Yes. The aim is to each have a somewhat unique niche within a common broad category. This way our links to each others sites will seem to fit in when google analyzes the pages.
Just as a couple examples...
If the category was making money a couple niches could be
1. Starting a small business
2. A sample investment portfolio (tracks the investments additions/subtractions)
3. Real Estate Market news
4. Using adsense to monetize a site
etc...

For sports you're right its more obvious, just pick any random team or player and build a site around it.

I think any of these categories could work.

El Diablo,
You are correct. Depending on how many people we get, we may have to select two categories or try to broaden the selection. Right now I don't think we'll have that problem, but who knows?

I think that sharing some traffic will be nice, but the beauty of this idea is sharing ideas. There are many ways to approach making a sucessful site, and we will all have good and bad ideas. If we execute and share results of our theories on our sites and share the results, we will save time and money on efforts that don't work.

max,

I don't have time to be involved in this right now, but I'll check in and offer any advice I can as you guys get going. I think this is an excellent idea and look forward to seeing the progress.

max are you gonna be posting some timetables here? like have domain names ready by sunday and choose a webhost within 1 week. this might help to keep everyone on the same page for the most part. of course it's not a hard deadline by any means but may motivate some people to get things done.

also will we be focusing everything in this thread. it might help to do 1 thread for choosing domain names and registrars. another thread for choosing webhosts and content management systems. another thread for initial content... you get the idea

[ QUOTE ]

I personally love video games, I doubt everyone will, and I think we should choose a topic that all members will be interested in and passionate about learning. Since this is a business forum built for a bunch of poker players, I think money making is probably the best way to go.

Yeah, except do we actually know anything about making money on the net? <grin>

As to the linking....doesn't having lots of outlinks reduce your google pagerank?

Money making sounds like the best of those, though I'd be interested in any of them except sports.

wmspinger,
This is something that I don't know and we will need to research a little bit. There are some pretty big sites with lots of links out, so it may have to do with the ratio of incoming to outgoing. I don't know. I am sure the google method is proprietary, and no one knows for sure. However google also isn't the only search engine out there and a lot of pages have higher rankings in one place versus another. The goal is to get near the top of the search results on google, MSN, or Yahoo. Then you've got it made as far as traffic.
