IT oriented niche good for adsense?

    Hello,

    I've been reading this forum for few days already and decided to finally make some website. People however recommend working on site that is related to one's interests. But the problem is that some niches are less profitable than other. And I don't necessarily mean keywords Ad cost.

    So here's my concern. I am interested in IT technology - in both software and hardware fields. So it would be good to make website on some of IT niches, right? Some of sub-niches are also greatly paid. But the thing is, I am worried that most visitors to such sites would be tech savvy people, which mostly have some kind of Ads blocking in their browsers, minimizing my profits. Sure I know I could implement JavaScript Adblock detector and forbid people visiting my site with Adblock enabled,
    however I think it still wouldn't have much of an inpact on earnings.

    So what are your thoughts? Does any of you have experience in IT or tech oriented niche about CTR, or overall monthly/daily earnings?

    Thank you.

    IT niche is for IT people which leads to Computer related ads, usually they are people like you and they wont pay a lot on ad-words compain.

    IT niche is not very good for adsense.
    One reason would be what wissam suggested and another one is that IT people recognize ads and most of them do not click on ads.

    and i think both of them are right, IT niche is good stuff but i guess most of your viewers are familiar with what are they looking and may not bother clicking for your ads.

    Hello guys

    Think , a person is only good in IT he needs to setup a web site and he is planning to do the website related to IT softwares and hardware.But we know that the person is not going to generate much amount by using IT related stuffs.He wants to move to other niche,If he is not expert in other niches,how can he write more articles (without spend a money, I mean can we use any article niche based sites to get the contents ) and setup adsense
    Thanks

    I don't agree with the previous answers. Even if the niche viewers are more ad-savvy, the fact that it's a good niche, money-wise, would compensate. Give it a try, why not?

    i'm not sure though but it is still good for adsense. especially if your site is about tutorials for newbies that has common computer problems.

    IT niche pays low, and visitors are ad-aware and not click on them
