Recently, Google.com and WordTracker.com joined forces to create a site that makes it simple to do quick research for finding niches that may be profitable for your website.

You can test it at NicheBot.com.

It's easy to use. If you need more detailed research, they refer you directly to WordTracker.com.

Last October, I wrote an article on building web traffic, and I updated it earlier today. You can learn more about finding niches and building traffic to your site there. I recommend several tools that I use on my sites.

The updated article is: Building Website Traffic.

Finding a niche and building a site with real, helpful content is the only way that I know of to compete with the big companies that have much more time and more people than we'll ever have. They can control the general keywords and can afford to spend thousands of dollars in advertising every month.

For those of us with smaller budgets and less resources, we have to be more agile and look for treasure in the niches.

If you can identify a niche and build a website that has great content, you can build traffic and eventually monetize that traffic by selling your products, services, or recommending products for sale through affiliate programs or arranging to get finders fees for sending targeted leads to other companies.

You can learn a lot more about this from Ken Evoy.

He teaches you how to find profitable niches in his Affiliate Masters Course which you can download free. It's in PDF format.

Back in January, 2004, SFI Marketing Group introduced their new Veriuni Store, which makes well over 700 products available for their affiliates to sell.

I started analyzing the store in February and researching keywords and phrases in March and April.

As soon as I finished the emergency work I had to do on GeorgiaDragRacing.com in May, I turned my attention to building my version of the SFI Veriuni Store on JohnDilbeck.com.

I did this for a couple of reasons. Some of the affiliates on my sales team were having trouble finding all the products they could sell and building links to them.

So, I, to the best of my knowledge, built a site that links to all the current products using simple HTML. Now anyone on my sales team can find a product they want to link to and use my code as a sample they can modify by replacing my SFI ID with theirs and posting the links to their sites or blogs.

The other reason is so that I can attract new customers and sell the products myself. Please feel free to visit the store and purchase whatever strikes your fancy.

We offer hundreds of magazine subscriptions at competitive prices. I invite you to subscribe to the magazines of your choice.
