Development Idea 5: Spoof, Humor and Entertainment
Thursday, 08 July 2010 15:53
If you happen to be blessed with the natural ability to tickle ones funny bone, then consider developing some of your domains into spoof, humor or entertainment sites. The main reason being that these type of sites spread via social fire as each delighted individual forwards your site through Twitter, Facebook or other social networks.

An internal industry example is none other than DomainGang.com who delivers a pinch of humor and wit designed to distract us from the dry norm of daily domain news.

Other sites such as Cracked.com and Fark.com rose to the top using sarcastic wit despite being no more than a list of articles.

ThePeopleOfWalmart.com is a great example of photo niche originality where you can't help but forward URLs despite disagreeing with the concept of Walmart shopper ridicule.

Any human emotion can be inspired to help motivate a specific action. In this case it is humor with the specific desired action of site sharing, returning visits, signing up for newsletters, etc. How you approach this is up to you; ranging from Tickle-Me-Elmo comedy to read-only-when-the-kids-are-asleep-he-must-have-been-drunk-to-write-this style.

Nonetheless, whichever purpose you use to employ humor whether it be for traffic, advertiser awareness, product sales, etc it is one of the best motivators in viral marketing.
