No results during keyword research?

[Kimmoy]

@Lynn Thanks! I know this advice seems simple but I can't tell you how much pressure it has taken off of me just reading this. This allows me to build better relationships with my market and I can focus on my niche product site where SEO works . Now one last question, to create my own group do you recommend I use something like vBulletin or moodle vs. social networking sites like my own Facebook/Ning group?

@shelwriter - Thanks! My website is still a work in progress so I'll be updating that page soon. I know the potential is there for this vision I have, sometimes I just need a different perspective from people like you and this group.

Thanks again to everyone for your feedback. Have a great weekend!

Actually, wouldn't people not look for "plus size" but instead, things like "size ___"(depending on what country/region you're in, measurements would be different.) And also, sometimes, alternatives to certain "label names" or fittings or even other things that they use for designing clothing for larger women?

That would be true if they were consumers looking to buy clothes from a retailer or a retailer looking to buy clothes from a wholesaler.

Kimmoy wants to be a consultant and business coach to online merhants who sell those plus size clothes. Or at least, that's how I understand it.

Kimmoy ... this is a little off-topic but related. I also work in a niche that often does not have results in Wordtracker. For me, Google's keyword tool is usually the solution. I can nearly always find some results with Google's Keyword tool when nothing shows up in Wordtracker. So I use both ... sometimes comparing results or when I know it's going to be very niche or very specialized, I go to Google and when it's a more generalized search, I go to Wordtracker.

Can I assume you know that you need an AdWords account (but you don't need to spend any money) to get access to their tool? At least that's how it was around a year ago. Best of luck and I like your confidence!

I'm not sure the best platform. You might want to brainstorm the features you want first. Do you want it to be private so that it isn't indexed and read by others (the discussions) - or do you want it to be public and the content readable to non-members? Once you figure out the features you want, find the platform that offers that.
