Free Unique Content: Themed Restaurants

September 12, 2008 · Filed Under Domaining, Free Unique Content, Niches · Comment 

IMaid CafeThis is a pretty small niche, but interesting nonetheless.  Web Urbanist has posted 15 of the strangest themed restaurants.  And when I say themed restaurants, I’m not talking Hard Rock Cafe or Rainforest Cafe.  I’m talking cosplay and vampires.

This is an international list.  In fact none are in the U.S.; most are in Asia.  However each one of them would be a small but unique addition to a travel or geo site.

If you’re going to Tokyo, you simply must check out Cannibalistic Sushi, Maid Cafes and the Vampire Cafe.  You won’t find these things on any other site.  Ok, you will on Web Urbanist.  But my point is that content like this can help set you apart from the other guy that doesn’t go out of his way to provide interesting content.

Simply grab some pictures, write something up and publish it on your:

  • Geo site of the cities or the countries they’re in
  • Travel site geared towards tourists who would want a story to tell, such as visiting the Hobbit House in the Philippines.

At first glance this list from Web Urbanist looks nothing more than something you would find on Digg, take two minutes to read, chuckle and then move on. That’s because that is where I found it.  But a domainer needs to look at these things from a different angle.  Ask yourself: Do I have any sites that could benefit from this info?

Even if the article did not provide you with any useful into for your sites- say you don’t have any international geo or travel sites- you can still apply it to a site you may have.  For instance: there simply must be tons of themed restaurants in every country, right?  Taking five minutes to do a Google and Digg search yielded these:

Of course, this wouldn’t be complete without the movie themed restaurants.

Free Unique Content: Night Clubs

August 5, 2008 · Filed Under Domaining, Free Unique Content, Geo, Trends · Comment 

My first Free Unique Content post was Hotels and Resorts.  I now have Night Clubs.

TrendHunter has posted 18 of the worlds “hippest” night clubs.  Their words, not mine.  Regardless of whether these really are the hippest, any one of these would be great to add to your geo site.

Lets take the Qua Bottle Lounge in Austin, TX.  It’s claim to fame is that its clear acrylic dance floor has an aquarium underneath it.  “So!?” you say?  The aquarium doesn’t have clown fish or turtles.  It has sharks.

SHARKS!

The blacktip reef shark and leopard shark to be exact.

Sure, it doesn’t have great whites or tiger sharks.  But these aren’t tiny by any means.  Blacktip reef reaches 6 feet in length.  The point is that it’s unique and just about anyone would want to see it at least once.

As you can imagine, there are some who are not thrilled about this, mainly PETA.  They have gone after the Qua Bottle Lounge so often and so hard that, it can be argued, THEY are the ones responsible for the popularity of this bar.  I don’t know why PETA cares so much about these fish, but not other fish used in other establishments.

The shear uniqueness of these night clubs can provide you a couple pages of unique content as they are often accompanied by an interesting story, such as PETA feeding its popularity.

This stuff is gold for your geo site.  If you have a geo site focusing on Austin, you should add an article or two about the Qua Bottle Lounge.  Your readers will dig it.

Free Unique Content: Hotels And Resorts

July 27, 2008 · Filed Under Domaining, Free Unique Content, Geo, Niches, Trends · Comment 

Hotel domains and sites have always been in high demand from domainers and end users alike.  There are loads of sources on the net to get lists of hotels and resorts.

But I have something that is truly unique here and you most likely won’t find them on affiliate lists.  TrendHunter has posted it’s 30 Hip Hotels of 2008. If you have a geo site of a location that contains any one of these hotels, you should add a detailed review even if you won’t get an affiliate kickback.  If you live near it, you sould definitely spend a night so you can provide a believable opinion.

People salivate over weird stuff like what is on this list.  Death Star inspired hotel? Sign me up! TrendHunter has more you can view here.

Content like this can help set you apart from the rest of the competition.
