    Entertainment?? Could some be more exact, because saying "Entertainment" would cover a lot of topics...

    SEO Blogs
    and
    How To Make Money with Adsense

    Both of those things make me want to stab my stomach with a sword, and let the pain purify me from ever having to read another blog called one of those two things

    I have gaming and video sites b/c I thought they would be fun to maintain. Well, its not very fun to watch adsense clicks come in @ 0 cents and 1 cent, Now I know better.

    Any niche that you do not have a high degree of knowledge in and / or that you're not passionate about. You gotta do well in this line of business to really succeed, and nobody does well doing something they don't have a real passion for.

    If you want to set up a bunch of crappy, unoriginal MFA sites on, say, health, finance, legal services or MMO or anything else you think is 'smart,' then by all means go ahead and do that. Chances are you'll bore yourself to tears with it though, and someone else with the ability to do those things well will get all the traffic and hence all the money. Considering the immense competition out there and the fact that making money on stuff like that get harder day by day, you'll probably earn less per hour than you could flipping burgers, and you'll meet less chicks too.

    It looks to me that Gaming and Sports are some things that you should stay away from.

    But i think that it really depends on the season, if football season is just starting up, then something football might take off, same for any other sport.

    it really depends on what you want to do and the supply and demand for that product or service, sometimes as i just said it can depend on the time of year also.

    best of luck with your success.

    Yep, as others have said, game sites are not very good for making money through adsense. I have a gaming site, but I don't do it for the money, I do it more because it is something I love. Right now I'm actually getting 4k views per day yet still losing money off of it.

    Stay away from all the niches that I am in. Politics, Science, etc, etc. They suck and I would hate for you all to come into a niche that sucks...

    ...

    In other news...Any niche can be profitable. Sure, gaming and the such bring in less money with Adsense than other ones. The thing to remember, though, is that you should never earn JUST through Adsense. If you are, you're missing out on a ton of income. So, stay away from no niche. Just make sure you have an understanding of the niches you do get involved with.

    The 'make money' niche Everybody and their brother is making how to earn blogs and the like. They seem to be popular but some of them turn out to be spam and link farms. There ar eover 90,000,000 results for make money . A site with good content and traffic may rank high but still may get lost at the bottom of the pile.

    Gaming, Proxy, How to Make Money, Sports, and Politics are a couple of bad niches.
