how much competition is too much?

how do you decide which niche to participate in. i believe you check the competition before selecting the niche...so my main question here is how do u decide whether the competition is less or more?

 

well,i just search the keyword,and view how many Adwords ADS there are,the less the better

 

You certainly need to check out the niche for competitors, but in my mind, if your product really shines, then create a great strategy and go for it! There is always going to competition in one form or another.

 

thanks for the reply...my problem is when i type in the keyword in wordtracker and find that the kei is way low, i panic and drop the idea...have dropped a number of ideas in the way in the past month.....an off the topic question...is there any book/guide/site that explains website promotion and boosting the chances of the site ranking higher for noobs

 

I would also like to know if there is a site which explains web site promotion.

 

any chances of some help

 

Look for Jim Edwards site (theNetReporter.com). It is a membership site that has TONS of the kind of information you my be seeking.

Good luck,
Jim
