How To Increase Website Traffic – 4 Essential Tasks
February 25th, 2009 by CourtOver the last four years I have made all of my money by getting website traffic and turning that traffic into dollar bills. People ask me all the time how to increase website traffic, so I figured I would offer some honest, straightforward advice.
Social Traffic Isn’t Worth It, In Most Cases
If you just want to throw up huge numbers there are a lot of ways to do it. StumbleUpon, Digg, and Reddit can send you huge numbers of visitors. Many of you have already chased that traffic and some of you have probably succeeded. I personally have been able to get loads of traffic that way so I’m a good person to listen to on the subject. The honest truth is that it’s incredibly difficult to make money from those traffic sources. Those individuals typically have very short attention spans and will leave your site just as quickly as they found it. If you don’t believe that, I highly doubt that you’ve tried to sell to them before.
When you go through the process of learning how to increase website traffic, I want you to focus on the most important type of traffic there is – search traffic. Once a stream of traffic starts coming from Google it will come day after day after day, whether you continue working or not.
There’s only one type of person that can make social traffic work and that type of person is naturally gifted. If you are an extremely gifted writer or personality, social traffic might be an awesome fit for you. If you aren’t it’s going to be an enormous waste of time because you won’t be able to influence the short attention spans that will find you.
Search traffic is honestly a lot easier to work with. There’s a huge difference with search traffic because they are already looking for you. Since they already want what you have to offer, the process is a LOT easier.
How To Increase Website Traffic From Search Engines
Getting more traffic to your website from search engines is actually fairly easy to do. I want to keep this lesson fairly simple for you so I have organized the basics into four separate tasks:
- Researching your market.
- Choosing keywords.
- Creating keyword-optimized content.
- Getting links to your content from relevant pages.
Most people go wrong because they don’t do any research in the first place. To fully understand this process, I want you to take a look at how you found this article. You probably did a search in Google for ‘How To Increase Website’ traffic, or something similar (or you are a regular reader of mine). You found me because I anticipated that people would be searching for this, and created a solid article on this topic.
Researching Your Market
You may be curious about how I was able to anticipate that you would be doing this search. This is pretty easy if you take a look at the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. You start by typing on topics that are related to the content of your site. In this case I started by searching for ‘website’ because I help people to learn to make money with websites. The tool showed me a bunch of keywords that people search for and are related to websites. Website traffic was one of the terms that came up. Since I understand a lot about getting more website traffic, it’s obviously pretty easy for me to write about.
Hopefully you can see why this article came to be. I want to be found by people who want to get more targeted website traffic.
What you need to do is use the Adwords tool to take a look at topics that people are searching for in your market. You will obviously know your market better than I would so you need to think about different aspects that people need to understand. Type those terms into the tool and take a look at what comes back. Expand on the terms that come back and you’ll probably find some winners in there.
Choosing Keywords
Choosing keywords to me is a matter of looking at your competition and deciding how strong it is. I wrote about this concept extensively on The Keyword Academy: Choosing A Topic For A Website. I was actually talking about choosing a topic for a site, but the same concepts apply. You can use those metrics to choose topics to write about that you can realistically get ranked for.
Where most people go wrong is that they only choose the super competitive keywords that everyone else is using. Finding the easy ones will make your life a lot easier so I would definitely start there. Increasing traffic to your website becomes one of the easiest things ever when you write about topics that have weak competition.
Lately I picked up a site that’s about food and honestly it’s one of the easiest things ever. I’m barely trying and getting ranked really well. It’s so much easier than my internet marketing topics it’s not even funny. If you can try to find keywords that aren’t that competitive it will be a lot easier. Obviously you don’t want to write off topic, so your search will be limited to the scope of your website.
Creating Keyword-Optimized Content
Creating content that will rank well for a keyword is honestly really easy. I have written extensively about this and so I’ll point you to an article I wrote about this: How To Target a Keyword With a Post Page. The only thing I want to add to that is that the better your post, the better it will work. If your post excites people enough to get them to point some links at it, it will rank better and it will rank more quickly.
Getting Links To Your Content From Relevant Pages
If you’re starting out, this might seem like it’s pretty difficult but after you get going, it really isn’t. The first thing you should try to do once you create your website is find some friends in your industry. This will help you a ton because when you need to get some extra links, they will be there to help. There are also a lot of other methods that you can use. You can write articles for EzineArticles and they will allow you to link back. For that matter, you can write articles that can be submitted with Unique Article Wizard, or a similar service.
Getting links is often as simple as asking. When I started CourtneyTuttle.com, I looked through all of the make money sites on Technorati to find beginners who had sites similar to mine. I then participated on their sites and made friends with them so that we could help each other out. We have helped each other a lot over the last few years and the links we have passed back and forth have made a huge difference. Now that I have some people reading my site building links has also become a lot easier. That said, I started out with zero traffic just like everyone else and overcame that with hard work.

