So, what exactly is Micro Niche Finder and why should be it be in your marketing arsenal? The following is a review that will answer all those questions and more, including all the benefits you gain for your online business. To start with, Micro Niche Finder is a software product that allows you to not only research keywords, but also allows you to comprehensively analyze your promotional efforts.
It was created and launched by James Jones. The software's name says it all - it's a smart way to easily find profitable niche markets that would normally be hard to discover. If you have had previous experience working as an Internet marketer and/or you know how a SEO works, then you understand the importance of keyword research. Every Internet marketer understand that you need to spend significant time researching your target market and you need to keep looking for new markets that haven't been tapped yet.
Another beneficial feature of Micro Niche Finder is that it makes it simple to begin and manage a search engine optimization campaign, saving the many hours that would be required to research by hand. They made this possible with a software program that contains incredible features which are simplistic yet play a significant role in determining how you should go about it. The SOC index that is provided with the program is what gives you the most help with your work. So what is this magic SOC and what does it have to do with your campaign?
For future reference, SOC represents the "strength of competition" for certain keywords. This value or indicator is quickly calculated with the use of multiple factors taken into consideration. The accuracy of this data is quite reliable, and will help you make informed decisions. SOC is color coded with green, orange and red signals that you will receive about just how competitive any particular keyword is. Time is of the essence for most people when doing SEO, which places this aspect as incredibly beneficial.
Finally, let me point out that Micro Niche Finder has a commodity rarely found today, a first-rate support team. In fact, you can contact the creator of the system, James, if you have any difficulties with the software. Micro Niche Finder has a well-organized support system working for you and responding to your queries and problems within 24 hours.
I'm sure this comes as a big relief for anyone who has ever tried to get in touch with a software company after buying and opening the software. All in all, I have found Micro Niche Finder to be a thorough and effective software tool that helps research and locate niche markets, and on top of all that, it has a money-back guarantee and provides free lifetime updates.

How to Create Multiple Niche Websites Fast!
If you ever had the experience of creating your own websites and trying to monetize from it with Google AdSense, you will definitely agree that the most profitable websites to generate would be niche websites. Especially MULTIPLE niche websites.
Why create specific niche websites?
The reason is pretty simple: anyone with essential webmaster skills can easily create websites with non targeted content and possibly slap it with AdSense codes and leave it to Google to put up whatever advertisements it deems relevant for your websites. And in case you're not aware, not all Google AdSense advertisements pay the same amount of ad cost to the webmaster.
Surprised? You shouldn't be. It's typical common sense. This happens likewise in real world advertising as well. Depending on the niche you are advertising for, some advertisements would earn you more cash than some others.
Since that's the case, doesn't it make sense to focus your efforts on creating specific niche websites that's guaranteed to bring in the cash cow? Well, that's one school of thought. Sure, webmasters can exercise this option and focus their efforts to create these specific niche websites and by doing so, do their own research, or pay a ghost writer to create web content for such specific niches. The end cost will vary depending on your network and outsourcing skills. And not to mention the amount of time involved in researching for these specific niches.
Another option would be to create as many (that's right) websites as possible across various niches. This would include evergreen popular niches, right up to professional niches (for example, those related to finance matters) and covering mundane niches as well.
You maybe wondering why this should even be considered a possible option in the first instance. The reason is because rather than focusing all your effort and putting all your eggs into one basket in the chase of the ideal specific niche areas, it maybe more worthwhile to cast a wider net across a variety of niches and in the process of doing so, achieve two potential outcomes:
a) Discovering more hidden niches; and,
b) Collecting all the little dollars and cents which will greatly add up to your website monetization efforts.
Get the idea so far?
But here comes the next obstacle: how on earth would it be possible to invest such an amount of time to create these multiple niche websites? Even then, won't it cost a financial blow to your pockets to pay someone else to write all the relevant content for these niche websites? These are real concerns that anyone (yes, not just professional webmasters, but even any internet marketer who is reading this right now and know the value of such undertaking) should consider and can easily incur a great deal of financial and time investment.
My solution? Find out from the resource box.

