Let's see what I've learned...

I've decided to devolop my 4-lettered .info into a relative site.

My plan for a template (similar to some of my other sites):

CSS / HTML using PHP's require command to manage text.

Top section - title. Domain and the site title

Left side bar - maybe 100px or 10% - internal site navigation (easy navigation to the pages)

Right side bar - 10%ish - adsense, Google, Amazon links

Center - text, I'll try to go heavy with the hkeywords

Bottom - contact info (email in an image), adsense

Right now I have enough content for 5-6 pages of GOOD, relevant, and accurate content. Plus, I would have a page for a friend of mine (who is very well known in this community and knowledgeable) promoting his books.

Forums - yes. phpBB w/ captcha (to reduce spam) and I'll see if I can squeeze a Google search bar and maybe some adsense in there.

I *may* (in the future) devolop a sub-site (in a folder, not a subdomain) in German for this domain (since the sport is German and hugely popular in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and a few other places). I might also do a Dutch subsite.

Hopefully I'll be able to report back with a success story.

Hey,

Can we see the website? I live in belgium so about which sport are you talking ?

 

[Flying Dutchman]

When the sport is so popular probably there are already sites in dutch, german and so on.

Yes, there are definately sites on this subject and I'm sure the ones in Europe are the best and most accurate. Here in the US, though, the sport is getting damaged (along with what's needed in the sport).

I'm trying to bring back what's needed in the sport to what it used to be (what it should be), this is a huge crusade of mine and this is one of the side-projects that I'm doing with it.

To give you a hint on the sport (but not to shout it out), if you know these, then you most likely know the sport.

[Stinos]

Nah, don't know them

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Nee, still don't know:?:

Gotta be "Curling"

NP.

Stinos - what part of Belgium? Anywhere near Mechelen? That city may have a part in the site, (historically) it's played a part in this sport.

Devil Dog - did I mention CANADA anywhere?? :lol:

 

[Stinos]

I live near Antwerp.

But I do know mechelen.
Maybe you mean 'Kaatsen'? Don't know the english word.

Nope and nope.

Antwerp - not far from Mechelen. My wife was in Mechelen earlier this year, I told her to go to Antwerp so she could see where the Battle of the Buldge was (her grandfather was in that battle).

Earlier this year ? So you mean yesterday ? :lol:

And I just don't know which sport you mean.

 

[draggar]

Eh, last year. :lol:
