Brian reached out to us through customer support to show me his GSC graph on a website using exclusively keywords from LowFruits.

I asked him if he would like to participate in a Q&A session, and he agreed.
So, here we are.

In this guest post, you will learn:

• What unconventional method does Brian use to discover seed keywords?
• How he evaluates the strength of a niche?
• Why is he also targeting keywords that have a search volume of less than 10?
• Which filters does he use, all the time, to find low-competition keywords?
• His top 6 tips for effective keyword research, when using LowFruits
• and a lot more!

1. Can you share a little bit about your background and what you do?

While I have a legal background (law school graduate and former lawyer), I am now doing what I enjoy in life as a full-time Internet marketer who builds niche YouTube channels and websites, and monetize both mediums.  

2. Can you provide us with some info on your website, its primary objectives, and the results of your SEO efforts?

While I have multiple websites, I have experienced the highest level of success with a website that I created using LowFruits exclusively for my keyword research strategy.

The primary objective of this website was to provide information to people who are either about to have some type of eye surgery (i.e., Cataract Surgery, PRK, LASIK) or have had one of these types of surgeries in the past. 

I was able to identify the information voids that I could fill with my website by utilizing the tools provided by LowFruits, in addition to tools that I utilize to create content and build backlinks to my website categories.

Below are four (4) graphs (12 months, 3 months, 28 days, and “Most Recent Day” respectively) which show the performance of this website over these time periods.

What is even more exciting, is that my work on this website is 100% complete.  I just have to allow this website to exist while its organic traffic continues to grow and generate more and more passive income for me.

This website’s success would have been impossible without LowFruits.

The website now receives over 1,000 visitors daily and is still growing in traffic.

3. Utilizing LowFruits in Keyword Research

3.1 How have you incorporated LowFruits into your keyword research process?

1. I go to the Keyword Finder in LowFruits and type in my seed keyword.

2. I then analyze about 100-300 keywords and then go to the Reports page to determine the “Opportunity Percentage” where I am looking for 80% and above.

This tells me that at least 80% of the keywords that I just analyzed have low competition, and that I have a strong niche.

3.2 How do you come up with seed keywords or topics to search?

While this is very unorthodox, I became an author on multiple freelance writing websites and made a list on the topics that people were consistently willing to pay writers to create content about.

I then created a spreadsheet with the seed keyword for each topic and rated each keyword as “Good, Fair or Poor” based on a combination of the Cost Per Click and Search Volume associated with each keyword.

I was able to find numerous obscure yet highly profitable niches with very low competition by using this method.

3.3 Do you filter down and target specific keywords? Which filters do you mainly use?

The filters that I rely on most heavily and run concurrently are:

1. Weak Spots —–> At least 1
2. Title —–> No AllInTitle (top 10) 

This allows me to target underserved keywords for which less relevant articles are ranking. 

“No AllInTitle (top 10)” means that the websites which rank for this keyword on the 1st page of Google do not contain this keyword in their titles. Additionally, they are lower authority websites.

Nevertheless, once I have created articles for all keywords under these combined filters, I will turn the “Title Filter” off, and just focus on creating content for weak spots.

3.4 What range of search volumes do you typically target in your keyword selection?

Although it goes against conventional thinking, I do not pay attention to search volume. As long as there is an opportunity to rank, I am targeting a keyword, including < 10 keywords.

The reason why I take this approach is:

1. Search volume is always changing and I am in it for the long-haul. 
2. Reported search volume is notoriously inaccurate. 

3.5 What are you looking for in the weak spots?

I typically need to see at least two (2) green/blue/ (either or both combined) to target a keyword. However, if the search volume is higher or the CPC is high, I might create content if there is only one (1) low fruit, but this is rare. 

3.6 Do you focus on maximizing the use of keywords in a particular topic before moving on to the next?

I will exhaust a topic until there are no more keywords that fit my criteria. However, the main reason why I use the topic filters is because it is easiest for me to create content in one category at a time due to my content creation strategy.