Why behavioural targeting is not the be all and end all
With many high-profile cases of behavioural targeting going awry, too many digital advertisers are seeing behavioural targeting as the be all and end all of their campaigns.
As the latest IPA Bellweather figures have shown, ad spend continues to increase but as digital marketing leads the way to recovery, there has been a lot of talk in the industry recently on the effectiveness of behavioural targeting.
While many of the industry champion it, many consumers are still inherently suspicious of the notion of behavioural targeting and the tracking technologies implicit within this process.
Whilst behavioural targeting can of course be very engaging when executed well, behavioural and contextual ad serving software has not actually solved the problem of ‘relevance’ on a regular enough basis. Consumer reticence arises when irrelevant or seemingly intrusive adverts are served to a user based on a mistaken judgement of a consumer’s online preferences.
Take the recent example of Marks and Spencer advertising champagne to a nine year old girl on a children’s’ games website after her mother had bought wine online. This type of mis-targeting can do more damage than good to a brand’s reputation.
Despite what some highly vocal advertisers seem to believe, behavioural targeting is not the solution to every online advertising problem. Independent YouGov Research has shown that targeted adverts on niche websites are much more likely to receive a better response rate than adverts on generic websites, portals and search engines – regardless of whether the adverts on the major sites are adjusted for behavioural targeting.
The reason for this is simple; consumers become attached and are much more engaged with niche websites dedicated to their specialist interests. Users are more trusting of these sites and continue to visit the same sites over and again because they find them relevant, useful and enjoyable.
Relevant products advertised on these specialist sites are seen as having the endorsement of the niche sites themselves and the adverts are thus much more effective and likely to garner real results.
Despite this fact that the majority of engaged web use takes place on niche websites, the majority of online ad spend is still focused on the top percent of web sites with the highest reach – so the likes of Yahoo, MSN and Facebook to name a few.
Too often online ad campaigns are viewed in terms of numbers rather than in the context of wider marketing goals – the classic case of reach over relevance. This has contributed to high profile examples of misplacement and misjudgement with brands wasting huge ad spend on less effective campaigns.
The lesson is clear: brands need to be aware that behavioural targeting is not enough. Ads need to be intelligently matched with niche content, reaching a genuinely responsive market segment, likely to elict genuine interest and the desire to purchase a product.

Tips to Create an AdSense Niche Website
Talking about AdSense is fine... but earning money by working AdSense is better ;-)
And in order to earn money, you have to create a website.
I think that the best way to create a website is by using Joomla or php.Nuke. The advantage of these scripts is that they allow you to create an interactive site, a membership site, a community, a forum, etc. but it would be too difficult to use these scripts for the Internet marketer newbie ; so we will talk through creating your new website with a simple .html or .php template.
First of all, be organized: create a file in your computer called "weight loss" and add sub-files where you will store your files: images, articles, etc. This way you will find your documents when you will need some of them.
Select the subject of your niche site. It is recommended to focus on a subject that you know very well: a hobby or a passion. Choose the name of your new website - which will be also become your domain name. For example, if you plan to create a site dedicated to weight loss, choose a name like "weight loss guide" or something related.
Once you have your new site and domain name, select a template, some pictures, a header... in order to personalize your site.
As soon as you will have uploaded these files - template, images, header - write your first article which will be an introduction to your site. Introduce yourself, talk about your passion and inform your potential visitors that your site will be regularly updated.
Create a blog dedicated to your website. Each time you will add an article to your niche site, you will also post a description on your blog, include a link to the new article and ping your post.
Now that you have content on your site, you may add your AdSense blocks.
Here are some tips to maximise your AdSense earnings:
* Do not use the AdSense 486x60 sized ad as it is generally ignored.
* Embed your AdSense codes IN your content area (for example, let it float on the right or on the left of your text).
* Preferably use AdSense 300x250 or 250x250 sized ads.
* Use colors that match with your site or simply use black AdSense ads (they must not look as a simple block of ads).
* If you have written a very large article, put up to three AdSense blocks on your page.
* Check your page title and meta description in order to have relevant AdSense ads on your page.
* Change your page title to reflect exactly your page's subject.
* Track the number of clicks on your Google AdSense blocks and change their design if necessary.

How to Find a PROFITABLE Niche Market For Your Internet Home Business As an Affiliate Marketer!
Finding a profitable niche market for your internet marketing home business is probably the most important step you will take in starting your business. This will be your most important task as an affiliate marketer. If you fail to get this part right then nothing else really matters.
The whole concept of affiliate marketing is to act as a middle man between the merchant and the customer. This gives you a very unique perspective in not only understanding the operation of the merchant's business, but also the needs of the customers. Although your ultimate goal is to make money from your efforts as an affiliate marketer.
Your job as an affiliate marketer is to find a group of people who have a problem and help them find a solution to that problem. That is, "find a hungry crowd" and make them an offer they can't resist. What you have to learn here is how to identify niche markets and determine the potential of that market in terms of profitability.
You will need to brainstorm here to identify topics that you are probably already interested in.
For example this could be:
Music -> Country -> 70's Classics -> and...
Sports -> Baseball -> Pitching Techniques -> and...
Cooking -> Vegetarian -> Barbecue Style -> and...
Computer -> Web Design -> Graphics -> and...
The idea here is to choose a general market at first, but to find a profitable niche within that market you will have to narrow down your search to a small part of the general market... this is where your market research comes in.
If you choose a market that is too broad, you might have difficulty competing to make sales. A broad market also limits the ideas that you can come up with. This is why it is important to look for a niche or a small part of the general market.
Now, the easiest way to start your research is to use the search engines, like Google and Yahoo. These are all free and will provide you with many possibilities.
As a new affiliate marketer it is best to access as much free resources as possible, until you start making money from your marketing efforts... then you can invest a part of your income in more effective tools and resources.
You can also fine-tune your research by:
. Using Overture or Wordtracker...
. Visiting related forums to see what problems people are having, (excellent source)...
. Visit Amazon or Ebay and search within their database to get more ideas, etc.
After you've identified a niche that you would like to target, you will then need to find out the potential of that niche in terms of profitability. You're in business to make money, so you need to do some research here to find out if you will be able to make money within that niche.
Probably the quickest and easiest way to find out this information is to visit Clickbank. The information you need here is to see if there are products already in that market, if sales are being made and the potential profitability of that product.
You will need to check out the products to see if there are affiliates making money from these products and, if you will be able to market these products in your niche to make money. These research will take some time, but you need to do it to avoid wasting your time when it comes to your marketing later on.

