I am going to try a new method and this involves targeting small niches/markets and incorporating google adsense on my blogs.

Is there a free tool or software that I can use that will help me find small niches that have potential of being profitable for adsense?

I have been doing research and trying to find low competition keywords using google keyword tool, but I am having trouble just coming up with niche ideas off the top of my head and would like something that can give me some small, less competitive niche ideas and then I can do the keyword research from there.

Thanks in advance

    I don't know of any free tools. You do realize that although smaller niches mean less competition, it also means they are less profitable. Also, it takes just as many visitors to get an adsense click as it does to make an affiliate sale (1/100 on average). Why would you want to make .30 a click when you can make $30+ a sale using affiliate marketing?

    It may mean more competition, but it also means that there are more opportunities to make money and a lot more products to promote. It's all about getting your foot in the door. With the holidays coming up, there are lots of products coming out that haven't been yet advertised via mass media (t.v.). Why not just position yourself in the search engines to make the most of items like these? There are products you can promote across tons of niches.

      But with affiliate marketing its not the same thing
      You only get paid AFTER THE PERSON CLICKS ON THE AD................THEN AFTER THEY BUY FROM THE SPONSOR.............there is two steps to making money in your situation, with Adsense all the person has to do is click on the Ad, then the Adsense advertiser gets paid


      Lets compare side by side

      Affilate Marketer
      Adsense

      3000 visitors to each site

      3.5% of the visitors click on an Ad (CTR)

      Affiliate Marketer gets 100 clicks on the Ad. fine
      but he has not made any money yet, he still has to sell the product]

      Ok assume 2 percent conversion ratio so out of that 100 visitors he gets 2 sales
      so thats 2 x $30 = $60 for the Affiliate Marketer

      Ok now Adsense
      Most people can easily target $2 to $5 clicks but lets be generous and say ok
      .60 per click is the payout. The Adsense advertiser also got 3.5% CPC so 100 clicks

      100 clicks x .60 per click = VOILA $60 for the Adsense Advertiser

      The numbers are Equal

      Now if the Adsense advertiser is getting $1 $2, per click he will trounce the affiliate marketer

      So you see, you were comparing apples and oranges with this .30 per click vs $30 per sale since the Affiliate Marketer still has to sell the product after the first click on the Ad

      The Adsense guy has already made his money at that point

      Also you stated this, which is TOTALLY MISLEADING

      "Also, it takes just as many visitors to get an adsense click as it does to make an affiliate sale (1/100 on average)"

      Either you are clueless how Adsense works vs Affiliate Marketing, or you are being intentionally misleading

      so you are telling me If I get 100 visitors to my blog and I have a 1 percent conversion ratio on sales, that means I get 1 $30 sale per 100 visitors? thats total hogwash,
      Sure I get 1 percent conversion ratio AFTER THE VISITORS TO MY SPONSORS PAGE
      but when you factor in the initial CTR on my ad to get them to the sponsor page, the actual CONVERSION ratio is probably more like 1 in 3000 visitors to my original blog (3% CTR, to the sponsor then 1% of those end up buying from the sponsor page)

      or are you telling me you get a sale for every 100 visitors to your blog?
      Where I come from that is not how conversion ratio is calculated

    Don't be afraid of a little competition.

    Competition is one of the biggest signs that a particular market is making people money. However, you can still find plenty of profitable keywords in almost any niche.

    I don't know of any free tools that does this as well as the paid ones. If you want to super charge your keyword searching, use Keyword Country, Keyword Discovery, or Word Tracker. Also Brad Callen's Micro Niche Finder is pretty good too if you're looking for smaller niches.

    In Google Keyword Tools itself, there's an option to filter by difficulties. Choose "easy" to filter out keywords with higher / ultra competition.

    I would advise you to use ‘Keyword Country’ for discovering profitable niches. Since its about Google Adsense, you should take each and every step with care. Because, its very difficult to get Adsense approval and once you get banned you will never get Adsense approval for that domain again.

    Why don't You just go to big sites like ebay, yahoo, etc. where they have different categories for products/books/ yahoo questions and what not. Use those categories as Your seed keywords for niches in Google keyword tool and you will have plenty of niches/keywords .
