Hey Jim, Signed up yesterday. Been exploring Niche-Bot but I haven’t gotten very far, as I have been reading about keyword research, and then I came across Market Research, and yes, you are right in regards to KW and Market Research. They are as different as Chalk and Cheese. lol

So now I see I have got a lot of reading to do… Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Jim, Great data. I am a big fan of market research and have done many surveys over the years. Without good market research the business is flying blind or just guessing which is expensive, especially if the business fails.

I have to say it is not only evergreen, it is priceless. Best information (and most complete) I have come across in 6 months of daily digging. (Of course, that may just prove my total ignorance and mental density.) I have been involved with several membership sites and always felt’ something’ was missing, outdated, biased, or lacking. Sure am glad I found my way here.

Rabola,

We are well aware of Google’s tool and the fact that it gives numbers and counts.

You should read this report about Google’s numbers and exactly how accurate they truly are:

http://www.nichebot.com/blog/160/google-assessment/

And once again, may I remind you that the Google keyword tool is Google’s tool for their advertisers and therefore the data is leaning more towards higher traffic figures especially since Google will estimate in their partner’s traffic as well.

NicheBOT’s own tool draws from Google’s database and while great, it doesn’t return EVERY keyword on the planet because those smaller in demand keywords are not going to show up on the charts because why? Because Google’s tool is more interested in showing those keywords that meet a minimum number of searches that an advertiser would be interested.

I will agree that knowing demand numbers are great, however inaccurate they are, but counting on these numbers is what is called KEYWORD RESEARCH.

This article is about market research and there is NO better place to do market research than on the actual sales sites that give you the data as noted up above.

And I can assure you that there is NOBODY asleep here as there is NO WAY that Google Yahoo and MSN would get together and create ONE complete keyword service.

Just because Google gives us access to their Advertiser Tool only allows us to see what they want Advertisers to see.

Please show me a keyword tool that is FAVORED to the webmaster that wants to conduct organic keyword research and see the real long tail keywords that are way below the radar of Google’s tool because those keywords don’t have the minimum demand of traffic for them.

That’s exactly why NicheBOT has multiple keyword database sources and why if you do not fish from one pond, you ARE missing keywords in your marketplace.

But I digress.

This article is about Market Research and how to conduct surefire market research that guarantees you’ll have an actual market to plunker some profits from.

Best of success,

Jim

And as far as this report being outdated, I beg to differ. It’s evergreen!

Dear sir,

I think either your report is seriously outdated or you are sound asleep!

In it you say:
“There is no way to know any sort of market share for a given keyword unless Google Yahoo or MSN either hand over their ENTIRE set of data or start their own keyword service — and I can guarantee you that won’t be happening any time soon.”

Wake up and smell the roses my dear sir, it has already happened!

May I refer you to the NEW Google Adwords Keyword Tool at the following URL: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Please try to keep with the times!
