Today I’m going to show you the top 25 niches that you can target to get high volumes of traffic on Google.  If you are doing any type of business on the internet, you already know how much traffic can be a crucial 500 lb Gorilla when it comes to generating leads and sales.  Now … what if I showed you the top 25 niches that I’ve personally created websites on, to pull in high volumes of traffic on Google.  Would this interest you? … Of course 🙂

When it comes to ranking websites on Google, it’s starting to get harder and harder to get ranked for those “evergreen” niches.  Most of us get discouraged when we work hard on our SEO sites and see little to no results … Believe me, I’ve been there and did that.  When it comes to SEO nowadays and getting traffic to your sites, you have to be a little bit more proactive in finding different niches that are highly popular and no one would even think about.  What I’m going to give you today is pure GOLD and some of these niches have made me hundreds of dollars per day in automated revenues.

Believe it or not, you don’t always have to go for the evergreen and hard competitive niches out there. There are literally hundreds and thousands of different niches that people STILL search online today and you just have to use your creativity.  I’ve had a few of these niches produce up to $9k+ per month in earnings because I was doing 2 things :

#1 – I was targeting the right marketing with little competition

#2 – I had the right offer for this market to solve their problems

You need to be able to solve people’s problems in order to take a slow site to being a highly successful site. Even if you have 100 visitors per day, you can still target the right offer to those visitors that are highly engaged in your contents. I would rather have 100 people who are highly engaged in my contents and will eventually turn into a buyer lead than 100,000 visitors that are untargeted and turn up to becoming 0 sales.  Zero sales out of 0 is still … ZERO.

The secret formula to making money with select few niches

Step #1 – Find a niche that is catered to a specific pain in your market

Step #2 – Find a solution for that particular market (an offer / service). You can find such offers in different places online such as offervault.com / clickbank.com / cj.com / shareasale.com and many other affiliate networks and programs out there available.  Just search on Google “niche + affiliate” or “niche + offer” (replace the word niche, with your niche of choice)

Step #3 – Provide that service to your audience in specific niche markets for optimal results.  You can either put them through an email autoresponder or a series of landing pages and a funnel to get them to purchase your product. My best route has ALWAYS been to building an email list so that you can continually send them relevant offers and multiple offers throughout the life of the lead.

The point of this blog post is to open your eyes and show you that the world out there has a TON of great ideas and great niches with little to no competition (especially if you have a great offer already set).  There are even niches out there that will show you how to “get more gold” in an online game and how to conquer your enemies an win games faster which makes 6-7 figures per year.  As long as you have the traffic and the solution to your visitor’s problems, you will see great results come out of it.

It would also be a shame to write up this blog post without showing you a service that my team and I have developed over the course of 6+ years to perfect for you. I have been building these authority sites for myself as well as for clients for many years now and we have done extremely well for myself .. (See image below of just 1 day’s earning with Adsense)

Check out the screenshot above showing $1,044 in earnings in just one day from these out of the box niches I’ve just showed you.  When you’re targeting these niches out there, you can easily grab massive amounts of Google traffic and conquer your market.  You really just have to think OUTSIDE the BOX and find GIANT communities that have a huge following (but no one is targeting) …

Once you find these niches, start building your authority site and start dominating multiple page #1 rankings on Google for search terms you would not even have thought about.  There are literally billions of searches on Google every day and this is why I’m not afraid to share these niches with you!  I’m not afraid of the competition or scarcity of these niches, because the market is just TOO BIG.  I’m targeting for niches that NO ONE would ever think about and that’s because of the out of the box mentality that I’ve been focusing on.

It would also be a shame if I did not show you this offer as well.  Some might say it’s a shameless plug, but it’s really a shame if you knew that I was doing this for myself and have not shown it to you …  

If you would like to have stores like these and start generating 100% organic traffic from Google, we have created a service for our clients which we build out Authority sites 100% DFY (done for you).  These sites have been proven to generate traffic, leads and sales for myself and the hundreds of clients we have provided this for.  If you are interested in these stores, you can visit our Authority site services here.

What I would recommend even if you do not take our services, is that you go out there and find specific niches that you can be an authority of and generate contents for.  Once you have dominated your market and have become an authority in that market, you need to attract your website visitors with offers that will help them SOLVE their PROBLEM.  Remember … you don’t always have to go for evergreen niches such as diet / health / skin / fitness and do what EVERYONE else is trying to do.  It’s always good to also have your own mindset and think of new ways to generate traffic in different markets.  There are millions of people out there looking to find a solution for their problems. If you can gather these people who have problems and give them a solution to their problems, that’s where you will find success.

Accurately tracking Facebook ads in Google Analytics consists of two primary steps:

1. Clearly defined and consistent UTM Parameters so that you can identify Facebook traffic in Google Analytics
2. Import cost, impression, and click data into Google Analytics so that you can map platform and session data

Analyzing performance holistically can be a daunting task given that Facebook and Google don’t always play nicely together.

But as a data-driven marketer accurately tracking Facebook ads in google analytics is crucial to understanding campaign performance.

So let’s explore a method for efficient Facebook ad tracking after we take a look at the current problem.

Tracking Facebook Ads in Google Analytics is Time Consuming

Reporting works well within the confines of one specific vendor.

Google products, for example, work well together in that they allow the linking of Google Analytics (reporting) and Adwords (advertising platform), enabling one to see all data seamlessly in a single reporting interface.

Although Facebook has become a prominent advertising platform, it does not, like Google, have a diverse product portfolio and does not provide reporting outside of platform-specific metrics.

Note: Facebook does provide a reporting and Analytics Tool that is worth exploring.

Since there is no way to seamlessly connect the two platforms, what are our options?

• Analyze and report on each platform separately
• Map the data in a spreadsheet
• Perform manual exports & GA custom imports

All of these options, even with a sound system in place, can be extremely time-consuming, taking away from analyzing and optimizing campaign performance.

In this article, I will go over three available Google Analytics features that you can leverage when tracking Facebook ads in Google Analytics:

1. Data Import
2. Calculated Metrics
3. Custom Reports

It Starts with Proper Campaign Tagging

Let’s go back to the beginning.

When setting up Facebook campaigns, many digital marketers use the Google Campaign URL builder to generate UTMS that look something like this:

/http://easyautotagging.com/?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=Spring%20Launch&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=lifestyle%20image

Aside from the manual effort required, there is nothing wrong with this approach.

That said, defining the source as ‘facebook’ and medium as ‘cpc’ provides limited insight into audience/targeting performance.

Using Available Facebook Campaign Fields

There is a more straightforward way to tag your URLs without having to come up with a unique naming convention for UTM fields.

The easiest way to tracking Facebook Ads in Google Analytics is to create unique naming conventions for your Facebook Campaigns, Ad Sets, and Ads that you then use to tag your UTMs respectively.

Below is an example of what the UTM fields and their respective Facebook values would look like:

Campaign – “Campaign Name”

Source – “Facebook” or “Instagram”

Medium – “Ad Set Name”

Ad Content – “Ad Name”

Note: Using Ad Set Name (read audience) as the medium value can mess with your default and/or custom channel grouping in Google Analytics. You can either modify your channel grouping or map custom parameters to custom dimensions.

There are two ways you can go about tagging your campaigns:

Bulk exports/imports via the power editor

EasyAutoTagging which automates tagging all of your Facebook campaign ad URLs

I go into details of how you can do this in How to Track Granular Facebook Campaign Performance in Google Analytics.

Linking your Google Analytics Account

So, how can you see this data in Google Analytics?

First, we have to import Facebook campaign cost, impression and click data into Google Analytics in one of two ways:

1. Manual Import
2. Automated Import

Option 1: Manual Import

Without EasyAutoTagging, you are limited to exporting Facebook campaign data daily, weekly, or monthly, then manually importing it into Google Analytics via Data Imports.

First, go to your Facebook accounts Ads Manager and  select your desired date range:

Select the Ads tab across the top and Go to Columns and Select Performance and Clicks:

Customize columns and add Campaign Name, Ad Set Name, and Ad Name:

Click Breakdown > by time > Day

Select the campaigns you would like to import and export these to a CSV file:

Open the CSV and delete all columns except:

Day (Reporting Starts), Amount Spent, Campaign Name, Ad Set Name, Ad Name, Impressions, Link Clicks

Once you have these cleaned up, head over to Google Analytics and go to Admin > Data Import

Select your cost import dataset. I go into the detail on how to set up cost, impression, click DataSet in Setting Up Cost Data Sets.

