I didn’t have the same luck in finding a micro niche, although I know they’re out there. I just haven’t narrowed down my market enough. I keep getting hung up on my perception of the market and revenue opportunities. I know Brent and Alan had better luck; hopefully a few others as well.
Today we learned a bit about Page Rank (PR). Page Rank is difficult to predict or influence. While I don’t know all the variables Google uses to arrive at page rank, I do know the number of back links pointing to your site is a factor. To succeed you will need to build back links to your page and high quality links (ie articles) carry more weight than low quality links (directory entries). If you’re using Firefox, download
