There is a greater risk but also a greater reward. You have to pick and choose wisely. Competitive fields are good to get into if you have the money to spend.

I think I'll write that post later on today. Thanks. You just gave me a good idea for a post because it is not irrelevant what ads show up. I think I’ll write that post later on today. Thanks.

How much companies are willing to compete against each other is of no consequence to me. That much can be reflected in the CPC. In fact, I rarely even look at the ads that show up on search results. For me, if the CPC is appealing and the search engine traffic fits within the requirements I've set, then that's enough for me to decide if I should tap into it or not.

Personally I have never figured out how that works and I actually think something is wrong with the stats from Google. Sometimes you can also find some extremely high CPC prices but the advertiser bar shows that there is next to no advertisers. Makes no sense either.

That's what I was confused about. Correct, but you had mentioned, “…there are almost no advertisers paying for the ads in Adwords”. That’s what I was confused about.

That often means that there are a lot more money to be made. The competition that you do NOT want to be stiff is the search engine (organic listings) competition.

Not that that should have any bearing on whether or not you or I should choose that niche. I'm just looking for clarification. If the CPC is low, then absolutely, we shouldn't bother with it. I'd much rather put my time and energy (and possibly outsourcing costs) to other high paying niches. I like what you said about people just following their interests. I can't tell you how many times I've come across niches with great looking numbers, but have nothing to do with my interests -- well other than my interest to make money off of it. :) People can certainly be overlooking such things.