The whole concept of affiliate marketing is to act as a middle man between the merchant and the customer. This gives you a very unique perspective in not only understanding the operation of the merchant's business, but also the needs of the customers. Although your ultimate goal is to make money from your efforts as an affiliate marketer.
Your job as an affiliate marketer is to find a group of people who have a problem and help them find a solution to that problem. That is, "find a hungry crowd" and make them an offer they can't resist. What you have to learn here is how to identify niche markets and determine the potential of that market in terms of profitability.
You will need to brainstorm here to identify topics that you are probably already interested in.
For example this could be:
Music -> Country -> 70's Classics -> and...
Sports -> Baseball -> Pitching Techniques -> and...
Cooking -> Vegetarian -> Barbecue Style -> and...
Computer -> Web Design -> Graphics -> and...
The idea here is to choose a general market at first, but to find a profitable niche within that market you will have to narrow down your search to a small part of the general market... this is where your market research comes in.
If you choose a market that is too broad, you might have difficulty competing to make sales. A broad market also limits the ideas that you can come up with. This is why it is important to look for a niche or a small part of the general market.
Now, the easiest way to start your research is to use the search engines, like Google and Yahoo. These are all free and will provide you with many possibilities.
As a new affiliate marketer it is best to access as much free resources as possible, until you start making money from your marketing efforts... then you can invest a part of your income in more effective tools and resources.
You can also fine-tune your research by:
. Using Overture or Wordtracker...
. Visiting related forums to see what problems people are having, (excellent source)...
. Visit Amazon or Ebay and search within their database to get more ideas, etc.
After you've identified a niche that you would like to target, you will then need to find out the potential of that niche in terms of profitability. You're in business to make money, so you need to do some research here to find out if you will be able to make money within that niche.

These research will take some time, but you need to do it to avoid wasting your time when it comes to your marketing later on.

How to Easily Discover Profitable Website Niches Without Giving Yourself a Headache
Are you looking for website niches that you can delve into but don't know where to start? The answer is very simple. But let's start off with what website niches are and how to easily find them.
Just about every website serves a niche in the online market place. A niche is simply a specialized product or service within a market. For instance, organic parrot food or diabetic dog food are niches within the pet food market. They are specialty products that may not make much money in the local pet store but have the potential to make a lot of money on websites that serve these niches.
When considering website niches, it is important to choose one that has market potential but is not highly competitive like internet marketing or work at home unless you want to compete with the big boys. Ideally, you want to find a situation where people are looking online for something and not getting very many good results. This would be considered a moderate to low competition niche.
If you head on over to ClickBank and select the marketplace link you will see a list on the left of various markets. Click on one that interests you. A list will display various website niches that are being served with downloadable information products. Here you can get plenty of ideas.
While you are browsing through their market place, you may be asking yourself, How do I know which ones are making money. It's very simple. If you look where it says Grav., you'll see a number. The higher the number the better that product sells. Keep in mind that you want some competition as it shows there is money to be made in that niche.
Next you want to select a few niches and do a Google inquiry. All you need is the Google search term tool. Type in the topics of the website niches you selected into the Google search term tool. Google will give you a list of keyword phrases people use related to that topic and how many times those words were used. They will also tell you how competitive that phrase is. Your task is to find website niches that have low to medium competition and a reasonable amount of traffic. You stand a better chance of success sooner this way.
It is best to select niches that you also have an interest in. While you can brainstorm, consider what specialized knowledge you have, or just keep a look-out for a hot new niche, spend sometime at ClickBank first. There you can see first hand the various website niches that are being served on the net and how they are doing.

