Russell, thanks so much for this thread. It's a great benefit to all of us.
Question: Are you using exact match, phrase match or broad match for these results from google adwords?
Thought: the term 'game camera' would include other things I would think - like people looking for cameras to use for football games, taking photos of their kids at soccer games, etc. For all I know, there some Xbox game that has the word camera in it, or the need for a camera. I like the narrowing down that you've done to 'hunting camera.' It occurs to me that you might want to also look to 'safari camera' but consider that some (many?) of those folks will be offended at the idea of hunting. But the type of camera would be much the same, yes?
Good questions Jeanette,
I use broad for judging the search traffic in the google keyword tool, and then a phrase match for search results.
I build a table as i go which would look something like this
keyword Searches (broad) Results (phrase)
keyword 1 25000 12500
There are a million ways you could run the numbers, and is very easy to get hung up while running the numbers. I think though if you run them the same each time, it will give you something reletave to your results in the past.
And part of it is really a gut feeling. You have to get a broad look at the numbers, take a glance at the competition, and press forward. I could easily spend an entire week looking at numbers, but at the end of the day, you really cant tell until you start recievng results back.
I will kind of be using a shotgun strategy, and throwing a bunch of qualified keywords out there, and see where I get feedback, and then direct more attention to where im seeing results.
As for the inclusion of the keyword Game Camera, there are others that could get in there, but from judging the results I get in google, and the keyword tool, the majority are for the hunting related scouting camera.
And to qualify my niche, hunters are very passionate about their hobby, and will spend money on various items to get an advantage.
Excellent tutorial, Russell. Looking forward to the ongoing results and process exchange.
Boo! on the hunting cameras though. (I'm a veghead)
Quick question for you. Are you currently making $50 per day on other sites of yours? Or will this be your first.

***I run a Chicago blog where I cover Chitown fashion, tech, dining, travel, work, activities and more.
I was just thinking about getting something like this started after reading a few reports recently by some warriors.
I am looking forward to how this progresses for you and hope I can gather enough input from you to try successfully on my own. I have a few ideas for niche and product as well.
keep up the good work.
This is a very interesting thread, for sure! I love to watch the exact processes people go through like this - thanks for doing this!
Love that you are doing this as I am really trying to get into affiliate marketing. You are basically creating map for folks like me who have a hard time wrapping their head around the whole kit and kaboodle of affiliate marketing.
At the moment I dont have any one site that makes $50 per day. I do have a few sites that make between $5 -$20 per day though.
But the sites I have done in the past were never laid out well, and I just sorta pieced things together, and didnt really follow a strategy.
This time, I have mapped everything out in a mind map, and amd actually in the process of writing an ebook on the exact action steps it takes to go through the entire process.
This case study will accomplish a few things. One, to prove that my methods actually work when implemented correctly, two, get a site making $50 per day, and I will also be including this case study as a supplement to my ebook.
And its great getting feedback on the processes that im using. I have been teaching people how to build websites and niche sites for a while now, but never really did it in the public. Its very rewarding to see that people are learning from this.
I'm anxious to see if anyone else follows along doing the same process and what their results are. I actually have started looking for a niche but have some more research to do. I think that is the hardest part of the process altogether. You could add those studies to your book too if anyone else gets theirs done successfully.
