While going thru some domain drop lists today I spotted ExploreStatenIsland.com…being a New Yorker, I decided to dive a little deeper into this “island”…..

 

I started to do some keyword research in Google’s Keyword Tool and saw the following on a phrase match search for staten island:

 

 

Now it may not be a mult-million dollar a year site, but ExploreStatenIsland.com certainly has some potential and possibilities.  Depending on your resources and skill sets, you can monetize this site in various ways such as: Paid Directory Listings (with upsell to Featured Listings); AdSense, Direct Ad Sales to Staten Island businesses, affiliate revenue on hotel bookings, restuarants, car rentals, etc., etc.

 

There is also a fair amount of searches for Staten Island Advance which I recall is a local paper…could be a great strategic alliance to have the paper promote ExploreStatenIsland.com in print while you syndicate its news and gain impressions and eye balls online….

 

So…if you live in Staten Island and/or have tremendous passion for Staten Island, you should seriously consider picking up ExploreStatenIsland.com from the upcoming drop.   If you are also into Geo-Domains this might be a nice fit for your domain portfolio as well.
