As the title suggests, I have come up with a new idea that would enable the webmasters to effectively market their websites at very low price. 1) The idea behind the website. The site is based on the idea that increadible amounts of time are being wasted by bored people who mindlessly surf the internet hoping for a way to reduce their boredom. Most of the time they wander into websites that are of little or no use, before they get to the site that is interesting. This site would help customers override the useless, spam sites and direct them to interesting sites. 2) How would this website work? This site would contain the websites that are interesting and useful, along with reviews of the sites. And getting to the point. 3) How would this website be helpful for the webmaster to effectively market his/her site at a cheap price? If the site is geniunely interesting and useful, but the site has not got the resources to actively market it, this site would be the place for them. In addition to receiving huge amounts of traffic, it would also gain respect, as it would not have been included in the site had it not been interesting and useful in the first place. By being added to this site, the webmaster does not have to spend money and time fighting over the sites that are useless or mere spam. What do you guys think of this idea? If you are a webmaster would you agree your website to be reviewed? Remember the review would also contain negative comments about your website, but only a couple, since if it has too many it wouldn't be listed on the website in the first place. The site would mainly rely on backlinks and free advertisement to succeed. Would you agree to backlink this site? Remember this site contains good reviews about your site, therefore even if a customer clicks the link, leaves the site and visits this site, he/she would be exposed to the positive review of your site on this site, therefore might ultimately come back to your site. This is my first idea of the New Year, hopefully a successful one. Best Regards, Surfup
This niche is filled already filled with directories that aren't made by link farms... there are lots of specialized portals online.
Good on you for trying to think of new ideas but to be honest there are already lots of sites like this and they dont actualy offer any real benefits apart from a few random hits. If you can some how make it unique then you may be able to make something work. Think outside the box
Trust me , soon you will find it tiring to maintain this website of yours . Especially promoting it . And all the income you have is from a few advertisers . Just think of how many people will submit their website to your site and then you will have to sit and write reviews for them .You cannot appreciate any website because they paid you . Your visitors will visit the site and find less value than you mentioned . This will annoy your visitors and once your credibility is gone , you are left alone with few visitors and there goes your advertisement revenue also. You can pick up a script to let webmasters write a review for their own website but that fails the purpose of your site of honest reviews . Very few of your visitors will write a review for a website , if you ask them to review a website they visit . They will do it only if they are really pleased . This will lead to all traffic to 1 or 2 sites and then people may not also submit their website to your site because of the tough competition .There goes "Promotion for cheap" . To promote the site and build a database of sites , you would not like to ask for a payment for review at the early stages of your website . Here starts a loop to my first point in this post . "Trust me , you will soon find it tiring to maintain ..." If you really want to make this website , then be prepared for long months of free work on your part . Even the large websites which have followed a similar idea have still not asked any payment for reviewing the website . Example hotscripts.com You can submit any of your script to them and it will be added in the list after a review of their own for guidelines . And the addition is still free. How long has that site been around ? I don't want to discourage you but as the saying goes , "Think the worst and hope the best ". Regards jeet
