I had few personal finance blogs, I sold them last year, just because people are nowadays search more in LLM platform for questions rather spending time reading blogs.. we have to focus more on AI models now what people like mosts now..

AI and personal finance are still good niches but they are highly competitive. For new bloggers, local business, niche services, and problem solving topics often offer better opportunities because they are easier to rank and attract targeted traffic.
It seems I have done well in niche topics that are a little boring but require an answer from the audiennce before they decide. Topics such as comparisons, pricing, alternatives, and best for search terms last longer than jst following the current trend of the month.

Digital PR is working better in the AI era. also niche relevant links from high authority sites works great as well.
with expose of ai system there is limitations in traffics on blog pages which are not index with good quality content to rank in serp result for research traffics,ai pages are overwhelmed with traffics in every keyword research with verified optimize data/content.

I'm seeing local business blogs perform better because they're easier to rank, while AI blogs need a unique angle to stand out.

For me pest control as I have a business to back it up.

Micro niches seem to be the cool new thing. It is not working on ai or financial keywords, but on gaining topical authority within a certain niche with somethingg useful to say about a particular problem that works. the niche itself can help, but execution is the key.

The best niche i see is beauty/health . This is at least for me the best that worked
The niche per se is becoming less of a decisive point for me. there were many cases when smaller websites won because of their deep understandinng of particular issues rather than very broad coverage. having an audience that has the intention to purchase something is better effective than niche trends.

That's a good point solving a real problem usually works better than following every trend

Personal finance and local business niches are still solid in 2026 they have consistent search demand and monetize well through affiliates and ads. AI content blogs are oversaturated now, so tighter micro-niches like "AI tools for real estate agents" will outperform broad AI blogs every time.

AI tools & local service niches still thrive; finance is saturated for newbies.

Sometimes the quieter niches end up being the most profitable because they solve real problems

I had better results with niche websites that solve specific user problems rather than general information blogs.
Content quality, topical depth, and smart SEO strategy matter more than the niche itself.

Before committing to any niche off a list like this, search the five or six keywords you'd actually monetise and see whether an AI Overview fires on them. Niches where the money queries still return a clean SERP with ads on top are in far better shape than ones where Google answers above the fold, and it varies a lot inside the same broad niche. "Best budget espresso machine" and "how does espresso work" are the same niche and completely different businesses now.
