Hey guys,
what are your thoughts on free stuff niche? I am taking about people who google things like "free stuff by mail" - how, you`d say, old the searchers usually are? I think that more than 80percent of them are females - do you agree with me? Maybe you have some experience with organic traffic for free stuff? Does it convert nicely?
Thanks!

Good luck trying to rank for those keywords. I would say do some serious research and try to break into something with no competition. Personally I would stay away from that niche unless you know where your targeted users reside. Like Calistyle or freelunchroom. Try breaking into those forums and if you do well then expand.

Thanks man but what I am really asking here is to help me identify the average user (Once I used to generate 1000 hits/day from 9year old girls so I don`t want to fry this time) and find out if the niche is still converting well. Cause maybe most of the searchers had already put their emails/zips in multiple forms and all they got was a lame email spam?

i know some guys who had been making 10k usd just through the free samples niche. But they were doing everyday updates with new free samples information. It is an amazing niche to say the least.

This should give you a pretty good idea about your audience. Just compare a few of the major players in the niche with quantcast and you will have enough data to start.

And yes it converts nicely.

Giveaways can be a good niche, you just need to be able to actually "Giveaway" what you promised the end user.

If you're offering "FREE iPhone 4's!" you need to be able to prove that you have a stack of 500 iPhone 4's lying around the house that you want to giveaway... which I know everyone has

All the best.
