ShopInTheMall.com looking for a purpose to exist

[jkoll]

So here is the deal:

While back I bought this (I think) pretty cool domain name shopinthemall.com with an idea of developing a shopping mall where online retailers will be able to lease / buy space at a good web address.

Somehow I ran out of steam on that one (lack of promotion or belive in that concept multiplied by other "first life" commitments) but got the hosting and some ok design on it as you can check on its url.

So now I am looking for any creative person with reasonable SEO skills and experience who is willing to find a use for this site. I am in no way restrictive to anyone suggestions as long as the site get some life into it reasonably soon.

What I would like to achieve here I guess, is to get some ideas/solutions from interested people effectivelly choosing the best one to be my 50/50 partner in this project.

My conditions for this "contest" are fairly laid back as I need an open mind for this so:
* The current design can stay or can be altered
* My original idea of online shopping mall can be enhanced or altered entirely

Some possible pointers which you may or may not consider:
- keep current design and redo the concept as niche retail directory
- push through with an idea of "renting spaces in a shopping mall" with some creative advertising campaing (easy said huh?)
- redo/alter design to create an affiliate or affiliate/directory site (eg. kind of ukoffer.co.uk clone)

I hope someone here will see the potential of the domain and online retailers niche idea so we can move forward with this.
Oh yeah the site is www.shopinthemall.com

Thanks

if you go on with this, you should definitely change the design

and btw i think this belongs in "Help Wanted"

Current idea of the site ressembles that one of "onemilliondollarsite.com" or what was it exact name.
Domains looked nice to me on a first look, but it's all only about advertising here.

That's an interesting concept to the million dollar homepage. :)

Very cool idea! I really think you might have something here. Very innovative. If you were to clean up the main banner and overall improve your site graphics, I think you would have a real winner here.

Good luck with it.
