    Nice article.

    Also I've been poking about with sNews for a while as a quicker way of getting sites up than Joomla or Wordpress. I've held back as I've always been worried about wanting to expand the site later on and hitting a wall.

    It could be perfect for mini sites like this that are only going to get a quick burst of traffic around a new product launch and be dead and buried in a year or so.

    Right, I'm off to peek through the windows at the EA Campus to find the next niche :-)

    I realised that I thread-jacked this 'building a niche site' thread but I'm unable to start my own for some bizarre reason, and seeing as this one has quietened down can I continue with it??

    domain: gran-turismo-5.co.uk
    One thought is whether this domain is going to get removed for copyright or something? Dont know enough of the legal wranglings to know the answer. If anyone can help me on that, much appreciated.

    I've relocated the navigation to the top of the page, just below the banner.
    As you can see this has left me room for some banners on the left hand side. Having put them on there I now wonder whether it's now looking cluttered and over crowded? Maybe I need to make the main text area highlighted (not black background??) to draw the eye?

    Basically the site is a work in progress, isnt going to make any money but I am learning so that's the whole point.....I tell a lie....it made me $0.30 WHOOO HOOOOO my first adsense commission. Just some $99.70 to go before google pay out!

    Also, do we honestly think it's worth putting money into adwords for this site. The PS3 is due out in March 23rd (confirmed UK release date) and the game itself isnt until end 07, beginning 08. Therefore there may be some interest as more details come out. Should I sit pretty before spending out on a campaign, or get it going now??

    I wouldn't bother with AdWords.

    Focus on the keywords: 'Gran Turismo 5' and 'Gran Turismo 5 release date'
    Create content pages.
    Focus on link exchanges with other gran turismo sites
    Become a decent resource for people interested in GT5
    Add a newsletter option explaining to people they will be notified by email when GT5 is available.
