Default Travel Market Oversaturated or...

Hi Stars,

My dream would be to be succesful in Affiliate Marketing and then specially in the Travel Industry (holidays etc). But now my question, is this market oversaturated, so to many people willing to do this, or is there still some space left for a new guy!

I know I would have to find small ( or even very small ) niches to even make a bit of money.

But I can't even find a good domain name, so don't even speak of me finding a great niche to go into!

Any tips/hints would be fantastic!

what offers would you be promoting in the travel sector?

Some basic keyword research should give you some niche ideas.

Dear Rob,

Thank you for replying to my topic.

I have tried some basic keyword research and notice most keywords I can come up with are oversaturated and almost impossible to get in.

Therefor I do not know what offers I would be promoting or even what keywords to go for!

Everything is competitive.

But I can guarantee the best way to make no money, is to not try.

Dear Rob,

I understand and trying ofcourse, since this is what I want ( and if I want something I go for it ). But what I am asking is for some advice, tips, hints or something alike!

what keywords are you looking at?

of course you won't rank for "cheap hotels" (for example)

But I think it would be reasonably easy to rank for "cheap hotels jacksonville" (and another 2000 medium sized, unfamous cities)

In fact the top 10 results for that term are far from impossible to catch. A couple of PR 2 and 3s and none is specifically optimised for the keyword "cheap hotels jacksonville"

Just an idea.

Dear Rob,

Thanks for those keywords and information, it's a great help! I know i'm asking alot but could you perhaps also help me with finding a good domain name for a general travel website? If so please pm me! If not I understand!

thesaurus.com and mydomainfriend.com are your best friends for that.
