Setting Up Blogger Is Easier Than 1-2-3

The set up for Blogger is very simple. And back in 2007 when I was approved for Adsense, it was cool to include info on how to set up Blogger in this lens, but today it takes a third row seat to what really matters in getting approved for Google Adsense: choosing a niche topic with good commercial value, and writing unique, high quality content that's helpful to someone searching for information on your niche topic.

So I've removed the modules that went through Step 1: Setting up your account, Step 2: Naming your Blogger blog & choosing a URL, and Step 3: Making your Blogspot look like a real website. You really don't need a module-by-module walk through, because Google has made Blogger even easier to work with. Just watch the YouTube video tutorial in the next module.

How to Use The New External Keyword Tool For Keyword Research

Now that you have generated some ideas for commercial search terms that you believe would make a great topic for this project and you've analyzed the trends for these search terms, it's time to create a list of keywords that you can target. This YouTube video will show you how to use Google's External Keyword Tool to create a list of keywords.

How to Use the Google Trends Tool for Niche Research

This YouTube video shows you how to use the Google Trends tool to gauge behavior for the keywords you generated with Google Insights for Search. This tutorial, unlike a number of the Google Trends videos on YouTube, is current for 2012. That means it shows how the tool works now (in terms of hot trends results, which are limited to the top 20), NOT how it used to work (it used to give you the top 100 hot trends for any given day).

3 Powerful Google Research Tools You Can Use to Uncover High Commercial Value Niche Topics

Tools. When it comes to tools to help you research potential niche markets to target, there is an overabundance of them in my opinion. So many that you need a tool (or at least a "how to" guide) to help you pick the right one for your online projects! But for the purpose of finding niches that have high commercial value, Google offers 3 excellent tools you can use. They are easy to work with, provide you with info based on Google's own data and best of all ... they're FREE!

The 3 Google tools you can use to discover worthwhile niche topics for this project are: 1.Google Insights for Search, 2.Google Trends, and 3.Google External Keyword tool.

These are my favorite free niche research tools. With them you can quickly take some seed ideas, get the trends for those ideas, see what geographic areas have the most interest in these ideas, get keyword search terms from those seed ideas and create keyword lists for this project. In the next 3 modules I'm going to give you 3 YouTube video tutorials to help you get the most out of using these 3 tools.

You MUST Get These 2 Things Right If You Want to Succeed

That's 6 days from 4/1/07 the day I began the project, until 4/7/07 the day I received my welcome email message from Google Adsense. All I did was to follow the same exact 5 steps I'm revealing here on this lens page.

NOTE: As I mentioned in the introduction a few things have changed since April 2007. Google has become a wee bit more "sensitive" about certain niche topics and there have been a number of search engine algorithm changes, chief among which have been the initial and subsequent Google Panda updates. Yes, Panda has had a MAJOR IMPACT on search engine rankings, but even more so on content quality. These changes affect (1) your choice of viable blog topics, and (2) the content you will use for this project - specifically, the quality, the length and the number of blog posts.

It's been a while - a little more than 4 years since I was approved for my Adsense ID, but I remember the frustration over not knowing what to do or how to do it.

So I set up a little experiment on Blogger, figured out the process and received my Adsense publisher ID 6 days after setting up my Blogger experiment.
