Building A Niche Blog - Keyword Research

It’s time to do some dusting off of that good, old hard drive.  If you’re like me, you have tons of PLR products sitting on your computer collecting cyber dust.

Start going through some of them and using Google’s keyword tool, research the keywords that go with your niche products, articles, etc.

What you are looking for is phrases of 3 words or more for your keywords.  These are the long tail keywords that you can use to create your articles.

Most PLR packages I have come with at least 25-30 articles that you can use twice (meaning rewritten) to use for blog content also.  You want to submit at least this amount to the article directories .

As far as competition goes, use those keywords that have less than 50,000 competing sites.  Yes this is going to take some work, so don’t complain.

First go through and add all the phrases of 3 keywords or more and save it as a .txt file.

There is also a lot of debate as far as which keyword research tool is better and that’s because none of them are truly accurate.

I then use a tool called Keyword Buzz which I only have the personal rights to otherwise I would give you a copy.  This tool brings back the competing sites for keywords and I can narrow down which ones have 50,000 or less competing sites.

Now if you don’t have this tool or something similar that does that for you, then you have to go to Google and enter your keywords one by one within quotation marks for competing sites.

Now that you’ve got that done, it’s off to creating some content.

This could take between 1 and 2 hours.
