    I'm thinking about creating a new online game(s) related site, but I need some help in choosing my niche. Do I do a 3k plus game arcade or a specific game page?

    Heres an example:

    ArcadeWebsite.com (not an actual example but general):
    -no way in hell for SE traffic or good SERP at an early stage
    -saturated environment
    -click/impression banner exchanges (I know how to really work these well)
    -Arcade Topsites (I know how to work these well)
    -Stumbleupon/Digg not so easily utilized

    Worlds-Hardest-Game.com (an actual example, not registered, so use it if you like)
    -hyphenated domain name is required cuz regular is registered (worldshardestgame.com REGISTERED, helicoptergame.com REGISTERED)
    -1.5m competition (not bad)
    -pretty easy SERP domination - thru manual directory submit, possibly PayPerPost, social bookmarking submit, etc
    -pretty good keyword searches amount 1.8m+ global goog searches
    -not good for topsites/banner exchanges
    -Stumbleupon/Digg easily utilized

    So basically, the question is, what is easier to earn with? Topsite/Banner Exchange Traffic or Organic/social bookmarking traffic? In both short-term (1 - 3 months) and long-term (3 months - 1 year - 5+ years)?

    All help is greatly accepted and all valuable help will be given rep+!

    Thanks!

    P.S. - How should it be monitized with either version? Adsense, CPM, CPA, etc? Thanks AGAIN!