Thanks for this Court, and the post on thekywordacademy, I tend to get carried away with all the “techniques” when really I just need to build some links. Is UAW the only paid service you use for link building?
May 31st, 2011 at 2:15 am
These techniques still works, and I think many IMs find UAW truly useful, and as they say, “Content is still the King”.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:20 am
Hi court. first let me say i love your website and it taught me a great deal. it’s probably the only website which is straight to the point and gives very valuable tips without “I’m the best and if you give me 900$ I’ll show how i did it”.
but i have two questions.
1.on your “best work” you have “the search engine pipe dream” post which contradicts allot about what you’re saying about in this post IMO. i mean here you say how google traffic is what we should be aiming for, but on the other post it’s all about the social media.
2. what happened to the HowToMobile case study? after week 8 there was no update?
February 26th, 2009 at 7:38 am
Hi Court,
You always make me learn something new or at least to remember the basics. Thanks for revealing how to got links to this site at the beginning but how about niche blogs.
February 26th, 2009 at 7:41 am
Good common-sense ideas. You can never go wrong when you go back to the basics. I love the Google Keywords tool – it’s one of my favorites when deciding on a new site to build.
Data points, Barbara
February 26th, 2009 at 8:21 am
It is simply beyond me why so many new IMers go for the competitive markets like they do. Financial markets, MMO markets, they even try to rank for SEO terms…
I’m with you on the food and drink niche, I’ve got two I launched this month and am just filling with content right now, haven’t hardly promoted at all and they are already showing nice results. Since it is mostly uneducated internet users that search for these kinds of things, they aren’t ad blind and the traffic converts pretty well.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:53 am
I agree about social traffic not being a direct money maker, however it does have other value. If you can get that huge rush of traffic, especially from digg, it will result in a large number of back links, which will payoff in the long run. Stumbleupon not so much, but you can still get links through it.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:06 am
What are the keywords that drive traffic to Boing Boing, Lifehacker, Techcrunch, Prez Hilton, or the Huffington Post?
My guess is there are over 1 million different keywords over the course of a year that will drive traffic for each of those blogs. It is almost all long tail traffic. My site which gets a tiny fraction of what those big sites get has over 25,000 different keywords a year bringing in traffic. Only 2 of those did I actively work at, and they bring in about 5% of all traffic.
Keywords and this approach are great for small, niche sites. It doesn’t work for larger sites. Keywords are great for sites which focus on solutions to problems, not for sites which deal in entertainment. One size doesn’t fit all.
I find StubleUpon to be as good a source traffic as Google, both in terms of quantity and quality. (I can totally see how this is not true for most people however) I have bounce rates of about 40% from SU, which means that when people find my site, most will click around. That can help lead to subscribers, which is exactly what I want in the long run.
I also think you are going to see big changes in Google in the next 1-2 years which will really hurt this approach to earning money online.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Sorry Gary you lost me as soon as you started listing sites that post like 20 times a day. Sorry for the bluntness but I would rather have a job.
What I would like to know is how much actual profit you’ve made from that traffic because to me increasing traffic just to increase it doesn’t matter. People clicking around also doesn’t mean anything to me. I know this might sound somewhat harsh but unless your site is a hobby, profit is what matters. I understand that some people run sites for fun and if you’re in that boat, do whatever you want. Since I teach about making money I’m going to show people what makes money.
Around here we make almost $1 per unique visitor and since a fraction of a percent of that income is from social sources like StumbleUpon, I’m not just throwing out theory.
If you have actual sales or profits that can prove otherwise, please post them.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Great post! And I definitely love the tips because they’re simple and very easy to remember. But I wonder if you can tackle about lead nurturing too. Once you get hold of your website traffic, your next goal would be to make them prospects and then sales-ready leads. You need to know how to nurture them along the way.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Court I’ve thought about this a while but never have asked. Could you point me to an article you’ve already wrote or write a new one or answer here… LoL
On your sites that you created these blogs do you always use adsense? Do you use affiliate banners? Amazon links? I’m just wondering if this new food site of yours is just an article blog with adsense or how do you monetize?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
thanks for share, nice article
February 27th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Since you consider spamming dofollow blog comments a part of internet marketing…I will never trust anything else you say.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
The people that are on my list of dofollow blogs asked to be there, genius. They’re willing to trade the comments for the links.
Of course you don’t leave the URL to you site with your comment – why would you? It’s a lot more fun to leave lame comments when you can’t be scrutinized. Nice. Hmm you used a fake email too, you must be pretty proud of you who are.

