catch up days. I'll be using the time to research more niche ideas.
