    Unfortunately im not willing to share any niche info i may have, i mean that in the nicest possible way :) but i think some are overdone, but that doesn't mean you still cant jump on the bandwagon of the popolar niches, it just means you have to get smarter about the way you approach it.

    Sorry i cant give any specific help.

    Keep in mind though, that when someone tells you not to get into something, its not because its crap, but because they dont want the competition, dont look to your competitors for advice.;)

    Pick a good niche, without being too general or specific. For example recreation is too general, but english rock climbing may be too specific. Rock climbing may be nice :)

    Try pick a niche you are interested in, and which has a good amount of sites that you can add to your directory.

    A niche can be something past, present, or future. Here are a couple of my favorites. (Environment, Alternative Energies, Specific Foods).. You get the point I'm sure.... Pick one or something that interests you and do some research. That's key.

    Every niche is good
    sports, technology, webmaster, entertainment etc..

    it depends on how well you promote or create a site..

    Whatever niche you know something about. If you don't like what you're in, it will be hard to build and maintain and it won't be profitable if you don't have anything interesting to say.

    Choosing a niche can be very hard, though what you should do before choosing a niche is consider it. Do you know much about that specific niche, is it something that you would love to work on.

    In order to get a established web site, you must work hard that doesn't only apply to web directories. Choose something you like, that is basically it.

    Make sure theres a demand for it, there could be lots of sites related to the niche, but will they submit to the niche directory.

    If its business, then there could be many webmasters.

    If its a cute hobby, how many are webmasters? maybe the tons of sites are setup free and part of networks that wont have a clue what a directory is.

    Take things like this into account when thinking how the niche is used.

    ? with so many people wanting to get on the neiche train before it departs, has anyone thought of a neiche site covering just that.

    creating and maintaining neiche sites ? there must be a whole heap of tools ad on's tips n tricks and i can easily see a forum added to that giving people power.

    good luck with your project.

    if you are trying to build a niche directory just because you heard that niche directories make a good resource, then don't waste your time. If you don't know what niche you want to build your directory for, don't waste your time either.

    Build a niche directory only if you are familiar with the topic or the niche.
