Okay, while my title might exaggerate a tad bit when I say micro niche websites are the biggest hype ever, but they are continuing to gain popularity, especially in the domaining and forum community. For those of you who don’t know what a micro niche website is, you can call it a website that is about a subject inside of another subject per say. If I were writing about specifically geometric equations in stead of writing about all the different areas of math, that would be a micro niche (geometric equations).

And let’s be honest folks, not only are micro niches limited in the diversity of content, but they’re also limited in their success. While there probably aren’t many websites about geometric equations (which lowers my competition), keep in mind that there’s not a huge number of people searching for geometric equations either. When discussing potential traffic, micro niche websites are lacking any future.

I will say that I have had, and do have micro niche websites. The most money any of my micro niches have made was about $30/month. While some of them may have had a good amount of traffic, there were no advertisers paying good money for clicks (via Google AdSense), so it was very hard to make a good amount of money off them. I’ve seen others who have been somewhat successful with their micro niche websites, but it really depends on the niche you pick. And with so many micro niche websites out there, it’s almost impossible to find a non-copetitive micro niche with a good search volume and high paying advertisers. The main point here is that micro niches don’t have even a decent chance of success because of the lack of good advertisers in most micro niches.

I’m not going to lie to you, there have been many people who have been EXTREMELY successful with micro niche websites and made a ton of money off them. But it’s hard to do. Extremely hard. That’s why I say micro niche websites are a hype. Soon people will realize the slim chance of success with them, and realize they’re all a hype. I’d appreciate comments on this, and I’d especially love to hear personal experiences.
