I’ve noticed a certain difficulty in finding good information on garden plants, both common and uncommon. A search on Google might find and entry on iVillage, DavesGarden, Wikipedia, etc. I wonder if I might put together a collection of web pages that aggregate, filter, and paraphrase other texts on the subjects. With photos comming from Flickr or another public online source. To provide an online reference source, which can be read as is or whose links out to various source websites could be followed for more in-depth or up-to-date information.
Income would come from an AdSense in one or two places not to interfere with the intention of the website.
Advertising would come from Google. Through the use of unique words, word pairs, or phrases that push the PageRank of the website up. Due to it’s relevance, links, and fresh content. The goal would be, like Wikipedia, to see this site in the top 3 pages on all relevant garden topics. Particularly, the narrower topics like Yum-Yum or Cocoa Bean mulch as opposed to Tomatoes or Potatoes.
There’s some similarity to Wikipedia, except Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and necessarily low in context. This website would be intended for gardening. Where Wikipedia might list all 400 species of Clover, this site would list those of most interest to someone caring for a lawn or home garden.
Links to the various source materials. For books, a link to Amazon using my Associate account (also an income). For websites, links to the relevant page.
