Niche Marketing Tools / Site search
Jay Stockwell's remarkable "Microsite Miracles" ebook shows you exactly how he set up several "micro" sites (they're smaller than mini sites... generally just one page). Microsites are tightly focussed, keyword-rich or keyphrase-rich, and very tasty to the search engines.
Using the strategy he outlines in the ebook, Jay quickly saw his microsites top listed by Google. And in this short manual (under 50 pages) he describes his strategy in detail. Basically it's a FORMULA and it's so simple that pretty much anybody can use it. Here is a report on how to use microsites in your niche marketing.

Have you ever wanted to know the odds of financial success for a new niche business idea *before* you invest time and money in setting up your new website? That is, how many people are searching for your key words [demand] versus how many other sites are devoted to the same topic [supply].
NicheFinder is a clever, easy-to-use program will do all the hard work for you. To see what it can do, I took NicheFinder for a test drive. That detailed report includes this color chart of the results when I used NicheFinder to investigate the key words "tv dish satellite".
Once your site gets even a few links from the high-traffic "super affiliate" sites (the ones that appear at the top of search engine listings), you will leverage their popularity and begin to get a huge amount of FREE traffic.
But how to find these complementary sites? You could do it the slow way... one at a time, following up each site that appears in the Google listings under your keywords, identifying their link popularity, tracking their email contact address, writing individually to each of them, etc. Or you could automate the process by using Super Affiliate Generator. This professional software tool goes out onto the web, examines all the sites that use your key words or phrases, identifies the sites with the highest traffic, then reports them to you in a single list... with the contact details of the webmaster. After that, you do a couple of small edits to one of the pre-tested contact letters and hit Send.
Here's an article about the niche marketing success enjoyed by Roy Oron, the whiz behind AffiliateFinder.
Super Affiliate Locator (with a built-in income generator)
A smaller program with less functionality but the $29 price tag is attractive. So is the income generator that comes with it (it's making me money!).
Use this free browser plug-in to find potential link partners and product suppliers, or check on any site's traffic ranking. Also find sites that are related to any site you visit. Very handy. Its small interface displays neatly near the top of your screen.
There are 2 main ways to get your site listed: Let the spiders find it as they follow links from other sites, or submit it. And you can either submit manually or you can use automated search engine submission.
Here are the amazing results of my 5 months case study of one of the automated submitters. After using this service for 5 months, I found this cheaper automated search engine submission service with pretty much the same functionality but a lower price.
LimitlessFollowup provides a full-featured easy-to-install script that sits on your server. The folks on your list see no ads (but you do when you log in to your easy-to-use control panel). From Nathan Lynch. It's that good, I dont know why it's FREE. The only thing it doesnt do is let you send an email to your whole list.
If you want that function as well, Autorespond-it is where you need to go. It has a wonderful set of features (including list export capability), again for FREE. But it sits on their server, not yours. It's also ad-free.
Maybe you'd feel happier with a commercial product because free services do let you down at times, and service difficulties dont get the owner's attention as quickly as when the service is an income-generator. Despite being inexpensive (only $9.97 a month), Virtual-responders delivers a huge range of features including unlimited 52-message autoresponders, list export capability, list import capability... and start them anywhere in your series, full personalisation, analysis of unsubscribe rates per message, custom footers, no ads, broadcast capability (ie, you can send messages to your entire list), ad tracking with short URLs, clickthrough analysis to show which links are being clicked, and more.
This software will save you time by putting your ezine promotion on auto-pilot to 1100+ resources. It auto-submits your ezine listings, it auto-posts hundreds of free ads, and it auto-blasts your article submissions. Getting the word out doesn't get any easier than this! Promoting your ezine will still take you some some time, but automating the process can cut that by as much as 80%.
PS: There's also a 2 tier affiliate program. And here's a list of recommended 2 tier affiliate programs.
The world's leading search engine? By adding Google Search to all your websites, you not only allow your visitors to search your site without leaving it, but you can be sure Google will regularly spider your site.
No matter how big your niche website grows, 500 megabytes of diskspace will probably be enough. And 20 gigabytes of data transfer each month is also huge (especially for a niche site). And that's what you get from Lunar Pages. Several of my sites are hosted there, and I recommend them (they're a pleasure to deal with). They are *not* part-time diskspace resellers... they even provide toll-free telephone support. All for just $7.95 a month. Plus they get high scores on the user ratings (here and here). There is also a public forum for users (it had 3792 registered members when I checked it last)... which is a pretty brave thing for a webhosting company to provide... unless they're delivering a great service. They are! Heaps of other features, including FREE setup and a 30-day money back guarantee. In case it's not obvious, I'm impressed.