Profitable Niches - Identifying the Most Important Human Needs Will Help You Find Lucrative Niches
To Make Money Online You Need to Target Human Desires
Targeting lucrative niches that have not had every last cent sucked out of them is not only difficult but also very time consuming. Many an online entrepreneur has wasted a considerable amount of time targeting a niche that originally looked to be a good bet with seemingly strong demand and so on, only to find out after lots of networking and marketing that it was really a non-starter from the beginning.
So it is of vital importance to really understand the most important human needs before investing time & resources in a niche that may not prove to be that profitable. If you are targeting things that you think will sell, when they are actually things that people couldn't really be bothered with, your internet endeavors will be still born.
On the other hand if you are providing services & products that hit the human needs' sweet spot, you will be onto a good money maker.
So What Do People Want In Their Lives?
Well there are really only 3 things that people strive for and only a few get to achieve all three of them.
They are;
1. Time
2. Money
3. Health
In other words everyone is trying to spend less time making as much money as possible whilst maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Many people achieve the first 2 but let the third one suffer - just look at how many high powered wealthy executives have bad hearts and really look out of shape. Also a lot of really healthy people, such as personal trainers or professional athletes, have their health but maybe not so much of the wealth - except for the Michael Johnsons & Lance Armstrongs of this world.
So achieving all three of these needs is a difficult act to achieve, but as internet marketer you should be trying to attend to these needs with your products and services.
Target the Greatest Desires That People Have
Finding profitable niches should therefore include targeting everyone's desires & needs and be specific enough to hit your prospect's sweet spot.
If you can get this strategy right and do it often enough, you could be onto a real money maker.
Targeting Needs and Niches. Identifying people's needs is one thing but it might be too broad to be viable in terms of a money making strategy.
It is therefore useful to narrow things down a bit into smaller niches and once you have found a profitable niche that has a strong demand and that is less exploited than the common ones, you will really be onto a winner.

5 Money Making Niches For 2010 and How You Can Get the Edge
Doing extensive research into what is happening in the world of online marketing has led to 5 main areas that are displaying rapid growth and these are:
1. Education
2. Health & Wellness
3. Booze
4. Local, local, local
5. Pets
People ask the question "is there any niches that are too saturated" and that is a very good question. If you do your research thoroughly and you find that questions relating to a particular niche are continuing to crop up often in various forums or search engines, then you have your answer right there.
The next question you may ask is "should I go wide or deep into the niche"? Going deep would be something like taking a niche market and targeting it towards a particular group of society, for example 'Health & Nutrition for older people' and that would be called going deep in one market.
Going wide would mean doing a little bit in Booze, a little bit in Pets, a little bit in Education and so on.
3 main benefits of Niche Marketing
· Much less competition - you can own and dominate a particular niche subject
· Subject expert - owning a niche means you become that person that everyone goes to for their solutions. More people will seek you out rather than your competitors
· Faster results - it doesn't take long to rank well for niche related keywords
If you specialise in one particular area, it doesn't take long at all to rank really well with the search engines.
Finding a niche and how you can get the edge
Go into discussion forums and find out what the top questions are - note how many replies there are to each question, note how many times each question has been viewed. Focus also on the answers that other people are providing to the questions. One idea from there is that you do extensive research and create an eBook that in turn answers all the questions that people are asking. I must emphasise at this point that you should never plagiarise anyone else's efforts. The content of the book must be in your own words and based on your research findings. The first step is being able to build a product that people are willing to pay for and that answers their question.
How can I find forums to do research on?
If you go to big-board.com you will find there a directory of message boards that tell you how many posts each forum has and how many members, the more posts, the more active, the more people there are, the more answers you can get to questions relating to your particular niche.
Big-board does not necessarily list all the forums that are out there so what you could also do is go to Google and search for 'your keyword forum', for example 'Honda car forum' and put this in quotes. This will provide a ton more message forums within your niche. You don't want to get involved with a forum that has only a few posts and even less members as this will get you nowhere. Another great source of niches is called 'Top Site' and one in particular is called Squidoo. Given that there are thousands of people on Squidoo daily, being ranked in the Top 100 is a big deal.
Another great source of information is hubpages.com and every day they have what is known as Featured Hub. Hubs are just very simple web pages that people have made that explain how to do something or something they recommend, things like that. Like Squidoo, you can search hub pages by category. There's nothing about hub pages that appears to rate one more highly than the others, the top one changes every day so if you see one that is of interest, make a note because it will soon be gone.

