Love your guides, learned a ton from your posts. Hell, your aggressive spending in the Marketplace followed by detailed reviews helped distinguish shit services from the good ones. So thank you for that!
If time permits, I would love to see a keyword research and niche selection guide. This process is unique for everyone. From some PMs i had sent you couple years ago, you gave away some pointers on amazon keywords. How you dont necessarily select best xxxx or xxxxx review kws but instead go for generic/brand terms if im not mistaken. It would be nice to see how you navigate through this process!
Thank you for the kind words.
I never thought about a kw research guide as that is my weakness. I am good at analyzing serps and kws, but not discovery. I usually outsource this or do competition analysis to fond keywords. But I guess it could be helpful.
Niche selection is easier. I pick topics I know about or want to know more about.
Hmmm... i guess now I have a couple guide ideas. Thank you! If you have any questions, shoot me a PM.
I still consider you a friend Joe and can talk.
Back on topic, another unshared tip is letting a project age.
All my failed sites that I did not test to death are renewed and no work is done for at least six months.
I eventually go back to these sites with fresh eyes.
I always turn these sites inro pofitable ventires. I either find my seo error or set them up to sell guest posts.
The lesson is you never tuely fail in seo until you drop the website. I have. Few failures but in general, my non ranking sites are just abandoned until i can revisit them.
