Tiny Sites Aren't Small Potatoes
xtrucial writes "Jakob Nielsen of usability fame has a new article up about the perhaps-unexpected power of tiny websites: 'Considering that the Web as a whole will have about 4 trillion page views this year, the [low-traffic] sites might seem irrelevant with their pitiful millions of page views. But within their niche they dominate.'" (In particular, Nielsen is talking about weblogs.)
Till Slashdot links to it.

If you're using a windowing system, you can almost definitely resize your browser window to fit the amount of text that you prefer. If you have a mouse, try clicking it on the left or right window border and then drag it sideways until you have the window width that you want.

I hereby decree that all doorknobs must be 12 feet from the floor. Bending over is hard for tall people so making the handle very high is most convenient since you have full control over wearing platform shoes (as per proper usability guidelines).
I am pretty, Oh so pretty...
Put a keyword of "sex" on your website and you get forgotten. Put "zoophilia stories" and make the stories good quality and you get quite a few visitors. Ah. And advertise! :)
Big websites aren't medium sized canteloupes.
...you mean, like bragging about their hubrustic niche language google nexus quotient?
You know, if google goes down, all of whom you claim to be goes with it...how's that for a measure of self-worth.

Almost since it's inception, my site has absolutely dominated the "sites about ucblockhead" niche.
The cake is a pie
(A) Read somewhere that website traffic follows a powerlaw.
(B) Repeat obvious and well-known properties of powerlaw distributions.
(C) Mention the word "weblog."
(D) Using powers gained in (A), (B), and (C), tell bloggers that they are important.
Repeat as necessary to raise traffic.
Such a thing already exists. In all likelihood, your apartment building has a washroom. In all likelihood, in that washroom is a notice board. You can put notices for just about anything on the notice board, and inform your neighbors of your bounty of mashed taters.
Of course, you would've already known this if you washed your clothes once in a while.
