Travel or Finance?

    In your experience, which gives better eCPM? I would like someone who has actually been into these niches to give me some advice. I'm thinking of creating a large portal for both of these.

    I realize that finance is a hot topic with lot of competition and lots of high paying keywords.

    I know that the travel niche is flooded with rich guys with tons of link building.

    I have read almost every single post on the Adsense forum from Dec 2007.

    I realize it's quite ironic that a guy who gives advice on both these niches is actually asking for some.

    But I'm putting a lot of money onto this project, would love to get some extra advice from better people.

    Opting for finance is okay but learn how to bring targeted traffic amidst stiff competition which is very important.

    Hello...

    Id say finance, whether its forex or credit card or something related along those lines you can expect
    to make a few bucks per click.

    as for travel... who has money to be taking grand vacations in this economy? it might have been great niche
    before but not sure how good it would be today.

    thx

    Going into the finance niche is a huge pain. You have a huge amount of competitors, even though the eCPM is high. It's a great niche, and I'm sure you can do the proper work.

    Even though finance will always be high paying, but can't really underestimate travel niche as well.
    I have few Hotels and Resorts related websites which comes under travel niche, and those sites making good moeny from adsense, obviously CPC is pretty decent as well.
