Ideas For a Website Topic - What Should Your Web Site Be About?

When considering ideas for a website topic for a site that you plan to make an income from as well, you should consider the following:

Is This Website About Something I Have a Passion For That Others Are Interested In?

This should be one of the first things to consider! If you are really into raising dogs, then you should have a website about raising dogs. If you are an antique-car enthusiast, then you should have an antique car website. If you know a lot of nifty tricks for sewing, have a sewing website. If you are into your local sports team, then do a website about that. You get the picture. Since you are an enthusiast, you probably have a lot of ideas and information to offer. There are millions of other people that would like to know what you know. I like helping my friends and family with their websites - that's why I created this one!

Is This Website Specific But Not Too Specific?

Check out my website http://drywallinfo.com . I chose to limit this web site to drywall information only for several reasons: First, it is specific enough that I can offer a site that has something unique to offer done in an in-depth and organized manner. I could have done a general handyman site, but I don't feel I have something of value to offer for all types of handyman jobs. Drywall alone however is something I have mastered, at least at the do-it-yourself level. Second, by limiting my site to only drywall, I can compete with a smaller number of other sites for search traffic. Another consideration for this site was that there are millions of homeowners with drywall on their walls, all of which are potential visitors to my site.

Don't make your site so specific that there is very little traffic! For example, I could have made my site only about dry wall tools and called it drywall-tool-information.com but there are not that many people searching just for drywall tool information. To see how good of a potential audience you will have, you need to use one of several free online tools. Check out the website traffic tools to see how to analyze what type of traffic you can potentially get.

Will This Web Site Make Money Via Contextual Advertising?

This must be considered if you truly want to make money with your website. For example, my father-in-law was ready to create a site on a topic that he had a real passion for. It sounded like a good idea but I told him we should check to see if there was ad potential? I found that there was little potential for ads earning money on his site. To see how this is done using nothing but a simple search, go to the ad potential page.
