If you believe you’ve found a niche market with paramount advertising opportunities and very little competition, you may want to run a brief test before getting involved in designing a fancy website. The method is simple and only takes a few minutes.

Once you’re done with keyword and prospective affiliate research, go to blogger.com and set up a free domain there using your best niche keywords (for example: solar-cell-research.blogspot.com). Create a blog using all the default settings and submit an article relative to your niche, full of keywords.

Enable the RSS feed and submit it to several RSS aggregators. Add your newly created site to a bunch of social bookmaking sites.

Wait up to an hour, then head over to Google and do a search: “@solar-cell-research.blogspot.com” (replace the “solar-cell-research” with your own keywords).

Once you see the RSS aggregators appear in the SERPs, search again using only your keywords this time (solar cell research). If you still see the aggregators in the first three pages of the search results, you know that you’ve chosen the right niche and have high chances to dominate the SERPs.

This is a proven method; it is free, it does work, and takes only 5 minutes to implement. If your niche does not work out, leave it and try another one.

Good luck!
