After some initial success with BANS (check the side bar Ad to grab your copy) I decided to develop some more sites but to speed up the process, I re-used a pre-aged domain.

Starting from scratch can take a lot of time to get your site accepted as something other than a spam site, so I deleted the content from one of my existing sites that makes no money and decided to build that site out into a niche eBay store with the categories in sub-directories and the home page powered by a blog.

The blog will be the power house behind organic traffic to the product pages. I have 5 niche product areas for the site and a list of keywords to cover in the blog posts.

Now I have installed the scripts and done some basic configuration, I need to create a template for the site. This template will have to seamlessly integrate Wordpress with BANs and Adsense. Once this task is complete, I will become a blogging demon for the keywords and look for ways to get links to the site.

As this project progresses, I will report the results here on the blog. Also, I may provide a detailed step by step plan so you can copy my technique for your own niche project ideas.

To get ideas for a profitable niche, you can drill down into the categories on eBay looking for fairly expensive items that attract plenty of bidding activity. Then research the best keywords to use to match these products as category names.
