Most people would try to go straight for the high competition keywords and end up banging their head against the wall. And giving up. I took an approach like yours and, although it took time (about 7 months), I am now ranking high for my less competitive keywords and am starting to work on the rest.

Grizz lessons are pretty easy to understand: 1. Find profitable niche 2. Put a lot, lot, lot of original content on it (mainly in blog form) 3. Target every related keyword in the world and build backlinks with it. I learned two things from him, a) not to agonize over the layout of a niche site and b) to write longer posts. Regarding your friend, I just send you an email! Thanks for thinking of me, SY @Jez

What I meant when I said no tool shows you the longtails, compare your stats to what something like MS produces and there is a huge difference. MS may give you a good idea of which direction to go in, but its still way short of what you would see / learn from your stats. Dunno if you read makemoneyonlineforbeginners, guessing you do, but Griz wrote yesterday on how he uses really loooonnngggg posts to flush out the best LT's... Yeah you need transactional keywords…

The second method you suggest sounds interesting also, but I have avoided to run any adword campaigns so far as I have still a lot to learn how adwords work. But I might spend my $25 Adword voucher that came with my hostgator hosting account on this ;-) But the most important thing is "to be able to convert the clicks" rofl, I have some sites that I build before I understood "profitable keywords" that rank on the first page of Google, one even on position one that make me only very few money because it are "information niches" and not "buy niches". Never mind, they still are valuable in other respects ;-) SY @Jez

Another good way to find them is to generate thousands of longtails phrases and run adwords on them with [exact match]. You can then see the number of impressions as well as clicks, if you bid low so you are in lower positions you don't get many clicks, so it doesn't cost too much... again, you are after impressions rather than clicks... course you need to be able to convert the clicks you do get... and be prepared to lose some money on it! just commented on another post that you may want to check this out

I just wish it works fine for me and get me that page rank which i am aiming for.