Niche Websites - Content, What Content?
What's In A Niche? When talking of niche websites, the answer to that question is, in my humble opinion, not very much at all in most cases. Certainly much less than should be in a niche. Is it just me - are my expectations too high? I don't think so because I have seen some good niche websites as well as many horrors. A real niche website that has been built with care and passion is a thing of beauty (or, at the very least, interest) and is usually a treasure trove for visitors who share a love of the niche subject.
What I am complaining about are the so-called niche websites people are throwing together for the sole purpose of collecting advertising revenue. These sites have little (if anything) in the way of content. The colourful pictures and plentiful advertisements do not make up for this lack. Advertising is fine, in fact it's usually essential if you want to stay in business. What makes me see red is clicking on misleading advertisements and landing on website after cloned website only to be confronted with a few sentences of poorly written text and dozens of gibbering advertisements. To test the integrity of a niche site, look at what would be left if you removed all the pay per click advertisements.
It is unfortunate for people who are surfing for information that the Internet is being overrun by the awful flimsy looking template produced websites that are being churned out at a crazy rate. If you spend any time on the Internet, you will know the type of thing I mean. These websites consist of a couple of pages with nice enough looking header graphics (that's the pictures at the top, if you are not "in the trade" so to speak), and clumps of advertisements placed so that they are the first thing you see. If you manage to get past the advertisements, you might find a few articles which have been copied from other websites just for the sake of having something on the pages to lend them some credibility. These websites don't exist to provide information or services or to promote anything. Their sole purpose is to carry advertising that will earn the owner money in return for just about zero work on his part.
How much time and effort goes into creating one of these monstrosities? Practically none: in most cases it is all done by a software package. The pseudo webmaster doesn't ever need to worry about actual webpage design or building. All these charlatans need to do is decide upon their niche topic, toss a bunch of keywords into the mix and the software will do the rest. These people can create their pseudo niche websites on any subject anyone in the world might think of. It's easy because they don't need to know anything about the subject themselves. Whether it is dog training, bridal dresses, funerals or haemorrhoids, an online search tool will provide a list of keywords and the software will do the rest. Nobody cares that the laughing man clutching a fistful of cash or the sports car pictured in the heading has no relevance to the content and would be frankly inappropriate if you were looking for a funeral director or medication for a painful medical condition. The webmaster has no intention of offering you anything of value. In fact, it is in his interests if you take an immediate dislike to his web page because that makes you more likely to click away from it via one of his advertising links and that's how he makes his money.
After a couple of days of trying to do some semi-serious research on the Internet, I feel like unplugging my pc and dusting off my library tickets. Ok - so you can't judge a book by its cover but the cover doesn't usually set out to deliberately mislead you as to the contents (quite the opposite in fact). When I type a query into a search engine, I want the results to lead me to websites containing the answer to that query. If I am searching for information about a particular subject, I don't appreciate being directed to websites that consist of a few keyword loaded sentences walled in by blocks of advertisements for other similar websites.
Roll on the day when someone invents a search engine that can distinguish between a real niche website and an advertising vehicle built from a cheap kit. Maybe we can get back to the time when searching the Internet was faster than catching a bus to the library and thumbing through books.

Building Niche Websites
Why is it that some people are able to build niche websites that generate a ton of cash while the rest of us settle for the scraps? What do they know that we mere mortals do not?
Well the reality is that there are no hidden secrets to niche marketing. It's just that the gurus know how to cash in on these niche products the way the rest of us don't. So what is it that they really know that we may learn from?
Firstly, they have plenty of knowledge about the art of niche marketing. They seek knowledge and the internet is full of knowledge on a multitude of subjects. There are heaps of free products available but most marketers just can't make a decision on what to market because of information overload. Consequently, the business goes nowhere and the money fails to flow.
So, take time out and think of what popular niches there are that you can sell products in and take action to generate some cash through a bit of hard work. If you put in the effort, it will eventually be rewarded.
Also, niche marketing gurus often outsource their work to a team of artists, writers, designers and so forth. Of course, you may not be able to do this because of the financial outlay. If this is the case then you need to learn how to do it yourself. There are many e-books available to help you.
While you are starting out and doing everything manually, you should gradually learn how to automate these things. If you do that, you may end up with hundreds of little niche websites all running automatically and generating income without much effort. It can be done and it is being done every day. People are making literally thousands of dollars simply by niche marketing.
As you can see, the more niche sites you create, the more money you will make. If you can make five to ten new niche sites a month, you will be reaping the benefits in a big way about six months down the track.
So to recap, start manual but look at putting all of the chores on autopilot. Whatever you can do through a program, you can automate. Try to find someone else to come into it with you so that the work load is divided.
The gurus make it big because they hire employees or partners and they use automation to churn out their websites and generate income. They plan their websites and are willing to put in the hard work. If they can do it so can you.

