			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mattgarrett.com/a/nichereaper.html"></a><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Keyword Research Tools &amp; Service</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">"aka" My Secret Niche Weapon... [KISS]</span></p>
<p>whether you're new to niche site marketing or an "old hat" like myself, there's always been one time sucking, pain in "rear" problem to deal with...</p>
<p>finding good *NEW* keywords to target!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">"KISS"</span> [Keep It Simple Solution] <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>~&gt;</strong></span> <strong><a title="NicheReaper" href="http://nichereaper.net/" target="_blank">http://nichereaper.net</a></strong></p>
<p>the traditional method for keyword research is to go out on the net and start looking around on different news &amp; buzz sites, Google Trends, Magazine.com, etc. etc. to try and find something new.</p>
<p>obviously that can take up quite a bit of time, and once you're found a few, you then need to go and do the research on those keywords to see if they have real potential and to check out how much competition there really is, so even if you start with a dozen potential keywords, you could still end up with just 1 or 2 that may be worth building a site around, or possibly none at all, for all that time you've spent...</p>
<p>and then you have to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">start the whole process over again</span>, it can be soul destroying to have to repeat the long winded, boring process over and over again just to end up with a few potential keywords!</p>
<p>The reason I know this, is simple, I've been there and done it, over and over again, for years...</p>
<p>but not anymore!</p>
<p>It took me and a techie friend of mine (Gary) <strong>2 years</strong> to do, but we managed to automate the whole process, so that we don't actually need to go out there and look for those keywords, OR collect the data and crunch the numbers to see which are potential "opportunities"...</p>
<p>our system does it all for us, it scours the web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, looking for potential new niche keywords, collecting around 20,000 per day</p>
<p>it then collects all the relevant search totals, cpc values and competition data to analyze to identify which are genuine "opportunities" that are WORTH targeting, you don't want to waste your time and effort on keywords and niches that won't turn a profit for you!</p>
<p>then it collects some extra data to help out even further, like whether the keyword based domain or facebook fanpage URL are available, to make it even easier for you to target the keyword or niche.</p>
<p>Then it goes one step further, it gathers related keywords (inc. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">LSI keywords</span>) together in to Niches, so you can see at a glance the "depth" and value of a niche as a whole, rather than just a single keyword.</p>
<p>This means you even have a list of the related keyword to target that you can use for article or blog post titles, one more job done for you!</p>
<p>So why waste your own valuable time doing all that "grunt work" when you can have it done for you..?</p>
<p>your time will then be free to get on with the bit that brings in the profits, building and promoting those niche blogs!<br />
*although that can also be outsourced or automated, we share how inside the members area</p>
<p>with over <strong>2.6 Million keywords</strong> already researched and another 20,000 being added every day, you're going to be spoilt for choice...</p>
<p>But we've even dealt with that "potential problem", even though it's a great problem to have, we don't want you getting bogged down trawling through all that data, so we've got some real simple to use "value" &amp; "opportunity" filters built in, so you can drill down to just the highest value keywords and niches, AND there a whole bunch of ways you can refine the filtering to get exactly what you want to see!</p>
<p>We've just re-opened the doors to NicheReaper for the first time in 4 months, and, as expected, the available spots are going very quickly!</p>
<p>We have <span style="text-decoration: underline;">limited the total number of members to 1,000</span> to make sure the value of the system isn't watered down, and we're keeping to that limit, so WE WILL close the doors again once we hit that limit...</p>
<p>here's the link to use to secure your spot before they're all gone again and we close the doors: -</p>
<p><strong><a title="NicheReaper" href="http://nichereaper.net" target="_blank">http://nichereaper.net</a></strong></p>
<p>We also include 12 video training modules with over <strong>60 tutorial videos</strong> in total, covering every aspect of building, monetizing and driving <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mattgarrett.com/a/webtraffic.html">traffic</a> to niche websites and Fanpages, so whatever your level of experience, we have you covered!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>someone recently asked me why I have so many seperate blogs, especially one's related to internet marketing, when I could easily have one blog with seperate "Categories" instead.</p>
<p>It's a good question, and I had to think a little while before answering.</p>
<p>The obvious downside is that I need to post to all of them on a regular basis which is time consuming.</p>
<p>It's also necessaty for me to do <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mattgarrett.com/a/seo-code.html">SEO</a> and marketing work to promote them all and get <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mattgarrett.com/a/webtraffic.html">traffic</a>, rather than just one, but that's something which can be turned in to a "process" and outsourced, so it's not a "biggy" imho.</p>
<p>Having one blog with multiple categories would also mean that blog would get higher traffic overall and a higher alexa rank, therefor it would also be likely to rank better in the SERP's and potentially get more traffic as a result.</p>
<p>So to a degree I do regret the way I've set up my different blogs to cover different "topics" within the internet marketing "niche" and if I was starting fresh I would consider doing things differently.</p>
<p>However, it does allow me to focus clearly on different areas for each blog, such as my Blog Tips and Tutorials blog, and my Internet Marketing Strategies Test blog, resulting in more targeted traffic to each individual blog, meaning visitors are more likely to find exactly what thye are looking for.</p>
<p>There is a second advantage that I can refer to one blog from another, where it's relevant, and get traffic to flow around between the different blogs when people are looking for something different.</p>
<p>It also effectively allows me to "cast a wider net" to catch more traffic across all the blogs, which can again be shared between them all.</p>
<p>I guess it helps that I enjoy writing and always seem to be able to find something to write about for each one.</p>
<p>For my non "internet marketing" blogs I tend to either have automated content sources in place for them, or have content written for me, but I do it myself for the internet marketing ones as it is my "area of expertise" and finding a content writer whom I could trust for these blogs would probably be too expensive.</p>
<p>There is another advantage in the long run. Whilst this blog has a domain name that isn't really good for selling the blog, as it's my name, the others are not "branded" with my name, deliberatly.</p>
<p>This gives me a long term "exit strategy" as they could easily be sold without me having to be part of the blog on and ongoing basis.</p>
<p>So having said that I might do things differently if I was starting from scratch, I believe I'd probably end up going the same way and having several blogs anyway, as for me the benefits outweigh the downside.</p>
