A few years ago I’ve made a lot of money from developing micro niche blogs and targeting long tail keywords that nobody targeted.
I simply used to develop a lot of content, rank for top 3 positions for every keyword in that micro niche (usually no more then 30) and just living off Google Adsense as well as selling dofollow links or even banners (if I had enough traffic).
As soon as I started losing ranks I would flip the website and sell it to someone else. It was a good system. I used to host my entire web sites on the blogspot platform but having implemented my own custom domains like .com, .net or .info so I virtually paid nothing for hosting, I was hosted by Google. Made things a lot easier when I finally sold the website, I just had to transfer the domain to a new owner and make someone else administrator on the blog’s blogspot account.
Recently I’ve tried doing the same thing all over again. Found a micro-niche on health. My wife had some problems I won’t get into right now, but lets she is good now and I’ve learned a lot of stuff about her problem.
I’ve searched online and found very little information on this subject, all of it scattered on multiple websites. So I decided to re-implement one of my old micro niche blog techniques all over again. Things, I’ve added a few great articles, much bigger than my competition and I never made it past page 2. Were these techniques over-used and now Google doesn’t rank them good anymore or what?
Do you think I should create even more content and invest even more time? Does it all worth it in the end? I think the average monthly searches for all the keywords I can rank for is about 1000 searches. That leaves me with about 300 potential visits per month…
What do you think?

I have a few websites that I treat as niche blogs, but I think they've since grown into flourishing news websites. I have people writing for me, so that makes it a little easier when it comes to creating content. Actually, it makes it extremely simple when it comes to creating content. The only down side is that you have to find people who can write well and not just throw some crap on the page and call it a day. You could go about it by posting your own content, but you'll need to be posting at least once a day to show Google that your website is active. Posting a few times a month won't work anymore because Google only wants websites that are fresh with content to be shown on the top of their search rankings.
Now with micro niches people don't usually go into depth with the content. A lot of times people will even scrape and post spun content in order to generate a ton of pages, but that doesn't work like it use to. With all the updates Google has done in the last few years it's getting harder and harder to rank niche or hobby type sites. If someone is posting for fun on their website/blog every once in a while they do it for themselves and not to make money, and Google knows this. That is why they won't rank very well for short or long tailed keywords.
Treat your micro niche websites/blogs like their your main money makers and Google will boost you in the SERPs over time. I'm sure there is a probationary period to monitor what you're doing and once you're out you'll see a spike.
If you want to make money on the website, and don't have the time, I would hire a VA on the terms that you will split the profits of the website/blog. This way you get content generated and you can run a monthly campaign on the blog/website to increase it's rankings. The method does still work, but you have to put a little more investment into it than back in the day when we could just put up 10 niche blogs and hammer out 10 to 30 pages of content and rank for months :D I have a few websites that I treat as niche blogs, but I think they've since grown into flourishing news websites.
