Start with something unique to your genre and stick with it and build it. I know domain name age is the first to be acused in some cases of the sandbox effect, I am glad you pointed out that it is only ONE of many other factors that come into play with that. especially enjoyed the explanation that creating a new site and targeting the largest market of your genre is a bad idea.

The issue has to do with multiple websites for the same client/business. As an example, most of our clients are real estate agents/brokers and mortgage brokers some of which are both. We frequently consult on the best manner to target both markets in the same geographic region with either 1 or 2 websites. If you consider that the two topics are closely related (about homes, home loans...) it would be bennificail to know the best way to address such an issue regarding Google. Considering that if two websites are used there is at least a minimal risk of duplicate content respect the company itself. We face a simalar dilema targeting both the real estate website design market and the mortgage website design market, the simalarities in the two product lines are many yet they are two completley different target markets. Throw on top of this a website for general website design in our local market and you can imagine our concern for at minimum dupplicate content risk. Thanks for your consideration, John Oppenheimer Matt,

I just listed to the 2/8/06 show and Greg and Tom claim that www.linkcondom.com completely disappeared from the index after the show. 24 hours later, it shows up #1. Are you trying to confuse all of us reverse engineers? Come clean, confession is good for the soul. Matt:

I can't imagine that you confused me for a bot, though I have been accused of being indecipherable in the past. I've done a lot to socialize Google Ethics among a community where those messages are desperately needed. I'd be crushed if I had somehow stepped afoul of the very line I have pledged to help others to see. Jack Matt, just curious why you DKed my previous comment here.

Even a site like lightbulbs can still have some info on it. I was recently playing around with some wallplate switches, and I couldn't get the wires to come out. On a hunch, I hit the big G and found out that there's a slot to each side of where the wire comes out, and you have to press a screwdriver or something into that slot to release the wire. If I ever need a new wallplate switch, I'll be ordering it from that small business. So my answer to the question "What about something like lightbulbs? There's not much to say" is "I've always wondered if it's true that oil from fingerprints makes light bulbs last longer. Put that info up on a site along with directions for the best way to remove/insert light bulbs, especially if the light bulb breaks off in the socket." That's a bit of a non-answer, but I do think that lots of niches could still do with more information. Then there's old standby techniques like newsletters, forums, tutorials, contests (but not for links, :) )...
