I'm always up for the next sick fetish. Heaven will weep one day when I've got the resources to start a program

I'd really like to stick to just one niche so that I could really do it well - spend all of my content dollars in that one area, focus on building niche traffic hubs etc. But when it comes to picking the niche I find it hard to figure out the balance between what is underrepresented on the net (or even if there are a lot of sites, but they're done really poorly) & what is a popular enough niche to make it worthwhile.

I could have the BEST Asian BBW foot fetish site on the market, but if the market for that site is too small, I would've been better off having an almost unheard of teen site.

Other than overture search results, how do you do market research to determine how popular a niche is?

You *could* create an adwords ad and target some keywords that you're THINKING of building a site for. See how many click through. Even if you link to a page with just information on it, the point is to see how many factually DO search and click..

That's an interesting idea. Maybe I should do a thread & keep track of my progress.

Thats one of the reasons I started Strange Attractor. It has a *lot* of niche categories and I can spot what folk are clicking on from the records produced by my script. As a tip, if you look at the irritating moving strip of thumbs above the links they are in order the top 30 clicked links (ignoring aging algorythm) on the site, leftmost is the top one. Currently it has too few visitors to be truly representative though hence me getting other votes from this forum!
