Blog/Site About The Lake District, UK

Hey all,

I’m new to the site, I’m JG and I’m 18.
Sorry if this lacks detail, I’m writing this with not a lot of time on my hands but I’ve had an idea on a site I could make, and I’m seeking feedback or any advice to whether this is worthwhile.

To make it as brief as possible, I live within the Lake District in England, which is a tourism hotspot and amasses over 3M tourists a year from all over the world, who make use of the area’s vast selection of hotels and restaurants as well seeing the amazing sights here.

I acquired the domain, (Lakes is short for Lake District, it is commonly used) and break as in holiday/vacation. I was thinking, the domain itself may not be profitable per say, but I could build a site around the Lake District, writing articles, featuring local restaurants/hotels or even services such as boat rides (Maybe offer a subscription service for restaurants to be shown on the site) , monetise with adspace etc. The term “lakes break” has good searches on Google trends and could rank highly in my opinion with well-written articles including prime keywords.

The Lake District is very popular and has a big presence online and it’s one of England’s most popular staycation destinations. I have various ideas to grow the brand, run giveaways for restaurant/hotel spend, run a subscription service for hotels/restaurants to appear on the site and in turn receive more customers etc.

I have a lot of ideas for this site, was just wondering if anyone had any feedback, advice or if anyone had done something familiar before?
I appreciate your time.

your ideas are great (and I'm not just saying it), but.... 2 important things:

1. stop opening up multiple identical threads, or you risk getting banned
2. your idea is so cool that some people reading this might steal it from you and have a site up and running by the time you gather feedback and decide how to go about creating the site.

Making your (narrow) niches, domains, and keywords public on the biggest SEO forum in the world is not good, amigo! You might come to regret this (I recommend that you delete the other identical thread, and also click on the "report" button of THIS thread and kindly ask a mod to edit the important info - domain name, niche, and keywords - out of your post before it's too late)

As for the topic itself, I don't know what to say that could be important as feedback for you, except that travel is a competitive niche, so you might want to nail your keyword research or you'll risk spending a lot of time and money to rank in this niche.

Thank you for heads up and thanks mods.
Agreed, would be competitive niche wise but there’s few sites pushing content which would be classed as a competitor. I’m gonna give it a good go regardless!
