Foreclosure - *** Niche

Foreclosure is one niche I’m watching closely. It doesn’t quite yet provide the payout I am accustomed to, but I think this one is a potential winner. Here is why.

Real estate bubble is deflating! The number of foreclosed properties was already pretty high last year and it’s likely to increase this year as home sale slow down and rates go up. This would increase the number of properties in foreclosure and pre-foreclosure and this niche is very likely to benefit.

So, what are some of the foreclosure niches you might want to look at. First, there are geographical niches, like Michigan foreclosures or San Diego foreclosures. Second, there are different types of foreclosures, depending on who financed the deal, like bank foreclosures or HUD foreclosures.

And the last niche worth mentioning is “foreclosure listings”. A number of companies obtain foreclosure information from counties and resell it to interested parties.

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.
