What keyword software can't tell you
- SEO |
Judging by the sites in the serps I can see that most marketers don't know anything about there niche. I mean most times it seems as if they totally relied on keyword software for information and nothing else.
My advice is to you is do one of two things, make sites based on topics you know about or if your going to just pick a niche based on some low competition keywords you found in Google keyword tool, at least do your homework on that niche. Research, visit forums,yahoo answers, check Facebook to see if there's a fan page about your topic, than find out what people are saying about it.
In the past and even now I've made sites in the medical niche, I'm not a medical student and don't aspire to be, but over the last two yrs I learned a great deal about the problems and issues in my niche, through research and most of all my analytic reports.
But none of that can compare to making a site based on a topic that I am very knowledgeable on, you would have a great advantage over your competition.
For example, the bodybuilding niche is something near and dear to my heart lol. I read articles all the time on the subject that never addresses most of the problems I faced while working out.
Ex: Eating 6 times a day can be very expensive, especially if you have a family to care for (wife+kids) buying food for them and separate (healthy food) for yourself will cost hundreds of dollars. My personal solution to this was to by grits for my carbs, you get 81 servings per container and each serving has 29 carbs. Grits cost 3.99.
Also every bodybuilding site says to drink plenty of water, but don't tell you how to deal with going to the bathroom every 20 minutes. My point is no keyword software can make up for experience.
So I stop using keyword software a long time ago even for niches I know nothing about, I just find out everything there is to know about a niche (as much as research will tell me anyways) and buy content based on my findings.
Plus keyword software brings up the same oh long tails, when in reality once you make a site you will find plenty of keywords that get a good search amount that can't be found in any keyword tool.
Ask anyone with a old/large site and they will back up that statement.
