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.

I’ve been told that SQL Server is a good niche, but I don’t know anything about SQL or other databases, so I can’t verify that. You are certainly welcome to try it out.

That’s it for today. Happy Friday and have a great weekend folks.

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.
