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.

To give you an idea of how many resources out there, there is a publication called Black MBA Magazine, which caters to the African Americans who received or are pursuing MBA degrees. Talk about niches. There are also many MBA associations with valuable information.

Be that as it may, I still maintain that these fancy degrees are worthless. The one thing that I know for sure it’s good for is contextual advertisement.

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.
