Netvestor: How to find low competition keywords

Any thoughts?

Interesting. I'd just been kind of random writing topics and had found a few that don't have a lot of competition, but also don't have a lot of searches.

Better to win on competive ones

Not a good combo for any site! Start finding some gems to drive traffic to the rest.

Random topics do tend to put people off. I had a random blog called vaughan's corner, I've closed it now though.

I shuold have specified - Random within the veterinary medicine niche. A parasite this week, bacteria next week, student life the next entry etc. Too much of one thing at once and it becomes a textbook instead of a blog.

Good article, Freediver has a nice blog there, I did take the time to read through some of his other material also..

Another way of finding low competition keywords in Google is to take notice of how many Pay Per Click ads that are on the right side.
The more ads you see, the more competition (paying at least) for the keywords you used in your search.
