Great idea. I want to point out that these Niche portals are a great 'bonus' for membership sites and ebooks. A custom niche search engine, a nice bonus that few are offering and could really set you apart.

When I told my wife what I was doing to bring added value to 2 of my present niches she looked awestruck and said "Really...how'd you do that?" All my wife cares about in IM is cashing checks so this reaction made me take note how someone intersted in these subjects and willing to spend money on information would be.

But I have a question, after I 'suck' the pages they have extensions that look like this:

www.theautismfiles.com\cgi-bin\autism\autismtalk.cgi\index5157.html

no the only problem is I want to put link these static pages on the skin using ssi includes or perhaps linkbomb, but I cant when I cant determine what keyword index5157.html refers to. Is there an htacces trick Ican use and 'resuck' the pages or another way of doing this I am missing?
