The Future of niche sites and search engines
I have been wondering lately about the future of niche sites and search engine traffic. Google seems to be giving a lot of priority to wikipedia and similar type sites. Knol might be on the horizon soon too. There is also google books and google news appearing in the serps more and more. All this is clearly leaving less and less room for our niche sites.
One of my keywords has 22 google books, 1 news, 2 wiki in the first 50 results. Mostly positioned high up too.
I'm wondering if we will soon be fighting for crumbs on all but the very uncompetitive terms.
We will have to see, the web changes all the time! Any views?
