What Niches ?

Convert the best for the end user ? In other words what are the best niches you can advertise for a few bucks per click (maybe less) and turn around and make huge profit. Like Rob Grant was pointing out about Real Estate domains they are in a whole other league because a 75 cents click can result in a Sale of a 250k+ plus home. So the end user is getting a hell of a deal where the Domain owners are shorting themself's severely because they are literally getting penny's ( if they only count on ppc ) while the agents and brokers are banking serious money. So from my observation you want to be positioned in certain niches where the end users are making big money off the leads/clicks you can send them so that you are in a great position when it comes to negotiating commissions/partnerships or outright selling.

is it really that black or white?

why should a domain owner get paid more than a few dollars for real estate vs any other product or service?

it is only a click, it's not like they are clicking buy-it-now, there are many mouths to feed in the food chain between a ppc click and completing contracts on a property sale.

IMO they only deserve to get paid more if they put themself in a position to get paid more. Leads for Loans are worth more then leads for Landscaping or Loafers. But I totally agree with you that there is a whole hell of alot of things that have to transpire between the click and the close. I was just asking what other people felt were great niches the End Users make nice profits so that you can guage where you want to be vested so that you can negotiate your leads commissions or sales better because there is more money involved.

Take the cottage rental business, for example. It's huge in Finland. I run an affiliate site with a link to a cabin reservation system. I get paid 10 EUR for every booking. But I am not allowed to advertise my domain with Adwords, although spam would be ok (haven't tried it, but it is allowed). The company behind the program does run Adwords campaigns...

10 EUR per booking is like 0.5-1% commission (really crappy), as the sales are usually between 1-2k EUR. Could I negotiate a higher rate? Probably not, because this program is the only affiliate program in Finland for cottage bookings, and it's only for one particular ski resort. The cottage rental industry itself is nationwide and full of small, independent cottage owners. Many players are trying to consolidate it, unsucessfully...

If I could negotiate 10% commission on this program, I'd be happy as a pig in shit. However, the site is profitable and has zero maintenance, so maybe I should stop complaining...