Niche Websites and Search Engine Ranking Optimization
One Page, One Subject.
Building a new website and looking for a good search engine results ranking is getting to be a major challenge, now that most subjects you can possibly think of are covered by a variety of pages. All the major subjects such as travel, sport, news and sales are covered by millions of web pages. This means that getting top search ranking is really difficult to achieve, and hence the growth in SEO services as authors battle it out for top spot on those all important Google results pages.
Even when your subject matter is a little off the beaten track, you've probably found you're locked in a search results battle with all sorts of other sites and related topics. This is where the niche window starts to open, when you see other results coming up next to yours that are not offering quite the same service or information that you are. There's really no need to be in competition with these sites.
As the web develops and expands, the chances are steadily increasing that a user searching and finding a site will find one where the content is an exact match with their interest. For web authors this means one thing, its no longer sufficient to produce one page covering multiple topics - you need to split up your content.
Doing this is simple enough. Read through your own content and split it up into the different topics or aspects that you cover. Now filter these sections of the information onto different pages, each keyworded to their own niche. Of course you should take care to have a home page that retains the address of your existing one, so that you don't lose that hard won place in Google's index.
The smaller the niche, the higher the rank.
Lets imagine you had a site about shopping bags. You could cover size, strength and design of bags on different pages. This way, someone searching for shopping bag strength can find a page right on topic, and Google will rank it very highly for relevance.
The more comprehensively a subject is covered on the web, the smaller niche you need to target. This provides an opportunity to create a high ranking page even on a subject as comprehensively covered as a pro sport, provided you're covering information on a small enough niche. Maybe just the history of shirt designs for a particular football team, or the length of downhill courses at different winter Olympics locations.
Don't contaminate your content.
A friend of mine built a web site to sell his rental apartment in Cyprus. On his front page he also included a short list of places where you can buy flights to the island. He thought that by doing this his page might come up when people searched for flights, but of course there's no possible chance he could rank ahead of all the airlines and travel companies, so in practice all he'd achieved was to reduce the relevancy of his site to the core subject of rental apartments in Cyprus. Of course his customers may well want flight advice and he should provide that, but it must be on a separate page.
The point you need to remember is that however tempted you might be, don't try to cover a second subject on the same page, because this will reduce the relevancy of the page when someone searches on your core content.
Let Google do their job
Remember what Google's job is - to bring the best information to the top of the results page. Of course we can spend a lot of time trying to work out what Google's definition of 'best' is, but you don't need to worry about that. For a niche site the definition of best is what you and your readers think it should be. Its down to Google to develop their rules to bring your site to its rightful place in their search rankings, and we all know they're constantly changing their rules to try and achieve this. There's one simple rule that will hold good through all the rule variations, a site dedicated to the subject a web user searches for will always be rated better than a site covering a wide range of information.
You can use this knowledge to create successful new websites. A page can cover the smallest imaginable subject width and still be a success, so if you have knowledge on a narrow subject, and one that could be of interest to other people, this could be an ideal subject for a website. Given this size of the web and the number of users, what subject could there be that isn't of interest to anyone?
Of course the first test you should always do with a new web project is to do a trial search before you write a single word, and see how well covered the subject is already. The more coverage a subject already has, the smaller niche you'll need to target.
My most successful websites have been created in response to failed searches for quality information, times when I can't find what I want on the web. I've then gathered the information I want for myself, by researching around the web, libraries and friends for bits of information, done my own trial and error research and assembled all these results into a brand new body of knowledge. All that's left is to write it up the article.
Your readers will help you develop your site
Website content development only really starts in earnest once you've got a new site moving up the rankings on a niche topic and developing a readership. Make sure your contact details are easy to find because readers tend to get in touch with additional information and questions. This helps you build the content and make sure you're targeting the information people want.

Niche Finder -The 3 Crucial Characteristics of a Profitable Niche
Do you find it hard to make money from your online niche marketing efforts? Would you like to know how to become an expert niche finder? There are three essential elements to look for in a niche? When you find all three you know you've got a money making niche on your hands!
So with that said, there are three critical characteristics to look for in a niche as part of your potential profitability evaluation.
Characteristic One
Do the people in the niche have a desperate need for the product or service you are promoting? It's not about whether or not they will like your product, or whether they will want it either. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to identify a group of people with a desperate need. If they are desperate for a solution to a problem they are more likely to spend their last dollar on your product if it provides what they need. For example someone who is deep in debt and desperate to borrow money, or is desperate to save a relationship are great examples of desperate people.
So the expert niche finder golden rule number one is to identify a desperate market!
Characteristic Two
Do the people with the desperate need have any money to spend? There is no point marketing a product if your target market can't afford the product you are promoting! For example, someone who is desperate to borrow money won't have the cash to spend on a product that tells them how to make money or how to get a loan. They may be desperate, but they need a free solution. That said, if you are promoting a payday loan product to those people you may well have a lot of success, but promoting a product they have to pay for won't get you very far. Obviously the more money people in your target market have the better. As an example, people desperate to make a lot of money in the forex market typically have a lot of money to spend or speculate with.
So the expert niche finder golden rule number two is to ensure that the people in your desperate market have the cash to pay for it!
Characteristic Three
How many people are there in the niche actually searching for the solution your product offers? Marketing is a numbers game. The more people there are searching in your niche, the money there is to be had. If your target niche only has a few people searching online each month for your product, you're not going to convert many in to sales. You therefore need to do some keyword research on your niche to see how many people are entering "buying" keywords each month. A niche may get a lot of traffic, but if that traffic is people simply searching for free information on a hobby or interest, they're not going to make you any money. The keyword phrases that people type in must show that they are looking for a solution that they need so badly they'll part with cash for it!
So the expert niche finder golden rule number three is to ensure there are enough buyers searching for your solution in the niche to make it worth your time promoting!
Once you have identified a niche that meets all three criteria, you need to do your keyword research thoroughly and optimise your marketing around the common "buyer" keywords. Even in the most competitive niches there are some uncompetitive keywords to target, and the traffic they draw will convert well!

