IMEYE Review: Niche Keyword and Domain Research Automation
Tuesday
Apr 6, 2010
Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey have done it again with the release of their “super secret” IMEYE Niche Keyword and Domain research software While I have not had a chance to personally use this software yet, when it is released tomorrow I will make sure I do and post a Video here about it.
I have seen an Insiders Video of Steve Clayton using the software and I understood immediately why it was kept secret. This software finds the niche keywords for you based on what parameters you set. Competition, CPC, Searches, etc. Then it will give you a list of keywords that meet that criteria that are genuine money makers. The software filters out junk keywords so you don’t have to. It also does a lot more, but without using it myself, I don’t want to assume anything.
Pick a niche? It give you every available keyword with every niche that meets your criteria. So it gives you the best niches to use with one click! Then, on top of this, it will search for and find the available Domain Names for that keyword or keywords that you choose to use. It is really an Auto Bloggers dream because you don’t have to figure out what niches to use, it gives you a list to choose from every time you use the software and with over 2 Million current keywords and counting, this software could be the best new thing to come along in a long time.
UPDATE: April 9, 2010. While I did purchase IMEYE yesterday, I haven’t had the time to get into it the way I woul dhave liked in order to show you all a quality video on how it works and its overall value. I have however had 2 excellent, unbiased reviews come in to my forum at the Auto Blog Blueprint that are very long and detailed that I thought would help people make their decisions better than I can.
Here is the first Review by Peter from PeterBuick.com
I don’t think it’s over priced, but I think it is priced beyond most people’s budgets, especially on a monthly subscription.
IMHO to get “maximum” value you would have to be able to afford and physically launch 50+ sites per month.
At 10 bucks per domain (more like $40 each for aged) that’s 500 bucks. Plus a new host (ip) for each 50, another $10 per month.If you can afford $510 per month for your assets, then $150 per month for the “ideas” tool, isn’t so bad.
Also with 50 sites each month, we should, I HOPE, be earning well at least $10 per site, on average, so our outlay is almost NOTHINGInvestment vs expense.
Not sure about you, but I can’t even launch 3 per month!
my automation is still coming, but it’s just time man
Even copy and pasting 10 plr articles takes time!I bought the tool.I will be sending it back.
Initially I thought it was a bit naff, but you just have to watch the 5 hours of video to learn the bizarre way they have done it.
Must be their own niche method, which I never did as that was expensive too.But the default columns are NOT the way most people think! So your initial results are erm unexpected.
However once you get in to it…
I must admit I came away with 40 niches I would never have considered otherwise (and another 1800 saved), and I did it in 50 minutes, no thinking required, and as Steve says, if even 1 of them pans out in to a money earner, then it will pay for itself 100 fold (literally)
BUT now I have 40 sites to launch, and then I’d have another bill of $149 in 29 days.
This is for SERIOUS players who have TIME and MONEY to dedicate to it. AKA you have to know it will work.
Otherwise it is like everything else – just another money sucking monthly fee.Also I am very doubtful that all it returns is golden. There were quite a few foreign language phrases in there, which is a fine niche, if you can cope with translation plug-in et al. But I don’t even know what the niches were. LOL.
But as usual, there were some “keyword order” “goldmines” and frankly I do not believe those are real. Try a search and see how the results erm don’t change!
They still get their data from google, and frankly google lies and guesses and makes stuff up! That’s why things that must work on paper, just don’t.I didn’t notice any mis-spellings, praise the lord, but maybe they will come in the next million added next month.
Also I noticed that the keywords are all driven from niches they have done in the past. This is natural for the first million, but what they’ve done is mined right down in to markets they already know. Probably because they were going to anyway, and that’s when they had the idea for this tool.
So i.e. bad credit, no surprise to any one I presume, but drilled right down.
Does it take a genius to think of that? (no)
Can you do it manually? (yes it just takes 6 times longer)So if you are a serious player who can physically spew out 50 sites per month, then you will come away with ideas you never had before.
Whether they are any good or not?
I managed to buy a 100% domain name (new) and I’m yet to put my site up.So time will tell.
I think it is naff personally, but it said it was golden.
You also get Keyword Blueprint (like market samurai) as a bonus, to confirm what IMeye said, as the data is 1 month old, at least, already.It’s probably a good thing it is priced in the elite ballpark, otherwise numpties like me would release 20 “half cocked” sites a week.
the price leaves it in the hands of the high earning “Mikes” who somehow have a time machine (outsourcers?) to be able to react to this amount of stuff.
