Niche Site Idea

A micro-niche website dedicated to backpacks.

Here is how I would grow this website πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡

#SEO #nichesite #keywordresearch Image
Topic examples to give you a better idea of what this project is gonna be about:

How to Wash a North Face Backpack
Can You Bring a Backpack Into a Movie Theater
How to Attach a Sleeping Bag to a Backpack
How to Put a Patch on a Backpack
Best Backpacks for Skateboarders
Content Strategy

I would start with these 3 main categories on the website:

Backpack Maintenance
Travel With a Backpack
Buying Guides
I would start with the easiest of the clusters on this website - How to Wash a Backpack.

You can cover all known backpack brands in this cluster.

How to Wash a North Face Backpack
How to Wash a JanSport Backpack
How to Wash a Swiss Gear Backpack
Once you are done with this cluster, move on to another cluster - Can You Bring a Backpack to {Location}?

Can You Bring a Backpack Into a Movie Theater
Can You Bring a Backpack Into Dollywood
Can You Bring a Backpack into Madison Square Garden
After you finish this cluster you can start creating buying guides.

Best Backpacks for Nursing Students
Best Backpacks for Back Pain
Best Skateboard Backpacks
Additional Topic Ideas

There are a lot of extra topic ideas that you can add under the first two categories (maintenance and traveling tips with a backpack).

How To Fix a Broken Backpack Strap
How to Attach Hiking Poles to Your Backpack
How to Protect a Laptop in a Backpack
Keyword Research

Use these seed keywords to generate a list of topic ideas:

wash * backpack
can you bring backpack *
best * backpack

I used a wildcard search (*) as a placeholder to match one word in a query.
Monetization

Display Ads

Once you start getting over 1000 monthly visitors you can monetize your website with Google AdSense or Ezoic.

Your next goal should be to reach 50k/100k sessions/pageviews per month so you can apply to Mediavine/AdThrive.
Affiliate Marketing

Obviously, you can monetize your site with backpack buying guides, but you can also promote different accessories for backpacks.

Example of topic ideas to monetize with affiliate offers:

Hand Sanitizer Holder for Backpack
Skateboard Straps for Backpack
Sponsorship

When you start getting a decent amount of traffic you may reach out to backpack brands to see if they would be interested in running sponsored ad campaigns on your website.
Conclusion

This micro-niche site idea will be great for people with any level of SEO expertise and it has the potential to generate a very good income through different monetization options.

Niche Site Idea with over 1M/mo Traffic Potential

Disclaimer: A combination of an aged domain and programmatic SEO is required to achieve success in this niche.

Here is the list of keywords to target πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡
4 letter words * / four letter words *
5 letter words * / five letter words *
6 letter words * / six letter words *

and so on.

These massive search volumes are supported by an ongoing interest in the trending game Wordle.
And although the SERPs are dominated by some high authority websites, I came across a bunch of websites built on aged domains that are doing great.

Here is an example of such a domain (DR 18). It grew from 0 to almost 400k in just 3 months.

Niche Site Idea

A resource about the litter size of various animals.

This niche site idea will be great for people with any level of SEO expertise and it has the potential to generate a very good income via different monetization options.

Here's how I would grow this site πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡
These are some of the topic examples to give you a better idea of what this project is gonna be about:

How Many Puppies Can a Dog Have
How Many Puppies Can a Yorkie Have
How Many Kittens Can a Cat Have
What Is the Average Size of a Rabbit Litter
Content Strategy

I would create 3 main categories on the website:

Dogs
Cats
Other Animals

I would start by covering all dog breeds first.

There are anywhere between 195 and 500 dog breeds in the world, so you will have plenty of content ideas just based on the dog breeds.

Creative Link Building Outreach Tactic

I have received hundreds of outreach emails in the past couple of years.

I did not engage with any of these emails since they used the same template over and over again.

Don't copy this outdated technique.

Try this instead πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡
If you run a website, chances are you are good at keyword research. The idea is to trade your skills for a link.

1. Identify Link Prospects

They should be relevant to your niche but are not your direct competitors.
2. Prepare a List of Topic Ideas

Create a content map with 30-50 topic ideas. Avoid obvious topics where most of these link prospects already rank.

I would use this method of discovering relevant keywords but the ones they are not targeting.

If you are just starting out and you are about to build your very first website... DON'T even think about stuff like schema markup or semantic SEO.

Make sure you get the basics right and you will be on your way to growing traffic.

Focus on these 4 things πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡
1. Keyword Research

As your new website will have zero authority, you need to concentrate on finding low-competition keywords first.

Follow my method and you can find thousands of low-competition keywords in no time.

2. Understand Search Intent

There are 4 main types of search intent.

1. Informational
2. Navigational
3. Transactional
4. Commercial

Check out this detailed guide on search intent from Semrush.

How to Find Thousands of Low Competition Keywords in 30 Seconds

This keyword research method helped me to grow my website to 125k monthly visitors without actively building links.

Here's how I did it πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡

#SEO #keywordresearch
The most common advice that I see about keyword research is to avoid big fish (high authority competitors) in your niche... and this is a HUGE MISTAKE.

A high authority website will usually rank for millions of keywords.
But did you know that only 10-15% of their keywords rank in the Top 10 in SERPs?

It means the remaining 85-90% of keywords are fair game, and we will be able to discover many low-competition keywords with this huge database.

How to Outrank Tough Competitors with Featured Snippets

"Stealing" a featured snippet is by far the best way to outrank even the toughest competition in your niche.

Here's a SIMPLE framework to own POSITION #0

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

#SEO #featuredsnippets
How to Identify Featured Snippet Opportunities

According to research by Ahrefs, Google is 99.58% more likely to rank pages as a featured snippet that already appear in the top 10.
Disclaimer: Since that study was published the number of organic listings has decreased to as low as 5 positions in certain SERPs.

So in my example, I'll look for positions #2-5 only.
