CRM Software - ****+ Niche
CRM software is pure gold. I’ve been involved with software and shareware since 2002 and I don’t know too many software niches, like customer relationship management software, that are obscenely profitable with AdSense.
It just happens that I co-own one of the first shareware discounters ever called Deprice.Com (if you need cheap shareware, that’s the place to go). And because we have a searchable database of 15000+ titles, I occasionally stumble upon a niche that brings more profit from AdSense than from affiliate commissions (that’s not typical at all. Actually that’s exceedingly rare).
CRM software is extremely expensive, thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, with big players in this niche, like Siebel Systems and SalesForce. In fact, if you enter ‘crm software’ in Google, salesforce.com will be the first one to come up (I hate their multimedia crap). Siebel Systems (now bought by Orable) is second
Go ahead and see how much they RENT their CRM software for - $995 per 5 users per year. Pretty incredible, ain’t it?
Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of MFA site created for customer relationship management topics, but it’s still not uncommon to get $2-3 clicks once in a while for that niche.
Check it out and you’ll be SHOCKED by how profitable CRM software niche is.
In order not to violate Google TOS, I rate niches with my own star system. ** - $0.20-$0.30 per click average, *** - $0.30-$0.50 per click average, **** - $0.50-$0.70 per click average, ***** - $0.70-$1.20 per click average. While I don’t mind sharing information on ***** niches, I don’t make this information publicly available because it would quickly kill these niches or get Google pissed off at me.
All AdSense niches were tested by me personally and your results shouldn’t be very different, unless your account was smart-priced, too much time passed since my testing, MFA got a hold of the niche or your site or traffic source sucks big time.

It's google. When I first
It's google. When I first posted the post, there where no CRM ads. Then there were, then they disappeared again. I have no proof, but I am inclined to think that Google is now actively protecting most profitable niches by not displaying ads on unproven sites. They finally realized that MFA sites targeting expensive keywords are bad for advertisers. That's my explanation.
Does it mean the end of "niche marketing"?
Wow, thanks for your ultra-fast response. So if google is protecting expensive keywords from non proven sites, has sense building site-niches that will never display the more profitable ads? Should we build a site about CRM software, as you recommend, if no CRM software ads will be displayed?
No, clearly you shouldn't if
No, clearly you shouldn't if you don't make any money. See what niches work for you. I don't think that my advice can be universal.
How do you drive traffic for testing?
Hey very good resource for adsense niches. I have a question though. How do you get sufficient traffic to your sites to test the value of the clicks. Do you write and submit articles on the niche topics to hundreds of article directories, build sites around 3,4 or 5 keyword variations of the niche topic, or is their some other method you use? It seems that you have to have a very good and consistent traffic generating system to test so many niches.
The thing is I don't always
The thing is I don't always get sufficient traffic. But I use linkbaitng and sites like RedDit, Delicious and Digg, you can easily get a few hundred to a few thousand visitors with a provocative title and good content.The other thing is that I have several news site that get decent traffic, so all I need to do is to put up a new article and wait for the stats.
Why CRM ads aren't showing?
Hello Dmitri, and thanks for your site.
I've a question: you're talking about CRM sofware, but no ads about this matter are showing on your post, only generic ads about earning money.
The same is happening to me in my blog. Have you any idea? Are this expensive ads restricted to "quality" sites?