Find the Right Niche For Your Website
Today, pretty much anyone with a computer and a decent internet connection can start their own website. As the creator of your new site, the challenge is finding a niche that will work. It sounds very simple, but this is where most people run into big problems - so do not stop reading yet! Choosing the right niche is not as easy as it seems. Maybe you have way too many ideas, or maybe you just do not have enough. The goal of any website is to attract visitors - therefore finding the right niche is absolutely essential when you want to build a successful website.
The key is to find something that you like; a niche that interests you. Really take the time to think about what topics you are passionate about. Sometimes it may help if you write a list and then individually research each idea online. Seeing what competitors' websites in each niche are like is often very useful. Also, you can compare what they are providing to gather ideas for your website. Sometimes, it is good to know in advance what you will be up against! As you research each niche, gradually narrow down your list of topics.
When you have reduced your idea list to 1 niche - the best one - continue to research it. The niche you chose must be one that you feel confident about. You must feel certain that you will be able to produce around 40 pages on your chosen topic. While you are researching, think about possible sub-categories, but always remember to keep your niche narrow. With time you will find that this helps your search engine ranking and, in turn, will make you more money.
When you are conducting your research, you may be surprised to discover that your niche does not have as high a demand as other topics. Do not let this discourage you. If you decide upon a niche that will bring your website a lot of visitors but does not interest you, it will show in your content and you may lose visitors. It is always best to choose a niche that you will be able to produce quality material about. Always remember that at the end of the day, this new website is YOURS. You have the power to decide which direction it goes in, what niche it falls into, what the content will be. Pick a niche that you love so that you can create a website that you will be proud of.

How to Find Niche Website Ideas
Knowing how to find niche website ideas is one of the keys to affiliate marketing success. Many affiliate marketers who are just starting out, choose to focus their efforts on broad categories, such as clothes, jewelry or money making products, this can be a costly mistake.
However, there is so much competition in these broad categories that it is easy for your efforts to get lost. Further, when potential customers do internet searches for broad terms like these, they are usually in the very beginning stages of their buying cycles. You want to put your niche website in front of them when they are close to making a purchase.
People usually do lots of research on products before they buy, narrowing down their search words each time to be more and more specific, until they find exactly what they want. You want to catch people at the end of the buying cycle, once they know what they want and are ready to purchase it.
The more specific you can get with your market focus, the better chance you'll have of attracting buyers. So, instead of focusing on "wedding dresses," focus on a very narrow market, like "maternity wedding dresses" or "spring wedding dresses." It will be easier for your marketing efforts to stand out when you use niches like these, and your chances of making a sale will be much higher.
It is also best if you know how to get niche ideas for products that have a lot of hungry buyers. In fact, the more desperate the buyers, the better your chances will be of selling to them. Finding hot niche markets with ready buyers isn't difficult. All it takes is some basic research and this is research that isn't going to cost you a dime, just pop along to your local library or bookstore.
Firstly scan the headlines of magazines, and here do not just look at the general men's and women's magazines but also at those about hobbies, leisure activities, etc and spread your net as wide as possible. Look to see what themes develop among the article titles. Chances are, these are the topics people are interested in. Then, search the Internet for information about these topics, using narrow search terms. If you get lots of results returned to you, including paid ads, then you have found a niche website idea upon which you can start to build.

Making Money From Content Rich Sites
Making money from a content rich niche marketing website can be very easy, very difficult or impossible. First let’s define and describe what a content rich niche market website is and how it works. You won’t find a list for “Niche Markets” anywhere. There isn’t one.
A person will find niche marketers when he types words into his favorite search engine and hits search. Let’s say he types in “Improving my golf score”. He will get many hits that will provide links that take him to niche marketing sites. On these sites, he will be asked to enter his email address and opt-in to receiving a newsletter. Since he is in need of learning how to improve his golf score, he willingly does that. On the content rich site he will find articles and other information about improving his golf score and advertisements for products and services designed to help him improve his golf score. In the future he will receive a newsletter, about every two weeks usually, and he will have become a niche market customer.
If you are the niche marketer, the opt-in email address supplied is pure gold because you will have a customer or a potential customer. When he buys the products and/or services that you are advertising on your site, you will make money. Having a content rich site enhances the possibility of sales.
The trick to making money from a content rich niche marketing website is to have a topic that helps people solve their problems, makes them feel better or look better, or supplies them with information that they need. You will need to have related products and services advertised on your site since that is where the income actually comes from. The website content is what makes people visit your site again and again. The more content rich it is will determine how often they visit and how long they stay. The longer they stay the more opportunities you have to sell to them.

