I figured it’s been 2 days and I feel like updating the blog so I might as well update it about the niche site experiment.

One website I established 10 days ago now is rankedon page 3 of Google for it’s term. It took 6 days to be indexed and I’ve developped 3 pages for it and it has 2 link sources but many more to be indexed in the following week I suspect. Around 50ish links already indexed so fair enough. My competition on that term is fairly limited and 2 of the top 10 sites only have inlinks.

Also bought a website yesterday for a term with over 100K searches and almost no competition on google, waiting for it to be indexed and already creating content for the site. Also started posting on relevant forums hoping for traffic and link love. So far from that other niche site I’ve had about 50 people visit and today was my first visitor from a search term and someone who I think was checking out my sites stats O.o .

So it’s going slow, but again I’m just getting into this online niche.

Yep, I’m not the first to try it but I’m interested in niche sites. I’ll be updating this blog with whats happening with my site(s) and how well they’re doing so I can help anyone else interested in getting into niche sites.

Created a site today on blogger in a niche market about computers. Over 10000 searches a month according to adwords. Comp. on Google is about 3 million and of the top 10 sites, few have links to those specific pages and low PR or none at all.

Using CJ as my revenue source. Found the niche in 1 hour, worked on website configuration for 40 mins and content for 2 hours for a total of 3 hours and 40 minutes so far. No banner to be designed and hopefully soon to find a new blogger template.

The niche site has the keyword as the domain name but few of my competitors do.

Tomorrow I start to build links, the worst part about niche sites. No spam and no purchased links, just relevant comments on relevant blogs which, hopefully, are accepted and dofollowed. Will be submitting a sitemap to google and will be adding statcounter code.

How do you find a niche market?

Honestly one of the hardest things to do. But here are some tips that will greatly improve your chances of finding your market.

1. Watch the discovery channel, especially when they feature niche shows like this one about logging.
2. http://www.vretoolbar.com/nichegenerator/
3. Random word generators
4. Affiliate websites, look at their featured products.
5. Objects around you.
6. Sub-objects around you. I see my skates, then I think of how blades are sharpened, then the machines that do that.
7. Commercials.
8. Google Trends.

So there you have it, good luck.
