Taking Advantage of "Topical" Niches

We all know about the "usual" niches - things link "weight loss", "dating", etc. But there are zillions of 'topical' niches that can do as well as any top niche, usually with much less competition.

I have a number of niche blogs and sites, monetized with Adsense, to take advantage of traditional niches:

Nursing School Programs - nursing schools, jobs, careers.

Hypnosis-X.info - everything you wanted to know about hypnosis.

Complete Home School Guide - about homeschooling and homeschoolers.

Fix Credit Repair - fixing your credit rating, repairing your credit score.

My point is simply this: Don't limit your Internet Marketing efforts to traditional niches. There's a LOT of money to be made outside of the "usual suspects"!

But I've also begun exploring topical niches: news events, trends, etc.

The Presidential Zone is a new blog I put up to take advantage of the traffic generated from interest in the 2008 U.S. presidential race:

PresidentialZone - a new political blog on the 2008 US Presidential race.

High gas prices is another topical niche with tons of traffic:

Gas For Less Money - blogging on gas savings, mileage improvements.

The 2008 ULTIMATE Gas Savers Guide - improve gas mileage, gas saving devices, more.
