Microniche Finder Scam

I have had a couple of messages regarding Micronichefinder and I thought that it would be good idea to clear them up.  One reader was clearly very unhappy and was holding me responsible because I recommended the program to him.

He wrote “This program (MNF) is complete crap! Its a scam! The figures are totally imaginary, I have checked keyword after keyword between micronichecrap and google and none of them match up, total waste of time!!!!!!” and so on.

Frankly, it was an impressive email stretching to 800 words. If he had spent that time productively he would have had a nice article instead! Ha,Ha.

I’m pleased to say we are now back to being friends. The problem he had, and believe me we all have it at one time or another, was, he didn’t read the manual!

Micronichefinder will return a number  for  “exact phrase count” which is the number of pages on Google for a given keyword. This phrase is searched by the program which asks for the result in 100 returns at a time.

Now, Google on your computer has a default setting of 10 results per page, this is a speed issue, however you can reset this through the search settings at the top of the page. Now try this, search for a phrase,  I used “braun electric razors”

MNF returned a count of 44 pages with that exact phrase, but when I went to Google I found it said :

But when I changed the search settings I got:

So, be careful when comparing any results that you are actually comparing like for like.

The other message I have had was regarding the MOB function. This number is the “Measure of Backlinks” and represents an idea of how many backlinks would be required to get on page one of Google. Now there is more to getting page one than backlinks but it does give a good idea of what competition you are up against.

I am not going to bore you with a great long explanation but will point you to a video which explains exactly what the MOB feature is.