February 28th, 2009 at 12:20 am
Choosing appropriate keywords before conducting an SEO is really important to start and get an appropriate results in little time.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Great post again! I’ll put all this advice to work.
February 28th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I think most bloggers forget to optimize posts for keywords, especially in the title.
February 28th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Yes – getting traffic can indeed be tough and frustrating. However – you just need to do the right things and you will get lots of traffic.

Court,
Thanks for the info. I always appreciate ideas on driving traffic now it’s just about converting that traffic to business!
March 3rd, 2009 at 4:45 am
Wow, good post.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:29 am
Many thanks for this useful information for me as newbie here.
Regards ^_^
March 5th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Court, Thanks so much for this information. I am a new blogger and only have a few posts on my site and as I go, I’m learning more & more about keyword optimization and SEO and the whole 9. I’m a complete novice but thanks to you and some others, you’re helping me understand the process. I used the google adwords tool for my last 2 posts but funny as it may sound, I’m still not quite sure I did it right. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to use the words that hundreds are searching for in order to get better results or the ones that hundreds of thousands are searching for. (hope that doesn’t sound silly, still learning) Any input on that one would help me tremendously. Thanks again, learning a ton from your information, thanks for sharing!
March 6th, 2009 at 1:50 am
Marketers are too obsessed about search engine rankings, marketing strategies, and link building that they have forgotten one crucial step: lead analytics. Without it, it will be very hard for them to determine which of the techniques they implemented actually works and which one doesn’t.
March 7th, 2009 at 12:39 am
It’s quite informative. I am very impressed with the article/blog. SEO beginner will be helped by this blog….
Thanks
March 10th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
That’s an interesting take on social sites and I guess I have to agree. From what I’ve seen it’s a temporary increase in traffic at best and as you said the traffic quality is questionable.
I’ve already opened up all of your references in this article to read through them!
March 13th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
As per my knowledge we should first optimize our website with keywords, then we should find solutions to promote it through various strategies. I have been creating backlinks for my own site long time back, and that helped me too.
Social networking sites can also be very helpful such as facebook, orkut, etc, these can bring large amount of visitors.
Thanks for the post Court
April 1st, 2009 at 6:13 am
Hi Management Education,
Please suggest me how to use facebook and orkut. I also want to increase the traffic for my favorite site… and also I am curious to learn about social networking site.
March 16th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
I would love to visit your food site! Thank you for this helpful article, I am fairly new at this and am slowly trying to learn and absorb everything. I’ve been browsing your blog for the past hour, and am very impressed with your explanations. Cheers!
March 16th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Excellent Article! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to definitely read more of your posts!
March 17th, 2009 at 2:02 am
This is an excellent post. I find it very helpful and informative. I agree that a keyword optimized content as well as the other factors contribute to a high traffic. But, careful study of keywords using different keyword research tools must be done first in able to have the right set of keywords and to drive the right traffic.
March 18th, 2009 at 5:59 am
As per my recommendation, website traffic can be increased by sharing our website link on social networking sites and using catchy taglines with the link. Eye catchy words always attract people to look into the matter. Thanks for sharing your view points Court.
March 19th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
It’s funny how some of these commenters doubt Court and Griz et al. Especially when they rank on top of the SERPS for their chosen keywords that have search volume.
It’s funny because if you sat these doubters in a room face to face, they would probably blank out and look like a deer caught in headlights when you asked them why they thought these SEO “strategies” don’t work well for ranking.
And…if there was a way to reveal your adsense earnings what would they say about not being able to make money using the strategies you used to get to the top of the SERPS, gain traffic, get clicks, etc.?
Good job Court. Always a pleasure to read something by you.
April 5th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I’m a newbie and have been silently reading this blog (and Griz’s blog) for a few weeks, and I too have noticed the “doubters” pop up occasionally.
I don’t understand why people get upset with them though. All anyone can do is put info out there, and it’s up to individuals to follow it or not. If people want to doubt, let them. It means less competition for those following the advice..
March 20th, 2009 at 5:24 am
Keyword research is an important part of any marketing initiative to increase site traffic; and though this is labor-intensive, this one should be done. Research means targeting the right keywords that get the best attention.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:44 am
great post Court… thank you so much
ranking in google can be very easy and quick if you make alot of market researches to pick the right keywords
actually I have showed up in google in page 2 within only 3 week for a certain keyword

