Hi everybody,
After reading a lot on this forums I said it's time to action - I won't get more money by reading and reading so I gotta do something so I decided to create a micro-niche site. I got Market Samurai, did some researched and I got a long-tail keyword made out of 3 words which pays great but there are many results and lot of competition. But adding different words after that I managed to get to smaller niches with competition I know I can bet. So this goes as following
- keyword1 - per MS CPC is $7.72, google results 110.000, competition is almost all green (only site in red in the last columns with title, header etc and 1 site in orange). Even if I don't get first should be pretty easy to reach first page.
- keyword2 - per MS CPC is $4.18, google shows 81.000 results, competition - 2 websites in red, the others green.
- keyword3 - per MS CPC is $2.36, google shows 238.000, competition is all green
- the general keyword (the one made out of 3 words) has CPC $4.96 and 252,000 results in google at singular and 143,000 at plural
In Google adwords k1&2 has 260 global searches each, k3 has 16 and the general keyword has 12.100. I know that ideally the keywords should have more searches in Google but I want to start with something easier so I can test the waters, see if I can really make it on the first position. Idea is if I get at least the first page for these keywords I should start ranking pretty well for the general keyword as it's included in all of them.
And my question after the entire story - In google adwords the CPC amount is different from the one in MS and not just by a couple of cents. The one that shows $4.18 in MS, google says $1.1. The one that shows $7.72, in Google says $0.85 and the one that is $2.36 google says $0.78. I would say that if the CPC would be $7.72 it's worth those 260 searches per month, but if the CPC is $0.85 it's definitely not worth it. So what figure is closer to reality, the one from MS or the one from Google?
Thanks!
