Things seem to change so quickly. Terapeak looks a lot different to the video. Can't seem to find any sub categories to my keyword. Is there a lot of difference between Bans 2.0 and 3.0. I know they look different but do the same principles apply in making the category structure etc.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('15457','Rudolf'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('15457','Rudolf','I wish I\'d found this site 10 months ago.

Regarding the keyword research… Do you use the google toolbar? If so, just type the word “Binocular” into the toolbar search box…. Do you see the list of words that pops up as suggested search phrases? THOSE are the terms people are searching for the internet for…

You first category, “Binoculars & Telescopes” has more than 533 other pages in the google index already… with the EXACT keyphrases and the EXACT onpage information from other BANS users…

This means your site is starting out 534th…. Ask yourself, Why would a search engine promote MY site over these others, when in reality, they are identical….

This is a very good niche… but you have to take the time to make it unique!

What I have done so far is go to ebay.co.uk and looked at what categories contain binoculars. I then loaded these into the BANS software. I then had long menus, so I turned off everything except the main categories. Is this the right way to go? I can't see how key phrases can help me with my category choices really, because if binoculars don't show up in the search results on ebay, then they just aren't there. Hoping that is clear enough.

Still working on the categories.

Is this the right way to go?

Hoping that is clear enough.
Thanks very much.
