Cant stop smiling today!!

[Danny Cutts]

Hello Warriors,

I have a huge smile today, I learnt how to do keyword research about 2 weeks ago and its already paying off!!

I found a niche with a keyword that is searched 12099 times a day with little competing pages I then managed to get the domain name with that exact search term and now I am ranked in google @ NO1 for that search term!!

I think I may have hit the big time with this one!

workwork work work work work work work work work !!! Now to find more niches!!

a very Happy Danny

[Asher]

Congrats Danny! Great job =D

[Jeremy Kelsall]

[Ronnie Nijmeh]

That's excellent news Danny! Keep it up!

[pbatour16]

good work, keep it going

[najmiyusoff]

Congratulations, may this be the beginning for great things to come. Keep it up!

[Willie Crawford]

Great job.

Can you tell me what the keyword is... and what your
domain is?

Just kidding of course.

Willie

[Danny Cutts]

Ha Ha,

Willie check your PM's......lol

Google does funny things, google.co.uk search term is NO1

Google.com is 13th?? Why does it change I thought it would be the same

Hmmm

Either way I am happy good starting point

Danny

[David Raybould]

Hi Danny,

Congrats man, all you need to do is keep up the momentum and the enthusiasm.

Streamline the process until you can replicate it over and over then really get to work...the sky is the limit!

David

[MizzCindy]

Great job - keep it up.

[jbolte1976]

Good Job Danny, hearing about your success makes me hungry for the same.

[Danny Cutts]

Thanks warriors, It was you guys over the last god knows how many years that have certainly upped my game.

Danny

[James Schramko]

Congrats Danny!

There are plenty more out there too!

[Danny Cutts]

Ok, another day on and I find out that a site I started on monday 22nd sept is now ranked in google at #2 for a search term that is searched for 1627 times a day that has the sponsored listings at the top of google and adwords campaigns.

So yet again I am grinning ear to ear!

This is because Google have many datacenters and it also takes in to consideration your country preference, so it will vary from one country to the other. At any rate, congratulations! Tell me your keyword too.. joke

[rondo]

Is it a .co.uk domain? They usually rank better in google.co.uk than google.com


12099 searches per day is huge. How many visitors are you getting and what are you doing to monetize your site?


Andrew

[Danny Cutts]

Hello,

for one of the domain names i own the .com and .co.uk The .co.uk domain runs a BANS site and the .com is using a drupal set up.

I am just adding google analytics to the sites to see exactly whats happening

Danny

[JAIDEEP2959]

Congratulations!, may you find more niches like that!

[IRON_STRONG]

If the traffic turns out, you may get some cluick bank products matching your niche and do a review site. drupal is reall good for easy content posting as it jomla...

Congratulations bro its very exciting!

[Barbara Eyre]

Great job! I hope your success continues with your current sites and any future sites you setup.

Now that things are going well .. here's the hard part ... keep going! Keep feeding those sites for awhile longer ... articles and such.

[greenovni]

What a nice way to get started in your "keyword" riches

[Mike Williams]

And THAT my friends is the power of keyword research...

[Sami]

Well done Danny. I wish you continued success.

Google does present ifferent search results to different search clients. It takes the client's IP address and tries to present to most relevant and that sometimes mean the "most local" results, hence the difference between Google.com and Google.co.uk.

Good luck
Sami

[minisite911]

congrats Danny!.

now you should consider to write an ebook about your keyword research technique and put it on WSO for a very limited members only.. I will be the first one to buy! lol..

but of course, I'm sure you'll be doing that in 5-6 years from now. lol.


Cheers,
Oki

[Danny Cutts]

I might do but not untill I am financially independant from my findings. I wanna walk the walk before I talk the talk.

Danny

[JoseArmando]

I don't want to be a pain in the ass but I'm really surprised noone asked this question:

Are you sure you'll be able to monetize this traffic?

[Danny Cutts]

Hmmm, I am not sure I follow what you mean.

I believe he's wondering whether the people entering your keyword phrase have 'commercial intent' (are they looking/willing to buy something).

If your phrase was 'free money for doing little to no work', there'd be a very high probability that those particular searchers aren't looking to buy anything.

Here's one quick hint for you, when you enter your target keyword phrase into Google, how many paid ads show up? The more ads there are, the more likely it is your keyword phrase is a profitable one. This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, but it's a good start.

