Compete straight up. It might take time, and you might have to work harder, but it is worth it if it is something you want to do. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/drilling-down-your-niche-to-a-super-niche#post-1596 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:08:16 +0000 Trisha Miller 1596@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Hi Duchess</p> <p>The first thing I would do is take a look at the others in that niche (those who turn up on the first couple of pages of search engine results aka SERPs) to see how good they really are.</p> <p>Do this by searching on every keyword and keyword phrase you can think of that pertains to your niche - what you're looking for is those words or phrases for which TWO things occur: </p> <p>1. There is enough people searching on those words/phrases (found using Google's Keyword Research Tool) to bring a decent amount of traffic to your site assuming you can rank for them; </p> <p>AND (not or, or and/or, but AND)</p> <p>2. The competition is weak - either they aren't aware of and optimizing for those words, or they simply aren't doing as well at it as you could be OR their site just plain suck and you can do better.</p> <p>If it's something you're really passionate about, don't give up, just work harder to be better than everyone else - even in a saturated market SOMEBODY has to be the best - why not you? </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/drilling-down-your-niche-to-a-super-niche#post-1595 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:10:27 +0000 DuchessOfWriting 1595@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Ok, I know we're supposed to drill down our niche, but what if the niche you're passionate about is too saturated. How far do you drill it down? </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/what-about-travel-poetry#post-1232 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:10:04 +0000 Amandah Blackwell 1232@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Good point about travel poetry. I to enjoy writing poetry. I never thought to write poems about my trips to the UK. I think a "poets corner" or "poetry corner" on your travel blog is a great idea. Most people don't enjoy writing poems, you could make it a niche market and publish a book of travel poetry! Some food for thought... </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/what-about-travel-poetry#post-1230 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:35:04 +0000 MetroCity1 1230@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I always enjoyed writing poetry and was thinking of ways that I could set myself apart from other travel writers. What about incorporating travel poetry on a blog? I think it's a brilliant idea &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-many-keywords-do-you-use-in-a-blog-post#post-1106 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:07:58 +0000 Amandah Blackwell 1106@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Good question. Some people say to focus on "one" keyword or keyword phrase. Others say to focus on two or three keywords. I say focus on "one" keyword/keyword phrase and you can <em>weave</em> a couple of keywords throughout a blog post...just don't "keyword stuff" your blog posts. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-many-keywords-do-you-use-in-a-blog-post#post-1102 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:23:44 +0000 RalphZ 1102@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Just curious to know how many keywords to use in a blog post? I focus on one, but am wondering if I could incorporate two or three. Any thoughts... </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-many-times-a-week-is-ideal-for-posting-a-blog#post-1060 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:51:57 +0000 DuchessOfWriting 1060@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Curious to know how many times a week people post their blogs. I may create another site, but I want to ensure that I keep up with my posts. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/besides-twe-what-are-some-blogs-you-recommend#post-1053 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:32:16 +0000 Richard 1053@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Check out World Hum, they have diversified articles.
