What works the best on internet besides sex, gambling, games, news ? I was thinking about a software website, or a cheat code website, a lyrics website, a book website, a web directory.... What do you think? Cheat code website good idea ? Lyrics website ? ... ?
Lyrics website is not a good idea: search this forum for copyright issues related to lyrics websites.
it's almost impossible to come at the first page for lyrics site..They are well established. Think Unique.
I've had a handful of ideas floating around in my head, especially lately. One of which I am going after, the others, I'm saving for a rainy day. But, do you think anyone is going to give away any really good ideas here in a forum post? Probably not. Keep in mind, people are selling inventive sites in the Trade SEction of the forums though, saw a few that were pretty unique ideas.
There are heaps of directories, cheat code sites and gaming sites. Re lyrics site, it would be good if you could create a niche. Ex: When someone searches for "Guantanamera" for example which is a Spanish song .... you display the lyrics in Spanish as well as the translations. i.e: Don't create a Lyrics site, create a lyrics site solely for foreign songs (With translation in english). This is just one idea. You should focus on creating a niche and offer something that others don't so that you get repeat visitors as well as referrals via email or word of mouth.
No worries, irka. Thanks for the rep. It's gray for some reason. Does anybody know what grey rep means: not red and not green??
Viral websites do extremely well, just look at MySpace.com which absolutely took off. I have seen a few free forum hosting sites take off in a pretty big way if used correctly. Also recipe type sites where users can submit their own recipe's aswell. And rate them. Brad
i sent green, but it's gray because i'm at an unknown quantity at this point lol. Thats a good idea but i was thinking about that, if for example i open a download software website tomorow. How long does it will takes to have more than 1000 soft to download and rank well on search engines? I think software websites got huge potential
Yes, they do. Like download.com. You can get lots of traffic, so revenue from PPC advertising or banner ads. PLUS, you can also earn commission on software sold through your site. The only thing you need to consider is that for the amount of bandwidth and hosting space you need for a successful software site, it might be best to host the site yourself or eventually get a managed server somewhere.
Yeah i think the biggest problem here is hosting. But that's an idea, i'll make some research to see how much it costs and how much to invests if starting up a software site.
