Micro Niche Finder for Affiliate Marketing


Using Micro Niche Finder is a very popular tool to have available for article marketing, and affiliate marketing in general.

If you're newer to affiliate marketing, and don't have the funds to finance your efforts, Micro Niche Finder is a must have resource to have at your disposal. Since it has lifetime updates, it's something that you don't have to worry about buying again.

There is a bit of an initial investment, but it's one of the best investments that you can make to become successful in the industry. Although you can do many things to make money without spending a lot, you will have to spend a few dollars. I consider Micro Niche Finder and a web hosting account to be two of things that you really must have.

Article marketing is an excellent way to acquire backlinks to your sites, and even to make money directly from links in the articles to affiliate products. If you're using EzineArticles, just make sure you don't link to an affiliate site directly. Just register a .99 domain (for now), and just an .info domain is fine. Then redirect it in the control area of GoDaddy, or where ever you choose to register your domains.

Once you do your keyword research with Micro Niche Finder, you'll have plenty of keywords, article topics, and titles, for your article writing efforts.

Micro Niche Finder Review


If you considering Micro Niche Finder as a purchase, I can highly recommend it. Although the price was recently raised from $67 to $97, I still believe it's a fantastic value.

Obviously, it will help you to find a niche market in order to make money, whether it be from PPC, an eCommerce store selling physical products, or marketing products as an affiliate marketer. I use phpBayPro and BANS (Build a Niche Store) to set up eBay affiliate stores, and it comes in very handy for finding a niche for my next store.

It has a nice 'Brainstorm' feature that helps you to get started with an idea, giving (25) recent searches, as well as a 'Hot Trends' button that will also give you some recent searches (100) that have been done on Google.

One good thing about the purchase, is that the software has free updates for life, something I believe others should follow. There's nothing worse that spending a lot of money on a product, and then having to pay nearly that much again in a week or month for an updated version. There's also a convenient 'Check for Program Updates' link on the home page of the software making it very easy to be sure you also have the latest version.

To try and go through every feature of the software is beyond the scope of this review, but I will say it has anything that most could probably need (or want) from this type of software.

Two of the really great features are the (OCI) online commercial intent, and (SOC) strength of competition. The first being a measure (in percent) of the intent to buy from the searchers. The latter is a metric of the relative strength of the other sites that are targeting your same niche. It's given in colored circles, green for little strength of competition, yellow for moderate, and of course red for don't even try it.

Although you could do pretty much everything the program does manually, it speeds things up greatly, and makes your life much easier. Plus it also lets you store all of your keywords in one place, in seperate 'Projects.'

As you can tell I'm a big advocate for Micro Niche Finder. I think it's one of the best tools that I've purchased to help in my affiliate marketing endeavors. For the price, I don't see how you can go wrong.

One thing I should mention, I kept saying I was going to purchase the software, but I ended up screwing around until the price went from $67-$97. I'm not saying it is definitely going up again, but I really believe it will probably go to $127 in the next 6 months or so...just a thought.
