The Top 5 Lamest Web Niches For 2008 by A Rude Webmaster
While people have made money with these sites before, it's an uphill battle right from the start. Don't go against the grain by starting a site with any of these 5 lame niches, you will only be in for a world of hurt. Get a dependable niche that targets people who want to spend, create real content and link in products you know these people will buy. Get quality links and natural traffic, then start making sales. It's really that simple.
Without further adieu, I bring you the Top 5 Lamest Web Niches for 2008
1. Proxy. Everyone and their mother has a proxy site. How do you people still compete in this and actually turn a profit? Proxy is an overly competitive niche, don't expect to earn back any of the money you pay for marketing. Your target market is broke teenage Myspace addicts who would rather surf their Myspace than actually socialize with real people at school.
2. Making Money Online. A website trying to make money online about teaching others how to make money online is not only really stupid, it's really absurd. Exception: You must be clearing at least a few grand a month to actually have a website like this, or else people will laugh at you. Really.
3. Arcades. This niche is very similar to Proxy sites. Although it might be fun, hosting stupid cheap flash games on the same arcade template everyone elses uses will not make you one red cent. Most people on your site will be kids who can't afford to pay for and play real games, what makes you think you can make any money advertising anything to them? Find a better idea.
4. Image Hosting. Although image hosting sites serve a functional purpose, don't expect to make any money with them. These kinds of sites will not only eat up your bandwidth, they are a complete waste of time.
5. Warez. Do people really still make these sites anymore? I guess so. People too cheap to go out and buy the real game don't have any money to spend in the first place, so don't market to these people. Not only is this kind of site a pain in the ass because it's illegal, finding real advertisers for it will be a pain in the ass unless you like hosting porn ads.
