Rochelle's Overall Rating
Micro Niche Finder 3 (the current version) is a keyword research tool. It allows you to see what variations of a word or phrase people are searching for on Internet search engines. This is important if you want to maximize the potential traffic to a website or the page of a website.
Keyword research is one of the most important factors in bringing visitors to a site. It you target (i.e. use) keywords that no one is searching for, then people are highly unlikely to find your site. If, however, you know what words and phrases people are searching for, then you can target those keywords on your site, and increase your chances of increasing the number of visitors your site receives.
Features
Unlike other, more costly, keyword search tools, There is only a one-time cost associated with Micro Niche Finder. After that, all keyword searches are free. Micro Niche Finder even includes all future upgrades, major or minor, at no additional cost. That is an increasingly rare occurrence among software programs these days.
I have used both Micro Niche Finder and WordTracker. While WordTracker will provide users with more results, it is more difficult and confusing to use, not to mention considerably more expensive. I’ve been very happy with the results I get with Micro Niche Finder.
This tool will save any searches you want saved. This can is a great feature, should you want to revisit any previous searches.
One of the most powerful aspects of this tool is “Strength of Competition,” or SOC, feature. When you use SOC you will be able to see how many other sites are competing for that particular keyword or phrase. This is important because there is no point wasting your time on a keyword that already has a lot of competition. Additionally, this is a great way to find keywords that have little to no competition, almost guaranteeing you traffic for that keyword (please know that no one can actually guarantee traffic, but this comes close).
The only disappointing feature is that this tool does not search on brand names. For example, if you search for the word “ipod,” then you will see results that are related to MP3 players, not on on ipods themselves.
When you visit the website for this tool you will have to sign up for five free videos before you get to the sales page. The videos provide excellent information, especially given that they are free. They are worth watching.
You will get four free bonuses with this tool. I usually don’t care about bonuses, and admit that I’ve only read one of them (the Squidoo one), but I was very impressed with it. The free Squidoo bonus was almost as informative as a PDF I recently bought. My guess is that the other three bonuses are also quality items.

I bought this keyword tool almost 3 years ago. I paid 67.00
and never paid a dime again. Every time he comes out with a new
method of using the tool he shares his knowledge with us **FREE**. James Jones, is one of the most giving person. he really cares about you the consumer.
I use this after I have gone to gtrends and google keywords just to check the comp and to get ideas for article writing..set up site and then
I top this off with Unique article wizard. That software blows all the crap out there out the water. just write your own articles and do not use the spinner given. give your articles 2 anchor links.

@Vasthi – Like you, I’ve also had Micro Niche Finder for several years. I completely agree that James cares about his customers. This program has developed quite a bit since v1, and each update has greatly improved upon the previous releases.

I have had Micro Niche Finder for over a year and must say that it has helped me find keywords that have helped me to land on the first page for its terms in just a few days. I love that fact that James Jones has kept his fine software at a one time cost and not gone the way of a monthly membership.
