Is The Genealogy Niche Too Competitive?

Hi all,

I have posted before about my progress, and lack of as well. I have worked hard on my genealogy site but I feel that maybe my chosen niche is, well, quite competitive.

I am not going to quit on it though, far from it. I have built something that I am extremely proud of and I believe it will become popular in time. It will just take longer than I initially had hoped for.

What with work, family and other commitments it is difficult to create an online business and maintain it. I am sure though that this is the case for many others on here.

It is not always easy to keep posting, getting comments, and being social. I have tried to expose my business to the genealogy community but haven't had much luck there.

I have though just emailed professional genealogists telling them that I have featured them and their own blog in a recent post of mine. Hopefully I can get some exposure that way. We will see.

I think part of my problem is my domain authority. At present it is 22/100, although quite recently it was 20/100 and had been for a while. So I am glad that that has gone up.

I am keeping upbeat though as I have got some real money earning reviews in the pipeline, mixed in with some informative posts.

Here is the link to my site if anyone wishes to look at it:
