Being my first BHW share, I figured I'd teach you guys how to dominate niches. I don't mean getting a website to #1 of Google; even though getting to #1 is part of the process, I won't be talking about this, since there are many resources available for use, plus ranking a website is easy as hell.

I am not a wordsmith, so bear with me.

First, I like to choose my niche. Choosing a niche is one of the hardest part in the domination process because you should like the niche and make sure it's profitable.

To check if a niche is profitable, I like to see how many people are selling stuff in that niche. The more the merrier.

I'm not diving into details, but if you are confused about niche research, just use the search bar here, or Google it.

Another thing I should add, a niche is not a keyword. There is a big difference between niches and keywords. Niches are markets, keywords are not.

----------------------------
----------------------------

This is a little off topic, but it proves a point.

Typical SEO'r

Choose a keyword, thinking they found an awesome micro niche.
Purchase a EMD.
Builds website and gets around 5 pieces of content.
Ranks and makes around $5/day from that site
They think "they r teh richest"
Scales up

If you do this, then you should drop what you are doing and relearn marketing.

----------------------------
Keywords
----------------------------

When choosing a keyword, you want to get a keyword with as many searches as possible if you want to make the big bucks. Like I'm talking a steady $200/day per niche, with spikes of $1000/day. I will talk about making money later. When I choose my keywords, I like to got with high searches and high competition.

----------------------------
Websites
----------------------------

I tend to start off with ten domain names in a niche, then if I'm getting good results, I add on more domains.

So let's say I am entering the "dog grooming niche." I am now going to purchase around 10 domains to start off, just to test the waters and to see if it's profitable enough for me to scale.

So I plan it out like this. Basically I want to make :

My main site, to collect leads - A generalized website talking about Dog grooming.
A forum - To get some social media and user generated content.

Then for the last 8 domains, I target buyer keywords for products related to dog grooming. So if I see a book on click bank, I'll do "book title" + review, etc.

----------------------------
Monetization
----------------------------

This is the fun part. So now I have 9 blogs and one forum. 8 blogs are going to be reviewing a particular product to rake in the affiliate commisions.

The forum is going to be used for advertising different affiliate products, getting user generated content, and getting high quality backlinks. I can even sell links on the forums and sell advertisements. The forums will most likely get a higher PR than my other sites in the niche because Google will think it is a authority website, and it should be.

Lastly, is my main site, where I collect leads and give information to my readers. The leads I collect from my main site will then be used to sell even more products. For example, if I have a 1k subscribers in my dog grooming niche, I can send out an email showing them one of my review sites. They buy and I get money.

You see, I didn't even touch on adsense because I think that if you want to make some serious cash, Adsense isn't the way to go. If you can get 10 people to click a link, and 2 of them buy a $40 product you make $80, but if you have them click your adsense adds, you can hopefully make $1.



----------------------------
Dominating the Niche
----------------------------

So I have 10 sites. 8 Review sites, 1 forum, and 1 lead gen site.

I then interlink them creating a pyramid. It's like a mini network of relevant sites, each self promoting another site.

I have my main lead gen site on top, since it makes the most money; my review sites below, and my forums linking back to my review sites.

So I can use the forum sites, to boost my link relevancy on my 9 other sites to get some PR up. I can then use each review site to help boost my main site to get some PR up.

This works out extremely well when you have C-class ip's so you won't have a footprint and the same IP.

Also, the monetization process doesn't have to stop there. With the list, I can always create my own product and get full commissions. They say fast money is good money

----------------------------
End Note
----------------------------

I rank each site like normal, targeting different keywords. My main focus is on my main site because I want that to rank well in the SERPS. While my main sites are ranking, I get money from the review and forum sites.

I also forgot, I sometimes review Amazon products if a niche doesn't have many CPA offers. I don't use Adsense because it doesn't make any sense.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask. I might get into ranking in the next couple of posts...

Interesting. Sounds like fun if I had more time, but I don't. So I will stay focused on my little micro niche sites that bring me 15-20 bucks a day.

Sounds like a lot of work and 0 free time. For me working as little as possible and earning decent $$ is the success , but thanks for the post !

Well not really. I outsource the writing and have tools to build the backlinks. I can set up a mini network in like 3 hours. I spend like 15 min per day, checking and sending out emails. And I do around a hour of PPC.

nice method.. but this consume a lot of time..

would google punish you for linking to your own websites?

I use C-Class iP's so each site will be unique. Some people say Google will punish you, but a backlink is a backlinks.
