(Depending on where you’re from, you’re likely to get different results during your search. Please feel free to share the observations from your SERPs in the comments section.)

Content: Look deeper (or shallower) and it also confirms that good content will trump those 2 attributes as evident in the Top 10 listings.

Check out our Resources page for a full list of websites, blogs and links related to Niche Marketing.

We’ve managed to confirm ours but if you’re getting stuck here and spending too long on it, move on. You can always come back to it once you’ve written a few posts and added more content to your new blog.

Here are the choices that we had:

• Original version: ‘Niche Internet Marketing Business Opportunities’
• Short Version: ‘Targeted Markets with a Big Audience’
• Long Version: ‘Targeted Marketing and the Monetization of profitable Niche Markets with a Massive Audience’
• Final Selection: Targeting profitable Niche Markets with a Massive Audience.
• Our site title: “MassiveNiche.com – Targeting profitable Niche Markets with a Massive Audience”

If there’s one word to sum up what we’re about, it’s probably ‘marketing’. Ironically, that’s not in the Title and we somehow felt that it may be a good idea.
