We all know that there are millions of searches done on the Internet every day. Did you know that there are tens of thousands of searches done on the Internet every day that are not satisfied by good content, (Information on that topic)? Did you know that all of the searches are tracked by a central database? (Wordtracker.com) In addition to the words that people do searches on, the search engines keep track of the number of sites that they have indexed with those key words, and how long people spend at those sites. How long they spend is believed to be a representation of the quality of the content on the site. In other words, if a person found what they are looking for, they probably won’t keep searching.

What does all of this mean? It means that you are able to look up the different words that people have searched on, and see if there was enough or satisfactory content available to satisfy the needs of those looking for that particular information. I’ll give an example: If I do a search on the internet for “vacation spots” I get 3 million results. If I do a search for “Forest Lake Minnesota Vacation Spots,” I get zero results. What does this tell me? It tells me that Google has 3 million sites with information on vacation spots. That means if I was going to try and build a site around these key words, I have to compete with millions of other sites. It also tells me that there are zero sites that have information on “Forest Lake Minnesota vacation spots.” That means if I wanted to do a site based on those key words, I would have no competition.

Let’s see if this helps you understand better. If we found out that the key work phrase “Forest Lake Minnesota Vacation Spots” had about six to eight hundred searches every month, and knowing that the search engines have very little to offer for this key word phrase, we know that we will get about six to eight hundred visitors every month to our site. Remember, this is free traffic. You have now found a niche.

So, what makes this an opportunity you might ask? The answer is because any time you have a regular supply of traffic going past your front door, you can be sure that those people need things. All you have to do is find things to put on your site that they want to buy. You can even create informational guides that you can sell. Keep in mind; these would be very high margin items. The best part of this is that you can build this website, get the tools you need to do the research, and the tools you need to optimize it for less than $499.00. Not a bad price for a business that has very high income potential.

The main point isn’t that you should build a site using the keyword content of “Forest Lake Minnesota Vacation Spots?” The main point is that there are thousands of niches “opportunities” out there right now waiting for you to take hold.

What this means is that if you looked at your own interests and you are willing to do a little research, you could probably find a small group of key words on that topic that people are currently doing searches for, which have little or no websites that provide good quality information for those searches.
