I'm just starting out with building niche sites, because I'm not sure if this competition is too high for different keywords I added some screenshots; using market samurai.

Keywords number one :


and another keyword number two :



What this results mean, especially I don't understand how is possible that new site is ranked #2 and #3 for both keywords?

Thank you for taking time!

    Looks like a great niche - What is it

    Only joking, but there needs to be either good search volume and/or intent in the keyword too.

    The main areas I look at on MS are the TF, RDP+BLP and the last 4 - how well they are optimised onsite. From the look of the above, especially the first image, you niche is easy pickings!

    Now, go make some money.....

      Thank you for your reply, how do you now that is easy pick? Let's say it's best compact camera (it's isn't that keyword) and next keyword how much does compact camera cost

      What kind of domain would be the best to get? Example bestcameracompactcost.com is that too long?

        I usually do partial match domains, so if it's a site about digital cameras, I'd try to get elitecamera.com or something like that. I'm more concerned about type-ability and brand-ability then exact match domains.

        Tip: I think you've wasted a bunch of time "hunting" for a keyword, to me this indicates that you are new to this. I don't suggest you do that, the amount of time you spent hunting you could have just produced a bunch of content (or sourced it), then quickly picked a keyword that seemed okay once you had the content ready to post. I realize you probably don't want to try something and end up failing but you're likely failing in the sense that you are using your time ineffectively. There's no rule that says you can't change your tags or the keywords you target after you publish the content. If six months later your article didn't rank on anything, do some research and target something else.

          That's not true at all. I wouldn't go out and write an article about weight loss, then try to find a weight loss keyword to rank for. That's working before you know it's profitable.

            "I wouldn't go out and write an article about weight loss."

            Right. I realize there is more to it, but I think you understand what I meant.

            It should be common knowledge that "weight loss" is an insanely competitive niche. You would have to target sub niches or you won't get anywhere. So you would go for stuff like "**** berry smoothie recipe" and if you spend an hour looking for a keyword with a piece of content like that, then that's about 55 minutes of your life wasted. Your article about "loss calorie kale smoothie recipes" could be quite a ways along in that amount of time.

    Keyword #1 is a lot easier than keyword #2 -- look at the number of backlinks and domains pointing to the results.

    All those green fields are low metrics, most of the sites have zero links pointing to them.

    Whatever domain you want. Don't get too spammy with it.

    Looks like a good niche to me. Here is what I always do when entering something new, and I've written this before. Buy 5 domains, throw up 5-10 pages of spun content. Your strategy might be different but just take this as some food for thought. I spam all the domains with links (some low volume, some high, some just socials) and rank track for at least a month or so (it seems to be getting longer now). At the end of that time period choose the best ranking site and turn it into a money site (better content, more content etc). Then I will 301 the other domains at that money site and get a boost.

    Why do this? Because 5 pages of spun content x5 domains takes me about 2 hours to set up. The linking is automated so after 2 hours it's a waiting game to see what sticks. I can now move on to another niche. If it doesn't work, fine, it was 2 hours. If it does, great. If it gets slapped, no big deal.....again it was 2 hours. This is a great way to test out the waters of a new niche.
