AdSense Niches

Email Marketing - *** to ****Niche

Email marketing is just a nice word for “legal spam”. There are hundreds of thousands of opt-in lists which give list owners a right to send emails in bulk, without fear of being punished.

 But we are not moralists here – email marketing is a great niche that keeps performing very well, despite that fact that this key phrase has been on many keyword lists and there are thousands MFA sites created for it.

 Some of the email marketing key phrases that worked for me include “opt-in email marketing”, “email marketing list”, "bulk email" and “targeted email marketing”.

MBA, MBA School, MBA Program - **** Niche

I think that MBA degrees are grossly overrated and the value of one is at best questionable, but more and more people pursue MBA diplomas, believing that’s their ticket to a six figure salary.

But that’s just me. Back to MBA. I’ve found that MBA schools and MBA programs are the two best niches to pursue. First, they pay very well, second it’s VERY easy to find information on various MBA programs.

Not only most universities provide plenty of information online, there are tons of MBA related resources, such as MBA program ratings, the average salaries for alumni, and so on. Every business magazine thinks it’s a great idea to release their business school ratings once a year.

DSL - **** Niche

I use DSL personally and I’m willing to bet any money, once you try DSL, you are not going back to dial-up. Broadband is the king and DSL and ADSL are the leaders in this niche.

DSL is the most popular option for residential users, because it uses regular phone lines, without tying up the phone. And with a single customer worth $300 to $500 a year to a DSL provider, DSL is a very generous niche indeed.

I’m not sure 100%, but I believe that you can also make some money from the sign-up fees for every customer you refer. You’ll need to check that with your individual DSL provider.

MLS and FSBO - *** Niche

I’ve never seen MLS and FSBO on any high paying keyword lists, but these two acronyms perform very well for me. While the click average isn’t extremely high, the money keeps rolling in because site visitors view multiple ads. Here is why.

MLS stands for multiple listing service and basically, it’s a huge database where realtors list homes that are up for sale. FSBO stands for “for sale by owner”, which means that a house is being sold directly by the owner, so no realtor is involved.

MLS used to be controlled by the realtors, but not any longer. Any person who wants to sell the house without a real estate agent can now pay a flat fee (300 bucks usually) and get listed on MLS.

Server Backup - *** to **** Niche

Server backup is the best server niche for me. The fact is that there are a lot of server based niches other than server backup, but this one used to work wonders for me. Recently, I’ve seen a surge in server backup MFA and traffic arbitrage sites, which always results in decreased earnings.

I’ve did a lot of testing with other server niches and I don’t mind sharing my finding. Email servers are OK, but that’s a “quarter niche” and there isn’t nearly as much money in it. Dedicated server does better, but only if you have a web hosting related site. Linux server, Unix server or any manufacturer + server (HP Server, Dell Server, IBM Server) are nothing to brag about.

Paternity Test, DNA Test, DNA Paternity Test - **** Plus Niche

So, who’s your daddy? That’s what paternity tests are all about. Paternity tests determine who’s the father of a child and this is a question a lot of men and women ask.

Paternity tests are just a form of DNA testing. All you need is to provide a DNA sample of a child and a DNA sample of the father and paternity testing will determine. Most often, all you have to do is to FedEx hair samples to a paternity lab. Although I’ve heard about “home paternity tests”, I am really not sure who these work.

If you enter “paternity test” or “DNA Test”, you’ll see a bunch of ads that offer $99 paternity test special. However, this is just an introductory rate. If you’d like to know your results in less than 5 days – pay up. If you want a court admissible DNA test, that’s $220.

Insomnia, Sleep Disorder - *** Niche

Insomnia and other sleep disorders plague millions of people and are really quite discomforting, especially for people who work and have to get up early every morning. Even though there isn’t any really effective cure for insomnia, other than consuming tons of sleeping pills, alternative treatments for insomnia are being offered on the internet.

Most ads for insomnia that I see on my sites are for sleep apnea, natural insomnia remedies, insomnia medication and depression (supposedly the two are often connected).

There is plenty of information on insomnia, including copyright-free sites, like Wikipedia, so you pick this niche, you certainly won’t have any problem finding information on insomnia causes and treatments.

POS, POS System, POS Software - **** Niche

POS, I love you. POS stands for point of sale and it’s another acronym that keeps cranking out money like crazy with AdSense. There are a number of point of sale (POS) items that you can get online. POS printers, POS barcode readers, laser barcode scanners, POS touch screens and so on and so forth.

However POS software and POS systems are the two niches that in my experience are the best in the POS world (barcode readers and barcode scanners are a close third).

To take advantage of this niche, you should have retail experience and know how stores work, what they need and don’t need. There are a number of POS sub-niches that are waiting to be plundered by experienced AdSensers – credit card readers, cash drawers, touch screen terminals, POS keyboards, receipt printers.

Detox, Opiates Detox, Rehab - **** Niche

I sure hope that none of you checked into a rehab for a detox, but if you had, you’dknow how expensive it is. Let’s face it. In US alone, there are millions of people with various kinds of addictions and many of them seek professional help to overcome their problems.

If you open Yellow Pages in Los Angeles, you’ll be shocked by how many rehabs and detox centers there are in Southern California.

Ok, enough with the bad news. The good news is that detox in general and opiates detox specifically perform very well. With every patient worth several thousand dollars to a clinic, marketers don’t seem to mind paying generously for detox and rehab related keywords.

Mailing Lists And Mailing List Broker - **** Niche

Mailing lists predate internet by at least one hundred years. For years and years mailing lists were the only way to get highly targeted list of prospects for just about any niche. How many mailing lists are there? Get ready to be shocked – there are over 180,000 mailing lists to be bought or rented in US alone.

Mailing list brokers are individuals and companies who help mailing list owners sell or rent their mailing lists to marketers. A good mailing list broker is worth their weight in gold – just ask any experienced direct marketer.

The biggest source of mailing lists is SRDS – Standard Rates And Data Service. If you want a parrot owner mailing list, you can get it there. If you want a mailing list of folks who suffer from schizophrenia, you can get it there.
