    Hi everybody.. it's a bit hard question..but here it is..
    I saw many times you DP users are saying that..you have about 5-7-10-20-30-40 somewhere I even saw somebody having 57 sites.. well the question goes here.. how do you manage those sites and what kind of sites do you make? Making 57 sites with different subjects in what you have knowledge sounds impossible for me.. If I analyse myself, I'd say that I`m good at maximum 5 things, so I start making websites for that 5 subjects..but is here somebody who knows 57 subject by heart? or even 30? I mean like, math, science, health, pc, softwares and the list is endless.. or you people just make a site about anything what has high CPC and copy paste some articles ? I`m really confused, and I can't start my new site untill I don't know this.. Time is not a problem for me, I have time to learn anything (at least this year) and to make quality stuff, (because I don't want to make another mess like my sig..) but I can make 100 sites with those copied articles...

    Really it's hard to understand how do you guys make so much sites.. I`m 19 but I use PC since I was 5 years old..started with my goodie Amiga and C64.. I have a lot knowledge at PC and I know people who just can't reformat his PC but he is earning a lot and he is not dying at working on sites..

    I`m very disappointed when I see MFA sites, I hate them all, but are they earning good ? It is really better to make quality sites? Experienced users reply here please.. Thanks for reading.. and sorry if my english sux

    All the bests

    It is not hard to make many websites.
    I will give you an example of what could you write about, a few subjects:
    adsense, seo, computers, websites, google, cars, a personal blog, some few hobby blogs, a proxy website, flash games website, a forum, some niche websites

    Understanding that... how in the world do folks even market those gazillion of sites so that they would be profitable? Or... does marketing just lack?

    People with a large amount of sites usually have sites that dont require much upkeep. Like I am launching a network of 30 directories. It really wont take much to keep those updated.

    Well everybody makes those sites, every has blog, seo, adsense, google, proxy, flash games and at least on forum. Maybe the only original content is in the blog (not for sure..) the rest is just copied one from another. I wanted to ask that, how do you guys make original content? Written by your own hand, and I`m not talking about directories, which are the easiest to make. You upload the directory and maybe view the pending sites, (maybe, or all automated) seo? everybody is copying from the seo masters, flash games too.
    Indeed, the point is that no one of you guys make something by hand? Like making a site about a subject only by you, and nothing to be copied, or at least no more than 10% of the site.. Tell me if this is true, and I understand everything then..

    Actually I want to make a site what is "car ... " related..my father has so many documentation about, but yesterday I shouted with him a lot, because he don't want to give me those..saying "those are secret stuff"..well he is right, because I found nowhere on the net those stuff...and here comes the problem, if I don't have the permission to make a site about them, then I became as all of you, copy from a site, changing some words(or copy how it is) and change the design... that's all what you make guys?

    and I was talking about static pages, not php generated forums, directories or anything like that, where actually you don't have to make "original" stuff...

    did it ever occur to you that these guys are creating about 5 to 10 different sites on the same topic? you know 5 different topics very well, so create 5 sites per topic

    for example, say you know alot about Adsense - dedicate 1 site to "how it works/tutorials/getting started", and the other site on how to optimize your ads/site.

    You're thinking too much. If you know 5 subjects well, just start by making one site about the subject you know best. Once that is online & working, make 4 more sites about the other subjects.

    "and I can't start my new site untill I don't know this."

    This is my biggest problem ever since I live. Anyway I understood how do you people work, then I can make about 50sites easily:) Second stuff, do you use templates, or different design for every website? I saw many using drupal, is anyone making different design for every site?

    Getting the traffic is the hard part, getting people to click the ads is easy.

    I have about 4 large sites, but one advantage I have is that I'm a professional Web application developer and can write custom scripts and utilize databases to automate much of the work for me (and I still can't get rich off of Adsense :) ).

    Maybe we can refer to this question.
    Fun VS money? :)

    Note that a lot of webmasters create or manage the websites for cash. Off course, it is fair for them to gain something back as a return. Personally, i have tons of websites ( some for non profit and some for profit ). We don't have to monitor all website myseft. Example, forum, you will have supporting team members to help you ( global moderators, moderators, marketer etc ). Offering them something in return. Business come from 2 day - give and take. Am i right?

    Regarding other sites, you can purchase turnkey website, modify the layout or even add on some additional features and you can safe to go.

    interesting... I got the traffic increase but not the click ratio increase so I kind of doubt what you said... on the other hand I might be doing something stupid.

    Its possible to make several sites even around a single niche. However, the yearly cost of running 50 or so sites would be quite substantial in domain and hosting, marketing costs. Therefore it is paramount that they make money.

    If CTR is same as before, you receive more clicks, because your traffic also went up.

    don't hate MFA...

    most people make website for money.
    The difference is some people do it in a traditional way - they make forums, directories and write articles; and the others do it in a lazy way - they make MFA.

    Don't hate MFA? When I see and ad and it's MFA, I`m just shouting.. Google TOS said that you can't make a site just for adsense, well there are tons of adwords users advertising their MFA sites...how the hell on earth can be this true? TOS is the same for adwords users?:mad:

    MFA is really destroying the whole internet..
