Outsourcing, IT Outsourcing, Payroll outsourcing - *** Niche

Outsourcing is currently one of my favorite AdSense niches. The per-click average is below 50 cents, but if you get the right crowd, the CTR is excellent.

I’ll tell you a little secret. I’m thinking of creating an outsourcing portal, bringing together folks who outsource IT, programming, web design, help desk and other geeky stuff. Hey, if I get THAT MUCH from AdSense alone, I should get 10X, charging finder’s fee or a monthly membership. I know of a few folks who’ve traveled that path (actually started as outsourcers but than turned “outsource brokers”) who make six figures just bringing the two interested parties together.

OK, let’s talk outsourcing. I’ve done some keyword research. The most popular type of outsourcing (that companies look for) is call center outsourcing. This niche sucks. Nothing but a bunch of nickel and dime clicks.

Manufacturing outsourcing and country specific outsourcing searches (like “outsource India” or “outsource China”) aren’t very profitable either.

The only two above average outsourcing niches that I found are “IT outsourcing” and “payroll outsourcing”. That doesn’t mean there aren’t more, but my guess is that the most money to be made is in IT outsourcing and it’s the best AdSense niche.

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.
