With the launch of every site, you always run into competition, and sometimes, learning to deal with the ever competitive web is a difficult task to understand. This guide will attempt to help you along when launching a new site in a field filled with similars.
Welcome to the Fast Track
When you first start up a new site, almost 90% of the time, the idea from the site was spawned from other sites like it. Take graphic design forums. Truly, could there be enough of them? A few years ago, if you wanted to start a site, your first bet would be to create a design community – but there was one problem. There were simply too many of them.
Soon after the let’s-start-a-design-community craze began to slow down, the communities that weren’t as popular and weren’t one of the first few vanished, allowing others to flourish and expand into very large communities.
You’ll find that with most popular design / development / hosting forums, users are registered on every single one of them, because if they’ve managed to remain up and running with a large user database, users want to stay there. These sites have been able to keep up with each other, in a field that is excessively filled with forums all discussing the same topics.
