Need Your Important Input
By The Rhino | September 7, 2008
Hello all Rhino Articles members,
We want our members to have input into a very important decision we need to make concerning Rhino Articles.
We are looking at making Rhino Articles into a niche article directory. Currently we are a general directory that accepts all kinds of subjects. We would like to know what niche you would like Rhino to focus on.
Could it be health and fitness, outdoors, sports, travel, business, technology? Let us know what you what niche you would like to see. Leave a comment here or e-mail us.
Have a good one

I feel a very powerful niche isn’t a niche at all, but a unifying theme. The theme I suggest is “People.” Articles would have to do with the issues and concerns that people have in their daily life:
Relationships
Parenting
Personal finance
Doing well in a job
Mortgages
Civics
Education, especially home schooling
Health
(I would avoid mental health, but special needs children could be a topic)
Nutrition
Hobbies
Books
Theater/Films
Self-improvement
Specifically excluded would be:
Business (even home-based business)
Technology
Marketing/Sales
Sports
Religion
Politics
Environment
Above all, I would urge that standards for articles be very high, to ensure return traffic. Too many articles on too many sites are mundane, banal, common knowledge, unsupported opinion, or otherwise a waste of time and pixels. You want newsletters and websites to come back every week to find new and worthwhile content, and if they have to plow through twenty articles to (maybe) find one good one, they won’t. As it happens, I believe your standards are higher than most, but there is always another notch higher.
If you do go in this direction, I will agree to write one high-quality article for every topic you offer in which I have any personal expertise, exclusive to you for 30 days.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
