What’s your favorite tool?
One of the most effective ways to develop your empire of niche websites is creating a virtual real estate neighbourhood of several VRE sites whose topics are related to each other.
Let me show you how to organize your virtual real estate empire with a beta tool from Microsoft Research Group. You’ll know how to structure your network of niche websites, and how you can easily find out your niche neighbourhood or related themes.
The secret tool we will be using is called MSRA SRC. MSRA stands for Microsoft Research, Asia. It’s the research group that developed the tool. And SRC stands for Search Result Clustering. It’s a technology to on-the-fly cluster search results into different groups, and provide meaningful and readable names for these groups. To access the tool from the VRE Toolbar, enter your keywords in the toolbar’s search box and click Ideas > MSRA Clustering.
Let’s pick some niche to explore it’s related themes. The Random Niche Generator suggested ‘Picnic Tables’ niche for this article. Type picnic tables in the toolbar’s search box and select Ideas > MSRA Clustering.

43 Things is one of the most popular resources among the Virtual Real Estate Toolbar users. It helps to find out what people want related to your keywords. It allows you to search for goals documented by their users.
For instance, let’s go to the Niche Generator and pick a random niche theme (select Ideas > Niche Generator from the toolbar). I just did that, and got Jacuzzi Hot Tubs.
Let’s look what people want related to jacuzzi hot tubs. I’m selecting the words Jacuzzi Hot Tubs, then dragging and dropping them into the toolbar’s search box. Now I’m selecting Ideas> 43 Things (Goals).
If you used the 43 Things tool from the toolbar before, you’ll notice that it works slightly differently now. It doesn’t redirect you to the 43 Things website. It now gets the goals list from the source and displays it on our website instead. This allowed us to link each goal right to the Keyword Research Tool, so that we could analize the goal phrase with one click.
Here are some examples of what I got for ‘jacuzzi hot tubs’:
