    hi,
    for example you can do health, but can take it further to heart health. you can also take that further into heart health folks in the 50's. and then take that further into asian heart health folks in the 50's. etc....just wondering how deep do you guys go who make a few dollars a day on a blog.

    thanks!

    It is entirely your option. you can go as deep as you want or just touch your niche. But make sure that you haven't moved them away from health niche.

    As long as your niche have some good number of customers you don't have to worry about it.

    Building on lower targeted keywords is better choice for me. Then try and aim for main niche.

    I usually use three keyword phrases when building a niche site. Broad , Focused and completely targeted in. Example would be "bird feeder", "bluebird feeder" and "stainless steel blue bird feeder". I would link build using the "stainless steel blue bird feeder" phrase until it ranked in the top five then move to the next phrase and so on. You should not only focus on adsense but on affiliate commission as well.

    Dear koloaTree,

    The more deep you go in the niche the better it will be,long tail keywords are very good in getting you the top rankings.

    For example you talked about the health, search this word in the google and see the results 1,400,000 Its impossible for you gain the top position in the "health" niche, and for instance you choose the "mens health" and then "mens sexual health" , you will have the less competition and change of getting the top position will be greater.

    It depends on your research.. more specific niche, less competition.

    hey all thanks for the advice. is there a estimate amount of total search results before deciding on a topic?

    like one niche may return a million results, more target niche may return 500k, around what estimate would you say, it may be good?

    I work on some long tail keywords in my niche which when searched in Google results the pages in less than 10,000.

    The real hard thing is to find a market with less competition with hungry buyers
    Once done the benefits are endless.

    hi all, thanks again!

    now do you build a whole blog about it or does creating a very informative post be good enough?

    First of all: It tremendiously helps, if you use the proper terms. There is a difference between "niche" and "topic". Every niche has a topic, but not every topic is a niche. Not looking totally clueless is just a wiki search away:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niche_market

    "Health" is most certainly not a niche, "Treating frostbites for Aborigines" is.

    Having said that: You go as deep into your topic as your knowledge permits. As soon as your topic becomes a niche topic, you will no longer attract mainstream visitors. Your userbase will be highly targeted and likely be deep into the topic themselves, meaning you have to be an expert yourself, in order to offer them something.
