How To Find Profitable Keywords

by misterfong on July 27, 2010

Keyword research is probably the most important part of any niche site you build, yet I often see affiliates who skip this process entirely.

I want to introduce the latest tool I just finished developing called Profit Keywords that makes the whole keyword research process much simpler. Basically it works with my favorite keyword research tool, Market Samurai and makes it easy to dig out high traffic, low competition keywords in your chosen niche. Build your sites around these keywords and you will find it very easy to get your sites ranking very well and get tons of traffic to your sites.

How To Use It

  1. Use the Adwords Keyword Tool (or your favorite keyword tool) and generate a large list of keywords in your niche.
  2. Download a copy of Market Samurai. Remember, the keyword research part of this awesome software is completely free.
  3. Import your keywords into the Market Samurai keyword research module.
  4. Make sure Total Searches and SEO Comp are selected and click Analyze Keywords.

    5. Market Samurai

  5. Once it’s done, click Export to save the results to a file on your computer.
  6. Head over to http://profitkeywords.com.
  7. Click the Browse button and select your exported file from Market Samurai

Profit Keywords

Profit Keywords takes your keyword list and displays an easy to read score for each keyword in your list. A keyword can have a score of GREAT, GOOD, FAIR or POOR based on the traffic it gets and the amount of competition for the keyword. Everything is sortable and you will find that this is a much easier format to work with then the raw output from Market Samurai.

Not only does this system help you find great keywords, but it’s also great for evaluating niches themselves. If there aren’t a lot of good keywords being shown, then you might want to look at another niche. This can save you a lot of time and effort in developing sites that you will have a difficult time ranking well for.

While I developed Profit Keywords for my own use, I’m more than happy to share it with my readers. If you find the tool useful, please share it with your friends and feel free to leave any suggestions you may have in the comments.

Finding Awesome Domain Names With IM Eye and Domain Samurai

by misterfong on April 10, 2010

Once you find a few keyword opportunities with IM Eye, you will want to take action and build a site around each of these keywords. Lets say I want to build an Adsense site so in IM Eye I would set the appropriate filters (high searches, low competition, high Adwords CPC). Here is a partial list of results I got.

IM Eye Results

The keyword asia rooms looks like it has potential so lets build an adsense site around it. The next step in the process is to find a good domain name for this keyword. Your first choice should be to get an exact match domain name, with either a .com, .net, or .org TLD. In my limited experience with the IM Eye results, finding an available exact match domain is pretty rare and this is indeed the case with the keyword asia rooms. Normally, you would then go to your favorite domain search site and start manually looking for available phrase match domains. That’s a really boring process though and not very fun to do. Luckily though, I’ve found a better way.

Recently, the Market Samurai folks released a new program called Domain Samurai. It’s an Adobe Air app, so it will work on any computer and best of all, it’s free. I’ve been using it for a little bit now, and I’ve found it to be a really nice tool for finding available unregistered domain names. You can also use it to find available aged domains if you signup for the associated DomainFace service. DomainFace is not free however, although you can try it out by signing up for their 7 day free trial.

With Domain Samurai loaded, I can now take my keyword asia rooms, and input it into Domain Samurai. With Domain Samurai you can add hyphens, prefixes and suffixes to your keyword to find available domains. The app comes with several pre-configured Domain variations like Blog, Review, Social or Ecommerce sites. Selecting Blog would search using the prefixes the, my, e and the suffixes blog, spot, info, site, news, tips. If you don’t like any of the pre-defined variations, you can edit an existing one or create your variations as well.

Here are the results I’m getting from Domain Samurai after performing my search.

Domain Samurai Results

As you can see, there’s definitely some good potential domain names from the results. Asiaroomstips.com would be one I’d consider registering. Also, since I have a DomainFace account, notice on the right that there is an available aged domain, asiaroomshotels.com for my keyword as well. Domain Samurai has an aged domain tab where you can find out the age, PR, backlinks and other info about these domains. This particular domain is listed for auction on Namejet. Minimum bids on Namejet are $69, but some domains are definitely worth bidding on at that price.

Domain Samurai - Aged Domains

Although I’ve found Domain Samurai to be a great complement to IM Eye, it definitely will work just fine by itself. Anytime you’re trying to think of a good domain name for your site, enter it first into Domain Samurai and see what results it comes back with. It’s totally free and I’ve found it to be a huge timesaver.
