Let's face it - you've got a niche website that you created after a careful consideration of its potential / keywords and what-not. The only problem is that (almost) nobody is visiting it. You need traffic desperately. Sounds familiar? Then read on.

There are many ways to build traffic. And no, I will not be talking about any black hat methods or spamming. Today I am going to show you how to become a niche guru, which eventually will bring you traffic - via direct links and from search engines.

One of the best ways to establish oneself as a guru is by active participation in blog and forum discussions. This can bring you both direct links to your website (if owners of the target forums/blogs are not using the nofollow tag) or at least direct visits from interested visitors of other blogs and boards. Obviously, the condition is that you contribute valuable content, not useless one-liners in the style of "Hey, great blog".

The greatest challenge in this approach for many people is that they are simply unable to manually follow all the discussions taking place - it simply does not fit their busy schedules. Well, automation to the rescue.

I will show you three services that will let you stay on top of all the most recent discussions. Then, I will demonstrate you one tool to rule them all - just one tool to always be up-to-date with all the latest buzz. If you prefer watching than reading, just play the video now.

1. Tool no. 1 - Google Blog Search

This is actually my favorite tool to quickly search for the latest blog posts. Just enter a keyword relevant to your niche and sort results by date. You can also limit results to posts from the last several hours or days. When you find anything of interest, then simply navigate to the source blog and leave your comment.

Obviously, you can get results for your keyword via an RSS feed.

When I am saying "quickly search", I mean it quite literally. The Google Blog Search is lightning fast, which is its great advantage. However, it has less filtering options than its direct competitor...

Would you mind making a great browser even better? Well, I guess I know the answer... Especially if you're an avid keyword researcher and you've run into one of the few shortcomings that Firefox has, i.e. how it handles copying tables.

Hello!

First of all, let me explain quickly, before you delete this email - you are receiving it, because you've subscribed to a newsletter at http://www.seoprotoolz.com. A wise decision, I might add!

It has been quite a while since I last sent a newsletter, but I believe today is a great opportunity to resume this service - I've released a little tool which you can use to automate the keyword research technique I once described.

The easiest way to discover this new tool is by watching this video, which shows it all. Or just grab the tool immediately here.

To show you all the new features, I've recorded another video, which basically shows how to use it. Please watch it to make sure that you discover all the new features.

If you've downloaded the keyword bookmarklet already to generate keyword and their bid prices, using Google keyword tool, please replace it with this one. Main improvements:

• Each keyword has a direct link to Google Trends and the free version of Wordtracker (immediately displaying results for this specific keyword)
• Table is sortable alphabetically and by keyword price. Be warned though that all sorting is done in javascript, client-side. In case of long lists, it may be necessary to increase the javascript time-out. If you're using Firefox, use these instructions.

More features are coming - I will keep you updated.

Do you want to immediately generate keyword lists from any website you're visiting? I bet you do - after all, this is a technique described in the most popular post in this blog - Profitable niches in under 10 minutes.

Well, guess what. We'll speed up the entire process a bit today. Bookmarklet to the rescue! If you don't know the point of bookmarklets, please refer to Wikipedia.

After the fold, you will find both a video demonstration and the bookmarklet itself, so please, read on.

Even though I'm right in the middle of writing new posts for the Arbitrage series, I thought I could not miss an opportunity to let you know about the new FREE version of the keyword tool from Wordtracker.

It appears that they've revamped their free offer and it's now incredibly more useful than it used to be. There are several big differences.

First of all, you do not have to register to use it - it's available instantly.
