To see what others get listed with is a good idea indeed. Another good idea is to scroll down the page a bit to see the highest votes for the day before. You'll get a good idea of what visitors like.
there's a but...
don't copy what others do, or the traffic indeed is hard to convert. If you offer the same everybody else is offering you won't make a lot of money on the short run. It will still get your name out and it doesn't hurt your google rating either... Find a niche in all what's offered and you can still make a buck to two (or maybe even more!
)
Be original, treat visitors like people (they are!) and not like walking wallets (they're not!)