March 21st, 2009 at 8:50 am
Good post on marketing and keyword selection. Content is key. keyword optimized content is critical!
March 21st, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Great post! I agree with the social aspect of things — it’s only a quick fix to get traffic, but the most traffic will come from optimized relevant content and links!
March 22nd, 2009 at 5:21 am
Social traffic doesn’t perform as well as search traffic. Those of us who are tired of fighting with the Big G might wish otherwise, but facts are facts.
I could see the value of social traffic trending up as sites like Twitter begin to grow to include a more traditional market demographic.
March 22nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
No marketing guru would share his ultimate secret. True you can scrape off some basics. But the true and ultimate weapon will always be hidden and can be uncovered only by trial and errors..please provide me with more tips..
March 24th, 2009 at 2:40 am
There aren’t really any secrets to internet marketing or with marketing per se, whether online or offline. The principles are all the same. Some people are just simply lazy and want instant success. Come to think of it, this happens offline also.
March 24th, 2009 at 6:44 am
For seeking traffic these tips are really look effective and result oriented.
March 24th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
How!
March 25th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Thanks for the info!!! In fact, the basics is always the most important tip
March 27th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Like the above comment said, the basics are always the most important part on anything really. The basics which most people don’t like to do are really important.
The basics are the foundation of anything.
March 29th, 2009 at 2:50 am
I agree completely that search traffic is more easily monetized than social traffic, mostly for the psychological reasons you described. I have been promoting my marketing blog on Facebook and LinkedIn as well, and although I haven’t gotten any clients from those networks as I have from search traffic, I’m definitely seen as an authority figure in my network now. Friends I haven’t spoken to in a while drop me a note saying they just mentioned my name to someone, or that they really learned a lot by my last post.
I just tried out Article Marketer and I’m anxious to see how that works. What’s the latest on LavaLinks?
Thanks, Court! I always enjoy your posts…

SEO still plays a vital role in traffic generation.

hey nice tips these four tips will definitely help people to increase traffic on their website….people will surely visit your website..
April 5th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
The time it takes to increase traffic through social networks shouldn’t be completely neglected. Yes, if you just sign up for a network and friend everyone and their mother it wont do much for you, but if you build a community around yourself and help others social networking traffic is some of the best convertable targeted traffic out there.