As always, it takes money to make money.
For the rest of us, we have to take the action we can, until we can build up our money. For which we hope Mike can show us the light.
Bottom line, any one “here” on AutoBlogBluePrint is probably not in this league yet, and apologies if that costs any one their affiliate commission.
BUT HIONESTLY you could spend $149 per month on something a LOT MORE PRODUCTIVE and EARNING than an ideas or research tool.For $149 you could buy 10 domains and pay an outsourcer $50 to setup and populate them.
Now THAT is an investment and not an expense.I’ll be sorry to see IMeye go, but I have 1800 saved and 40 I’d like to do TODAY already.
How many damn niches and keywords do I need?
When (if) I truly make the money to cover it, I will glady pay for IMeye.It’s a great tool. Just most people won’t need it, UNTIL they have earnt their first $1000 per month REGULARLY.
And it had the worst OTO upsell I have ever seen. LOL.
“Hey we make something else you have probably never heard of, do you want it?”
I mean literally, that was the sales video! ROFLOL. No social proof. No benefits. No what is it.
I think that also says something.
Here is the Second Review from another Member named Phil (no link):
Despite me slagging off the price in an earlier post I bought it yesterday. BTW we Brits and Eurepeans have to pay an additional 17.5% VAT I think on the $147. If you close the window on the buy page it gives you an chance to use it for 3 days for about £4. I’ve been using it all day today. I have to agree with what Peter said. I’m not keeping it either. I just can’t justify the cost. Yes it does give you ideas about niches you would never have thought about. But you can use the brainstorm option in Micro Niche Finder to get ideas or Google Trends and even Google Products.
One of the biggest failings is the results are not in exact search mode but phrase match. I’ve found a ton of keywords that looked like gems but once I’ve run them through Market Samurai and MNF in exact phrase match 99% of them so far have turned out to be a lot less lucrative then they look in IMeye. They are going to give an option for exact match in the near future. Why this isn’t included in the first place is beyond me. A 4 word keyword phrase is obviously going to give better looking results in phrase match than exact match. In the beginning I was getting really excited by some of the things I was seeing. Longtail keywords with 100000’s of searching and little competition. Then I put them in MS and exact phrase to see they long tail phrase wasn’t being searched for after all! It’s got to be quite depressing actually!
The domain tool option is a bit hit and miss too. Because the data is up to 30 days old and a lot of the domains had either been snapped up already or were very obscure compared to the keyword. Again I think this has to do with phrase matching. I actually started searching for keywords with domains expiring or up for auction because I thought I’d hit on something but I found only one in 3 hours worth going for.
In the end I decided to stop looking for expiring domains and just went for phrases with high search volumes and low competition.
I have been at this solidly for 6 hours straight today. I’ve managed to findone keyword which I bought and installed WordPress on it already. I’m going to run Mike’s autoblog system through it and we’ll see what results I get. These are the ‘exact’ keyword results in MS
Searches SEOT PBR SEOC SEOTC SEOTCR AWT AWCPC AWCTR AWV ? SEOV
118 49 82% 164,000 6,770 4% 1 $3.43 0.85% $3.43 $169.99Seo competition is easily beatable. But whether 118 searches a day will bring enough traffic remains to be seen. Amazon’s in the top 2 spots followed by my domain keyword in a different tld. It’s got one page indexed and 24 backlinks. Looks like an Xfactor site to me. Actually finding Xfactor sites is now a green light for me. It means I can get it front of these sites with very little work
I won’t be going beyond the three day trial with this. As Peter mentions you have to make a lot of sites to make it pay. I just don’t have enough time in the day to make it cost effective which is a shame. It can and will save you a lot of time but as I have MS & MNF already I’ll stick with them for now.
Now you can see with noth of these completely unbiased Reviewes that while IMEYE has a lot of value, the price point of $147 per month may be the turning off point for some. I believe the software needs to evolve a little more and maybe they released it a little early, but it is an awesome tool no less. Is it worth keeping for more than the current 7 Day Refund period, more than 1 month, or should you click to leave the IMEYE page and choose the $4.95 – 3 Day Trial Offer instead? It is a dilemma. I will let you be the judge.

Building a Backlinking Strategy: A Plan for SEO Success
Monday
Sep 21, 2009
I get asked here all the time why I am so successful at getting my sites into the Top 3 listings on Google for their chosen keywords. I use most of the Software that I Review and often get asked how I use each one in my overall Backlinking Strategy for SEO. I thought I would provide you all with the basic plan of action I use for succeeding with all of my sites.
