need to know if this is a good idea

7 replies
im a noob and still playing with ideas and very much in the learning stage so your critique is welcome, so i have been researching a niche, i have found in google keywords

30,400,000 broad searches (low)
450,000 exact searches (medium)
24,900,000 phrase searches (low)

in a google search wikipedia is the top result and there are a few other sites that have lots of backlinks to them but they are general sites which cover a range of subjects and arnt specific to the niche, 2 niche specific sites which are promotional sites for a company, and a couple of sites which are closely related to that service but not the same

the domain names for the keyword are not available, but i can call it nicheglobal.com or nicedirectory.com or something like this

this nice is a service and it can be found all over the world, i was thinking to make a global directory site where people can advertise that they provide this service, they can have a free profile on it and customers can browse by country and city,

to make money from it could adwords work? maybe offer premium deals to the service providers where they get their ad to the top, maybe have an affiliate shop in it selling books and products on this service, if i can draw enough regular traffic to the site maybe start charging to advertise on it or try to create some sort of online booking booking service where i get a cut

is my idea a workable one do you think? or any ideas on what i might not have realised yet?

    also i have looked up a keyword of an untapped niche

    40,000 broad searches (low)
    14,000 exact searches (low)
    27,000 phrase searches (low)

    there is no sites at all on this niche, all the main domain names are gone but not in use so if i get a lesser used domain and use the right SEO would i dominate that niche?

    It looks doable. But then it's much more important to ACTUALLY do it. Test your idea to see if it's valid without spending too much time and money. That's the only way to find out.

    EMD definitely helps, but it's NOT the deciding factor in your SEO effort. Spending a couple of more hours building backlinks beats having an EMD.

    You want to stick with exact. Broad means if it contains the words or similar words. For example, "best websites" as broad can include "best" "websites" "website" and similar words, so it's not effective.

    I don't know if you are using the competition from the AdWords keyword tool, because if so then you shouldn't figure that in. That is advertiser competition. Low competition in the keyword tool means that there is low advertiser competition, or very few people making ads specifically for that keyword; it does not mean there is a low amount of competing websites vying for that term.

    Plug the keyword into Google and do some backlink research. If the top 10 websites have less than 300 backlinks, then you have a niche you can easily get into.

    In terms of competition, you need to do a little more research. You should check out websites that rank on the first page of Google and see the number of backlinks they have. If this is not very high, with the right amount of onsite and offsite SEO, you should be able to break into it. Good luck