Good luck!

brilliant question
I was working with a client- we had top google listings for a pile ofkey worked - some with 850,000 searchs per month
but they weren't ones that could be directly monetised.

(we worked it though . there is ALWAYS a way )

[logosi]

Great job... good to see the net is working for you. I make my living doing KW research, so I can understand the feeling.

LOVE your attitude!

Cindy

[Danny Cutts]

ah yes I understand, Part of my method is that the keyword has to have the "pink" (google ads) so yes I think It will be fine

So I wasn't the only one thinking that!

Not to rain on your parade, because your success does deserve to be celebrated. But I agree that you should focus on monetization before you move on to the next thing.

Congrats anyway. At least you're in motion.

[Nick Brighton]

It does amuse me somewhat that so many people are quick to congratulate you Danny, when in reality you haven't really achieved anything!


Now, I'm not slating you personally, as you seem like a smart cookie and taking action is 90% better than most people will do.

HOWEVER...

As a few people are starting to point out...It doesn't matter if you're number one for a keyword phrase if it doesn't translate into sales.

You would not believe the amount of keyword phrases I've skimmed over that I could easily rank number one for in the past, despite the ads that might be running in Adwords (that is NOT a sign that you're going to make money by the way).

Why did I skim them? Because of two things:

1. They are not profitable even on face value
2. They are not able to be monetized effectively online (if at all)

I'm not trying to piss on your parade, because you could easily do big numbers from that one domain alone (and I HOPE you do matey)...but I'm just trying to bring this post down to earth...especially for the ones that are "congratulating" you.

If it were me, I'd wait until I knew what the sport was, who the sports person was, and what my odds were before I started betting and cheering.

In and of itself, it is not a definitive indicator of profitability. However, it's one quick way to see if other folks are willing to part with their hard-earned monies to advertise for those keywords/phrases.

Are some of those people paying for valueless phrases? Yes. I'm not suggesting this is the only litmus test for profitability, but it's one quick way to see if folks are willing to spend money on those phrases (i.e. place value on them). And that's part of a bigger picture of profitability.

Ultimately, Danny, you'll need to test the market to see if there are buyers.

I wish you luck!

Cindy

[Danny Cutts]

Only time will tell.

Fingers crossed1!!! if they dont then I will continue my search. I started on the net when i was 16 and have made regular money from my jaunts and I have not given up yet and probably never will

Incorrect. As ads that are showing has no bearing on whether you'll make money. Because:

1. Those ads might disappear tomorrow due to unsustainable profit losses.
2. Those ads might be running as a branding exercise alone
3. Those ads might be running to capture leads and do all sorts of crazy "behind the scenes" revenue generation that you'll never see on face value.
4. Those people might be making thousands on other ads and simply overlook that particular keyword phrase in their massive Adwords Campaign.

Again, see points above. It's dangerous to give advice like this unless you understand the behind the scenes implications. I think you've got good common sense for saying this, but unfortunately there's more to this game than that and I hope I don't come across as a dick for saying so ;-)

Correct...now THAT is sound advice.

[toonarme]

Nice one Danny, good to see another success.
Get some money in, rinse, repeat. Good stuff!

I asked that question, roughly 6 hours previously!

Thousands of searches and no competition!

I AM on the right track,w00t!

[MizzCindy]

Nick,

I'm not stating that the presence of paid ads is the end-all-be-all measure of a profitable market.

I do indeed understand there are many behind the scenes reasons for using ppc that are not directly related to buyer-intent. However, that doesn't preclude the fact that it may also indicate the potential for commerciality.

Are you being a...pooper? ;-) No - you've brought up some very valid points to consider as well.

I hope Danny has a lot of success with his new campaign, and if he (or anyone else reading) learns something cool, all the better.

Cindy

[SimonRiver]

Congrats! I hope you're monetizing that traffic to its fullest.

[vorales]

Congrats and HAVE A NICE TIME.

Do Great and Earn Great.

[tommyp]

That's great but I assume you mean it is a targeted keyword to whatever it is you are promoting. If so, congratulations, that's a great find. It's still worth it to build up authority and back links because it may not get such a good ranking on a related keyword that has an extra word or two. Anyway, good for you.

[onlinemoney00]

well done, keep up the good work

[Raz]

Congratulation! That's great, Danny.
