The Medium
The internet, constantly evolving, has entered into its next stage some 18 months ago. Web 2, as it is currently referred to, featured the introduction of Social Networks, a gathering of similar minded individuals in one "web space".

Smokers Space has been designed to act as a social network. A forum of sorts but more like an information center dedicated to assembling and distributing information relevant to one specific topic.

Smokers Space much like its name targets people who share the currently out of fashion habit of smoking. Its aim is to gather information provided by its users on where smoking is permitted and to share it with other users who may have use for this information.

An example of this would be airport designated smoking sections, and as we all know there are hundreds if not thousands of airports around the world. A user say traveling from New York to Thailand may be required to make one possibly two stops on their journey. Smokers Space can, from the onset of their journey, provide them with information as to where to find the smoking lounges in connecting airports and even provide them with information on hotels that have smoking rooms available.

Another example would be Bars or Restaurants which either legally or through some loop-hole in the law bend or relax and allow smoking in their establishments or provide special smoking section without making smokers feel like social misfits. Smokers Space really wants this information in particular, and wants to share it with everyone.

The Benefits
As an business person its clear to see that marketing in social networks that focus on a particular subject offers them an opportunity to fine tune their internet advertising dollars. A product or service that you may like to sell or promote related to the subject of the social network, yields a much higher conversion rate and reaches the desired target market.

That is premium advertising and considered by most to be well spent marketing dollars. As any SEO manager or Internet Marketing consultant will advise you finding a niche market and planning a focused campaign on that market gets results and fast.
