What you want to do is
Step
1. As you are searching for your Niche Keyword. Let me back up. Lets define "Niche"
as in "Niche Market" according to Wikipedia it is An often used technique for affiliate marketers. By seeking out smaller segments of larger markets, referred to as niches, a website can be developed and promoted quickly to uniquely serve a targeted and usually loyal customer base, giving the affiliate a small but regular income stream. This technique is then repeated across several other niche websites until a desired income level is achieved. A bigger niche is harder to market to as the expense of online advertisements increases according to the popularity of the keywords used on Adwords for example. Many niches are becoming saturated with marketers, increasing competition reduces the slice of the pie available to each according to classic "supply and demand" economic theory. The secret is to find smaller "undiscovered" but still profitable niches, usually by searching out the best keywords to target. These lower cost keywords are called "long tailed keywords", as in the long tail of secondary keyword phrases which usually follow the main keyword in popularity of number of searches conducted by internet users. Some are too obscure and may have very few or even no clicks per month, and therefore not much use to target.

The concept of niche marketing can be well understood by the following example: a number of tv channels caters to the need of a particular niche.for example sports channels like STAR SPORTS, ESPN, STAR CRICKET,TENS SPORTS are focusing towards a niche of sports lovers.

So as I said, pick a Niche, preferably a "Long Tail Keyword" or a more than one word keyword. Now on Adlabs (for short), what you want to find out is something called "The Commercial Intention", which is the chances of you making any money its rated in %,s. Your keyword phrase has to have at least a 65-67% chance of a commercial intention, which means that people who are searching for your product or service will actually PAY MONEY for what you have. If its under that percentage then
FORGET IT, unless you're making and arm and a leg in something else!. Okay next post will go a little deeper in this Maze...

Meanwhile so you'll be ready for me when I come back, heres some more help!
