Starting a new blog to make money online?
Are you about to start a new blog and want to make money online?
Failure and success depends on the niche you choose. If you choose a niche that is all ready crowded means you have a higher number of competitions. Unless you have enough time and expertise it is going to be hard for you to fight with the already established ones.
If you look closely at many Bloggers who are making money online without having a large audience, you will probably notice that they do so by having a large number of small blog that strategically fill search engine gaps. The idea is to go out and find under represented keywords and filling these gaps with a website or blog of your own. Another benefit to using this method is that you can usually find a good keyword-rich domain because the lack of competition for that keyword.
One example of this would be starting a “Make Money Online” blog. You might have a great blog, but you are going to be competing with 11 million other sites or blog, which are established well. If you start with a small keyword, but only have 1,000 odd sites or blog to compete with for traffic on that keyword, you are better off than high traffic keywords. Simple SEO techniques could easily get you into the top 3 and net a lot more traffic than a low ranking on a high traffic keyword.

With the right tools you can find the keywords you can rank high on the search engine. Check “Cash the Web” on Google and see what I have done. You have to type multi word keywords with in quotes.
What do you find? Amazing right! I started this site only on 14th of Dec. 2007. Got it listed in Google and Ranking with in top 3. My goal is to rank within top 3 for keyword “Make Money Online”. It is a long term goal and I am confident I can Archive that!
So, let’s get back to your blog! Found a name? Ok, now check that name & keyword with Google AdWords trend . Also do a quick search on Google and you will immediately know how many sites you have to compete!
I’ll give you an example. Search “credit card” and you’ll find over 300 million results returned by Google. Now the search for “credit card gas rewards” returns only 1960 results. So it is better to start blogging about “Credit Card Gas Rewards” than to jump in the major category “Credit Card”.
Now don’t think I am trying to keep you out of the major keywords. What I am trying to say is that they are hard to compete.
Ok! Now you want know how I did get indexed by Google so fast? It is a story for another time! ;0)
