Niche Pickers

Niche Pickers is a browser-based niche research database that indexes 416,517 websites already earning ad revenue through Raptive, Mediavine, Ezoic and AdSense, so publishers can spot low-competition niches worth building in.

What is Niche Pickers?

Niche Pickers is a desktop-oriented web database of 416,517 websites confirmed against the records of four ad networks: Raptive, Mediavine, Ezoic and AdSense. You filter and sort a table of domains by traffic, Domain Rating, age, niche, network, status and traffic source, and it returns matching sites with estimated monthly visits, DR, three-month traffic change and domain age. Traffic estimates come from Similarweb and Domain Rating from Ahrefs, with the dataset refreshed monthly and 29,884 new websites added recently.

Key Features

• 416,517-site index — every entry is checked against ad network records, and the whole database is refreshed on a monthly cycle.
• Per-network breakdown — Raptive shows 6,859 confirmed sites at a median DR 37 and 47k visits/mo; Mediavine 11,123 at median DR 31 and 20k; Ezoic 8,552 at median DR 8 and 12k; AdSense 371,201 at median DR 7 and 5k.
• Multi-field filter and sort — sort by DR, monthly visits, age, three-month change, search share, site type, niche, language, traffic source, network and status, in either direction.
• Confirmed vs unverified status — each network lists confirmed sites alongside 'unknown ads' and 'unverified' counts, so you can separate proven earners from unconfirmed listings.
• Curated starter lists — presets including Low DR high traffic, New sites already earning, Tools that rank without links, Mediavine & Raptive blogs, and Growing fast.
• Rich row data — each row shows domain, ad network, site type, niche, DR, visits per month, three-month change, dominant traffic source with its share, and age in years.
• Free sample rows — a portion of domains is visible without an account; the rest are hidden until you subscribe or sign in.

Who is it for?

• Niche site builders — scan the low-DR, high-traffic preset to find subject areas where small sites already pull millions of visits.
• SEO and content strategists — sort by three-month change to see which niches grew fastest in the last quarter before committing to a content plan.
• Affiliate and display-ad publishers — check which ad network (Raptive, Mediavine, Ezoic, AdSense) sites in a niche qualify for, and at what median DR and traffic level.

What can you do with Niche Pickers?

• Validate a niche before building: filter by niche keyword and read the DR, traffic and age columns to judge whether sites in that space are young and low-authority or already established.
• Find growing topics: sort by three-month change to surface sites posting large traffic gains, such as a site shown at +999% growth with 2.3M visits/month.
• Copy network eligibility targets: use the per-network median DR and visit figures to estimate what a site needs before it can join Mediavine or Raptive.

How does Niche Pickers work?

Pick a curated preset or choose a network (Raptive, Mediavine, Ezoic, AdSense), then narrow the table with the status, site type, niche, language and traffic-source filters. Sort the results by DR, monthly visits, age or three-month change, open a domain, and cross-check its traffic with a second tool using the linked Ahrefs Backlink Explorer or Ahrefs Traffic Checker.

Pricing

Freemium. A subset of domains is browsable for free, while full access to the complete domain list costs 29 dollars per month, with sign-in available for existing members.

FAQ

Is Niche Pickers free?

Partly. Some domains are shown free, but most rows hide the domain name until you get full access, which costs 29 dollars per month or requires signing in as a member.

Where does the data come from?

Traffic is estimated from Similarweb and Domain Rating from Ahrefs, while site status is matched against Raptive, Mediavine, Ezoic and AdSense records. Site types are assigned by an AI model and are not guaranteed accurate.

How often is the database updated?

The dataset is refreshed monthly, and 29,884 websites were added to the database recently.

Can I use Niche Pickers on a phone?

The site states it is best optimized for desktop, so the table works best on a larger screen.

Are the traffic numbers exact?

No. The site warns that all traffic estimates, including Ahrefs and other tools, can be inaccurate, and advises double-checking with other sources before deciding on a niche.
