Niche on the Internet? What do they mean by that? 
By: Dan Iverson
Because all of the searches on the internet are tracked by a company called Wordtracker.com, we know which key word phrases are searched for the most to the least. It is when you combine this information with the stats kept by the search engines of all of their indexed sites, thing like how many sites provide content for a key word, and how long people spend at a site after a search, that you are able to identify niches on the internet.
What does all of this mean? It means that you are able to look up the different words that people have searched on, and see if there was enough or satisfactory content available to satisfy the needs of those looking for that particular information. I'll give an example: If I do a search on the internet for "vacation spots" I get 3 million results. If I do a search for "Forest Lake Minnesota Vacation Spots," I get zero results. What does this tell me? It tells me that Google has 3 million sites with information on vacation spots. That means if I was going to try and build a site around these key words, I have to compete with millions of other sites. It also tells me that there are zero sites that have information on "Forest Lake Minnesota vacation spots." That means if I wanted to do a site based on those key words, I would have no competition.
You know you have found a niche when you can see that there are about 6 to 8 hundred searches done for the key word phrase, "Forest Lake Minnesota Vacation Spots." With that many people looking for information and the results being so low on the search engines, you are assured that you are going to receive a steady supply of visitors to your site. Let's not forget this is free traffic.
Whether you realize it or not, this is an opportunity. The reason this is an opportunity is because you'll have a site where a large amount of traffic comes on a regular basis. This is because they have an interest in a particular topic. Anytime you have a group of potential customers, they're going to be people that want to sell things to those people. Or maybe you can sell a guide for these people to plan their vacations to this location with. The main point is there is money to be made, and you can do all of this with less than $500 cash and lot of hard work. Not bad for a business that can produce thousands of dollars every month.
The most fascinating thing about all of this information is that there are thousands of niches waiting to be harvested on the Internet right now. Does this mean you should build a site using the keyword content of "Forest Lake Minnesota Vacation Spots?" No, not at all.
A good place to start would be to look at your own interests. Then take some time and research many of the words that might be common yet specific to that topic. Once you find a group to these key words that are not being taken care of by the current web sites on the Internet, you're ready to go.
Why is it important that you choose something that you are interested in? Because you are going to be married to that topic for a good while, during which, you will be writing content, doing research, writing articles and on and on. So, if you aren't interested or excited about the topic, you have just married yourself to a topic that you will probably find quite laborious to do the work for building a good content website. Again, it just makes sense that if there are tens of thousands of topics like this out there, you might as well work on one that you enjoy, right?
The reason people write articles like this one is to give other people access to themselves. This is done by giving away some knowledge that they have gained through their own efforts and experience. By giving access to themselves, they get access to others. This is when people get to help each other, collaborate on projects and share tool and Ideas. I would love to help you any way I can.
