Thank you Titing for the Good and useful advice. I was pondering over something like this. The most difficult part of it is the selection of the niche and content creation. Of course the blog would reach some good status after a year or so. May be it requires about 50 pages at least. It would be welcome if someone share their actual experience with such a mini site.
There are millions of household products that you can search for your niche... find something you are familiar with... For you to have some idea, here are some examples of leading niche sites... These are owned by different people... Just take a look at how these sites are created, the domains, the content, ad placements, etc... Some sites have 2 or 3 posts but all are unique.. Take a look how these people discover such keyword-domains... http://computerwirelessspeakers.com/ http://www.truckmudflaps.org/ http://babydollstroller.net/ http://buildsolarpanelpower.com/ http://www.4slicetoaster.org/ http://www.pottytraininggirls.org/ http://frozendrinkmaker.net/ http://abovegroundpoolpumps.org/
I have two things to share in this forum. 1. I have a micro niche website and it ranks #3 for target keyword. The keyword is 2 lettered and it is regarding laptops. Though I am in good position, the traffic is miserable. I get only 5-10 Unique visitors a day. Adwords tool states that the keyword has 9900 monthly searches !!! 2. Will this work in long term? Will Google penalize this type of website? Thanks
As long as you are not doing anything against to TOS, why would google penalize you? I am not really sure if you are having the right search volume and local search...
Great thread . I want to add something to the keyword research part : purchase a software like Market Samurai and you will definitely find you niches in no time.
No need to do that... google adwords tool is enough.. it has nothing to do with domain extension... google will index whatever page as long as you have backlinks and good content..
