College Textbooks - *** Niche
This is most likely a seasonal fluke, but I see rather strong earnings from the pages that display ads on college textbooks. Textbooks are outrageously expensive so many students don’t shop at their on campus bookstores and look for cheap or used textbooks online.
As far as I could see, all textbook ads were from textbook stores and not MFA sites. My guess is that bids aren’t that high to attract this crowd. So if you are quick, go ahead and try college textbooks and see how it works out for you. I’m pretty sure that once the school starts, the textbook sellers will cut their ad budgets, but that yet remains to be seen.
In order not to violate Google TOS, I rate niches with my own star system. ** - $0.20-$0.30 per click average, *** - $0.30-$0.50 per click average, **** - $0.50-$0.70 per click average, ***** - $0.70-$1.20 per click average. While I don’t mind sharing information on ***** niches, I don’t make this information publicly available because it would quickly kill these niches or get Google pissed off at me.
All AdSense niches were tested by me personally and your results shouldn’t be very different, unless your account was smart-priced, too much time passed since my testing, MFA got a hold of the niche or your site or traffic source sucks big time.
