    Hello!

    I want to start creating micro niche sites (many, so I can make money on autopilot) and I was wondering whether to create micro niche sites about just about anything that has less than 1,000 searches per month and put ads, or make micro niche sites about specific products and then use affiliates instead.. What do you think is the best?

    I'm all new to money making and I want to find a good way to earn money, and I think micro niche site is good, but I have a problem with finding good keywords as almost all have high competition..

    What do you think?
    Any tips and tricks?
    Thanks!

    I personally think that to make really good money from Adsense, you need yo have high traffic. Since you are focusing on creating micro niche sites, I am guessing that your traffic will be very highly targeted (provided you choose the right keywords). If that's the case, I would go for affiliate marketing. Also, make sure to have them opt in to your list so that you can sell more products to them later on.

    I would prefer affiliate marketing. Adsense is a bit hard nowadays, many get banned for creating such massive micro niche sites that Google thinks have no value on their user. Affiliate marketing is easier in my opinion, you just need to find a good product, build a good site, and drive enough traffic to get decent clicks on your offer.

    Yes, I don't like that micro niche sites concept either, but some seem to enjoy it, good for them..
    I remember a recent thread from a swiss guy who created a free ebook about that, I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it, me I didn't read it because I'm not interested at all.

    Hi, I think that you should try them both.
    First try adsense, if you see that you have good earnings keep adsense in your site, if not, I recommend you to try clickbank or amazon :).

    If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
    I have a lot of experience with Micro Niche Sites :) .

    I think adsense is good.
    You make good money from adsense than affiliate.

    Google's AdSense is a superb revenue generating opportunity for small, medium and large web sites.
    Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense ads.

    As to which is best, AS or affiliate marketing, it really depends on the niches you're in. Sometimes there are really good Affiliate or CPA offers, other times not. In some cases Adsense may be the only option. Also, don't forget to consider lead gen, again it depends on our niche, but people do buy quality leads in a variety of markets. Since you're talking about lower traffic niches, odds are none of the sites are going to make a lot of money, but if you get a site making a few dollars per day consistently, you can sell those sites. There are always buyers.

    I think your a bit late for the micro site bandwagon - As for your question regarding adsense or affiliate it comes down to your niche and what sort of adverts would be displayed on your site

    it depends on the website, some of my website works better with adsense and some is works better with affiliate program. You gotta try them out to get know the result

    I prefer a mix of the both.

    Inside blog posts and stuff, I never skip the chance to put an affiliate link to another product.
