			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="/go/nichefinder"><img src="http://joshkotsay.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/nichefinder-box.gif" alt="Niche Finder Box" title="nichefinder-box" width="249" height="225" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2198" /></a></p>
<p>One of the biggest obstacles I see with internet marketers is learning how to find a niche market, and then picking the right keywords in that niche to target.  Either they choose keywords that are too broad and hard to rank for or they pick keywords that barely get any traffic at all.  Then they&#8217;ll spend several months building a site and getting backlinks, only to get frustrated by the lack of results once they find their keywords are no good.  Is this something that&#8217;s happened to you?  Yeah, me too.  There&#8217;s nothing worse in this business then wasting time and effort with no payback.</p>
<p><span id="more-2195"></span></p>
<p>Enter <a href="/go/nichefinder">Niche Finder</a>, a new software tool developed by Brad Callen.  It&#8217;s a really simple software that helps you to <strong>quickly identify</strong> how hard it is to rank for a particular keyword using it&#8217;s own proprietary Difficulty Score.  If you are trying to find a niche to enter, it&#8217;s extremely important that you find a set of keywords that are easy to rank for.  Otherwise, why waste your time build up a site that ends up getting no traffic?</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>As I mentioned, Niche Finder is extremely simple.  The software basically returns the same results as the Google Keywords Tool (Global Monthly searches, Local Monthly searches, etc) plus the Difficulty Score.  In fact, you need to link the software to your own Google Adwords account so it can function properly.  Don&#8217;t worry though, your Adwords account info is only stored locally.</p>
<p>Before running Niche Finder, you need to first find a niche market you want to target.  Once you find a niche you think has potential, just enter your niche&#8217;s main keyword phrase into the software and hit the green Start button.  The whole analysis process takes around 3 minutes long.  You&#8217;ll first see related keywords returned with their search volume, then the total results column will be populated, and finally the difficulty score will be calculated and shown.</p>
<div id="attachment_2210" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 550px">
	<img src="http://joshkotsay.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/nichefinder-inaction.jpg" alt="NIcheFinder - In Action" title="nichefinder-inaction" width="550" height="313" class="size-full wp-image-2210" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Using Niche Finder to find 'acne' keywords</p>
</div>
<p>On the left hand side, you&#8217;ll also see a colored icon next to each keyword that helps you quickly identify the keyword&#8217;s difficulty ranking.  <strong>(Green = Easy, Yellow = Moderate, Red = Hard)</strong>.  Niche markets that you&#8217;ll want to try are ones with several Green keywords that get a decent amount of search volume.  Although, if you do have more SEO experience, you can probably tackle some Moderate difficulty ones as well.</p>
<p>Niche Finder also includes some nice filtering options and all the columns can be sorted as expected.  For example, you can set a filter so that only the Easy keywords are shown in the software.  You can also export your results to html format so you can refer back to the results at a later time.</p>
<h3>Niche Finder Case Study</h3>
<p>Does Niche Finder work? Well, that really depends on whether you trust the software&#8217;s difficulty score.  Since I don&#8217;t know what components make up the score that Niche Finder uses, it&#8217;s hard to say.  I do have experience trying to rank for many different keywords, so I tried comparing my results with those of Niche Finder.  Using my un-scientific analysis, Niche Finder&#8217;s difficulty score does seem pretty reasonable.</p>
<p>However, to truly test the software, I think it would be interesting to do a case study.  So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing.  I&#8217;ve done a search using Niche Finder for the keyword <strong>&#8216;finding niches&#8217;</strong>. </p>
<p><img src="http://joshkotsay.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/nichefinder-results.jpg" alt="NicheFinder Results" title="nichefinder-results" width="500" height="116" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2207" /></p>
<p> From this list, I&#8217;m picking the following three keywords to try to target.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>find a niche</strong></li>
<li><strong>how to find a niche</strong></li>
<li><strong>find a niche market</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;m now going to try to rank this post for these three keywords.  If they are as &#8216;Easy&#8217; as Niche Finder says they are, you&#8217;ll see my post ranking for these keywords fairly quickly.  So make sure to come back to this post in a bit, and I&#8217;ll update you with my results.</p>
<h3>Niche Finder Conclusion</h3>
<p>Overall, I think <a href="/go/nichefinder">Niche Finder</a> shows quite a bit of potential for helping marketers find a niche market to target.  At first glance, the $97 price point might seem a little high, but what&#8217;s your time worth to you?  If the software can help you find just one good niche (and avoid entering one bad one) I think it&#8217;s worth it.  As always, Brad Callen&#8217;s products come with a 60 day money back guarantee, so there&#8217;s really no risk to trying it out yourself.  </p>

<p>If there is one thing, which makes Micro Niche Finder a cut above other keyword research tool, it is the SOC. Strength of Competition goes beyond telling you what the most searched keywords are and how many are competing.

