When you enter a new market you are wise to do some analysis first. The most successful internet marketer will always research the market, identify profitable niches within those markets and target specific keywords. Some of the best places to unearth this information is Alexa, Quantcast, Google trends and the Google Keyword tool.
Using these tools you can get an insight in to the market and make a sound decisions as to whether the market is profitable or not before you waste time building a site. If you enter a market with the wrong keywords your site is doomed to fail.
Researching keywords the traditional way using tools such as Google’s keyword tool and Alexa, searching forums and digging through magazines will give you the data you need…but it can take hours if not days.
