Keyword Search : Week 17, 2006
Introduction
This is the 3m30 Niche Keyword Report for selected top niche keywords for week 17, 2006. It is designed to help you in your keyword search, and as a research starting point for SEO and article creation published every week by 3m30.
Top Niche Keywords
Following are the Top Niche Keywords along with the number of searches recorded by major search engines, the number of sites carrying the term (reported by MSN), and the appropriate KEI calculated for each term.
Terms explained
Searches : Number of searches as reported by Overture
Sites : Number of sites reported by MSN containing the key phrase
KEI : Keyword effectiveness – the higher the better
If we had to pick out some hilights to target, we'd have to go for 'ask.com' in conjunction with other topics, and probably 'myspace layouts' in conjucntion with any of the celebrities in the listing : 'zac efron' will do as a starting point. Other than that, use the information as a starting point for your own research.
New Entries
Here are the new entries for the reporting period, along with sample key phrases, and the KEI data following the same principles as above.
The power of the song 'So Sick' continues to provide Ne-Yo
with fame and fortune. Even though this search term enters the chart at a lowly 197, the KEI is high enough for us to recommend targeting it with some well chosen product links.
Top 20
The following is the continuing Top 20, along with their sample key phrases, and KEI data calculated for them. Picking from this list will guarantee the choice of a subject that has substantial logevity prospects.
We would point out that a high KEI does not necessarily guarantee a good keyword choice, and that the only keywords worth targeting in the Top 20 are those with a good ratio of Sites per Search.
The internet popularity dominance of MySpace.com continues apace, with the best KEI showing and pulling around 4% of search traffic between them, and a low representation (in terms of keywords) on the web as a whole. If the keywords 'myspace' or 'myspace.com' can be leveraged in conjunction with topics appearing in the New Entries or Top Niche report, then this will provide a good targeting strategy.
We believe that it might be a sign of the continuing understanding of new technology that is keeping the Top 10 awash with technical sites (excluding 'girls' and 'lyrics'), with celebrities languishing in the 21-50 slots. Notable exceptions for the usual suspects - 'eminem', 'carmen electra', 'pamela anderson' etc. - but other than that the scales are tipped slightly towards tech sites (8/20 vs 7/20).
For those running celebrity sites, try mixing tech and non-tech search terms ('paris hilton' and 'mapquest' for example) as a way to differentiate offerings from the glut of celebrity styled sites.
From Last Week
Last week we suggested targeting 'chamillionaire'. Those who took the advice should be happy : the term climbed a massive 12 places in the chart (more than twice the median) from last week to this week, accounting for around 0.28% of all traffic. The term also has a respectable niche score too.
We also pointed to MySpace.com, and the two terms related to it continue to do well, as do all the tech related sites that we mentioned.
While we also picked out 'pink' and 'temperature' as possibles too, they do not appear in the Niche report, or Top 20, the former due to low KEI (below the median of 515), and the latter due to insufficient searches. However, the term 'pink' has risen 7 places (above the median) to 186 and accounted for 0.26% of search traffic in the reporting period, and 'temperature' rose 11 places to 175, accounting for 0.27% of search traffic. So we were not all that far out.
Global Statistics
The median number of places climbed by search terms for the period was 5.00, with 62 terms moving up, 97 moving down, and 37 staying put.
The median percentage of searches per term rose from 0.58% to 0.61%, while the mean percentage remained static at 0.74% for the same period.
