be impossible to compete with dictionary.com...maybe you could think of another use?

$10

$250 maybe more - this is a nice name!

I think a really simple way to generate a high level of search engine traffic would be if you built an online dictionary. If you structured it well you could appear in a vast number of search queries. Just because you're not competing with dictionary.com isn't really the point, you would still get lots of traffic.

This would of course be a great name for such a website.

I agree with revsorg - build an online dictionary, then find something unique to add to it that dictionary.com doesn't have.

Maybe allow other webmasters to do remote lookups on your dictionary via scripts or something, so they can take advantage of it on their site in return for a link? This would help build the search engine ranking. Add crossword puzzles, word-of-the-day mailing lists etc as well.

good luck!

thx for the input. Really I think there might be alot of people/companies that would like to try and compete with dictionary.com.

Actually there are an extreme amount of searches for "online dictionary" every day. I also think it will have nice type-in traffic, we will see.

The question is how to make money from the traffic, any ideas? Selling books?
