Is This Niche YMYL? (5 Questions You Should Ask!)

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

I'd be happy to answer any questions here! (I always read ALL comments!)

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Its hard to say what the ad potential is for a specific niche. I haven't had a site about programming. But I assume it will be good! But it's just a guess based on that I think people will stay long on the site if they try to learn how to code. Long time-on-site equals higher ad earnings.

Ymyl questions passive income geek. 1. Can I be an expert in this field. 2. Can this be dangerous. 3. Investment like big expensive house. 4. Future happiness health financial stability advice marriage. 5. Neighbours advice.

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Yes, it's kinda fluffy and hard to figure out what they are after... I suppose we will see it get clearer over time.

[@feza8466]

Hi! Thanks so much for this video. Would you consider a niche on natural childbirth a YMYL topic? I have had 2 unmedicated births and would love to share insight and to empower pregnant women to advocate for themselves during labor/delivery. Would this be difficult to rank in?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

I'm sure it will be, unfortunately. You will have to show some real medical experience in order to go after that... I would not recommend that for your first site!

[@feza8466]

@@PassiveIncomeGeek That is really helpful feedback - thank you SO much for your prompt and honest response!

Do you think water(included water products, like dispensers, bottles etc and stuff) is competitive oy is it also included ymyl niche? Plz reply thanks.

[@maggiej4634]

Hi, is self development, how to better yourself, meditation considered ymyl? What about mind mapping?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

I THINK those first 3 are YMYL. Mind mapping, however, that's probably not. But I think you could find less-YMYL topics in most niches. It's not black and white...

Hey Morten! I love your content, truly inspired..! I am planning to start a micro niche blog in travel niche soo...if I recommend hotels restaurants and other travel gears, will that be YMYL..?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Check this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHu2q6ycr81-g9k&ab_channel=PassiveIncomeGeek I don't think it will be YMYL however...

[@NalinS]

Hi morten, would you consider home safety which includes elderly safety, kids safety, kitchen safety as ymyl? Thanks

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Nalin S Yeah, pretty sure it is...

[@melissajenniferbruno5343]

What about the travel niche like a hotel flights cruises?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Well, hard to say. I don't think it's YMYL but if it's specifically targeting expensive tips it might be YMYL....

[@fingerattitude4746]

Hi, do you think that the personality niche is YMYL? Because it's psychological stuff so it can be related to health

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

It's hard to say really. I think psychological stuff and advice is YMYL for sure...

[@michaelgreen9591]

❓Is keto part of the YMYL Ban of health related niches. If so using a blog wouldn’t work because of the google ban. Is this correct or does this mean that the only traffic google will allow is paid traffic or you would have to promote outside of google. Please advise. Thx

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

KETO would be health related, yes. You can still do it but much higher risk of failure, so I wouldn't do it unless you're experienced with niche sites and SEO.

[@michaelgreen9591]

Passive Income Geek gotcha. Thx!

[@effortlessschool]

Amazing video, i really liked those questions you put out.. Btw, my site is about spirituality, is it in the ymyL space?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Who knows, some of it probably is. Test it!

[@FlyinOBIE]

Would a blog focused for finance for college students

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Yeah, YMYL big time

[@altay26]

Hello Morten. Thanks for video. Finance includes make money online niches, right? If yes, those types websites are in dangerous in long term. And also how about e-marketing category? Thanks again.!

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

making money online for sure is YMYL. I guess with e-marketing it depends on the actual topics you'd choose... I can see it go either way.

[@Gambuzino77]

I am planning a website with several categories, but only one category is YMYL. Can one single category damage the entire site? Or will only that category be affected?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

YMYL works on a per-URL basis so the rest can rank just fine 😉

[@Gambuzino77]

@@PassiveIncomeGeek Thank you so much! You just made my day. Cheers!

[@jonathanrice2568]

hi, morten great stuff. i have overcome my anxiety and depression. thankfully i m out that dark phase of life. i was thinking to create a blog. where i can help people. because i have learnt how to overcome mental health for years and for last one year i am medicine free. i know it comes in YMYL list. do you think is there any way for me to succeed in health niche? i am not qualified or certified but i do help people with mental health issues in my community.

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

If this is your first site (or second..) I'd stay away from such a topic. It will be tough to break into! Especially if you're not a doctor. Maybe even close to impossible... hard to say...

[@MrJaffri1]

@@PassiveIncomeGeek you are right. I should avoid this topic. On the other hand I have good knowledge of doing small businesses and some online as well. I enjoy talking business and have actual running business ideas. Should I go ahead with this?

[@InvestLarge]

@@MrJaffri1 Congratulations on overcoming anxiety and depression. It took me 30 years to snap out of it. So I would definitely recommend you blog about the subject even if it is more charitable rather than profitable. I have a feeling many would visit your pages to relate to your experiences.

If I have a blog teaching new Christian’s how to grow in their faith - is that YMYL ?

[@goodfortune4317]

Hey, do you think food blogs, I mean only food recipe blogs, not recipes for weight loss, are considered YMYL or not?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

I think so - in many cases - but you can definitely write content about food that's not YMYL. Like, "Can you grow carrots in your garden", etc. but this is definitely a grey zone! Hard to answer...

[@melodyn6419]

Whether personal weight loss, dieting, gym or exercise belong to YMYL?

[@samiulhaq318]

Hey, I've read all the comments and watch the video very carefully, I have a question I'm no an expert in health science but I want to hire writers from the health field. But still, I have no idea. please help and guide me. can I hire and it will affect my blog/income or not. ?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

I'd say - if this is your first or second site I would not go for a niche wihin YMYL. It takes a lot of good quality links and you might not rank even if you get that. The problem with hiring external experts is that they might not want to link all their expertise to your site forever and that might be a problem if you base your business on their expertise!

[@mdmusharrofhussain5482]

It is possible to outrank Wikipedia and ecommerce sites ?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Absolutely. But it depends on the intention behind the search. If you suspect people are just looking for products (like searching for "best snickers for small feet" - an e-commerce listing would probably do well and could outrank you - but if #1 does NOT have the sorting in the product list, you can beat it. Hope it makes sense.

Is Airsoft (and other “toy-gun” activities) considered YMYL and bad from an ad-perspective?

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Just from having the word "gun" on your site you will probably not be accepted at Adthrive. But Ezoic will probably take you. About YMYL, I don't think so, but it's really hard to say. It's definitely in the borderland of YMYL if GOOGLE isn't smart enough to distinguish between toy guns and real guns, and they might not be able to - always...

[@PassiveIncomeGeek]

Depends on the topics you choose. "Is it safe to ride a motorcycle with X" is definitely YMYL but "Do X gear last longer than Y" etc. will not be. You can often find non-YMYL topics in most niches. Think about whether you would prefer a real specialist yourself, if you were to search for an topic...
