Content is Key
While I’d love to get my hands dirty on SEO as soon as possible there is one major reason why I won’t: it simply wouldn’t work. As long as there is no relevant content on my websites search engine optimization is useless and a waste of time.
The good news is, that I figured out exactly what type of content I want for my three websites (apart from this one) last night in bed.
django.at is going to be a showcase site for websites powered by the django Framework - users can upload their project URL and add some additional infos. The system will then automatically generate a visual snapshot of the website and create an entry in the database. Users can then rate and comment the different django websites and of course there will be different ways to browse the database. I think it would be cool to have urls such as django.at/tobman.com (ie “django framework is used at tobman.com”) but this needs to be checked for technical possibility.
videopodcast.tv is going to be an online directory for videopodcasts, where user upload their podcast URL and data. Users can then rate and comment the different video podcasts and of course there will be different ways to browse the database.
advertbreak.com is going to be an online directory for funny advertisings, where user upload the link to an embeded flash movie (Youtube works great as posted yesterday) and add some stuff. Users can then rate and comment the different advertisings and of course there will be different ways to browse the database.
If you think I’m a little bit confused at the moment let me explain… those repetitions are the real beauty of all this. Because: the three websites are going to be based on exactly the same principles and therefore basically it will be only required to program one website & copy -> paste!
I will show how this can be done as efficiently as possible over the next couple of days using the magic of cakePHP.