April 5th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Griz talks about social networks being a complete waste of time. I realize opinions differ, so I wonder what your viewpoint would be vs Griz?
April 6th, 2009 at 3:04 pm

April 7th, 2009 at 9:49 am

I’ve been in the affiliate marketing business for over a year now and if only I had know about it sooner I wouldn’t have spent the last 10 miserable years working my butt off for an ungrateful company. Now something brand new has come to my attention and its mind boggling; millions of dollars worth of free unlimited internet advertising… GOOGLE ADS FREE also MSN also YAHOO all FREE. I want to share this with everyone because it costs me nothing to tell you about and it can only make affiliate marketing stronger and increase your results and profits hugely.

April 12th, 2009 at 3:10 am
Hi Court
This has nothing to do with this post, but I was wondering if your Blogging Zoom site is now defunct. I’ve been trying to join for about a week now but I just get a 404 error, and all of the stuff on the site seems to be extremely out of date – Did I miss my chance on this one?
April 12th, 2009 at 3:37 am
A great article and may I add that the bigger your article the better. More words means ranking for different long tail keywords.
April 12th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Great post. I agree that content from Google is the way to go, especially for the newbies.
PPC is too difficult to master so unless someone has a ton of money or time, the best thing they can do to get targeted traffic is to write articles and/or blog posts on an ongoing basis.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Like many here I still use the Google Keyword tool as much as I can. Does that make me old school?
April 15th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
people will surely visit your website. and personally i.enyed reading it…and add it to my favourities….hey nice tips these four tips will definitely help people to increase traffic on their website….
April 18th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Great info. Yep, I think PPC is great, but when I first started out I didn’t make any money just lost. I think newbies should learn and perfect the free methods first. Than when they start making money re-invest that and learn to do PPC.
That way when you lose money, and you probably will to start, it won’t be quite so painful!
April 18th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
I totally agree that social networking has become significantly useless..the amount of time people spend on twitter is not resulting to enough significant traffic to drive to your site..
All these social networking sites are essentially becoming constant spam-a-thons for people who want to get their voice out there amongst the millions who are already doing the same thing..
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:58 am
I would have to agree with that !
Cutting through the clutter is the biggest problem. You need to find your target customer.
Find them and you will make good money. Try and find tactics that target your ideal customer.

Spot on. My two cents would be to always use the contingency approach. Every situation, and therefore every website is different. Are you thinking longterm/short-term, are you a pro/hobbyist..
Which does apply for your situation? Ask yourself this question over and over again.
April 21st, 2009 at 1:59 am
Good basic ideas. If implemented it is for sure that they will notice a huge change in traffic in the very short period of time.
April 21st, 2009 at 6:45 am
Very good info, thanks for the post.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:38 am
good tips thanks alot for the information
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:02 pm
It’s my first visit to your blog and i realy like it. Thank you for all those information
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:47 am
Good post! Thanks for all the ideas, I hope I can put this in practice. One more time, thanks.
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 am
Social traffic usually sucks because people are just clicking from one site to the next. I have had a few sales due to social traffic before but by far and large the buying traffic definitely comes from the search engines. I remember court, vic and grizz talking about that extensively last year. I would say the best thing about links from bookmarking sites is that if you use longtail keywords on your bookmarks you can at least rank for some of those terms. And if you get links to those bookmarks and they rank for their keywords THEN you might get some targeted traffic.
April 24th, 2009 at 7:21 am
It’s important to note the NOT to do’s as well, like keyword stuffing, link farms and anything else meant to trick Google. Because, you won’t.
April 24th, 2009 at 7:38 am
That’s it… so true… don’t mess with G
April 25th, 2009 at 10:12 am
It is true. Most of the time i didn’t pay much attention to keywords that i used. Most keywords that i used are very competitive. You remind me that i should use keywords that are less competitive. Thanks for this.
April 25th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I think most people who visit social sites is for the socializing and it not there to buy. The best traffic is from search engines.
April 25th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Very informative and easy to follow. Relevant link backs seems to make the most difference.
April 26th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
yep the quality from social media sites is not the best..
April 27th, 2009 at 8:21 am
The kind of people who visit the social sites gather to socialise , may be without any intention to buy. We need to be little more vigilant when using this medium to post ads.
April 27th, 2009 at 9:02 am
I’ll take your advices in practice… very good.
April 27th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Though you do not like social bookmarking as a direct traffic source, do you use it for building backlinks, or do you concentrate your backlink building strategies in other areas?
April 28th, 2009 at 7:57 am
That’s a great advice… thanks for all the information, it will be very usefull.
April 28th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
I’ve heard many marketer push newbie marketers to generate social traffic, But then I see marketers like Courtney say that it is not so important. Most of my effort has been towards getting targeted traffic from search engines because I believe that will be the best in the long run.
April 29th, 2009 at 3:16 am
I beleive that the rightly chosen keywords can really help you to achieve the desired amount of traffic. This post is quite nice. thanks

