have been working on this site for almost a year now. Suggestions and reviews as to how diverse(in terms of content) the website can go and any other ideas would be much appreciated.

I am chilled. Just don't like people taking the p1ss. How much time have you spent studying your competitors? brainyquote.com, goalcast.com, goodreads.com, inspiringquotes.us? When you get on page one I'll consider listening to your chucklesome interjections. Until then sort out your S.E.O. son.
Okay being quiet doesn't work it seems, I understand you are an SEO genius, I do have a few more websites that have better rankings and get at least a million visitors a month. Now, this is fairly a new website I work on when I get time so there is a lack of content, understood!!. As said I did not ask about SEO either. AS per O.P's question was all about how diverse the content can get. Not about SEO. Goalcast, Brainyquote, Goodreads(FFS) are not fairly new websites and owned by corporations I mean Goodread seriously? They have been there for ages and they don't rank high for everything and they aren't my top competitors. May be one among 1000's websites that rank for quotes. I didn't want my website to rank only for quotes, that is exactly why I had a question about diversity.

I agree with you. Unlikely to get on page one and therefore gain enough traffic to make enough revenue. Highly likely to get bored and quit. Hope I'm wrong though. It's nice to see a half decent web site for once. Most of what's wrong on @inzo's site is easily fixable in 24 hours. Maybe he or she is playing video games and chilling.
Maybe he is searching for inspiration..
I also have a bunch of sites in development and sometimes I need 1 year or more to get started..
But that's why all my sites focused on my hobby and not on just trendy something..
If the idea is to make a trendy site, I do it within 24 hours...

@redemo Thanks for the review. Yes, I'm planning to keep the website simple and clean. Am no longer using Yoast, and no matter what tool I use for SEO or for the Meta tags. sometimes it gets picked Randomly by Google based on the content. I do keep track of keywords but some of the top keywords are highly competitive. So trying on low competitive keywords and then work uphill.
Oops. I missed this post in all the furore. Why aren't you using Yoast plug-in? Is there a better one? Please share. Cheers. Also you are ranked 28 for Bruce Lee quotes. Let me let you in on advanced S.E.O. for Google image search. Your image file structure is probably the worst file name I have ever come across. Not optimised for S.E.O. in the slightest. You should not be using date-arranged file names. Where are the keywords? bruce-lee-quote-the-more-we-value-things-the-less-we-value-ourselves.jpeg is an optimised file name. Now get to work!

I'm not an S.E.O. genius. Just understand that G has an algorithm with simple rules. If you don't follow the rules then don't expect rewards.

I appreciate the SEO concerns, Yes, it isn't optimized.

I'm just sticking to my question about content and diversity. I haven't been working a lot on SEO or Design. Google's algorithm is sometimes a pain in the arse as well. That is is why I'm looking for content.

What problem are you trying to solve? Maybe you are trying to branch out too far with this site and should instead split it up into multiple web sites? What is your pillar content if not quotes?

I am hopelessly in love with G's algo changes, which are deployed to ward off the evil forces of Darth Vader and The Joker. Everyone complains it's all G's fault. But the simple thing to do is go with the flow and surrender yourself to the eternal hypnosis of the algorithm.

seriously?
then explain to me why after the last google updates, every night at 3:00 (GMT+2) I get at least 50-60 visitors on my news site always from the same place - Boardman town in Oregon... the town with just 3300 habitants... and every day (according to their time zone) 50-60 of them visit my site, different pages but always 50-60 people together at the same time, everyday ritual...
google wisely algorithm?

I'm planning on keeping it to inspiration as the name states, all I would think about is quotes at that point but I'm planning on more than quotes like stories, etc. there are a few on my mind. The initial intention was to bring inspiration (inventions and stories behind them). But went with quotes for now.

You must have a fan club in Boardman, Oregon. Could be the ghost of Samuel H. Boardman is spooking you. Just follow the algorithm rules and you will both be fine.

Might have multiple websites as well. or a subdomain for that matter. or will make use of goodquotes.xyz instead of redirecting it.

How about using your design skills to make 20-second quote videos with inspirational free stock music? Nobody has mastered this yet. One cheap way to take on the big guns at scale (and beat them). Where there's a will there's a way. William Hazlitt. 1822.
