Broad authority website or niche specific, which is best?

There are 2 schools of thought on the best approach to choosing a domain name and building a website. They are (1) build an umbrella site that is broad and authoritative, based on one higher demand keyword or (2) build a niche site that is of course, specific to one or two keywords, with far less demand.

Which of these do you think is best, in relation to seo and making money? Please give reasons for your answer.

Answer
There are a number of pros and cons

BUILD AN UMBRELLA SITE

Pros:
- can grow to become an authority site, which means great search engine rankings for a wide variety of keywords
- can be a one-stop destination of target audience where everything they need is on one site
- if you lose some keywords, the site still has hundreds of other keywords
- huge traffic potential
- faster to get links as other sites are more likely to link to this big site

Cons:
- requires more resources to create, develop, and grow
- when you get hit with a search engine penalty, your entire business falls
- it’s like putting all eggs in one basket

NICHE SITE

Pros:
- easier to create, develop as it has a smaller scope
- allows you to dominate a segment, especially if the field is hard to crack with lots of authority sites

Cons:
- limited traffic
- hard to grow and get traffic
- to earn more, you need to have more of these smaller sites

For years, we’ve followed the broad authority website approach, and it works great for our business model (advertising). It is easier to attract advertisers to the site, and even using third party ad programs such as Adsense yields extremely good results because it is harder to be smartpriced, it has more diverse keywords, and traffic is better.

BUT — we got hit by a Google penalty 3 year ago, and lost 80% of Google traffic. That hurt big time, so we are adding other smaller niche sites to at least provide some backups for the main site.

Would you like to join niche bbw dating site?

I am a BBW. Over the years, I’ve tried lots of personals sites with limited results. I always wondered if the responses to my ads were few and far between due to my size. At the end of Aug 2006, my friend gave me a link to go on, it was http://www.pluscupid.com . So I joined it. After a few weeks I started chatting to Frank. At this moment we’re looking to buy a house. We’re expecting our first child together. If you are a bbw and feel hard to find a partner, would you like to join this niche bbw site?

Answer
God, I’m out of touch – just what does BBW stand for?

Congratulations to you and Frank, that is a great story!

how do niche site generate revenues?

Answer
It depends on what the business model of that niche site is.

Many earn by advertising. They typically

1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com
Fastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com
Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com

2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/
Yahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/
Intellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm
Quigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm
IndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com
Commission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com
Kanoodle Brightads http://www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.html
Clicksor http://www.clicksor.com/affiliate_programs.php
Contextweb http://www.contextweb.com/
Bidclix http://www.bidclix.com/
Bidvertiser http://www.bidvertiser.com/

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: “no pain, no gain!”

4. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people’s products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

There are also niche sites that sell their products or services. One example is offering their information through paid subscriptions.

There are also many niche sites involved in ecommerce. One example is Red Wagons http://www.redwagonsonline.com/ which is a small business offering a very niche product — the radio flyer products.

Should I sign up on this niche dating site for tall singles?

I am a very tall girl and it is really hard for me to meet an ideal dating partner arround me. Last week came across a dating site called tallhub.com, it is for tall girls and tall guys. Should I turn to online dating? I am afraid that there are many scammers on tha dating site.

Answer
why not just go to a regular dating site, especially one that is reputable? if you only give the small population of guys that are taller than you a chance, you are narrowing your chances of finding someone wonderful. good luck.
