Sailboat ad aggregator

Good domain (findasailboat.com) and it's something I need, anyway. How would one monetize that? Ads, anyway. Try to contact some sailboat sellers directly for ad placement, once there was a little traffic.

1. Find all the sailboat ad engines you can.

2. Write a scraper for each one.

3. Run the scraper periodically (say, daily).

4. Have various hit pages for the search engines, but provide an expert-level search.

5. A blog in conjunction, perhaps?

This would work for any vertical, really. There's probably a whole range of possible search topics that could be narrowed in this manner.

• http://www.sailboatlistings.com/
• http://www.sailingtexas.com/cclassifiedslouisiana.html (seems out of date, but a great start)
• http://www.domesticsale.com/Classifieds/Recreational/Sail-Boat/
• http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Sailboats-/63728/i.html?_catref=1&_fln=1

Just a start.

Update October 2012: the domain's still available.  Just a thought here - the reason this would be useful is that existing sailboat engines are either not sailboat-specific, or crap in terms of the underlying database, or both.  If you just want to look for sailboats online, you're kinda out of luck.

So this would be pretty cool, and as I say, it's more or less a replicable domain-specific model.  If it works for sailboats, it would work for antique bottles. Or ... you know, whatever.  Like Techspex, which Nick replicated out to multiple tool types.
