New Anime Project

[bgmv]

Hi All,

I just acquired an anime related domain that I think would be great for videos/forum type site. THe domain is: Anime-Online dot net - does anyone have any ideas for this or scripts that I could use. My development is limited so if anyone wants to tackle this project let me know.

Does anyone disagree with the development route for this domain, are the keywords sufficient enough for a forum?

I would like to have it look similar to AnimeFuel.com, any suggestions?

Cheers,

Ben

Sounds good for a forum.

Thanks for the response bluearrow - do you know of any forum scripts, obviously VBulletin but is there anything else out there that i can couple with a video gallery where users can post their videos?

mate, anime doesn't give you money, i have one and i have it cause i like, the income is residual - it doesn't even cover hosting expenses per month - but it's my first project/domain ( have several free domains before it but that one was the first i bought ) and it's dear to me

the only way to have income with anime is that you have alot, but alot traffic, adsense keywords are way cheap ( sometimes i get $0.01 per click... ) but not even every network will allow you in.

a forum is a nice ideia, but don't open it to public unless you have loads of content first.

Thanks a lot JFS - do you mind posting or PM me the name of your site so i can take a look? Cheers

Do anime reviews, and find places that allow people to stream anime. Make sure you're able to embed it into your site so you don't have to send people elsewhere. A forum would be the obvious thing to do, but as has already been said, anime is hard to monetize. Put that on top of the fact that forums are hard to monetize, and you're unlikely to make much of anything at all. Try to find a site that sells anime and will allow you to affiliate with them, then sell their stuff. If you bother at all with adsense ads, do it only as a place-holder for the spots your affiliate ads will eventually go. You'll make so little with adsense in a site like this that it'll be pointless to take up the space, and if you use too many ads, it will seem spammy and people will not stay.
