Which niche is less competitive

It depends on back links generation if some directories generates low back links i will consider as a time wasting or lower competitive.

How to stop eating watermelons, while overcoming nicotine addiction, and standing on your head, specifically for males, under 12 years old, from China.... I swear there is like.. No competition at all!

I will say something constructive too:

This was once my gig. Chasing very low competition niche markets.. But the thing is, you will do a lot better if you simply pick something you love, because you will naturally be better than all the other marketers that are just "looking for low competition" naa mean?

Just pick what you like dude, and be sure it is slightly more specific by targeting an age group, or just males/females or something stupid like that. Works every time. Good luck!

If you are new to all this, then I would be thinking....."what do I know alot about and/ or would like to know a lot about?" Once you come up with some things you are interested in and or knowledgable about, think about how they would do. Are there potential products in the niche, are there people out there who are also interested in the niche.

Doing something you are passionatte about will get you a lot farther than picking a random niche....just my opinion though.

Hi there

I agree with Justin - it's not a question of whether the niche is too competitive, but rather whether the keyword phrases you are targeting (assuming you are going for free traffic) are competitive. So, ranking for "weight loss" - super hard. Ranking for "melon throwing" - a piece of cake.

It's often good to focus on product names because they have fewer pages optimized for them, than general terms. For example, "computer printer" = very very hard: "HP printer" - slightly easier. "HP photosmart" starting to get easy. "HP photosmart premium 309g" - very easy.

(It's a good printer too LOL)

This approach is central to, for example, Chris Rempel's Conduit Method, and George Brown's Google Sniper - both aimed at making money online. Their idea is that you chuck sites up fast and the traffic generation work (backlinking) is minimal because the product names are easier to rank for.

With this type of approach it's a number game: put ten sites up and with any luck one will kill it, and 2 or 3 others will make some dough too. Put 100 up and you might have 10 - or even more - real winners.

Of course, you can then go back and put extra content on, and extra backlinks for, the big successes.

Good luck
