If the site will take care of a need or desire, then it could work. The site name should be "catchy"...easy to remember without having to write it down. The signs are cheap.
Have some made up, post them in a nearby city, then track your hits geographically. Just remember that the signs may be seen by people getting off of work and leaving a plant in Anytown, PA but traveling home to Mapleton, PA where there IP address is located. But if you have so few hits from this area, you should have no problem.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
