You may (or may not) have been seen strange numbers in Micro Niche Finder after Google’s most recent update. Granted, for many people this has not been a problem, but if you have seen anything such as getting only one keyword as a search result or seeing off the wall Ad Cost numbers, these following (and VERY simple) instructions will get sorted out in no time.

We have updated our program, so all you need to do is:

1.) Restart your Micro Niche Finder
2.) Clear any of the strange searches you may have received (you can do this using the ‘Manage Searches’ tab)

Everything should work fine after this. If not, please submit a support ticket so we can analyze your unique situation and fix it.

Thanks!

Do you use Safari as your web browser?  If so, an article recently released on Mashable might interest you. Ten Safari Plugins and Extensions that boost productivity are featured and discussed, and since everyone wants to be more productive while keeping their sanity intact this could be an article worth reading.

I don’t personally use Safari – more of Google Chrome user myself – but the Betwext Remind (a plugin that allows you to set reminders to a specific time and have text alerts sent to your phone) and Read It Later (if you’re working on a project and find an interesting yet unrelated website, instead of procrastinating you can save the website to this folder and peruse it later) seem like they would be REALLY helpful for maintaining focus. In fact, I think I’m going to scour Google Chrome’s options now and see if there is an equivalent of Read it Later!

So if you’re a Safari user, go read this interesting article and slideshow… they might be featuring a plugin you didn’t know existed and yet desperately need. And if there’s an extension or plugin that you feel needs to be invented, why not try making it yourself? Every great invention comes from a need, right? Just a thought!

This interesting tidbit was just released: According to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, 29% of all adults in America own a tablet or an e-reader…and this number will continue to grow. The most interesting part about this survey is that last year at this time only 18% of all Americans owned a tablet or e-reader; as a result of the holiday gift-giving season, the percentage of adults that owned one (or both) or these things nearly doubled. Incredible! Imagine what the figures might be like this time next year….

As the price points keep lowering for tablets and e-readers, more people will buy them. This means that if your business plan is already prepared for the influx of new people to the e-reader or tablet market (perhaps by selling apps or ebooks), you stand an excellent chance of making profits. We’ve been covering this very idea fairly frequently in our webinars, but if you needed hard and recent data to prove that the e-reader and tablet computers are the hot new fields to get into, this survey might be just the catalyst you need to take advantage of this amazing business opportunity!

I found an article that I thought almost all of you would find relevant– it’s an interview with a Quality Rater! Basically, Google employs via independent contractors thousands of people to rate websites in relation to searches and they are called “Search Engine Evalulators”, “Quality Raters”, etc. They technically rate how well Google retrieves results, but as you can already imagine, their job is extremely important. It’s also a field shrouded in secrecy so when reports come in from the “other” side it’s really fascinating and insightful.

One thing that interested me was the stark admission that the raters actually have to visit and explore the webpage they are assigned to rate.  There’s a common misconception that raters don’t always visit the pages they rate but due to their software configurations that is apparently impossible to do.

It’s also more important that page is useful to a potential surfer rather than how well a page fits a query. For example, a Wikipedia entry titled “Women’s Nike Shoes”, though it may fit a search query perfectly, probably isn’t useful to the person who searched that exact term; they would probably find a website like nike.com or sportsauthority.com to be infinitely more useful.

Head on over to Search Engine Land right now to read the article yourself – it’s a good and interesting article!

We often get the question “Why doesn’t Micro Niche Finder results match Google’s results?” (or some variation thereof). It’s important to take into account that there are many variables when you go to www.google.com and do a search; some of these variables include being logged in, search settings, having instant search enabled, what browser you are using, etc. can all affect your default Google results. That is why we match our results with Google’s Keyword Tool.

Since we get our local/global search counts straight from Google’s Keyword Tool, if you see a discrepancy it’s usually due to Micro Niche Finder having different search settings.

For example, Google’s default for searches is “Broad Match, United States, English”.

Micro Niche Finder’s default for searches is “Exact Match, All Countries and Territories, English”.

You can read this nifty article to learn why we believe Exact Match is more useful for keyword analysis versus the standard Broad Match.

If you change your Micro Niche Finder search settings to match those of Google, the results will be the same.

Watch this video on our YouTube channel to learn how to synch your Micro Niche Finder searches with Google’s Keyword Tool!
