what do you think of this niche? Is the market saturated of this niche, or is there plenty of space for my blog too?
I am asking because i would like to start a blog in English on this niche, with daily economic and bussiness news.

It is a saturated market but not as much as some e.g. "make money online"

I think "business" alone is just too broad unless you have a massive advertising budget/writers for business news, business facts etc. If you can find a good niche then it will certainly be easier and you can always expand later on.

How about:

"online business"
"online business"
"business in England" (your country)
"fortune 500 business"

You get the idea

I am REALLY worried it is. I built a financial website and was going to wait one more week to request a re-review. I have a unique site with some great tools. It is around 40 pages in size and growing. BUT, I only get 3-5 visitors a day from organic searches! That is with over 100 links coming in and very good on-page SEO.

I spent over 100 hours on this site, not to mention spending money and purchasing rights to 24 financial calculators to make the site even more unique. Unless someone could show or comfort me on something other then a niche competition issue, I wonder if it is worth trying to get the last 15 pages up or pursuing adding affiliates.

I am trying an experimental site that is only 8 pages in size but a very much smaller niche to see what difference it makes.

I think you ask a great question, I just don't like the answer I fear.

You should be aware but not worried. How old is your site? Getting decent traffic from the search engines could take over a year. I certainly think it's worth getting the other 15 pages up. I'm a firm believer that a website should always be ready to make money no matter if it's new or not. Some people may say wait until you get traffic before you start adding affiliate links but I think it's best to have everything in place straight away.

Call me crazy but I think 3-5 visits from search engines is very good considering your site is new and it's a really saturated market.

KEEP GOING!

EDIT: I would also like to add. You would only really need 1 AdSense click a day to pay for your site. I imagine your clicks are worth $0.50 to $1 each. $0.50 times 30 = $15. That should be enough to pay your hosting costs and domain. If a website pays for itself there is no need to give up on it because the longer your domain name is around the more traffic you will get. 5 visits now could be 100 in a year without doing anything. On my skateboarding site I certainly noticed an increase in search engine traffic once my domain reached 1 year old.

Sequence,
I hope you are right. I also needed to hear those words of support. According to Google webmaster top search queries, I have 27 different search terms ranked 10 or higher. Some are pretty long tailed though. Two are "best my keyword" with keyword being what I am trying to rank for.

I didn't think about the age thing though. Thanks for the reminder. I can not stand uncompleted project and I have put a lot work into it and will finish it. One just wonders if you take a breather or keep running the race. To date this is the biggest web project I have ever tackled.

Thanks Again

No problem. Web hosting is so saturated my best keyword ranking is for "The truth about unlimited bandwidth". I am ranking for this long tail keyword (4th result). Maybe you should add a blog and target keywords with articles? That is what I will be doing soon.

I hope your site becomes successful, Bill. I've looked at it before and the calculators ALONE are very helpful when needed.

The general business niche is pretty saturated, yes. But if you have a true passion for it, I'd go for it anyway.

Keep up the work, Bill. You have actually only started. I am also working on a financial site so I have been keeping an eye on you. To be successful with anything you have to follow through. This is true in any business but especially online.

Here are a few thoughts of mine, for what they are worth:

In any business, but especially online, to excel you have to excel! You have to work on perfecting your work until you find a way to stand out above others somehow. Lisa had to work on her site a long time (even in the "early days") before she began to stand out as being better than the others. There are many competitors today (some members here) but people flock to her site, not others, because she is now a lot better than others. It takes time and dedicated work to do this.

In another vein, any field can be successful if you make it so. A part of this is the "niche" and a small one may be easier to succeed in at first, but a more competitive one may be more productive in the long run. Sequencehosting makes some excellent points. One that he touches somewhat is the fact that a lot of financial ads pay quite well. Once you build any traffic at all and can attract the right ads there is a good chance for significant income. But you have to work a little harder to get to that point. Sometimes you have to choose between quick but limited potential or long term and more productive.

Also, as you develop a successful site you have to modify your material and adjust to what you discover to be more effective. This also comes over time. I noted how Lisa indicated that she re-focused her site in response to reader feedback. An important point here for me is that the information you put together is not lost when you do this. You can just reorganize and emphasize your material in different ways. For example, on your site the thing that stands out to me is the selection of calculators. This is very valuable to you so I think you made a good investment. But they seem an addendum. I think it might be possible to make them more the center of the site. I would still have the various articles you have but focus on how you can use the calculators to help in planning and achieving your goals. This could keep people coming back.

That's enough out loud thinking, if not too much. But I would encourage you not to let all the good work to date fall aside. You are doing well.

Hi Bill the Builder:

I looked at you site and it is great! It seems to be more that a business site. It seems like you are trying to help people plan their finances. I looked at you background and it you know what you are talking about. 40 pages is not a lot of page inventory and your site is young. If it were me with all that knowledge, I would hang in there!

I agree with Melva, Bill. All looks great and hang in there but if what you are doing now is not working , change has to be made. 100 backlinks is alot in my world so I am amazed you do not get more traffic. Before investing more in additional pages, I would fix what you have now. What other traffic methods are you utilizing?

Kenna

Thanks for the advice and encouragement everyone. I plan on putting some hours in to clean up and add the last 14 pages. Obviously, I could add more, but I'll focus on promotion and maybe some youtube videos.

Thanks

I don't think it matters how saturated a niche is. If that is what you have a passion for then go for it. There is always something you can do that is better than the next guy. You gotta think outside the box and get creative. Google is the top search engine site but if you created a site that could find exactly what someone was looking for without them even typing anything. I bet people would go to your site rather than google. I know it seems kinda unrealistic but just an example.
