niche information site or deal/coupon site?

which is better?

[dealcraze]

I am looking to start an affiliate site and have read through a few dozen posts over the last few days...

My question is would it be better to have a smaller information site(s) that covers a given niche or a larger site that covers 20-30 categories and offers for hundreds of stores?

heres to success in 2005!

Cheers!

P.S. did anyone "attend" the 1st annual eComXpo, an online "virtual" tradeshow that wrapped up this past Saturday? all the major affiliate networks were there (CJ, LS, BF, etc...) as well as 50-75 merchants such as Dell, Buy.com, Overstock, etc.

well lets say I thought of creating a coupon site too :) I haven't got to it yet.

but the truth is that coupon sites make a bajillion bucks and thus there's real stiff competition out there. It's definitely not the path to quick bucks.
