I've tried this before but was never successful at it. I dont think I ever really tried to hard and never put too much work into it. But I wanted to give it another try. I started to browse dmoz.org for some ideas. As soon as I saw it I knew my next niche: Jai-Alai. For those that aren't familiar with Jai-Alai it is a Spanish racketball-type game. It is mostly played in South Florida and known as "the Worlds Fastest Game." Its probably best known for being in one of the Most Interesting Man commercials. My site is http://www.playjaialai.com So on May 17 I registered the domain and created my WordPress site. Alot of the information used to create my site was from Wealthy Affiliate. They have a wealth of information and tutorials. I came up with several long tailed keywords to focus on and set them as my main pages. Although I still don't have them as complete as I'd like I really like the set up. I also started a blog page to post entries/results of the Jai-Alai matches going on. Didn't take too long until I started having some traffic. Since May 17, I have 77 unique visitors and 376 pageviews, most of which have been in the last week. Back on that first day I wrote my first article and submitted to StreetArticles, however it was denied as it had gambling content in it. No big deal I though and published the article on my site as one of my main pages. I had always planned on submitting to other Article sites but never got around to it. I also did some backlinks, but need to do more. I created a Twitter page and now have around 80 followers. After doing some research as to how my keywords were doing I noticed that all of the keywords I targeted were either on the 1st and 2nd pages of Google. In fact if you just search for the broad term of Jai-Alai, my site is on page 6 out of 3,120,000 results. I have some affiliate programs on there including Adsense but Its not my big focus now. Although I am thinking of alternative to adsense as those adds to seem to be very similar to what my visitors would be interested in. I think this is good news - but it seemed to work a little too well. How do you think I am doing? Should I even bother to submit my articles? I have already gotten many of my keywords on the first page. Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions you may have!
Looks like my site may have been down when I initially posted this. Sorry about that, but its up now!
Nothing to be worried and I'm sure your site is looking 100 % professional. beautiful color combination. Enjoyable domain name. Those images you put on your site are really really attractive. I wanna give you 7 out of 10. great job and go on.
Wow! Your website is amazing. It is very organized and very easy to navigate. Domain name and design is perfect for your site. Personally thanks for your site.
I personally like to watch this sport all the time glad to see some more sites on the subject. Looks good.
Yes I wish it was more popular. There really aren't too many sites about Jai-Alai which is why I thought it was a perfect niche. Does anyone have any ideas on affiliates? I've been having a hard time finding ones that will convert with my subject matter.
Is there anyone else who could review my blog? I've recently made a bunch of changes. http://www.playjaialai.com The big think I wondering about is my ad placement? Do you think it is too much? Or just right?
I like the design as i prefer designs that aren't too dark.About your Ad placement: The one on the right side if you scroll down is a bit useless i think. I don't think that this will generate a lot of clicks.
Your site is looking professional and also informative. Your site is fast to load. I'm telling honestly, you can make your site look more interesting by adding more graphics I like your domain name its pretty good colors and nice website, i like the content of the site too have a better logo for your site.
