I've recently picked up two super easy ways of getting loads of traffic ("almost" no matter what niche) without a lot of extra effort.

Method #1 - There's a lot of "low hanging fruit" on the net where niches are concerned, but almost everybody is teaching, "look for cpc's of at least a buck" - and that's good advice...the higher the ad cost, the more your cut is, so obviously higher is better, BUT...since almost everybody is teaching the "dollar threshold" I've found that if I dip just ever so slightly below it (say, $0.75 - $0.99, almost no one is optimizing for that stuff, and they just fall into your lap amazingly quick...now, bear in mind that there are some economies of scale here...if you go for a niche with 800 searches per month, and an ad cost of a buck, and I go for a niche with 4000 searches a month, with an ad cost of $0.75, it's statistically more likely that I'm gonna come out ahead, even tho my chosen KW is "below threshold" - and that's the key bit...really...I've NEVER been on an IM site (and before I found this place, I read extensively) where anybody was even TALKING about KW's with an ad cost of less than a buck, and that's a good thing! It means that if you take the plunge, you'll have the playground almost exclusively to yourself!

Method #2 - You know, when you're doing KW research, inevitably you'll get results for the times people misspell a keyword (ie - "jewellry" - check it out with MFN... a LOT of people misspell that word!). Trouble is...if you're like me, you're a bit of a grammar Nazi when it comes to your sites, so it's hard to take advantage of the (often bountiful) traffic that gets generated by simple misspellings.

But I started experimenting with Zombie Articles (rewritten PLR stuffs), related or not to the KW at hand...doesn't really matter, as all you want are the links...and trying to rank for those misspellings solely on the basis of intentionally misspelled backlinks, and....it works.

Like a charm does it work! And again (based on the niches I've looked at so far), it appears that almost no one is doing this. If you check out the MOB for almost any KW, you'll find that you only need a very few backlinks to rank for it (now, in some cases, it's funny, cos apparently the misspellings are rampant even with the providers, so you'll find some instances where this is not the case)...but by and large, you'll be able to find new KW's that you can rocket off a few articles for and net yourself some quite handsome increases in traffic, and that's good stuff
