Here is the low down on the best and worst niches and types of sites you should try to get into and which ones you should avoid (this is just my opinion; feel free to critique it): Proxies and porn are always profitable. I personally do not like them that much because they make me feel dirty, but hey, it's money. Arcades are bad due to low clicks. (Does anybody know if this also include using things like Text Link Ads? I have always wanted to start an arcade site, but am not sure if I should.) Blogs are good, but they have to be original. I make a small amount of money from my blog, but to be honest I do not think it is worth the effort. (I just continue because I feel loyal to my readers.) This is not a set-it-up-and-leave-it type of site (for the most part). Blogs about SEO, SEM, and internet marketing have spread too much this past year. I advise everyone without an already established site to stay away because this niche is supersaturated as it is. Specific niche sites about certain topics (e.g., weight loss, jogging, finding loans, etc.) can become profitable. They require a lot of time at first writing 10-20 unique articles and then a lot of marketing and SEO. I personally hate affiliate sites because you are selling someone else's product. Make your own and get all the money is the optimum, but not everybody has the time or skills to do that. These can become profitable, but you will have a lot of competition and a lot of marketing work to do. That's it. Hope that was helpful. What do you think are some of the best and worst niche sites to get in to? Go.
Well, regarding porn, nothing to feel dirty about. People want porn and porn makes anyone feel good. Nobody gets hurt and it's legal, so no problem there. Nothing wrong with proxies either. Everyone has the right to anonymity. Now, about specific niches there are two things that works. Having a low competition product or a unique way of promoting products. The affiliate program I'm currently promoting has just launched a low competition, high demand product, which no other affiliate program has. Not even anything similar to it.

I tend to stick with niche sites a I have found these to work best for me. I enjoy the variety and also find that I can move quickly with new trends in the market. I totally agree that SEO and make money online sites/blogs are a very saturated market.
Yes I agree with oneawesomeguy, Its godd to know which niche is profitable and which not worth while. I feel that above info is good to earn some amount.
Thanks for sharing oneawsemguy. I am thinking of starting my first blog, and your post has given me a good ground to start on.
I find specific niche sites profitable. But I use pre-written articles combined with excerpts from eBooks to save time so I don't have to write anything myself. You can find lots of these in my post in the Buy & Sell section that I believe will save you time and help you make more money.
You should also consider something you like to do and write about. I know people usually say well as long as I get money, but it will be easier making money if you know about and love it.
Unfortunately, this is so true. This is what I have been moving towards lately. Do you hire someone to write articles for you? If so, do you find that this becomes easily profitable or does it just depend on the writer and your marketing?
