Fake product ideas
-
I am going to build a fake product and wanted to get some of your awesome ideas This is for fun, laughs and mainly viral/back links. Ultimately my goal is to leave the user scratching their head saying to them self "Is this for real?". I want it almost believable
First: My site is based on everything scrabble so I want it related to that since my fans are going to get a kick out of it.
I need some great starting points of something fake I can create and post about.
-
Much in the same vein as Monopoly - you can have a special themed Scrabble board.
There's 1000s of Monopoly ones out there - I'm sure you could come up with tonnes of unique/(stupid) ideas!
-
ooooo I like that one
-
It could give the same answer no matter what the letter were, something like ID or one where it just replaces one of your letters with another you do not have so it is really not helpful - but if it is a fake product that might be hat you want
I assume this would be a free product
-
I would like to see you introduce a new letter to the traditional set, maybe a mathematical or scientific symbol
-
But does it take a picture like a fake app and remember what letters are on the board and how to manipulate them with your letters?
-
There is an app that does that already with Words with friends
-
How about a fake Apps that allows you to take a photo of the scrabble game in progress along with your letters bar, and then instantly finding the highest value word from what is on the board?
is this what you're thinking?
-
If you ask me, the most successful fake products are books that sell the secret to happiness, money and success. Though you have to be careful and make a really weird product, or else some people might buy it.

Pitching your products to a niche... how to be in the right place at the right time?
Hi guys. We make custom diary products which can start/ end anytime, and so we feel they would go down really well in 'Back to School' type posts this year.  (Website here) I've been looking for examples of 'Back to School' content, but with it being retrospective there is no guarantee a publisher would do a similar thing again this year. My question is this: What are the best ways to find our about upcoming** content** that relates to a specific niche? (In this case Academic year Planner products) What tools, research methodologies, platforms, websites would be useful? In other words, how do we 'get in the right place at the right time'... in front of people 'warm' to the idea in the first place? I appreciate this is a very broad question (albeit a in a very specific context)... but any insight/ advice would be greatly appreciated. Hope that all makes sense.

I recently had someone say a resource page is a bad idea. What do you think?
I have a resource page on my website: www.joeborders.com an admin on the google webmaster forum said I should get rid of it. That google might look at it as spammy and gaming the system. Either that or greatly expand on it and make it more complete. I haven't updated it in a while and its far from complete. What do you think? Boot it or grow it?

Is buying blog reviews a good idea?
Hi there, I was wondering if it's worth investing on buying blog reviews for me site, by using sites like buyblogreviews.com? I've been making sure the blog sites are relevant and has good rankings, and not too many outgoing links. I also make sure they write about something interesting related to my site, that should get people's attention and gain more traffic. Any thoughts? Thanks.
