niche/keyword research steps for amazon review sites - do i have this right?
so for now i'm trying to figure out the optimal keyword,niche,domain research and selection steps. after doing a bit of research, here's what i came up with for myself. please, for who know about this stuff, what am i missing? is any of this either outdated or non unnecessary? are there other important aspects i need to look at?
my understanding for picking a niche is to select it based on low competitive and buying potential:
* first select an idea by hand-picking it through brainstorming and browsing amazon.
* next, check to see if that niche and related keyword(s) has low competition and buying potential.
* low competition: short of having market samuri, go w/ seo quake and see if the keyword has top 10 google results with at least a couple PR 0s.* lastly - before building the promoting the site - getting a domain name. after completing the above steps and fining a niche / keywords that match those requirements, find a domain name .com, .org, or .net which contains a major keyword in that niche with no spaces or dashes.
* buying potential: see if there are advertisers, and also search through adwords to make sure the keywords are priced high. make sure the keyword has many (how many?) minimum monthly searches
do i have this right? are there other ways of picking a niche? are there other ways of determining low competition? what exactly is the keyword - just the niche name pretty much or the niche with peripheral "best" "cheapest" "top" "reviews"? should the review site be based around the niche versus a specific product?
