How to Really Profit with Google Adsense (continued)
For example, I was recently re-reading some information about under-represented niche topics with huge markets.
One of the topics suggested as a winner was 'snakes'.
I found that hard to believe, so I did my own research.
The term 'snakes' had 152,857 searches at Overture and its partners in January, so yes, that's a pretty sizeable interest in 'snakes'.
OK, but who's your market? Kids looking for snake pictures for a school project? People who want to buy snakes? Someone who wants to visit Snake River?
What are you going to sell? Snakes? The game, 'Snake'? A $10 book on which you make a 15% commission? A $60 poster from allposters.com on which you earn a 30% commission seemed to be the best bet, but how many people want to pay $60 for snake posters?
To me, that's not enough interest or commission potential to build a site around 'snakes'.
So, what about incorporating Adsense to boost potential profitability?
Well, search Google for 'snakes'. See what comes up in the Google Adwords column?
NOTHING!
If you want to monetize with Adsense, you have to pick topics whose Adwords advertisers spend mega-bucks per click.
How do you figure out what those topics are?
Easy!
If you haven't already done so, open up a Google Adwords account and create a new campaign. Add a list of keywords (one niche topic at a time), then click on 'estimate traffic'. The resulting page will show you the average cost per click for each keyword.
