Hey guys,
I understand why placing within a specific niche is useful; its simpler to draw traffic, gain authority, dominate a space and so on
.. if you have the ability to identify enough low competitors keywords that you believe you can rank for, just how much does it actually matter?
i.e.
I want to create a website selling DVDs. I'' ve managed to recognize several keywords with low difficulty and plan to write short articles around them (i.e. '' finest 80s sci-fi films'', ' finest black and white funnies'', etc).
I would wind up with a site full of articles which ought to draw and rank in traffic, which I would hope to reroute to DVD sellers. Nevertheless in this circumstances, my '' specific niche ' would be quite broad – essentially I'' m just selling DVDs.
I'' m not truly drilling down that particularly, would this still be a feasible method for developing a affiliate marketing site or is there something I'' m missing?