Based on the SOC, the software will tell you the probability of you ranking high with the keywords you have chosen.</p>
<p><strong>Value of a Keyword Phrase</strong></p>
<p>The software identifies hot keywords searched for information only and keywords searched with intent to purchase. The difference between the two greatly affects monetization.</p>
<h3>Micro Niche Finder Cons</h3>
<p><strong>PC Only.</strong> If you own a Mac, you&#8217;re out of luck and will not be able to use Micro Niche Finder.</p>
<h3>Micro Niche Finder Recommendation</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="/go/npc3"><img src="http://joshkotsay.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/npc3.gif" alt="Niche Profit Classroom 3" title="npc3" width="466" height="58" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-339" /></a></p>
<p>If you are still stuck trying to figure out how to build profitable niche websites, <a href="/go/npc3">Niche Profit Classroom 3</a> is a membership site that you need to check out.  The site was first launched by Adam Short and Alen Sultanic in 2008 as a way to teach members their proven system to build simple niche websites that made money on <strong><u>COMPLETE Autopilot</u></strong>.  NPC 2.0 launched in 2009 and attracted over 5500 new members.  In this <strong>Niche Profit Classroom 3 review</strong> I&#8217;m going to share with you what&#8217;s new in the latest relaunch and how joining the site is going to make you some money.</p>
<p><span id="more-335"></span></p>
<h3>What Is Niche Profit Classroom 3?</h3>
<p>The Niche Profit Classroom 3 membership contains everything you need to know to follow the NPC system of building simple niche websites that make money on autopilot for you.  The core process is a proven system that has worked for its members for over 2 years now.  Intimidated by the technical process of building websites?  Don&#8217;t worry!  As part of the membership, you&#8217;ll have access to software that makes building and marketing these websites extremely simple.  </p>
<h3>Ready Made Niche Businesses</h3>
<p>One of my favorite things about Niche Profit Classroom 3 are the <strong>Niche Packs</strong>.  Every month, the NPC team releases 2 ready made niche business packs to the members area.  These are complete niche businesses that contain everything you need to start your website including:</p>
<ul>
<li>eBooks</li>
<li>Minicourses</li>
<li>Articles</li>
<li>Graphics</li>
<li>Keyword Lists</li>
<li>Market Research Reports</li>
</ul>
<p>These can be plugged directly into the Niche Profit Classroom SiteBuilder which will allow you to have your site up in literally seconds.  It is really quite amazing when you see it in action.</p>
<h3>Hands On Coaching</h3>
<p>Where Niche Profit Classroom 3 distinguishes itself though from other sites is the coaching.  Other sites just give you their materials and ask you to fend for yourself.  As a NPC 3 member, you&#8217;ll have access to the live webinars that Adam and Alan put on every 2 weeks.  There&#8217;s also live coaching calls every week where you can ask any questions that you are having problems with.  Plus there is the excellent Niche Profit Classroom forum where you can get immediate help from the other NPC coaches and members.  </p>
<h3>What&#8217;s New With NPC 3.0</h3>
<p>Niche Profit Classroom 3 is a massive upgrade over NPC 2.  It contains all new training, all new software tools, and a ton more coaching.  See why everyone who has reviewed <a href="/go/npc3">Niche Profit Classroom</a> raves about it and start using it to make your own money making niche websites.</p>
<h3>Can I Try It?</h3>
<p>To celebrate the Niche Profit Classroom 3 release, Adam is having a special<br />
promotion where you can get access to everything for just $1 for 14 days.</p>
<p>So you can go through the training, use the software, and launch your websites, all for just a buck. </p>
