Keyword Research Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool and more

My number one free way to do research for your next website to build is with the Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool By spending a few minutes with this tool I can get a good idea of what kind of demand a market has. I also use the View Bids tool to easily see how much other advertisers are willing to pay per click. Usually a high bid price means there's a lot of money being made in that market.

The next step is to build a quality content site focusing on this niche. Because of the competition in this field, it will be tougher to get high rankings on the popular keywords. Focus on creating a large list of related keywords with less competition. Another good tool to try is Wordtracker. Using Wordtracker you can find out which keywords get high search counts, and few results pages in the Search Engines.

The main source of income from this site will come from your affiliate links and AdSense income. You can even run PPC campaigns to get visitors to your site, just make sure you bid low. The income from your AdSense will be enough to cover your advertising.