Copy and paste the headers into your CSV respectively of column values.

For source, you need to manually add the source as Facebook and/or Instagram depending on campaign/ad set placement.

Format the date column from 5/3/2017 to  this 532017

Your final results should look like this:

Go back to Data Imports in Google Analytics and click on manage uploads > Upload File and upload your CSV doc.

Option 2: Automated Daily Import

With EasyAutoTagging’s GA Connector you can easily link your Facebook campaigns to Google Analytics using the same UTM values assigned when generating URL parameters.

Just follow the set up in How to Track Granular Facebook Campaign Performance in Google Analytics

With automated daily imports of your Facebook campaign data, you can now generate detailed insights across platform metrics, and session behavior in a single location when tracking Facebook Ads in Google Analytics.

Ok let’s get started:

Log in to EasyAutoTagging.

Create a new connection group and connect to your desired Google Analytics and Facebook accounts.

Click continue.

Next select your Google Analytics Account, Property and DataSet and define your Parameter Values. (source, medium, campaign, content)

Note: You can choose a pre-defined or enter custom parameter values. To ensure proper mapping, please make sure that you import parameter values exactly match your defined UTM parameter values.

Assign a name and save the Connection Group.

Note: If you do not have a data set created you need to create one in Google Analytics first. You can see how to do this in Setting Up Cost Data Sets

Once you saved the connection group, you can add facebook campaigns as needed.

You will get notified via email once the initial upload of all campaign data to date has completed and all connected campaigns will continue to import data daily.

Seeing the data in Google Analytics 

Ok, now that we have all campaigns tagged and are tracking Facebook Ads in Google Analytics, where can we see our Facebook ad analytics?

Let’s start with two default views that Google Analytics gives us:

Campaign View

In the campaign view, we can see an overview of campaign performance.

For more granularity, we can add secondary dimensions to see ad content or source/medium breakdowns.

Cost Analysis View

The Cost Analysis View shows cost, impression, clicks, CTR, CPC, and some primary on-site metrics on a campaign and/or source/medium breakdown allowing us to analyze platform alongside sessions data.

Both of these views, although isolated from each other within Google Analytics, can already provide a wealth of insights, but let’s take tracking Facebook ads in Google Analytics one step further with Calculated Metrics and Custom Reports.

Calculated Metrics

Google defines Calculated Metrics as follows:
Calculated Metrics are user-defined metrics that are computed from existing metrics and drive more relevant analysis and enable greater actionability without leaving the product.
Ok, so here are a few example metrics that we might want to see in our reports.

Note: Keep in mind that one can only create 5 calculated metrics per view in the standard Google Analytics version.

CPV – cost per visitor (this will always be different than CPC since many platforms have a clicks to session drop off up to 25%)

Goal

CP Goal

Goal Conversion Rate

Let’s get started…you can find calculated metrics in your Admin section

Add a new custom calculation, call it CPV and define the formatting type as Currency (Decimal):

Enter the formula and click Create:

Do the same for your specific goal conversion rate and cost per conversion. In this case, we will use engaged user.

Now that we have the custom calculations in place, we can go ahead and set up our custom reports.

Custom Reports

Having all data aggregated doesn’t mean you have to use Google Analytics for reporting – it just makes it easier to pull all your Google Analytics Facebook data from one place.

But for the sake of this article, let’s stick with custom reports within Google Analytics.

Let’s go ahead and set up a custom report.

Go to Customization and click create a New Custom Report

Select a Flat Table and add:

Dimensions:

Campaign | Source / Medium | Ad Content

Metrics:

Impressions | Cost | Clicks | CTR | CPM | CPC | CPV | Session | Engaged Users | CP Engaged User | CR Engaged

Apply Filters as needed:

Select your view:

Label the report and hit save.

You can now see all of your campaign platforms and on-site data in one place.
