Hey,

I found a micro niche with low competition and Kws of 500 - 800 per month. Would it be worth to start a micro niche site for avarage search volume of 500 - 800 per month with low competition and shitty competition in general?

It's hard to rank micro niche sites.

If you can't write at least 50x2000-3000 word articles + another 40-50 support informational articles then expand and make that micro niche a silo on a slightly bigger site, with say 3 to 5 similar silos.

Google very rarely ranks sites with just a few articles on the entire site, especially if it's just a few money articles.

To rank these days you need to build up topical authority, and that's hard to do with just a few articles.

1+1 = 3. As you grow your site within the same topics, and internally link them together, the grow stronger and stronger.

You're at a big disadvantage with a small site. You need to spend much more on your links and your on-page really needs to be on-point.

This is in contradiction with a lot of other threads that say micro niche will rank better.
I think the same you told, seems broader larger sites are better for Google now. But other people on this forum says this is not true.

If it's low competition it should rank high instantly after indexing. If you want you can shoot it to me in a PM, I'll take a look too.

Show me some of the ones you're talking about and I'll let you know if they're accurate or not or what they're actually saying. It might not be "micro sites".

A true micro niche site, was in the past a homepage, with one main article(2k-3k words), and about 5-10 supporting 500-800 word articles.

You just have to look around now. How many of those do you see? I don't see many.

Large sites don't work that well unless they're done right.

What works well is topically deep sites.

Ideally you want to be able to produce a quarter million to a million words of content on your site.

Here's an example.

camperreport.com

This is NOT a micro niche. A micro niche would be something like..

https://camperreport.com/11-of-the-best-small-travel-trailers-on-the-market-right-now/
"small travel trailers"

You'd do a site about small travel trailers with a few articles. That's a micro niche. It is never going to beat a site like camperreport.com.

Now, it is a big site. But it's not a "big" site. Ie, it's not one of those jack of all trades sites that's reviewing everything. Kitchen review world. Home review world. Tech review world and so on. It's hard to do those. You'll notice that topically deep niche sites will beat even the big general sites like thewirecutter.

"kitchen" is sort of a topical site, but it's too common, so I'm lumping it in the "broad" category.

So in 2020 what you want is topically deep niche sites. Your ideal site is a topic you can write a million words of content in. A mixture of 70% informational and 30% money articles and you've got yourself a winner. Minimum 250k words for a small topical niche site.
