hi everyone newbie to this forum i want to start a new site for the very first time and i am wondering will a classic car theme type website works good with adsense and other affiliate programs as i read ,do what you enjoy and i love old cars and want to make some money too i have a chance to buy a website related to this theme and i will need to completely redesign the site but it has good index ranking in google it's been up since 2004 and was a ecommerce type site i have already done research on this site and it's good with google thanks
Play around with adwords to see how much it cost to advertise for the keywords you're interested in. I think in the UK you can find a lot of advertisers in the classic car niche. Dunnow if they pay well or not.
hmm..i dont know whether adsense is the best way to monetize this. Isnt there anything related on clickbank maybe?
no nothing on clickbank this site was selling aftermarket car parts and i guess it still gets traffic i was thinking of also adding amazon and ebay too for old car parts, old cars and books about old cars
Certainly add Ebay to it. The Adsense should pay pretty good too. There are alot of ways to check the Advertisor Competion wich equals profits to you. The easy way being,do a simple Google search for keyword terms the site ranks for,look to the right,see how many sponsored results there are. If at the bottom there is a More Sponsored Links » in blue,then there is alot of competition for that niche'. Off the top of my head I would say there is alot.
Check cj.com. They have a lot of advertisers for car stuff. Jc Whitney, Auto Parts Giant, Parts America, Street Beat Customs, etc. You probably could sell magazines too. Go to: https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox Type in your keywords to see how much they pay. From what I see, most keywords are paying around $.60 for that niche. Pretty low, but if you have a lot of traffic it will make up for it. Fast cars has more advertisers then hot rods. Maybe some refined hot rod parts would have more competition and better pay for clicks. You'll have to do some research...