Social media traffic is a good way of building quick attention for a site, except for a quick influx of visitors who don’t stick around or even read the full page so therefore no conversions. Though one in thousand can however turn to a customer!
But if dofollow can be great for backlinks!
June 5th, 2009 at 3:32 am
Website traffic can be increased by sharing our website link on social networking sites and using catchy taglines with the link.
June 5th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I couldn’t agree with you more about social traffic not being worth the effort. I think all the hype around it is proof that too many “gurus” don’t really know what they are talking about.
June 15th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Very good info. Thanks for the help. Completely agree with the social networking traffic!
June 15th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Great advice!
Researching ahead of time is very important. If you don’t know your market, then how are you going to get traffic?
July 5th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Very good advice.
Thanks for the help, I will follow all of the tips listed.

How To Increase Website Traffic? Its simple – first of all, make your website friendly to google….
July 10th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I agree about social traffic not being a direct money maker, however it does have other value. If you can get that huge rush of traffic, especially from digg, it will result in a large number of back links, which will payoff in the long run. Stumbleupon not so much, but you can still get links through it.
July 27th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Great post! I agree with the social aspect of things — it’s only a quick fix to get traffic, but the most traffic will come from optimized relevant content and links!

Great Information! Social Networking has worked for me 10 fold… Facebook especially!
February 5th, 2010 at 9:42 am
Social traffic is not targeted. These traffic comes fast and leaves fast. No doubt by driving so much on this kind of non-targeted traffic is completely waste of time. THEY DON’T CONVERT!! The better way of driving traffic is through SEO. Article marketing works best for me.
February 9th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Search engine traffic is by far the most consistent and you should focus on getting traffic from search engines.
February 17th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
A balanced approach between social networking type sites & traditional SEO seems to work well, but it largely depends on your target customer base.
March 1st, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Search Engine is the best traffic, although social bookmarking may help get you there…

March 30th, 2010 at 8:29 am
I have learned that the social bookmarking and social networking sites are not bringing targeted traffic. They take a lot of work more than the SEO traffic.
If you do keyword research from the start, your site may get to the 2nd or 3rd page of Google. I think it is easier than to have traffic from social bookmarking or social networking sites if you did the homework from the get go.

“Getting links is often as simple as asking.”
Very true and I’ve had great success asking friends to do contextual link exchange with me on our posts. Such links are better recognized by Google compared to other types like reciprocal links or blog comment links and in fact all links that are “by themselves”.
July 23rd, 2010 at 5:20 pm

Depending upon your medium there is always purchasing traffic through a sponsored blog post through a niche figurehead – like a mom blog. If your product is really awesome you have the ability to put faith in it and set it free. Sure, they will need to declare that they are doing a sponsored blog post but if they will always retain the rights to move forward while complaining. As long as you have a good product – they will stand behind it and suggest it to their followers.

I have enjoyed reading your post but feel the need to mention that since this post was originally created,finding a profitable niche using old generic keyword research has become much more difficult due to competition across the board.
The only sensible way to perform research these days is by using the likes of Micro niche Finder or Market Samurai as these programs parse all of the information returned annd display it in easily readable format.
Thanks for opening this discussion