What You Need To Sell Info Products To Hot Niches
There are a lot of people who would love to be able to create a cool informational product and be able to make a great living (even get rich) while sitting in a comfy chair in front of their computers knowing that never again would they have to drive in rush hour traffic with all those crazies or put up with an unrelenting, over zealous boss who never had and never would or could be pleased. What a beautiful vision! The truth is that that lovely vision can become a reality but you will have to pay your dues first. Successful niche markets for an informational product don’t grow on trees or fall out of the sky.
The first thing you need and must have to create an informational product is an idea…a subject…a topic…that will fill the needs, solve a problems, or just make life better for some particular and very specific segment of the general population. You are surrounded by ideas if you just look. Look at yourself first. What is your biggest problem? Do your friends share the problem? Are you passionate about a hobby or a sport? These kinds of things are the stuff of which informational products are made of. So the very first thing you need is to identify a topic and, thereby, a market.
Another thing that you need to have in order to create an informational product which will become successful is research. Every topic and every subject are not going to make money. Many of them will…but just as many will not. The best research is accomplished by reading and talking to people who have succeeded in niche marketing informational products. Savvy niche marketers can spot a great topic from forty paces with one eye shut. Ask. Read. Research.
When you have an idea and have done the research that has proven that there is a market for your informational product, the rest is just a matter of creating the product building a great website and advertising it.

Niche Marketing vs. Internet Marketing Niche
Comparing niche marketing and an Internet marketing niche is equivalent to comparing apples with oranges. Apples and oranges are both fruit. Niche marketing and an Internet Marketing niche are both forms of Internet marketing but as different as apples are from oranges.
The term ‘niche marketing’ means selling a specific product to a specific type of buyer. There are far less competitive niches than an Internet marketing niche. Most niche markets are more open to the latest marketing strategies, as well. Small niche markets are not over stocked with gurus and wise men and are much easier for the beginning marketer to break into. A niche market allows you to promote your own niche product or that of a niche affiliate product. There is a niche market for anything and everything you can imagine. All it takes to break into a niche market is a good idea, a good product created by you or someone else that will appeal to certain people, some advertising and the desire to succeed.
The Internet marketing niche, on the other hand, means that you will be promoting your own Internet marketing product. This is a very crowded field of endeavor and really difficult to break into. It’s a world filled with gurus and wise men who have been playing and winning the game for a long time. This doesn’t mean that it is impossible to cash in on the Internet marketing niche because, of course, you can. It is a world still built on demand and that means that if you have a product that can compete and if you have the willingness to play hard ball with the big boys then you can succeed at the Internet marketing niche game. Just be aware that there are easier niche market nuts to crack.

How To Choose The Right Website Niche For You
Identifying a profitable niche market is one of the keys to building a successful web site. This article explains a simple brainstorming method, that will help you to find the perfect niche market for your website.
There are 2 main reasons why it is necessary for a website to focus on a niche market to be successful:
1. The majority of the 'broader' markets are already being provided for by well established websites.
2. People who search on 'broader' topics are not very close to making a purchase decision, so the ratio of sales to visits will be very low for websites that focus on 'broader' topics.
To clarify what I mean, imagine that you were considering building a website about holidays. This would be absolutely pointless, because this broad market has long since been saturated by the 'big boys' of the travel industry - each one of which has a much larger marketing budget than you!
However, let's say that since being a kid you have taken a lot of holidays on the Isle of Wight, and you know and love the place - this is a niche market that you could very probably build a successful website about. This is because you can put your own unique spin on it, and also because any visitors will have entered very specific search criteria into the Internet search engines (e.g. holidays in the Isle of Wight), and will therefore be much closer to making a decision to purchase.
What is brainstorming?
Brainstorming is a simple, proven method for generating ideas. It is a very powerful technique that has lots of possible uses - generating ideas for a web site being a particularly good one!
How do I brainstorm a niche market for my website?
1. Find somewhere quiet to sit down with a pen and paper.
2. Make a list of categories of things that you are, or have previously been, involved in/interested in. Typical categories for most people are work, family, hobbies, entertainment, food and drink, holidays, DIY, gardening.
3. Take each category in turn, and simply let your mind wander. Write down everything that comes to mind, and don't try to force it - simply 'let your juices flow'!
4. Take a break, and forget about your brainstorming session for at least 30 minutes.
5. Go through everything that you have written for each category, and cross out anything that just doesn't seem right (i.e. you aren't very interested in it, or you don't know much about it, or it simply doesn't make any sense!). Don't try to be too scientific about this, just trust your intuition!
6. Look through the remaining items on your list, and identify the top 3 (i.e. the ones that you are most interested in, and that you know quite a bit about).
7. Take each one of your top 3 topics in turn, and try to identify between 5 and 15 sub-topics - think of your topic as the title of a book, and the sub-topics as the chapters.
Note: If you are unable to find at least 5 sub-topics, your topic is likely to be too small to be profitable.
If you have managed to identify at least 5 sub-topics for each of your top 3 topics, you have completed your niche marketing brainstorming session, and you are ready to begin designing your web site.
If you haven't managed to do this, return to your list to identify the next best topic(s), and repeat step 7.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BRAINSTORMING SESSION UNTIL YOU HAVE 3 TOPICS, EACH ONE OF WHICH HAS AT LEAST 5 SUB-TOPICS!
