What’s the hardest niche you’ve ever tried to rank in?

Back then, one of my broad niche websites caught a finance gold nugget keyword related to insurance.

The search volume was only around 110 clicks/month, but that single keyword was making me around $6–7 per day from Adsense. I literally didn't build any backlinks to the article, but somehow it ranked at the top for that very competitive finance keyword.

These two finance and gambling have been the toughest niches.

Hey everyone,

I have been wondering this lately what is the hardest niche you have personally tried to rank in through SEO?
was it because of competition, backlinks, google updates, YMYL rules or something else?
also curious how long it take you to see results and what actually helped to improve rankings.
I want to hear real experiences from tough niches like finance, health, SaaS, crypto or legal.

Health and finance have been the toughest for me because trust and authority matter so much. Progress was slow, but publishing genuinely helpful content, strengthening internal links, and earning quality backlinks made the biggest difference over time.

For me, SEO work in the news field is the most challenging task.

Especially when reporting on high-value subjects like automobiles, start-up websites struggle to even appear in Google News channels, let alone Google Discovery channels. And these two channels happen to be the most important sources of traffic for the news industry.
