“how to make wind chimes” update

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know of some curious fact’s on my
little “how to make wind chimes” experiment. It’s been a couple of
hours since the original post, and we are now in page 2 of google
results, that is No.12 and No.15… BUT… but not with imventurer.com
website. Instead, we’re 12th with Digg - How to make wind chimes experiment and 15th with How to make wind chimes experiment (reddit.com).

Those are the firestarters Ed is talking about in 30DC Day15 and they start it quickly I may tell you!

My
guess is that since imventurer.com as a new domain doesn’t yet have the
refresh cycle those big site have, and are not yet trusted by google
100%, so we’ll see when the original blog post “how to make wind
chimes” will appear in google. Another guess is that when it does, it
will be on first results page. Fingers crossed!

How to make wind chimes experiment

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

I would like to try this how to make wind chimes experiment, so forgive me for this article all you guys that are actually trying to find info on making wind chimes. If you want to learn how to make wind chimes “How to make wind chimes” is the right place to go.

Currently we are No 27 on google search for this particular keyphrase. This was one of my favorites, but as it turned out, G-trends saved me a lot of trouble dealing with this niche by telling me there isn’t much traffic there.

I guess I’ll check on my progress in a couple of days, and I’ll keep you posted. Now don’t worry, I’m not going to make 6 “How to make wind chimes” articles here as Ed suggested, just this one, so I’ll see how this experiment goes.

Keep an eye out: How to make wind chimes google search link.

This is really exciting!

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Now, perhaps you’re reading Mike Mindel’s blog at www.webventurer.com . If you don’t you should. Go there and hit that orange RSS button, cause it is really worth it. In one of his posts he showed us something funny. He ranked for most of his research keyphrases that he uses for thirtydaychallenge niche drill in the top Google search results! And he only wrote an article on niche research, not even optimizing the page for particular keyword. Spooky!

The same thing happened to me. Check this out:

* seaglass windchimes 2nd place
* sea glass windchimes 4th place
* “how to make wind chimes” affiliate 1st place, and somebody actually clicked to my site :)

I am looking at my website logs and these are all real people that used google to type in those phrases.

This is the true power of niche marketing. If the niche keyphrase is carefully chosen, you can’t loose, even if your SEO stinks bad.

30DC Day 13 ain’t that cursed as I thought it might be

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Hey guys,

After I’m (mostly) done with 30DC Day13, I may freely say it wasn’t that bad as I feared during the weekend. It really is easy to write articles. For my two niches I found plenty of hi quality 24k golden nuggets, and ideas were sparking instantly. Now, as with all new techniques we learn, it needs some brushing, but in a month or two from now, I can see myself exploring another set of niches, and maybe outsourceing article writing as Ed does. I hear there are people who’ll write articles for $6 a piece, but haven’t check the quality of copywrite yet.

And here is some inspiration for you guys:

“He created 38 niche sites, got them up to $53,000 dollars in profits and then sold them for 5 million dollars and he sold his first Internet Business for 3.5 million dollars. He’s also bought and sold $14 million dollars worth of web sites in the last 12 months”

Who do you think I’m talking about. Yeah, you’re right. Ed, you’re the man! Ed Dale Bio on Stompernet.

Male Yeast Infection disproportion

Friday, August 10th, 2007

While doing my 30DC key phrase research using ‘male yeast infection’, first thing that I noticed is a big disproportion in GTrends when comparing ‘male yeast infection’ with a know phrase that is rated No1 in Google.

Compared to a different, lower volume No1 key phrase it became even more confusing.

The first comparison

The first keyword comparison

Looking at this graph you might think that the concurrent keyword has more or less the equal number of visits per day as ‘male yeast infection’ that is somewhere around 550. But in reality, on a good day it has 60, and on a bad day only 15 visits a day! We are talking HUGE difference here, ten times less traffic.

The second comparison

The second keyword comparison

Now, the second keyword delivers an average of 33 unique visitors daily. So when I checked In Languages two days ago, this is very important, red bar representing ‘yu midi’ keyword was 11, ‘male yeast infection’ defaults to 100, so ‘yu midi’ should get 11% of ‘male yeast infection’ clicks. That’s 60 clicks. It was getting 33. By the way, I’ll show you the way how to figure out the exact percentage of lower volume keywords against higher ones, in one of my next posts.

Now what’s interesting is this: While I went to google trends today to get snapshots for this blog post my ‘yu midi’ keyword gets only 5%. How about that! What this tells us is that the English bar calculation is based on clicks from last couple of days, and that ‘male yeast infection’ is highly influenced by thousands of thirty day challengers that are using it in last three days.

Here is the google analytics data for ‘yu midi’ keyword to prove that ‘yu midi’ keyword, however, didn’t change it’s traffic dramatically in past two days:

YU MIDI Keyword

Note that the last graph value is current day that isn’t over yet.

Conclusion

With a possible fluctuation based on assumption that not all users will click on the No1 rated result for a specific search term, the conclusions are:

  • Google Trends is highly unpredictable tool for data analysis of low volume level keywords
  • ‘male yeast infection’ has obviously lost some credibility in the past three days
  • use your own No1 rated keywords (or the ones you have access to) to calibrate Google trends
  • Even then, don’t take results for granted

I would like to hear from you if you have done your similar research, because together we can calibrate Google Trends more precisely if we’d all share our results.
