Using Pligg with a travel niche

Posted In General - By Geoserv On Friday, May 16th, 2008 With 4 Comments

I have been trying to determine my next niche for a Pligg install. Normally I wouldn’t use a niche but I think just for the fun of it I will and experiment with what type of traffic it gets.

I was thinking travel. I like the layout of Cheaper than Hotels.com, with its clean layout, color choices and the way it has its rating system placed.

You could do a similar layout with categories like they have for example:

http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/United-States/San-Francisco/
http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/United-States/Miami/
http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/United-States/Los-Angeles/

and eventually break it down in to sub categories with cities like:

http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/United-States/New-York-City/

If you look at a hotel for example:

West Side Inn you can see the layout that could be used for each story submitted.

Not sure how to accomplish this part though with the photos:

westsidehotel

Each story would be a review submitted by members who have traveled to certain cities, countries etc…

Any ideas on how to accomplish the photo layout?

What do you think of the idea?
