There is an unfamiliar trend that has been in progress online called horizontal content sites. This is the idea of building a site that can reign supreme over all niches. This is something that would be difficult to succeeded with for a low budget site but for hugh corporations with deep pockets it can be done.
A perfect example of a horizontal content site would be Wikipedia. But you are not limited to developing encyclopedia websites to do this. This kind of site can have past, current and new information about everything. A website that big could get overabundance of hits and visitors. All you need is a bunch of authors repeatedly sending in page after page about every niche market.
Horizontal content sites are deleloped with the use of long tail keywords. They use an algorithm that finds hundreds even thousands of these and build pages for each one. After that you can direct a product or program to every page. This certainly goes against all the experts who say that keeping your web site zeroed in on a certain niche is the best way to go. But I would not worry to much about your niche sites just yet. But it can make you wonder about how competitive the lower end of search engine placement will become. Since long tail keywords are good for small websites to get a leg up on how can this effect their visitor count in the coming days?
You can believe that an authority site may make an attempt at this but there is a down side to it. This will require lots of optimization and it would be a big time drainer to optimize each page for best search results. Some pages may do well while others will not get found. So there is a good chance that the large corporations that will attempt this will spend big bucks on generating backlinks to all of their pages. Not something a typical site owner could attempt.
It maybe a good ideas to start this on a miniature scale and make it a part of your seo before the fat cats dominate them all. The web will only become more busy and that means you need to step up your efforts. You do not have to have a site about all topics just all things that is similar to your topic. Begin with one and build on it until you own the whole subject. Become the authority when visitors search for any ideas that related to your website.
Since there are new niche ideas being created all the time you do not have to be too concerned about horizontal content websites. No matter how much a person can write it would be nearly impossible to report on everything known to mankind. You will constantly find a silver lining available for you if you keep up on the latest trends.
