What's the best way to monetize this domain?

6 replies
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. I've been lurking on here for a while, always searching for that next best thing, as I'm sure you all do too. I'm going to school for web development and have become very interested in SEO and internet marketing. I have recently bought travelatl DOT com because I believe it has potential. My question is, what suggestions do you wonderful people have for me as to what I should do with it? Maybe I should say what's the best possible way to monetize a website with a name like this? City Directory? I'm just not too sure where to start and need some direction. There seems to already be a decent city directory with atlanta DOT net. Thank you all!

    Here are my initial thoughts

    1. Make a list of several ways a visitor may find Atlanta a cool place to visit.
    2. Do keyword research based on your guesses.
    3. Create categories based on your research
    4. Create articles for each category
    5. Promote the articles and see what sticks.
    6. Based on your traffic data- decide which direction to build out further
    7. Take your data to local businesses and sell them ad space (you will make MUCH more than Google or Taboola this way)

    If you are looking for something passive, patch it up with chitika or adsense..
