New Internet Trends Means More Advertising Dollars | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I think that setting up your first site and building it is more important than setting up a wide range of sites right from the start.  Now that I have learned a lot from trial and error on my first site, I can probably slowly grow several sites at once and have the same earning potential as I do on MITR.  Unfortunately I dont have the time…so Im going with one more site for now.

Quite honestly I think Yakezie is well poised to take advantage of this…we already network and leverage off each other.

If you do start several sites, the best thing you can do is at least upload SOMETHING that Google can index to start the aging process.

When I pick up a new domain, I try to have the site up within a week, and usually post an ezinearticle at the beginning, just to have something up.  The moment I have a unique post ready, the eza article comes down.

I learned this strategy from you! Since Google cares so much about age, I want to get indexed right away.

As far as the original question, I'd suggest starting multiple sites, but focusing on one more than the others. Especially if most of them are niche sites.

I have put up a new domain – and planned to add sub-domains to it that were almost stand alone guys.  In fact I put up a subdomain first – without having much on the root domain – but google didn't seem to want to index either one.  Finally after a month or so, I put the root domain up with some content and now both the root and the sub domain are indexed.

Go figure.

I think money is the root make a good point – i learned A LOT of things the hard way when I first set up a website – from migration to themes to you name it, i screwed it up at least once.  

having the experience has allowed me to easily help pout up a second site.

I still screw up at least one thing every week but over time, the screw-ups (hopefully) have gotten less severe.

I think your multiple blog strategy could be a winner LaTisha. As others mention above, you definitely have economy of motion when it comes to the mechanics of producing and putting a site out there. Unfortunately the writing doesn't get any easier for me. One idea is creating alternative content to the old 500 word blog articles…really, who has time to read it all? Micro blogging could save a lot of time, and still attract a wide following.

There's always the option to buy existing sites that people don't update anymore if you can find them and can afford them.

 

Yah, this would be my preferred method.  I'm still throwing the offer out there for co-owning a new/used blog with someone!

I have made an offer on about 10 different blogs using this strategy…my new challenger blog Smart Wealth was purchased this way… I got it on the cheap and it at least had a PR of 1. 

I'm still looking for more blogs to purchase..but its hard getting ahold of the people when their blog is inactive.

I think the several website approach is the best, but you have to do it over time. I own quite a bit of domains that are aging and every now and then I check up on them. If I find that one has moved up in the serps, then I build it up.
