ple are  searching for i recommend you change but ideally you are supposed to do this first before writing  okay so let's write an article or make money online in nigeria right so this is a  broad keyword but let me get results so as you can see the location is set in nigeria  so the result is are going to be data coming from nigeria right so as you can see make money online  in nigeria get an upgrade monthly search of 1000 to 10 000 right and then the competition is quite  high which is a red f

lag because if you write an article on this topic you are going to be  competing with a lot more articles right so you want to look for keywords that have high  monthly search at least 1000 and then have low competition right so read news and get paid in  nigeria for free this one has 1 000 to 10 000 monthly search right and the competition is medium  so i could consider writing an article on this right so let me scroll down make money in  nigeria without paying competition is high competition i

s high let me look for okay  medium but here we have just 100 to 1000 avoid monthly searches so i might consider  this because the competition is not high so right here we have websites that pay for viewing  us in nigeria but the trend is going down right the thing is going down so i will not consider  that right so swagbucks in nigeria competition is low but such is not too much so i'll just pick it  as well side that pays for leading news in nigeria competition is medium so i'll just pick all
