The city's name returns on 300,000 results on google. The city's name on overture has a small 1300 searchs per month, but the # of results to search ratio is very good.
With only 300,000 results, competition is sparse, which made it easy for me to bump the site up to #2 on google and #1 on msn and yahoo. Some keywords have 2 million results and only 100 searchs per month, avoid those and look for the good combos.
I later added a forum. This ads search engine depth to other keywords, and brings users back for second looks. With no other place to talk about this city, posts have grown steadily.
My goal is to have 20 such evergreens, earning what amounts to a dividend check each month.
I wrote about a niche that was of personal interest, that happened to have little competition. It is a travelogue of a certain city in Eastern Europe.

Great to read solobrian, you've identified markets I have been trying to get other people interested in but, of course, there is not the volume of the English-speaking markets, at the moment.
Go with your instinct, ensure the quality is 100%, talk to EFV, make sure you have local language content and you have a wonderful niche market.
Writing honestly, if I had had the time I would have done this some 7-8 years ago way before Adsense. The potential is enormous within a rapidly growing market segment.
One thing for any potential entrant...make sure that you do know what you are writing about!

LMAO OptiRex, you scamp you.
FWIW, my wife is just the opposite in that AdSense makes her very little but her affiliates pay like crazy. My affiliates dried up and blew away but AdSense makes a boatload.
You never know, depends on the site.
Congrats solobrian, my wife makes about the same per day on AdSense but a bunch on affiliates so if anything works affiliate wise like hotels, travel, etc., I'd jump on it.