1. Keywords
Your keyword selection is the most important thing you have to figure out. I spend more time in keyword research than I do in deciding where I am going to promote my sites. I use Market Samurai almost exclusively when I am researching keywords, but you can get the exact same information through the Google External Keyword Tool for Free.
For example, if I am working on a site that is in the Weight Loss niche, I first do a base search on Weight Loss. What you find is that there is way too much competition in the Weight Loss niche to try to compete for the base keywords themselves, so I focus on keywords that are low competion that still bring in a decent number of searches per month. I like my keywords to have a minimum of 1000 searches per month. I then choose 4 that relate closely to my target site. For example: simply weight loss, slimming weight loss, fastest weight loss, and best weight loss programs.
Now that I have my keywords, I place each one in the Google Search tool again and see all of the related keywords that go with them. I now create my website pages, reviews, articles, and social bookmarking blurbs. All of these either have the keywords in them and they have the related keywords. I like to have a 2-3% keyword density for all of the base keywords I use on each page. You can check this at KeywordDensity.com. Don’t answer the question to your overall subject in your offsite promotional articles. Use the articles to push visitors to the answer to their questions or where they can get more information on your main site.
2. Article Spinning
I now take all of the articles that I wrote and I spin them with the Mass Article Creator (from Mass Aricle Control) and the Magic Article Rewriter. I like the Mass Article Creator to setup my articles for submission through the Unique Article Wizard (UAW). It formats my articles and spins my phrases and sentences perfectly for UAW. This is not the only way to do this this is just my way. I then use the Magic Article ReWriter to prep my articles for SENuke (my SEO Backlink software tool). The Magic Article ReWriter will format my articles exactly the way SENuke wants them (it will format your spun article with the {|} formatting required in the SENuke spinner. Yes, SENuke has a Rewriter, but I don’t think it is the strong suit of SENuke, so I use better tools becauseI can afford to.
Once this is all done and prepped, I get ready for my initial submission processes.
3. Unique Article Wizard & Social Bookmarking
I now submit a few of my site’s pages, to include the Home Page, to about 20 of the Top Social Bookmarking sites. I pay particular attention to Digg, StumbleUpon, Mixx, Reddit, and I also push the URL’s through Twitter on my main account. Usually, this alone will have my site indexed in Google, sometimes within a few hours if I am submitting a blog or about 48-72 hours for an HTML/ PHP site. This is all done using all of the Keyword Phrases I developed in Step 1, each used with a different URL where the keyword is the most applicable to your Page’s content.
I have by now created a minimum of one article for each keyword phrase. I have 4 spun copies of each article built specificlly for the Unique Article Wizard. Each set of articles for each keyword is used for one submission in UAW. Once I complete the submission process for all of my articles, I can now expect to push the specific keyword anchor text I created to over 1000 sites with just this method. I use the spin feature in UAW to ensure I cycle through my 4 keyword anchor text phrases across each article, so I spread all of the keywords across all of the articles. If the site wasn’t indexed by Google before, with this step I am almost definitely in after 1 or 2 days. The UAW submissions will actually grow your backlinks over time and not all at once. This is one of the bigger benefits of using UAW as opposed to a traditional Article Submission service.
Here is the key though: I do not link to the home page of my site with the Keyword Anchor Text at all through the UAW process. I link to pages within my site in order to build strength within my site and not just drive traffic to my home page. For this to work, you have to ensure that you link all of your pages within your sites together, preferrably with a Silo type structure. Additional random linking also helps, like if you use the Simple tags Plugin for Wordpress sites, which will link your blog posts together with tag links randomly.
4. Wait a week or so.
Yes, I wait. I don’t want to saturate Google with Backinks right off the bat. I will submit Articles to EzineArticles and GoArticles during this time, but that is about it. These 2 Article Directories can be submitted to through SEnuke too, but I usually submit to them individually. They are powerhouse article directories which will bring in a ton of traffic if you do things right. Focus on your main keywords for these sites. If you need to use your home page for these sites due to your site having limited content, these are the directories that will maximize your link building efforts. These Article Directories should receive your best Articles outside of your site’s actual content. If you follow up with additional submissions later, focus on articles with content just over the minimum in order to push traffic to your site.
5. SENuke
SENuke is my Primary Tool for High PR SEO Backlink Building. I now load up my SENuke specific articles and get to promoting through all of the Web 2.0 sites and Article Directories that SENuke offers. I do not submit to EzineArticles and GoArticles as I already did that in my previous step. I have at least 5 articles setup for each keyword phrase at this point from my article spinning session I talked about in Step 2. In SENuke I have created 5 profiles for this specific niche already, so now I will submit one article through each Profile with a separate keyword focus for each. I do the same with the Social Bookmarking section of SENuke and the High PR Profile submission section. This entire process usually takes me about a week or two. I don’t rush it and to be honest, even with the automation of SENuke, it takes awhile and I am usually working on other sites and projects while this is being done. It is important when you create Projects like this, that you Plan accordingly. Project Management is key so you can keep this going for multiple projects at the same time. If you haven’t used SENuke, or want more information on SENuke, you can see my Review which has Video on how to use it and it’s capabilities here.
I only just started using this a month or so ago. The great thing about this software is it allows you to use WPMU, Blogger, Pligg, and Tumblr to maximize backlinking. I think I have added about 40,000 backlinks to all of my sites together using this software over the last month. It doesn’t have the site range you may want, but it is a great compliment to SENuke. It doesn’t always work great (updates are constant), but when it does, it is fantastic. I use some of the same articles I have already spun from Mass Article Creator for this and it works great. I have been using this constantly for all of my sites, so I don’t have a good timeline for it’s use, but for any type of SEO promotion work you do, SPAM is not an option. You have to be smart, More is not always better. If you have a huge spike in backlinks over a few days for one site, you will see your rank climb and then suddenly fall. Google is always watching. For more information on what Link Farm Evolution can do, see my video review here.
7. Directory Submissions
By now about a month has gone by. I now like to move on to other things in order to not focus on just one or two sites. I now look at submitting my sites to a bunch of High PR SEO Friendly Web Directories. I do this through Directory Maximizer which allows me to space out my submissions over several weeks and I can choose 4 or 5 Keyword (Title) Variations and Descriptions and they do the submitting for me for a small $0.14 per directory fee. This isn’t the only option for Directory Submissions. The Warrior Forum provides great Special Offers for Directory Submissions from time to time. Directory Maximizer is very convenient to use and it works very well.
8. Social Bookmarking and High PR Links
I now also use a Social Bookmarking service I purchase through the Warrior Forum Special Offer section and I also use a High PR link building service from Angela Edwards there as well which gives me 30 links per month. Both services cost me about $100 total each month for each set of keywords I promote. Like I said before, I do it because I can afford to. Having them do it saves me time and money so I can focus on other aspects of my business. In fact, I normally don’t even write most of my own articles anymore, but I do still do all of my own Article Spinning.
Last Step: Use Analytics, Stats, and Do it Again
Now it is time to evaluate what you have done, which you should be doing from the start actually. Keep track of your stats and see what is working and what isn’t. Make changes, add new keywords, promote new links in your site, etc. Wash, rinse, repeat. Do it all over again with new stuff and you will dominate the Niche you are working on taking over. With low competition niches, this method described above might do it by itself. If not, keep adding new articles through the whole process. Track your backlinks, track your traffic, and track where you stand for the keywords you chose.
Here is the Key takeaway from all of this: Using the keywords that are close to your main keyword should now give you residual traffic from your main keyword. It should also push you up the ranks for the main keyword. Most people don’t type the words: “weight loss” into Google. The type keywords that relate to their problems or what the want to figure out, like “how can I achieve weight loss fast”. That is why you will still suceed.
This all works and it works well. You should end up with a few thousand backlinks after using this process and they will have good range from High PR to low which makes your backlinking look natural. You can see that by doing this, you can move ahead of the rest in the pack. If you just saturate the web with backlinks to random keywords and focus just on your home page, you will not get even close to the results that you can with this method. I know that most webmasters don’t use these techniques because I routinely jump to the Top 3 in almost any Niche I choose. I was in either the Top spot or within 2-4 slots from Number 1 in Google during the massive Commission Blueprint 2 Product Launch last week in which I made over $10,000 in Affiliate Sales between 3 Clickbank Accounts.
Lastly: I always get asked about how much website traffic my methods generate. There is no simple answer for this because it is all based on the keywords you select, the quality of your articles (I could write an entire Blog Post on just this), and how much competition there is in the Niche you are in (which goes back to keywords again). If you choose a tight niche where you can dominate 4 Keyword Phrases that generate 4000 searches per month, you can expect at least 2000 -3000 hits from those Searches if you are number #1 with a good Title. After that it goes down substantially. If you can dominate 4 Keyword Phrases that generate 10,000 Searches per month, you can see what you may get with that. If you don’t research your Keywords and see what people are searching for, you have already failed.
