OK — I know it's not Friday, but no days in the week rhyme with “Niche” or “Niche Research”.    And if this sticks, I will either do in on Friday or change the name.    LOL

Josh and Jon have been talking about Keyword Canine a lot lately — they just launched version 2.0.  KC is a really good niche discovery tool that I use almost every day — and I have also been working on niche research lately testing out Andrew Hansen's new affiliate course.   All of that niche work got me to thinking….

I've thought that it might be fun to pick a niche each week and do some quick and dirty keyword research using Keyword Canine, give out some simple PLR generated by Article Builder, and take a quick look at current offers generated by oDigger.  I figure that it might result in interesting discussion or perhaps inspire a few people to create affiliate web sites.

I wanted to create a free website header for each niche too that would work in Thesis and other themes, but I cannot find a source for images that I could use and then give away.  All of the license terms that I have looked at require a very expensive image license for web templates.  No no headers for now….but I would love to hear your ideas on this.

In Keyword Canine, the red, yellow and green icons are an indication of how easy (green) or hard (red) keywords will be to rank for.  Yellow indicates medium difficulty, and a red flame (not shown here) indicates really difficult.

Free Acne PLR Articles

If you are thinking about entering the acne niche, maybe some free PLR from Article Builder would help.   Here are 5 articles generated by Article Builder that you are free to use in any way you like.

Here is a sample:

Stress can be the cause of your acne.Take some time to relax and collect your day. When you do things you love to do, your hormones will become more balanced and your stress will reduce, which is usually the cause of acne. Smoking and caffeine should be avoided to improve your acne.

Make sure to keep hydrated daily by drinking water at frequent intervals each day. It is suggested that most people need to drink between six and eight glasses of water a day. These will clog your pores and cause more acne.

Wash your face every morning and after waking up to reduce breakouts.

Acne Offers

A quick search on oDigger shows a ton of offers:

OK — so that's about it.  Would love to discuss this in the comments if you have some thoughts.
