No intro. Let's go.
1. Finding the niche and keyword
This can be tricky part. I simply decide - do I wanna go Amazon, CB, CPA or what ever you work with. This time I decided to go with Amazon. Head over to http://www.amazon.com/ and go by department. I think that I will be able to find a good niche inside appliances here: http://www.amazon.com/Appliances/b/r...ode=2619525011

Pick something that you like or if you're not gonna write content, just go in some order and I'm sure you will find some hidden gems in there. I was looking and looking and I found something in the Coffee & Expresso category.

Now, from here we can do some more work and narrow down our search. I thought that drip coffee makers could be a good niche and I was partially right. I checked GKT and that phrase has over 18 000 searches per month. Now, I don't wanna target that, I would like to target something like: best drip coffee makers or drip coffee makers review. Soon enough, I stumbled upon the "best drip coffee maker" and it has over 5000 searches per month.

Now, that is something I like. Now that I know it has decent searches per month, I will proceed and do the keyword research.
2. Analysis
First of all, I just do a simple Google search for my soon-to-be targeted keyword. I'm looking for the number of results.

Under a million results? Oooooh boy! I do like this very, very much. This keyword looks really promising for me. Let's keep digging. Let's check the trends:

Well, this is interesting. Usually, I ignore the latest results and I go by the previous one because they only have partial data and who knows when will they update. So, 73, trend is good, I like it! Move on!
Now I do "intitle:best drip coffee maker"

Is this real life? 462 results? Alright, I'm gonna take this. So far so good. Now let's do this "inurl:best drip coffee maker"

Still can't believe that there is not that many results for this.
So far, I'm liking EVERYTHING about this keyword. Now I enter my keyword in Traffic Travis (free tool) and while I wait, I enter my keyword in Long Tail Pro. Here are the results:

I like the metrics. Should not be hard to outrank most of them. Next, Traffic Travis is done:

All I need to know. Relatively easy. I like it. Now, just because I can, I use Keyword reveler and check the metrics and the difficulty again:

35 - moderate competition. The metrics checks out. Looks like it should be a good keyword after all. (yes, you can get pretty much everything you need in Keyword reveler, but since I only have free account there I only do it when I have everything I need)
