I need a simple answer for my query. Yes/No.
Is there any scope to have one more public portal like qatarliving.com with some more missing options which is not there in qatarliving.com?

surface...but they failed miserably

the only other active site is ILQ but as TB pointed out it does not get that much traffic as QL.

What makes QL popular is the unofficial dating going on on the background.

I agree with you Marketing budget is the key expense for a public portal. But I have diffeent ideas that can be incorporated along with QL facilities.

TB, the "other " site you mentioned can't be compared to QL....no way, it is 100% pro everything,lol, and if it is not, it is so in the nicest possible way.And that is, obviously, terribly boring.

Plus the person running it, a very, very nice person indeed, is very involved, hence people are very, very careful....

If I'd look at it more than once a month, I'd probably get diabetes ;)

There are already alternatives. But no other site has ever managed to attract the traffic that QL does. I still pop in and check on the main alternative, but posts there are around 1 to 10 per day and it has no classifieds section which is what feeds QL.

If you are thinking of setting up a QL like site, I must warn you that without a massive marketing budget, it doesn't mater how technically good it is, it will struggle to find new users. Over the last couple of years I have seen many try, and fail.

Don't let me stop you... go ahead and prove me wrong.
