Niche Inspector Review

I have just released a niche software update to my Niche Inspector Strategy Tool.
This makes ranking your best niche keywords even easier. It is now more flexible, so you can match your rankings to your site objectives.

Updating should be a simple process, except that Google has introduced a 1000 cell copy limit on it’s spreadsheets. I have not heard back from Google yet if this is a permanent limit.

You have 2 choices:

1. Use a spreadsheet program such as OpenOffice, or MS Office
2. Copy and paste from a Google spreadsheet 62 rows at a time

If you have a fairly tight niche, with less than 200 keywords, then option 2 is quite easy, and should not need much more explanation. Just open your exported Niche Inspector data in Google Spreadsheets, then copy 62 rows at a time into my niche software tool. You may find it easier to keep track of where you are if you copy and paste 60 row blocks.

Option 1 is also very easy, but it does require that you have a spreadsheet program installed on your computer. OpenOffice is free, and easy to install from www.openoffice.org. If you use a spreadsheet, then most ask you for a starting row when you import a CSV. Make your life alittle easier by starting at Row 2 - you do not want the Niche Inspector Data headers because they are already in my Niche Strategy Tool.

Improved Keyword Ranking

Once you’ve got your data into my niche software, you now have more options for ranking.

One ranking feature that wasn’t clear in the original version is that it is best to chose your CPC ranking and sort by it before you paste the data. Niche Inspector sorts by maximum CPC bid to give you the best idea of where advertisers are spending money. Once this gets into the Niche Strategy Tool, it becomes alphanumeric, with fairly useless sorting capability.

You can decide all your other Ranking options once you’ve transferred the data.

The big changes are:

1. Ranking lists are now within the tool - no need to type your own rankings in. Just copy and paste.
2. You can weight different factors by applying more rank points to some factors that others.

This second new feature lets you prioritize your niche keywords much closer to your site objectives. If a quick start is important, give more weighting to KEI. If you want a consistently performing AdSense site, give more weighting to Number Of Google Advertisers. If you’re not sure yet, just get started with the standard rankings - you can always come back and change them later.

If you need any help with this, or any other aspect of niche software, just ask me.
