Micro Niche Finder Tool Review
Micro Niche Finder Tool Review
Now I know you might be thinking, “oh no, another affiliate review.” I assure you this is quite the opposite. I know and have read many affiliate reviews that are just copied reviews from the affiliate section of the product the person is writing about. I’m sick and tired of all the lies that some affiliate marketer’s will say just to get a buck. Well, you don’t have to feel that way with me. Every time you read a review from me, I guarantee it will be 100% my HONEST opinion. 
I purchased the Micro Niche Finder tool back in May 2008. I paid my $67 dollars for the software, then downloaded and installed it immediately. My first impression of the software was that it was simply amazing. I searched for different terms, getting excellent search results and low competition. It also provided me with the cost per click price for the keywords I was searching for. Micro Niche Finder does an excellent job with storing the previous keywords you had searched for, making it easy to go back and review your keyword search results. Another benefit this tool includes is the “brain storm” button on the top right side of the software. The brain storm button will generate random searches from Google Suggest, helping if you’re ever stuck and need new material. It also has a feature called the S.O.C or “Strength of Competition”. The S.O.C. help determine the competition of websites for the specific keyword of your choice.
Though the software seems promising, it also (in my opinion) has major flaws. Micro Niche Finder runs off of Wordtracker. It gets all of the keywords from Google Suggest then matches them with Wordtracker search counts. So the results come from mixing two different sources that gather data differently, then combining them to generate the search numbers. I was a bit confused and contacted James Jones who is the owner of the software. This is the the email reply I got back from James Jones. James states, “Phrases come from Google Suggest. Counts come from Wordtracker.” Now, Wordtracker uses different meta crawlers than Google to determine it’s search counts. What this means is that the search numbers that Wordtracker provides are off when you compare them to Google’s. Come on, let’s be honest, it’s almost everyones goal to be indexed in Google. How are we suppose to determine what keywords to use if we don’t get accurate search results? If you want an example of this visit my previous post about Wordtracker search results here.
One last thing I forgot to mention is the support. James Jones does an excellent job responding to any emails or questions you may have about the software. I have emailed him numerous time regarding some issues I had with the software and he was prompt to answer them.
Would I recommend Micro Niche Finder? No, I would not recommend this tool. Based on the search count inaccuracies of the software, I don’t think it’s a wise investment of $67. You should save your money and use the free keyword tools out there like, the SEO Book keyword tool and the Google keyword tool. Sometimes the best things in life are FREE.
I’m looking forward to your comments.

Hello Jerry,
Well I ‘m glad your wrote this and that I read it, I was just about to purchase Micro Niche after several weeks of debating with myself. I really am pretty sure at this point that none of these “paid” keyword tools are worth it, wouldn’t it be great if we could actually have a completely accurate search numbers tool!!
Thanks for the honest post,
JR

It’s strange. I found your site last week and bookmarked it because it had a lot of info I needed with how to find a niche, and then I see it again in the DP forum.
This is a great site and is now one of my everday site.

I have to agree that sometimes the best things are free when it comes to many keyword finding tools. The recent update to googles keyword finder is probably one of the best things to use now and its free!

# Think about the conditions that exist in peoples lives that cause them to “search” the way they do.
What about all of the people who have financial challenges?
What about the people who live alone in this world who are dying from loneliness?
Or how about the folks who are suffering from a specific medical condition?
What about the people who are in the midst of mortgage foreclosure?
Do you have solutions for certain situations? Think about the conditions that you could help people solve. Be found for them and create magnificent content that reads well and meets their needs and don’t forget your call to action.
# Consider researching “dialogue patterns.” Did you know that we often communicate differently when we speak to each other, than when we are writing an article or creating content. Some of the simplest, plain, every day (even boring little phrases) and words we use when we dialogue with each other, can open up amazing new possibilities for traffic. Pay attention when your customers are talking to you and consider exactly, the words they use to speak to you. Try using some of those words as single “root” words to explore search behavior.
***It’ll take you time to catch on to this tip because our brains our automatically attracted to the words we “think” sound important and we cannot see how some little acronym or boring sounding expression could ever help reveal anything. Don’t miss the boat.
# Have you ever thought about exploring hot subject matter? Think more about the “topics” your customers are interested in discussing or learning about in general. People are interested in all types of causes and concerns from religion and politics to statistical data and news. People like to analyze things and discuss things that relate to their industry. Don’t limit yourself to thinking that you can only optimize your Web pages to 3 or 4 keyword phrases because you “think” they are all that exist.
# Remember to exploring and research opportunities by researching specific colors. Color is a big deal in some industries.
# Consider exploring topics related to specific seasons, which may be appropriate for your Web audience.
# Try researching common acronyms related to your industry to open up more “unexplored data.”
Make sure you are not mixing up acronyms between industries though. Did you know there are over 100 different related meanings to the common acronym we refer to as SEO? And many of these do not relate to the search engine industry.
