Defining a Niche Market
by: Desmond Mantor
How to Define a Niche Market?
The internet is so versatile that there is a website for
practically every wish and need you can think of. The
internet can be best described as a collection of small,
diverse niches. Unlike conventional print or television ads
that target mass audiences, online marketing concentrates on
specific niches and is therefore more effective in
attracting potential customers. Search engine optimized
websites and ezine advertising are some examples of online
advertising that are cost effective. Before you come up with
an advertising plan however, you need to identify your
niche.
Here is how you do this. Say you have developed a
revolutionary and novel method of extracting a larger amount
of caffeine from every coffee bean than previously thought
possible. So who do you target in your advertising? People
who need a higher caffeine kick in their coffee are probably
people who need to keep up their energy levels at work. This
tells you that they would come from a lower to middle class
socioeconomic background. Therefore to place your ad in an
ezine that targets upper class, gourmet coffee drinkers
would be unwise. Once you know the habits and backgrounds of
your potential customers, it becomes easier to market your
products to them.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of websites out there
trying to sell coffee to people. So how do you anticipate
capturing their attention when they have so many other
people offering essentially the same product already vying
for that attention? Now if you already know what links
your customers on the socioeconomic level, you should know
whether a campaign filled with flashy graphics and attention
grabbing text will work best or whether a scholarly
explanation of your product would be more effective. No
matter the approach, you must get their attention!
Finally, if your product is really unique and your coffee is
genuinely better than the rest, you should use that as the
central point of your Internet marketing campaign. It gives
you a competitive edge over the sea of others selling
coffee. In case your product is just a different brand name,
then you will have to present it ostensibly and shout louder
than your competitors.
Online marketing today is the most efficient way of
targeting niche markets and drawing potential customers to
your website. However, to identify your niche market, you
need to explore the socioeconomic backgrounds of your
potential clientele, know what kind of marketing gimmicks
appeal to them and once you have their attention, convince
them about the superiority of your product or service. With
this three points covered in your strategy, you will not
only increase your customer base but your profits as well.

Non-Reciprocal Link Building For Higher Search Engine Positioning By Dave Davies, Beanstalk Search Engine Positioning, Inc.
There are two main advantages to non-reciprocal links as opposed to reciprocal links. The first is that these links will hold more weight, as they aren’t reciprocated (the search engines can detect whether links are reciprocal). The second advantage is that they don’t have to be monitored as closely as reciprocal links. With reciprocal links one has to be aware of unethical webmasters who will take links down or use other tactics to insure that the search engines don’t see the links pages. You have to be aware of these events so that you can remove their links from your site if warranted however with non-reciprocal links you don’t have to be as concerned as you’re not linking to them.
