Popular Niches

2009-12-18T07:28:00.008-05:00

A strategy which is often used on Keywords searches is to look back and see what people have been searching for the most over a selected period of time. This is a good gauge of what the markets specifically seek. What you can find is some popular niches. I went to Mike's Marketing Tools to see this list over the last 90 days at it is just astounding!

As expected all the search engines were at the top with a combined figure of searches around 2 million. Then you get down into the middle of the list only to discover these little niches and micro niche searches. This is exactly the point of looking at a list like this.

Right off the bat you can find a micro-niche bananza! For instance - BIKINI @ #96 had 32,683 and then further on down the list you have BIKIN WALLPAPERS @ #205 had 17,541 and then a little more down the line - MICRO BIKINI @ #286 13,660. Can you see the possiblities of what a list like this can offer?

Now this is not all you would do to find a popular niche, but it can definitely start you off in the right direction. Keyword research is such a vital part of an overall SEO strategy it could never be emphasized enough.

SEO 4x

In the quest for top search engine rankings there is nothing better than properly preparing your blogs, webpages, and most importantly articles with correct SEO techniques. Of course Keywords are the key for the most popular searches, but implemating effective SEO methods will drive heavier traffic to your sites and blogs more than anything else you can do.

Steve Weber is a great teacher in search optimization techniques and has a very effective and accomplished product he's relaunched called, SEO 4x for your benefit! I bough Steve adsense product and believe me it's more indepth than I could ever imagine and taught me more about online marketing than anything Ive ever seen.

If you want to drive as much traffic as possible to you websites and blogs consider taking a look at Steve Weber's SEO 4x instructional course. Correct SEO techniques are what internet marketing is all about!

Yahoo Buzz

A little hidden gem out there to discover what people are searching for most is Yahoo Buzz. Ranking 20 sites with statistics on their movements every day is a fabulous way to track what people are searching for and want to read about!

Yahoo Buzz tells you the top movers. Who's climbing the ladder is a good indicator to watch because it really shows who is getting the most hits consistantly. Another side avenue of Yahoo Buzz is The Buzz Log. The Buzz Log gives you little snipet articles on who could be creating a little buzz out there and this indicates the possibility people might go searching for these topics and subjects.

Another excellent feature Yahoo Buzz offers is a break down of top searches between Actors, movies, music, sports, tv, video games, and decliners. Decliners show the twenty largest drop offs in search.

Thinking outside the box, these decliners may be even more valid for searches. Just because they're declining does not mean people still are not searching for them regularily. Going a niche decline may be a good thing!!

Main Street,Brattleboro, VT........

Only in Brattlboro, VT where they allowed people to walk around naked, and gave an activist on the town board the power to fire the police cheif, would come up with such a cacamamie idea to have Bush or Cheney arrested if they come to town. Why would they want to visit such a backwater, looney toon place anyway? Vermont is a beautiful place, and use to be quite conservative minded with common sense to back it up, but now has fallen into the abyss of "progressive" thought and electing the only admitted socialist to the senate. My has this state lost it's way.

In 35 years of NFL history, not one team has gone undefeated during the regular season. The New England Patriots secured victory Saturday night with a 38-35 victory over the New York Giants making the Patriots the fist team in history of the NFL to go unbeaten for the regular season with a 16-0 record. The 1972 dolphins went 14-o.

For the Patriots season here are some outstanding records they broke.

Tom Brady: 50 touchdown passes.
Randy Moss - 23 catches for touchdowns.
Patriots - 71 team touchdowns.
Patriots - 569 points scored.
Patriots - 18 consecutive wins.

Bad gifts, I get them every year. I suppose many of you do too. I'm not complaining, but I am pointing out this is something in which we must contend with at this wonderous time of year.

For one of my Christmas gifts I received the dreaded "Not another coffee mug!" It was possibly the ugliest coffee cup I have ever seen in my entire life. Sorta like the mother on the
movie Christmas Story stating, "Without a dout, that is the ugliest lamp I've ever seen!"

Now, I love the person who gave this mug to me, but for some reason after knowing me for almost 20 years, they still don't have a clue what I like!! I would have even preferred a nice CD, DVD, or the ole stand by of chocolate! How about, at the very least a chocolate candy filled coffee mug! Well, there's always next year.

Maybe this article by Andrew Tallman can alleviate some of the burden of dealing with bad gifts.

PLAY BY EAR PIANO HOME STUDY COURSES

2005-12-07T09:06:00.000-05:00

PIANO MAGIC
RATING: +10
CURRENT COST:$129.00
COURSE MATIRIAL: MP3, WMV Files,
BASIC & ADVANCED LESSON SITE PAGES
INTERACTIVE FORUM
PERSONAL HELP +10

Piano Magic intuitively suggests that it is a course
for beginners, but if it is anything, it's for ANYONE
who truely wants to play piano by ear and understand
"How Music Thinks."
With an on going simplistic approach to playing the piano,
there's no gimmicks here. You get much more than just some
online video of piano playing instruction. You literally get to ask
questions of other students and personally get your questions
answered by the Musical Magician himself, Michael Anderson.

"If you can hum, whistle or sing,
YOU can play piano by ear!"

Piano Magic teaches how to think "simply" about the music
before you play, so you don't have think "excessively" while
you play.
You won't be obtaining the skills of a concert pianist with this
course, but you will learn how to play intuitively in much less time
than anybody who's learning to read music or practice scales.
By the way, scales are for fishes, aren't they?

Piano Magic, knows the real trick of teaching anyone how
to play piano by ear. Go find out!

Presto!
