kuraykillua you asked what does a niche site look like.
A niche is a distinct segment of a market or having specific appeal.
Someone might have a baseball site. That would be a site that would be of interest to a large group of people who have an interest in baseball.
Another person might have a site major league pitchers from Kentucky. That would be a niche site. That site would be of interest with that specific interest.
A niche minisite is a small website. 10 pages or less is a number that is used.
A niche site doesn't really look all that different from other sites.
The person with the baseball site might have a 200 page site. The person with the one about major league pitchers from Kentucky could also have a 200 page site. Of course the potential is there for a much larger site about baseball than abaout major league pitchers from Kentucky simply because baseball covers a much larger category.
Each should have a good layout, easy navigation and quality content. Both people should want quality sites and make the effort to have the best site possible.
Niche sites is a term that is being used a lot now. But niche sites aren't anything new. They have been around since websites started. Niche site just wasn't a popular term back then.
There were sites about birds and sites about parrots. There were sites about cooking and sites about pasta dishes. There were sites about clothes and sites about ties. There were sites about wars and sites about the Battle of Gettysburg. There were sites about cars and sites about the 1957 Chevrolet. On and on it goes.
The 1957 Chevrolet is popular with collectors. But whether the site is about American history or the 1957 Chevrolet the same basic sitebuilding rules would apply would apply even if one would be considered a niche site and the other would not necessarily.
