Here come day 3 of thirty day challenge

Today is about competition analysis using market samurai. There are literally two types of competition analysis can be used. Competition analysis using market samurai for samurai attack (YEE HAA) or traditional competition analysis.

Competition Analysis using market samurai

According to thirty day challenge, there are two basic criteria for finding a micro niche keyword.

SEOT >= 80 and SEOC <= 30,000 (Wait! I know you gonna ask me what is SEOT or SEOC)

SEOT = search engine optimization traffic;

SEOC = search engine optimization competition

There is a section in market samurai keyword analysis, which we can use the filter mode to meet our criteria above.

There is where I set the SEOT min = 80 and SEOC max = 30000.

Easy right? In actual SEO technique, there is more than that … (scary?)

After that I can start to analyse the keyword… pretty cool rite? (Actually this tool is damn good!)

In thirty day challenge, we only need to come out one micro niche keyword. Yes, only one. Nothing more than that.

Basically I’ve come out with few micro niche keywords in case some of the keywords are not profitable. This is for my future expansion. (like world of warcraft expansion )

Search Engine Optimization with market samurai

Ok, here come the cool part! I like this one.

Beside analyze those keywords in keyword research section. Now comes to SEO competition analysis.

This is going to be total comprehensive and complicated…!

Deep in our micro niche keyword on SEO competition… Bomb! Here comes the result… This is my first micro niche keyword and hopefully it will get to rank number 1 in Google.

I’m still in the mist of analyzing this data… So based on SEOT = 111 and SEOC = 10300, this is the results analyzed by market samurai.

There are two section in this SEO optimization…

Off page optimization: DA, PR, ALX, BLP, BLD, BLEG, DMZ & YAH

On page optimization: Title, URL, Desc, Head & CA

Wow, looks tough for a newbie to understand those terms right? But for veteran marketer, those are “chicky pie”…

So, will my keyword going to rank in Google number one spot?

Sorry, I don’t have the answer yet, will give you the answer once the keyword is ready to dance.

Here’s the task for Day 3 Thirty Day Challenge

1. Get your keyword to meet SEOT and SEOC criteria
2. Analyze keyword in SEO competition

My progress:

• I’ve found few micro niche keywords. One for 30Dc and others for standby (for future expansion.. Sorry, this is not games add on )
• Job done on Day 3.. take a rest.

There is no charge for awesomeness (thirty day challenge motto?)

It’s day 2 in thirty day challenge. Today, market samurai is introduced and this is another powerful profitable niche marketing tool to be available for all thirty day challenge members.

See, another freebies from thirty day challenge.

Market samurai still in BETA testing but it is still free for thirty day challenge members. I’ve started to use market samurai to do my keyword research. Not bad! If you want to try it, just head over to marketsamurai.com. But so far market samurai still has plenty of bugs to fix, that’s why it is still in beta stage.

Looking for microniche

In day 2, use your previous 10 ideas generated in day 1, and then start to look for the micro niche.

What is micro niche?

Ok, that’s interesting!

1) If you go to Google and type Golf, here’s the results:

“Results 1 - 10 of about 593,000,000 for golf“- There is a MARKET for golf

2) If you go to Google and type Golf Club, here’s the results:

“Results 1 - 10 of about 44,200,000 for golf club“- This is a MEGA NICHE

3) If you go to Google and type Cavity Backed Irons, here’s the results:

“Results 1 - 10 of about 361,000 for cavity backed irons” - This is a NICHE

4) If you go to Google and type Forged Cavity Backed Irons, here’s the results:

“Results 1 - 10 of about 49,500 for forged cavity backed irons” - This is a MICRO NICHE

Is forged cavity backed irons related to golf?

The answer is yes! But the search results of 49,500 still consider far from a micro niche. What we are looking for is below 30,000 search results according to thirty day challenge criteria.

Basically, what is the criteria for a micro niche?

As I know from thirty day challenge, the meet the criteria of micro niche “keyword”, we should be getting maximum 30,000 search results. This can be categorized as below:

• 1,000,000 +  (A MARKET)
• 100,000 - 1,000,000 (MEGA NICHE)
• 30,000 - 100,000 (NICHE)
• less than 30,000 (MICRO NICHE)

Basically we are looking for keywords with less than 30,000 search results in Google.

Here’s the task for Day 2 Thirty Day Challenge

1. Learn to use market samurai for keyword research.
2. If market samurai is not working for you, move to manual keyword research using google adwords.
3. See all the videos in Day 2 and tutorials for market samurai.
4. Put all 10 ideas in market samurai and study for keyword research.

My progress:

• explore keyword research using market samurai
• trying to master the technique of keyword research using market samurai
• It’s tough to keep up the pace in thirty day challenge. Have to keep on the momentum with my own team members and show our commitment.

Sorry folks! Time is running out, see you in thirty day challenge!
