Building Your Niche Site Then Refine and Zero In
I have been working on one of my niche sites the past couple of weeks. The initial search term was kind of broad but has a large adsense payout. With almost 9 million returns for the two primary searches I realized that this was going to be a challenge to achieve good search return rankings. As I started to research my information and develop pages and postings I started to find the sub-niche that would produce even higher payouts with only a 600K total search return. It is a lot easier to compete with 600K than 9 million.
I also found that there is much more information available on the internet on the sub-niche as well as more current news to draw my postings from. After discovering this new area I went ahead and modified the entries in my All In One SEO plug in as well as page title and descriptions. I also modified the footer code include a slight variation of the new primary search term and now I just need to wait for the site to be re-indexed and see what happens.
As usual I am not using any AdWords or paid inbound links to promote the site. I am a true beliver in the long term committment to a site to produce enough quality content on a regular basis that the site will stand on its own merit and people will link in voluntarily.
Once the site is re-indexed by Google and others and I see how it moves, I will post and update. Who knows, I may even find a sub-niche within the new one after this is done to refine it more.
