If there is one thing that virtually every Blog publisher has in common, it’s that: ‘they want to get more traffic to their blog!’

They say that if you want to be successful, you should ‘find out what people want, and give it to them‘.

With an estimated 30 million blogs online already, and thousands more being set up every day, that’s one heck of a demand that is just waiting to be filled.

Well, the good news is; I recently purchased the rights to an excellent info product, which shows blog owners loads of ’simple, but highly effective techniques’ for driving massive amounts of long-term traffic to their blogs.

It’s a low-cost/info-packed ebook, with a huge potential market for the information.

You can start making money with this almost instantly, because it also comes with a ready-made sales page and graphics.

If you want to drastically increase the traffic to your own blog, or make a load of money from people who do…

Blog Traffic Secrets

This is a well-written ebook for a very hot market, so don’t miss out!

I received a lot of similar questions following yesterday’s article about setting up blog directories for niche markets.  So, I thought it would be a good idea to post a follow up here, to iron out a few concerns people were having.

The question I was getting asked was:

‘If I set up a directory listing just blogs about say: ‘fishing’, wouldn’t most people just go to Blogger or similar big directories, and just search for ‘fishing’ blogs there?

The simple answer to that is ‘YES‘, a lot of people will go to the existing big general blog directories and search on there.  However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for thousands of much smaller, but tightly focused niche blog directories.

I recently came across a very useful new directory which lists Internet Marketing blogs, and I think you should take a look.

IMBlogs.net is run by ’smart cookie’ Michelle Stahl, who has set up a ‘dedicated’ directory just for blogs about Internet marketing.

Directories of websites and resources, have been one of the most successful Internet business models, since the Internet began. It’s no surprise that when blogs started to grow rapidly in popularity, it wasn’t long before people started to throw up directories of blogs as well.

What Michelle has done is focus on one tight niche market, and build a blog directory ‘just’ for people interested in this ’specific’ information.

I’m not quite sure when you last visited my blog, but earlier this morning I was told about a problem with my blog. Thank you Blaz, I appreciate you letting me know :-)

When I came and had a look, all my blog posts had disappeared!  Just a big fat error message sitting at the top of my blog.

Was I gutted? Yes!

Did I panic? No, well maybe a little bit.

I haven’t got a clue about programming databases or PHP scripts (which is what runs my Wordpress blog).  I did buy a book to try and learn to program with PHP once, but I never got past the first 5 pages, because it looked really daunting, and I felt instantly bored with the thought of learning it all.

However, I managed to find the cause of my blog problem, and fix everything within a few minutes.  If you publish your own blog you might want to know how I did it…

Yesterday, I decided to set up a new content site targeting niche market.  I almost made a big goof, by registering a domain that I believe is probably banned from Google.  Thankfully, I have a few checks which I now run through before I register a new domain, and that helped me to spot a potential problem before it happened.

Here’s what I did…

After doing some keyword research, I decided on a niche site to target.  Off I went to http://www.Godaddy.com to see what good domain names were available.

The niche I have found looks pretty good. 

• Plenty of searches being done for a lot of different keywords.
• A decent amount being spent on pay-per-click advertising. From a quick initial brainstorm, I’ve found at least 200+ keywords in the $1.50 to $3.00 range, with some that are much higher ($20).
• I’ve already got access to lot of private label articles, for this niche. Plus I’ve found plenty of information in the public domain, which I can change around a bit and re-use.
• There’s is also a number of high paying affiliate programs and products to promote in this niche, some with recurring commission.
• The competion in the search engines is fairly strong, but I’ve already spotted quite a few keywords that are not being targeted too heavily by other sites.

It’s going to take a lot of effort on my part, but this does look like a great niche to build a content site for.

Now, having done all this ground work, and then deciding that I’m going to be spending quite a bit of time developing this site, I really wanted to get myself a decent domain name for it.

This is when I could have made a big mistake…

If you are looking for an idea for creating your own information product, you might want to take a look at the software you ‘already own’ or have access to.  It might just hold the key to a popular information product.

One thing is certain, people are using software more and more, to help speed up things like research.  It’s this area that I want to focus on today.

If you look at the software that you already use, or perhaps the programs that everyone is talking about in forums and newsletters, it’s easy to get a feel for the type of information people are desperate for.

Over the last couple of years, there has been an epidemic of new software programs helping you with ‘keyword research’.  It’s glaringly obvious that there is a massive demand from people who want to:

• Build ‘bigger‘ lists of keywords.
• Discover ‘unexposed‘ niche markets.
• Find opportunities to profit from pay- per-click (PPC) advertising like Google AdSense.
• Uncover untapped markets and hidden demands for products and services that are currently not being catered for.

To help satisfy this huge demand for specific keyword research data, dozens of new keyword tools have been created.  If you are not a software programmer or developer, it doesn’t mean that you can’t capitalize on this growing market.

4 Reasons Why People Won’t Buy
The Latest Keyword Research Tool…

1. For every person that buys the latest ‘all singing and dancing’ keyword tool, there are probably a hell of a lot more people who would like to, but can’t afford the cost of the software.
2. Many people who own keyword research tools, don’t get the most out of them, because they either don’t know how to use them properly, or they don’t have the time to put them to good use.
3. Some people have the time, the money and the ability to use these keyword tools, but they prefer to use their efforts elsewhere in their business.
4. Some people just don’t want the hassle of learning a new software program, and just want everything packaged up, and presented to them on a plate, ready to use.

I’ve used tons of different software programs over the years, and I’ve yet to find one that does ‘everything’ for you.

This creates opportunities for you, because you can combine your own ‘human touch’ with one or more software progams, thus creating a product or service that is unique to you, and not available by using just software products on their own.

Look at the four ‘reasons’ I’ve listed above, and see if you can come up with an info product or service to satisfy these people. 

Now, there are already a few people offering access to huge lists of keywords that they have already compiled.  They are useful, but you still have to do a fair bit of work to find an ideal market, and then gather all the relevant keyword information you require for your particular needs.

What If…

You used your existing keyword tools (or get access to some good ones), and do all the research so that other marketers don’t have to. You find profitable niche markets where there are searches being done for the main keywords, but with lower than normal competition.

• Provide information on the number of searches.
• Number of competing web pages in Google.
• How many ‘pay-per-click’ advertisers are targeting those keywords.
• How much money the advertisers are paying per click.

One keyword research tool that I have been using a lot, and really like is: Keyword Analyzer.  It will provide you with all of the information above, plus a whole lot more.  You could even combine using that with the power or Wordtracker, to really expand and refine your research.

Then…

Maybe you could use SEO Elite to analyze the ’search engine optimization’ of top 5 or 10 websites on Google, for the main keywords you identify. Provide a detailed report of the top sites people will be competing against, with information like their Google page rank and link popularity.

You might want to also include details of good relevant affiliate products, for them to make additional sales from.

Anyone can obtain this information themselves if they wanted to.  What you’d be doing is presenting people with ready-made niche market research.  It would be a huge time saver for them.

For this example idea, I have talked about producing a niche market report, by combining the power of 3 different software tools.  However, this is just one product idea of many out there.  There are literally thousands of software programs on the market, performing every imaginable task. 

Take a closer look at the software you already own, and the popular software programs everyone seems to be buying.  Could you combine the power of a few of these programs, with your ‘human touch’, and create your own information product or service?

Get your thinking cap on!
