Planetboredom.net

Planetboredom.net is seeing a huge traffic spike on Alexa this week.

If you look at Planetboredom.net, you can see it is just a set of links to videos - no magic here. But there are four things that they are doing well:

• They are choosing compelling videos.
  
  
• The home page gives you lots of options. You are probably going to find smething interesting to you very quickly.
  
  
• They are updating regularly.
  
  
• They are making very good use of the advertising space on individual pages for each video.

Anyone could create a site like this. That is not to say it is easy - finding compelling links every day is not trivial. But there is no barrier to entry here.

You just can never tell what will resonate. The video has been viewed over 300,000 times. The site is called LineRider.com.

The only way to find out if something resonates is to try it.
