What does it take to start a new site today?
My answer would be money. This is 2006 not 1996 and the biggest mistake people make is thinking they can start on a shoe string and compete.
Then experience, knowledge and talent. The days of the newbie are over. Hard truth but can anyone think of a newbie who opened a site in the last two years who is still around? Now think of all the programs who crashed and burned.
Then a great idea, which is where the other things come into play. Because if you do not have the money to back it and the experience, knowledge and talent to put it together and market it, you will just be another site that opened this week. And there are 100s of programs doing that every month.
Way down the line is content and traffic. Get the above wrong and all the content and traffic will not save you. Well you won't get the traffic and if you do you won't get the sign ups.
So what do you think and give us some thinking behind it.
