Use a Niche Market for Your Adsense/Overture Ads
Choose a Niche Market for your Adsense ads ?
Oh you ***HAVE TO BE KIDDING ******
A Niche Market ? What's the point in that ?
OK - so you don't believe me - go off and make a Paris Hilton website
(after all there are only 2 million Paris Hilton websites on the net)
You're bound to get up to 1 million or so from the bottom of the list
with your flair and verve aren't you ?)
The Answer is NO ! !
The reason that all the internet Gurus make money -
is that they know something that you don't !
( Every time I think of the Rich Jerk I can just see him in only a
turban and loincloth floating 3 feet above the floor in the Himalayas)
(and why aren't there Heralayas ?)
Shall I tell you - or shall I keep the secret I swore by the skull
and bones society of Adsense Masters to keep until death or at least
three pints of Bishops Finger(It's a BEER !)?
OK here we go for basics .... when people say NICHE MARKETS
The don't really mean NICHE
(as in the crack the mice live in under the wardrobe at the back of
a ruined church)
... what they mean is a LIMITED INTEREST.
Now you have to use a little imagination here - suppose you were
Human
( if you're not then why are you reading this?) just ignore all that
stuff about concentrate on your hobby and everything will flow OK
stuff because that's just trying to put you off the scent. Look at
the websites of the people who are doing really well from Adsense -
here's a hint - they are the people who keep trying to
get you to sign up to their lists and then forever after try to sell
you programs and ebooks that you don't really need.... Just look them
up on the web and take a peek at their websites.
This is what you will find -
Instead of a site on INSURANCE - they'll have a site entirely on
Yacht Insurance
or Yacht Charters of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Instead of a website on Dog Training - they'll have a site on how to
pamper your Great Dane. (are you getting the idea yet ?)
It's not an Outre interest like the Masks of the Allicama Tribe of
Northern Gabon - who except a museum would be interested in that ?
You need THOUSANDS of visitors to each of your websites to make
money.
It is an Interest like F1 Formula Racing in Southern Europe complete
with timetables, ticket sales opportunities, Airline and Hotel
Booking,Travel agents offering packages,
Biographies of Famous Racing Car Driver since the year Dot.
Something that Thousands of happy campers would be interested in and
would find things to ***BUY**** on your website.
Get thee hence to the emporium of messrs eBay and Co -wherein ye
shall find many such minor interests (no I don't mean coal minors !)
Let's go to eBay.co.uk and find a few. What we are looking for is
sections of interests that appeal to several thousand people and who
would regard your new website as a kind of 'club' where they can
discuss their interests and swap bits and pieces with each other (or
sell to each other). They are obviously computer literate or they
wouldn't have got as far as eBay.( I met a 94 year old lady who's
making excellent money on eBay this week !)
OK lets look at eBay All Categories - then Sports Memorabilia as an
example There are listings today for :
Cricket Memorabilia 3942 listings
Football Programmes 66,085
Football Shirts 14,244
Motor Sport Memorabilia 14,002
Wrestling Memorabilia 3532
Football Autographs 11,921
Any of those could be a NICHE website with lots of interested
visitors.
(But not a Chesterfied Football Shirt section with 1 listing !)
Ebay is a great source of ideas and when you get into that way of
thinking then lots more will come to you - when watching tv for
exanple.
Take those as your KEYWORDS and run them through Overture or
Wordtracker to get even more keywords - then look at the bid tool to
find the most profitabe ones.
It really isn't Rocket Science - but it IS quite a lot of work.
Your alternative is to join a subscription service that sends just a
handful of people monthly niche market websites. So few that the
search engines don't count them as duplicate content.Make sure they
don't sell more than 200 copies though . You need to be fairly
exclusive with your content and ALWAYS change PLR articles so that
they are exclusive to you (this means NOT using a fancy change the
text around program)
You'll find hundreds of Niche Markets this way and through things
like Yahoo's or Google's Groups - or just take a wander through the
internet forums and you'll be well on your way to sucess.
Do Not forget that Adsense is only PART of making money on the
Internet.
There are a number of Original Adsense Articles in the Free Resources
part of my website.
