I started this site about a month ago but before this one I started www.CodeResearchCenter.com, I'm starting to see traffic on that site, nothing special but I didn't follow a pattern, I didn't do my research I just started to create an open source portal a bad area. It's been done... a lot. I'm still going to finish this way I'll have my own website framework to work with and as the project progresses I'll have an easier time sitting up niche websites.

I'm not getting much traffic on that site because I didn't cover a new topic and I didn't do keyword research, well... I didnt' do a lot of things that would have made that site popular. I started www.CodeResearchCenter.com more to have a place in my area of expertise in which I can wright content for with out any effort. Do what you love type site. Which is a great idea it's just I didn't and needed to follow a set of simple guide that I'll out line later in this post.

But first, what is niche marketing?

Niche marketing is when you pick a relatively unpopular topic inside a niche and start creating content for it using very targeted keywords. if done wright you should see traffic from search engines with out doing any pay per click (PPC) advertising.

Great but who cares about internet traffic?

You should, if you have a lot of internet traffic you can make money though advertising or selling affiliate products. Niche marketing is about taking a hot topic and providing content for that topic. If you do this enough times and you'll make money doing it. It's very simple to start but it needs to be done right. It's best to start a site with no ads build popularity for the site and then once you have traffic put ads up... go nuts, just don't be annoying. you'll make money though Google or some other ad you put up.

What's the formula for starting a niche web site.

  1. Find a hot topic, something that isn't covered with mass amounts of internet marketers.
  2. Research the topic to find out if you can write content for the topic to bring in traffic (wright articles for keywords)
  3. Setup a simple site for that topic and start writing or pay someone to wright content
  4. Submit it to the search engines (this will take about a month to go though)
  5. Setup subscriber lists, market to them
  6. Once you have regular traffic put up some ads
  7. All or a percentage of the site's income should go back into the site.
  8. Enjoy your new site and start another one

Very simple create one site and then another and another. The more you do this the better you'll get at finding and seeing niche website.
