I have a question .. I'm trying to create a site, but I don't know what type of site will get traffic.. Ive had a couple ideas , but they were stupid and no one would go to it but me I don't want a site with a topic thats broad or used a lot.. I just need a unique topic that will bring in visitors .. . Also, whats popular these days.. besides myspace, yahoo digg, and all those sites ..Tell me what kind of site you like to visit .. Any help is appreciated! - Thanks
Basically just social networking sites, their the most popular sites along with arcade/ video sites. TBH there are so many niches out there, just make a site you would find interesting, you might be surprised by the amount of people who will like it as well
One thing I have no interest in following up but if I was after niche money I might look into is sidelined medical complaints. A member of my family recently had surgery. Small, painful and personal. Worried about the surgery site I went online and found some info sites that set his mind at rest. Most significant was a forum on the subject. There are so many (and I am not talking STDs here) small, apparently insignificant complaints that none the less are of extreme embarrassment or discomfort to the one suffering. So rather than go to the doc what do you do? You surf the web. Shit, I'm talking myself into this now. LOL.
Take a look at lists of high paying adsense words and you will get an idea of what people are looking for on the web. People are making a lot of money for hair loss help, losing weight, travel, overcoming depression, enhance your love life, etc. If you want to make sites like that, the info is out there. All you need to do is some research.
If you are stuck for ideas, you could always look on sites like sitepoint.com and the marketplace on digitalpoint and see what sites people have for sale. you never know what you might stumble across. I've seen sites for sale for less than $500 all with huge potential, so this could take away the hassle of thinking of a brand new idea. -- Phil