4. Content

4.1 How many articles have you published using LowFruits?

6,928 published articles as of this moment.

1. The website that I registered on December 28, 2022, has 3,560 articles, which were all created using LowFruits.

2. I created a smaller website to promote one of my YouTube channels which has 660 articles, which were all created using LowFruits.

3. Currently I am working on a website that as of this moment has 2,708 published articles, but my plan is to add around 1,300 more articles since that website is in a very good niche.

4.2 How long did it take for those articles to start ranking?

When I registered my domain on December 28, 2022, I started publishing articles that same day. The website received its first search engine impressions on January 12, 2023, and its first three (3) search engine clicks on Friday, January 13, 2023. 

In January 2023, the majority of my traffic was from Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yahoo. It took about a month for those articles to start ranking and my website left Google’s sandbox around March 15, 2023 (2.5 months). 

Now the vast majority of my traffic comes from Google and today I get around 1,000 visitors per day and growing.

4.3 Do you use AI / hire writers / write yourself / other?

I use 100% Ai, but never anything GPT. I avoid GPT because, as of today, it cannot provide details post-2021. 

The Ai that I use to create content researches in real-time and writes content from scratch, ensuring that it is both factual and unique. It is important that you use a tool that creates 100% fact-based content.

Once my content is written by Ai, I post it “as-is” with no changes on my part.

5. Tips and Strategies

5.1 What are your top tips and strategies for effective keyword research using LowFruits?

My top tips are

1. Make sure you start out by identifying a niche which actually has good opportunities using the “Opportunity Percentage” feature in LowFruits. 

2. Focus less on search volume and more on the opportunity to fill a void.

3. Make sure to factor Cost Per Click (CPC) into your analysis because this is how you will be paid.

For example, if a keyword has a CPC of $0.80, you should explore the niche more deeply to see if there are higher CPC keywords in that niche.

If there are not, this is not a good niche.  Keep in mind that there are low competition keywords with a CPC of close to $20.

4. Make sure that your website is organized well by menu category and keep topics within their designated menu categories. 

5. Make sure that your articles are at least 1,200 words long, and are written in short paragraphs with multiple subheadings throughout the article.

6. Start building highly relevant backlinks to your website’s menu within the 1st month.

If your website is about dog training and has a category about German Shepherd dog training, get a backlink to that category from a website that covers the topic of “German Shepherd dog training”. 

I don’t research my competitors when it comes to creating backlinks because I build my own private blog networks (PBN)  which link back to my website.

Therefore, if I were to create a website which covered the topic of “German Shepherd dog training”, I would create a 40 – 60 page website which covers topics exclusively related to “German Shepherd dog training”.

Then I would link all of the internal pages to a 2000-word  “Super Post” which would contain a backlink to the “German Shepherd dog training” category on my money website. 

I doubt that a PBN is necessary to rank when using LowFruits, but I like to “future-proof” to ensure that my rankings stick for years to come.

5.2 What advice would you give to someone just starting out with keyword research using LowFruits or keyword research in general?

Make sure that you use LowFruits to find a void that needs to be filled. You can easily do this by utilizing the “Weak Spots” and “Title” filters in LowFruits together. That is going to be your quickest path to success. 

Final Thoughts

Is there anything else you’d like to share or any final thoughts on keyword research?

LowFruits is a game changer for anyone who is considering building niche websites because it streamlines the process of identifying a profitable niche. 

Keep in mind that when you build and monetize a website, you can turn around and sell it for 35x to 48x the profit if earns per month. This is the going rate for a monetized website on Empire Flippers.

In other words, once your website starts generating $14,000 per month in net profit, you will be able to sell it for between “$490,000 and  $672,000”. 

I highly recommend that you build your websites on WordPress. Doing so will allow you to use the free “Jetpack” plugin, which will allow you to turn on a feature within Jetpack that automatically links your most relevant articles.

Internal linking is an on-page SEO strategy that is critical to the success of your website.
