Site took 9 hours to index. I see my propeller and digg submissions on page 2 for both broad match and phrase match. Site is on page 6 for phrase match but nowhere to be found for broad match.
Can we see your site?

Guys I am a little confused, where does gurubob show how to find the secondary keywords, Ed mentioned it on day six when adding categories saying Bob showed us. But I can't find it. Any idea?
When you are using Market Samurai you click on generate keywords after you have your "new keyword" already..Then MS will show all other keywords in relation to your top keyword. You delete the keywords you think have no relation to your niche then you click analyze keywords to see how they are performing. I hoped that helped! If not, let us know, so we can help another way! :)

Crap...so after reading most of day 6, you need your main key phrase and three other ones that are close but not as good. His examples are vintage electric guitar, vintage bass guitar, vintage gibson guitar, and antique guitar. I guess I have to go back and look for a few more related ones.
you can use market samurai to get other keyword phrases that are alike to your main keyword. just type your keyword in the bar in MS then click generate keywords. delete the ones that you don't like and then click analyze keywords to see how they are performing. if you already knew that, sorry, just figured id try to help out. im having better luck since watching some videos over and over again. but im sure ill be askin more questions later on lol.
- nic
Nah, it's just the fact that I had to go backwards and do more research instead of progressing forward.

Hey guys, quick question(s)... How long did you guys wait before buying a domain and hosting? Did you start right away when you figured out your niche? Also, should you trial & error a practice niche before you start? Wow, I'm lost...

He goes over the hosting stuff in Day 6. I'm not there yet but I just glanced at it because Amazon affiliates won't let you sign up without a website. In Day 4, he does mention that you are testing niche to see how well it can do. So I am guessing that we just follow along and if it doesn't do well he will tell us to start over or something.
- Joe Cooley
So we test a niche by using our money with a domain and hosting? I don't get it, you make a site about the niche before you try joining amazon? I'm going over earlier videos right now...I must have missed this. Sorry to bother everyone w/ all the questions when maybe I should just pay more attention! lol
- nic
Im not sure. I just know amazon needs a url when you register. Regardless, though, if you decide to pursue this you have to get hosting and a domain anyways. It's not too expensive. Hosting is about 5 bucks a month and a domain can be had for under $10 for a year. I think this will be discussed on Day 6.
- Joe Cooley
Yeah I intended on getting the domain/hosting later on just wanted to know how soon we should be thinking about it. Ok, so another question ...when researching on Google about your keywords, do we only worry about the results when we have the quotations around them? How important are the keyword results when we don't add them? Only because some of my keyword results have a huge differential when adding the quotations and when I don't add them.
- nic
Thats one of the things I'm unsure about. One of the key phrases I looked up had 8 sites come up with quotes, without was somewhere in the millions. I think one of the things mentioned is that google gives preference to sites optimized for the exact match opposed to sites that mention the keywords scattered on the page. Thus, "trout fishing" will be given preference over "look at all that trout in that fishing spot."
- Joe Cooley
I am thinking of getting a domain for at least one niche, because I already have hosting for a blog I started but got neglected.Also regarding the keywords it is best to stick to there criteria of using quotes. Most of the time if there is a huge difference then one word is very popular by itself, but as a group they are not used much. But if you are seen traffic(above 80) then it could be a good phrase.
- Darshana Makavita
Another criteria is the SEO competition, as this is checked for the top ten results in broad match. If they are not well optimized then even if you get million searches for broad match your site may rank well. I guess the only true way to know for sure is to go and try it out.