Plan to Suceed and you will.
UPDATE: I was emailed fairly quickly by a buddy of mine who reminded me that I forgot to mention a Social Bookmarking tool that I use daily, but do not use at the same time. I used to use Bookmarking Demon as my tool to get indexed fast. I still do when I am pushing a fast affiliate promotion. Laziness has driven me to outsource. I still use Bookmarking Demon (I have for over 3 years), but I use it more for the Randomization features it has in Version 4 than anything else. It constantly keeps my sites in their positions and it keeps me from having to write a ton of articles to keep my sites in their positions. I am sorry I forgot and I feel like I slighted those who I have told for years that this was an essential tool in building backlinks and driving quick bursts of traffic to my sites. I load up Bookmarking Demon and then let it run in the background while I do other things. I am constantly promoting with it, but it is not my Primary tool if you know what I mean.
Let me know if this helps for those of you that have been asking. I will be happy to answer your Questions in the Comment Section Below.

Wordze Review: Keyword Research Better than Wordtracker
Thursday
Jul 31, 2008
I have been a constant user of Wordtracker for a few years now, a humble servant to what I thought was the best service on the web for keyword research and data mining. Well I was wrong. No need to get into a long drawn out discussion about it, Wordze is flat out better than Wordtracker.
Why?
Wordtracker is a great service, don’t get me wrong, but Wordze has so many more tools for keyword research that Wordtracker doesn’t have. Some of the parts of each service are almost identical, hell even the websites look a lot alike, but the bottom line is more is better when it comes to keyword research.
Plus, Wordze is cheaper than Wordtracker. Probably on purpose; as a direct competitor, Wordze has no doubt checked on its competition.
Some Key Features:
-
- 3,000 Searches Per Day
- 10,000 Keywords Per Project
- Unlimited Projects
- WordRank Reports
- Keyword Digger
- Historical Keyword Data
- Keyword Expander
- Weekly Top Keywords
- Monthly Top Keywords
- Keyword Importer
- Access to the API, and more
Not only can you choose keywords you want to expand upon to find the golden long tail keyword. You can pull keywords from competitors websites and then dig deeper into those keywords. Plus, you can import keyword lists from any source and then get detailed reports on those and any other keywords you want to get. You can get the KEI, number of searches, monthly popularity levels, and more. This service isn’t just great for pulling keywords for your money sites, it is a goldmine for building your Adwords, Adsense, and Affiliate marketing campaigns.
Check out the Wordze Tour here for details.
Wordze is actually running a special right now where they are offering their Monthly Subscription for only $38.98. It is normally $47. Either way, both prices are cheaper than Wordtracker. They do offer a 7-Day Trial which is not Free, but it only costs $7.95. The amount of keywords you can mine in a week is crazy since you can get up to 10,000 per project with unlimited projects.
I give Wordze my highest recommendation. I am just surprised that the word isn’t out on how awesome this service is.
Check it out and come back here and let me know what you think. I guarantee you’ll love it. I do, I already switched.
WordTracker Review: Long Tail Keyword Research on Steroids
Wednesday
Jan 23, 2008
There are a lot of keyword tools on the market. All of them compare themselves to Wordtracker. While most keyword researching tools are pricey, Wordtracker usage can be economical, but you have to manage it right. I personally just buy a monthy subscription once and awhile. I use my Month of membership wisely. I use another tool which greatly enhances my speed of use and the amount of keywords I can get from Wordtracker at one time.
It’s called Wordtracker Miner. With Wordtracker Miner, you can maximize your membership to Wordtracker by selecting the KEI you want, the number of competing keyword listings you want, and the overall effectiveness of the niche. In other words, it tells you if your keyword selection is a money making keyword or not. A great tool to quickly find niche keywords which pay without finding out after you have already purchased the domian. There’s a great video of the software in action here.
If you haven’t used Wordtracker for your keyword research. There are a few things you should know. It is web based and can take a little time, but you can easily build keyword lists that range into the thousands. Great Long tail keywords which make money for you rather than competing against the same word everyone else is trying to use in your niche.
Wordtracker is keyword research on steroids. You can find niches and display the amount of searches, how much the keyword is being paid for in Pay Per Click and how that translates to your bottom line. A great tool and one of my must have’s for Black Hat SEO. No doubt.
You can try their Free Keyword Tool here and if you like that, you can try their Free Trial here.
