Hi, so I'm Sp@rky13 or just sparky and as Ned has already outlined in the other thread, Scott and I have been given an awesome opportunity to learn about SEO and monetising websites. Even though I am in year 12 and therefore do not have much time to spare, this was an offer I could not refuse. So, thanks again to Ned for giving me this opportunity. I hope that through Scott and I documenting what we do and through the community's responses, we will all learn better ways to do things to save time, earn more money and increase SEO ranks etc.
Ned gave me a few domains to choose from and the eventual two I came down to were snowdeals(dot)com(dot)au and computerdealers(dot)com(dot)au. Skiing and snow sport is something that I wish to do more and is something I'm interested in, so was a great option for me. Computerdealers was something that I was even more interested in as it could be something that could be made into a basic website or be made into a complicated website with lots and lots of pages etc. The reason I chose snowdeals.com.au was that as seen in google's search results, computer dealers isn't a terms people use to find someone selling computers. You search for computer stores etc. Snowdeals on the other hand, although isn't as good as holiday deals or skiing deals, it still has that idea that it is a site that will get you the best deal possible. So, snowdeals is the domain I chose to go with.
My plans for the domain is to have it laid out by region, aka each snow field area within Australia and NZ (for the moment). This may be categorised under countries or states (unsure at this stage) or may have all listed at the top (currently thinking the former). Under each location will be a page describing the area and what it has to offer, ways to get there (may use affiliates with planes/hire cars etc) as well as photos showing the stunning views etc. This is the base level of the site though I plan to (if possible) be able to integrate an API that deals in planning flights, accomodation etc. I am currently still researching at the moment to see if that's even possible, so feel free to let me know your thoughts, ideas, praise, criticism and random other chat in this thread.
Thanks again to Ned for this opportunity but also thanks in advance to this awesome community who I know will be stacks helpful in the big and little things of this site.
