Niche research and selection is probably the most important factor in your Adsense success. Back when I started pursuing Adsense as an added income stream, my niche selection was poor.
Currently those sites still manage to pull in some earnings daily but i/you/we can do a lot more with less effort if you pick your niches carefully and with a certain goal in mind ( make more by doing less).
As mentioned in the previous post, there’s 2 schools of thought when it comes to finding good Adsense niches (find high-paying-niches with low competition or just pick common household terms)
There are some niches that I recommend against going into and this non-recommendation is based upon my personal experiences, what I’ve read on other blogs, and from the truly successful Adsense people I know.
Avoid tech-related niches because that audience is web-savvy and more apt to be banner-blind therefore Adsense Ads-blind. However, I have a tech-related site running on complete autopilot and it makes close to $1.00 a day with automated content but the click payouts are very low…
Avoid the internet marketing niche for Adsense as well, as this niche doesn’t really do well for same reason as the tech niches don’t; banner blindness and besides, with the IM niche, you want to build your list not send people elsewhere.
What you want to do is find some niches that are paying out over $1.00/click for Adsense clicks and the way I do that is to use Google’s Keyword Tool to ascertain what the CPC (cost per click ) is for their PPC advertisers.
IF the PPC-ers are going to have to pay 3-5 dollars per click, then it’s somewhat safe to assume that you MIGHT be getting some $1.00 Adsense clicks on your site if you have content and titles targeting those keywords, and other related terms as well. In other words, write for those higher-paying terms but also include some other ralted keywords on the site content articles, posts, pages etc…
Now, a lot of people will tell you to find the high-paying niches with little to NO competition and you’ll be spending a long time shooting in the dark before you happen to find that perfect, undiscovered niche like that.
In my opinion, and experience you can level the SEO competition and playing field by getting a great keyword-rich domain name since that’s one of the most important SEO elements on a site…
With a great domain name you can get ranked pretty well for the keywords you’re targeting, over time, but it will be a lot easier if your domain name has some of your main keywords in there.
Summary:
Finding a good Adsense niche means finding niches with high-cost CPC keywords, then finding good domain names that will help you level the SEO competition.
Then you need to write content that targets those terms and terms related to them so the content seems more relevant to the site topic overall and so it’s doesn’t appear as if you’re making a blatant effort to optimize a piece of site content for just one particular keyword of phrase….
