Patent is a word that I grew to love more and more, as I played around with this niche. Patents are expensive. They just are. The reason for that is that you have to hire a patent lawyer in order to file a patent. Patent lawyers are even more expensive than regular ones. (Actually, you don’t really need to hire a patent lawyer, if you know the process well).
Ok, so you have an idea or an invention you want to patent (silly me, ideas can’t be patented). The first thing you have to do is the patent search. Patent search is a process of reviewing all current patents on file, to make sure someone didn’t patent your idea years earlier.
There are two ways you can perform a patent search. One is to hire a patent lawyer. He or she won’t do the search themselves (they’ve got low paid helpers for that). And another way to do it is to perform a patent search yourself … online. Yes, you absolutely can do that. If you still don’t want to do it yourself, you can hire a specialized patent search company. That’ll cost you about 1/3 of the patent lawyer fees.
After that you have to file a patent. The choice, once again, is yours. A patent lawyer or you. After you register your patent, you are set to go. This is when you can file a crapload of patent infringement lawsuits. And that’s another great AdSense niche (patent infringement) that you should know about.
In order not to violate Google TOS, I rate niches with my own star system. ** – $0.20-$0.30 per click average, *** – $0.30-$0.50 per click average, **** – $0.50-$0.70 per click average, ***** – $0.70-$1.20 per click average. While I don’t mind sharing information on ***** niches, I don’t make this information publicly available because it would quickly kill these niches or get Google pissed off at me.
All AdSense niches were tested by me personally and your results shouldn’t be very different, unless your account was smart-priced, too much time passed since my testing, MFA got a hold of the niche or your site or traffic source sucks big time.
