Default Would You Like To Share Data On Profitable AdSense Niches?

I've been involved in AdSense for a couple of years and the main lesson I learned is that niche or niches you are in make A LOT of difference.

The other lesson I've learned is that keyword lists that feature $5, $10, $20 dollar keywords (so called high-paying keywords) are almost entirely BS. In fact, these keywords pay very poorly, when compared to some rather unsexy niches, like self publishing or print on demand. I am talking from my own experience.

Anyhow, few months ago I started a site (NicheGeek) where I share my data on AdSense niches that work for me. I've got about sixty niches on my site right now (it's totally free, too, I have nothing to sell, you are welcome to check 'em out).

If you know of AdSense niches that worked for you and would like to share them with others, I will gladly add your infomration to my site.

The only rule is that I only publish niches that make 50 cent per click ON AVERAGE or more.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Some pointers:
- Those sixty niche Adsense sites that you own, did you personally hand-made each one of them, or did you buy them pre-made and preloaded with PLR (or may be not) articles? If it's the latter, then chances are they won't do too well.
- Yes those really high paying keywords are BS indeed, and most are way too competitive for you to succeed with to begin with. For instance the infamous "mesothelioma" got a lot of attention due to its generally high price; yet less and less people are getting successful with it. Keywords that are $5 to $7 are okay though. On top of everything, it's the keyword research that matters. I prefer Wordtracker.com
- I checked out NicheGeek.com (nice looking and professional by the way!) A little tip, to blend your ads even more, change the link colour of the left sidebar hyperlinks to the same colour of the Adsense links.

I personally think that "pre-made" sites or "adsense ready" sites are just a complete nonsense.
