What is a hot niche site? If you don’t have a clue, don’t yet understand, or don’t believe you are good at building them, perhaps this explanation will help. A hot niche site is a specialized website that provides a specific solution for a specific problem. In fact, while there are many sites of this kind on the Internet, there are far more sites that try to provide information on everything. While this is a noble goal, it is not practical because it takes an army of people to maintain an all inclusive website.

A fine example of an effective hot niche site is www.widgetsupply.com. This site not only correctly identifies a specific problem—the need for “widgets”, it also provides a solution that most widget-seekers would find agreeable.

As we stated earlier, a hot niche site focuses on a narrow area, such as a specific type of product. Widget Supply follows this premise by establishing a single theme of widgets, yet this single theme does not prevent Widget Supply from selling a number of different products. The only stipulation is that all of these products must fall under the category of “widgets.”

This hot niche site carries many of the most difficult, hard to find supplies, including rotary tools, premium magnifiers, specialized hobby blades, scissors and other cutting tools, polishing supplies, and much more. Widget Supply also has products from Donegan Optical, Dremel, Fiskars, Flitz, Excel Hobby Blades, UltraOptix, and X-ACTO on its hot niche site.

One might think that putting so many brands and specific tools on a single site would reduce its niche power, but that is not so. On the contrary, it actually enhances the niche value of the site providing the site owner correctly identifies and optimizes each page for a specific product/brand within the overall niche,

Widget Supply also gains credibility from the addition of a customer support utility (a task site owners can now outsource) and its status as a verified BizRate supplier over and above their well-developed niche features. Both of these features significantly enhance the value of this hot niche site.

When you are on the hot niche site, you can access product inventory lists with ease and even read about past e-bay feedback. This increases customer trust—and will increase their chances of book-marking the site.

As your niche sites develop into larger Internet businesses, it is crucial to take a few lessons from sites such as Widget Supply. Not only does Widget Supply follow the standard rules of niche site creation and traffic-generation, but it also adds a touch of personality, customization, and quality-assurance-through-proof. Without these elements, no niche site has the capacity to develop into a profitable online business.
