Mega site or niche site

[enriqbell]

Hi guys,

I need all of you to answer this-

Which one would rake in more moolah- a mega site or a niche site? I would like to illustrate this with the help of an example. Suppose if I have a mega site about garments. What if I place Google ads on the site along with affiliate products relating to the website?

How about 12 small niche websites pertaining to a variety of products along with ad sense and affiliate products? Which one sounds better? Which one would help me make more money?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was told by an web company that a niche site will hold more weight than a main site for that particular category and will be ranked higher than a main site because it will be practice area specific. Problem is we have a competitor that focuses on one practice area, so his site it loaded with just that specific practice area, which is fighting us for the top spots. Would a niche site help hammer him, or would just devoting more time to developing our main site accomplish the same goal.

A niche site is the separation of the market on which a exact product is focusing, therefore the market niche defines the specific product features meant at pleasing specific market needs, as well as the price range, production quality and the demographics that is intended to force.

A niche site holds more significant than the main site for that specific category. It will be ranked higher than the main site because it is area specific.
