    But I don't know what yet.

    Looking for ideas of what type of site I should create with any specifics regarding SEO, Marketing, Graphics, Products to sell, etc that you have in mind. At the end of the contest I will judge the idea I think is the best and award the $20.

    Zebratails.com is a rather random domain however I would connect Zebra with black and white (simple) so I would say a search engine news site?

    Zebra Tails could be a blog that has a template with the colors of the Zebra and each of the blog post could be identified as a Zebra Tail.

    That would be cool.

    Sounds like a fun flash game to me, but unless its very unique it probably wouldn't earn very much.

    Brief Detail:
    Zebratails will be a new educational resource center geared towards kids; where elementary school teachers and parents can learn interesting facts about animals, but also read interesting stories about animals that can be generated randomly using javascript or other coding languages, or can be personally written stories. The tales will be divided into age groups so parents and teachers may choose a tale that is appropriate for their reading level. The website may also contain coloring book sheets, word games, and more. Adding a teacher section will allow you to introduce games for teachers that they may use in reading and writing classes to improve students reading and writing skills while making it fun. Print view sheets are a must.

    SEO:
    You will use keywords based around zebras, animals, learning, education, and reading. The keywords will apply on a basic, but direct level. Try using relative keywords that are unique and not used much, like tales.

    Marketing:
    You will market the site as an educational and fun website experience for children. You want to introduce the benefits that are available to parents and teachers. It can become a classroom resource website that will provide a fun approach to learning.

    Graphics:
    You should use the colors black and white of course, but you don't want to bore children with a dull and plain website. Adding the color red into your designs will provide you with the right amount of depth without detering teachers and parents with an overly bright atmosphere.

    Products:
    If you want to offer products in the future you may, maybe even look into workbooks that teachers can buy with the rights to make copies for classroom use, but I would try and promote a lot of free resources.

    I think this is a good approach, if you do decide to use this approach, and need help with my ideas feel free to contact me.

    I personally think you can turn it into anything. It's not about the domain, it's about how you use it.

    To be honest, I wouldn't know how to use it.

    I can see a nice monochrone site, focus on the colours - black and white and then accentuate them...

    Two extremes, two sides to every story...

    A social networking site where members debate two sides of a concept, issue, belief or thing...

    Boxers or Briefs?
    Dogs or Cats?
    Carnivore or Veggie?
    Political left or right?

    Couple it with a voting system, use a nice cartoon zebra with his tail as a pointer toward which side of the debate is winning and you're sorted + your members are providing your content (just like dp)....

    Actually, I quite like that sound of that for myself;)

    and the BBC Roar website (animal related and it is supposed to be good- Not that I play on games like that)

    Looking for clean entries only. Thank you to all entrants. I think the contest has had sufficient time. There are two ideas that I think should win: Mike S. with his in depth idea and darkblade with the animal encylopedia idea. I have sent PM's to both,$20 each.

    Thanks again for entering.
