A niche website is a website that is very focused on specific topics. In fact, you are looking at one right now. There are many benefits of using niche websites as traffic nets. You get traffic from niche websites, possibly increasing the readership on your main website. Your main blog, may cover several topics at the same time. For example, Internet Business talks about different subjects around the generic category, Internet business. I create websites like this one to direct traffic from this website to my main blog.

Niche websites almost guarantee to build up traffic over time because search engines like and favor niche websites. For example, for two websites with similar on-page and off-page search engine optimization, if you build a website focused on the topic "catching white sharks", you will most likely get more search engine traffic, for the search term "catching white sharks", than the other website with content related to catching various sharks.

For example,

A website about fat and weight loss with hundreds of mini sites focusing on keywords such as Belly Fat, Stomach Fat...etc.

The main blog brings in a steady flow of traffic from search engines for a blog focused on a generic topic - "fat and weight loss". The blog is catching the traffic for the search terms Belly Fat, Stomach Fat, Double Chin, Back Fat, Upper Arms Fat or Bat Wings, Thighs Fat, and Booty Fat, The blog has articles related to those terms. What if, you have your primary blog catching traffic for all keywords, and have secondary niche blogs catching traffic for each specific keyword? .
