What is REQUIRED for a niche website in 2022?

[Paniser]

For personal reasons I abandoned my niches almost 1 year ago. They are currently generating about €800 a month on autopilot.

I have suffered a big drop in traffic, plus 2 new websites that I launched a few months ago were not even indexed.

I have read about the update of the authors and the content.

What things do I need to add right now to raise and continue creating niches?

I have thought of an author and a page dedicated to him, social networks and above all adding content. I also used to buy blog links on my theme from online marketplaces, are they still working?

Use 80% info content or around that. Use a expired or aged domain if you can with good pa da. Select narrow niche, niche which has fewer content/niche sites.

at high level, can you share your niche? is it YMYL related?

based on personal observation: google is giving more and more credit to sites that provide trust. So, yes, pages about author, links to external source like their linkedin pages and other authority sites is a big place. T&C, privacy pages are also needed.

what is more: sites that are winning these days, do a better job at addressing user questions and intentions. so you need to go through self-audit: are you delivering on what the user is asking for?

take a look at these:

I have very different niches, courses, technology, plants, etc.

What I do is search for KWs with few searches (the tools often fail and there are more searches than they show). Then I write articles about those KWs and that's it.

In 2 technology niches I have literally lost half the traffic with the latest update. It's also my fault for not posting new content for many months.

Instead, you could alphabet soup to weed out the most prominent ones
And plug it into Google trends to see which ones are popular lately
