And my Solution would solve their problems, very sure of it.

Thank you very much I already did a lot of indexing and even paid for one. Getting a domain name. Will my old URL still be working?
Secondly. Where can I get cheap domain name that can be cheap enough for my yearly payment. I had one before for $5 but the renewal is $35 dollar so I abandoned it because I was not aware of blogging so much like I am now.

Hi blessed,

Sorry I didn't get to see this.

First, never ever pay anyone for indexing! There are free materials out there how to get indexed by google.

Get the 'all in one seo' plugin and 'google site map' plugin for Wordpress. I don't know the equivalents of these two for the blogger CMS. You can ask around.

Second, don't skimp on hosting fees. Go with a good host that can guarantee you a steady uptime and speed. Don't forget customer support too.

If you are strapped for cash I hear domainking.ng is ok. I don't know much about them to be honest but their pacakages seem to be competitive.

I use godaddy, namecheap and blue host.

Hope that was helpful.

You are not articulating the problem well. It's too vague.

Don't say people need help with web design.

Say people need beautiful Wordpress headers.

Don't say people need good SEO optimized articles for their blogs.

Say people need 2000-word SEO optimized articles for their blogs.

You dig.

Your solution should be specific too.

I can't see any here.

Hello Cupid,

You don't need to be a professional in your field to provide value. I'm far from a professional or expert in Niche sites and SEO.

I'm a nobody.

It's fine you are just a student. You just need to know more about your field than the average guy on your street.

I love the fact that you are already snooping out problems your peers have. Way to go.

That's all there is.

Now you found the problem, go find a solution.

It's that easy.

Yes, I grab.

I know you really want to.



What I'm saying is, the best way to do that is to be specific.

You figured one out. Raise funds for their career. That's good.

Now go create a site.

Name it: fundedafrobeat.ng

Make the tag line: raising funds for your first afrobeat hit through nairaland.

Now go write actionable valuable contents on how to raise funds from a forum for aspiring music stars to kickstart their careers.

This is tongue in cheek and just an example.

Lesson 4: Keyword Research (Part 5)

Step 7: Compile more data

Now it's time to start compiling the rest of the details so we can get a better understanding of the competition and profitability of our keyword.

In general, we are after low hanging fruits and keywords with relatively easy competition.

We don't want to battle in highly contested niches swarming with SEO optimized pages (I'm looking at those starting yet another tech blog).

So, let's go ahead and evaluate the SEO competition. If our term is being targeted by too many other websites, we may want to look elsewhere.

Before we start, let me say we will continue to use our example keyword: 'baby cot'.

I wouldn't go into a niche like this because the volume is 1000 searches per month in Nigeria and the average CPC is just 0.27. The SEO value is 2.7 dollars.

The SEO value of 2.7 dollars means that this niche only has the potential to bring in this amount per month. Not good enough.

A way around this is to have this niche in a portfolio of other smaller sites pulling in similar amounts. In aggregate they can pull in a significant cash.

Say, 20 sites making 30 dollars a month. That would be 600 dollars a month. Though, this takes considerable work and organization but very doable. I do something like this.

Now let's get on it...

To evaluate the SEO competition, type in your keyword into google with quotes around it.

Like this:

'baby cot'

Using this example, there are 20,300,000 other sites with this term (check under the search bar. Google gives a you how many page searches it finds with the keyword) Not good.

You want to see something with less than 1,500,000 results. You shouldn't weigh this too heavily. I have ranked sites with 10,000,000 results in 'SEO Competition'. But it's something you have to keep in mind.

Enter this information in your spreadsheet (hope you have this handy) under the right column.

Step 8: Analyze the advertisers competition

This is something you shouldn't weigh too heavily too. What you do here is type into google your keyword in quotes again.

Can you see any ads running. Just one is enough.

If you see an ad running that means someone is bidding for those keywords. If they are paying google (God knows how much?), money for those keywords you can bet they are making money too from those keywords.

Money is flowing in that space! This is what you want. The more ads you can see running the better.

If you don't see any running, don't fret. It's ok. This doesn't mean your keyword won't be profitable but it's something to keep in mind.

The more Adwords competition there is within the niche we are pursuing the better.

Another metric to determine Adwords completion is through the Adwords keyword planner.

Type in your keywords and check the column which says competition. They are designated as 'low' or 'high'.

You want to see 'high'. This means there is a fair amount of Adwords competition in this niche, and for you, that means there are likely lots of advertisers on Adsense (which is how we are going to make money).

But it's fine if you don't. Like I said don't fret.

What you also want to see is a figure for 'suggested bids'. That would be the average CPC.

If you don't see any, that means on the average, there is little to no one bidding for those keywords. Simply, that keyword has no commercial value.

Enter the number of ads you see running in your spreadsheet.


This concludes the lesson for today.

The lessons are shorter per day for some of you but I'm doing it this way to keep you from getting overwhelmed.

Easy does it.

See you again tomorrow.

Cheers.

Little Update

What I haven't mentioned is, I run an SEO Agency.

Yesterday, we landed our biggest client yet and we will be working with them for 6 months. The work we have reviewed so far is YUUUUUGGGE!

Going to be very demanding.

So I have a bit of a sad news:

The SEO email course will be scrapped.

Between running my online ventures, the thread here and the agency, I won't have the time coming up with the SEO email course.

Here is the good news:

The newsletter will still be active. I will still be dropping SEO content 1-2 times per week that will help you outrank your pesky competitors.
They won't just be as structured as the SEO email course and less advanced but still very powerful stuff. In fact more than half the content from the SEO email course will be delivered to your inbox weekly for those of you that have subscribed.

I just hope none of my client is following this thread because majority of what I charge for will be what I will deliver on the newsletter. They would be super pissed. So shhhh. Stop sharing the thread.

To make it up to you guys I might be doing free SEO consultations down the line too.

And this weekend I will be building a niche site from scratch, rank it on the first page and giving it out.

I have noted some of your suggestions and I will be using a ballot system to pick the topic and the winner.

Thank you to all those that subscribed to the newsletter. You should receive your first SEO Nugget on Monday!

Bless!

dot ng domain is one of the most expensive domain in Nigeria now. between the range of 7k-12k not too sure but do not expect less. I stand to be corrected.

@Nichesiteseo thanks for the progress so far. i was about to ask how you derive seo competition, adword competition from the xlxs speedsheet column you listed before but it is settling by itself obviously. now my question is, is there a basic calculation for those? are they figured in % or just the exact figure adword planner presents? for example if the seo competition returns 1.5M searches, is that the figure going to that column or there are further calculation like the seo value

The exact figure, Jayjay.

You get the 'SEO Competition' figure from a google search not the Keyword planner.

Just type into google your keyword with quotes ('baby cot') and hit enter. Then check for the number of results returned.
