    Hi Experts,

    I need your expert advices.

    Which do you think is better..

    Build a few large sites with thousands of pages or make many small but niche sites.

    Which is more profitable?

    Thanks.

    i asked this exact question about 2 years ago.. the answer then was "one large site is better"... that's the direction i went, and it's worked out pretty darn well for me.

    Yes, at least if is a lot easier to handle and manage one site, rather than many sites at the same time.

    How do you guys manage large sites? Do you guys use a CMS or just add manually through ftp?

    Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
    So you can t really tell that this method is better than the other.
    By the way, you can always mix both methods :cool:.

    Don't you worry about putting all of your eggs in one basket with the one site focus?

    Very true.
    In my opinion Just one big site earns u much more but it takes some time. Small sites start earning very fast.

    The key to websites is not quantity but quality. Try looking at well built and successful sites in your niche(s) and plan and build and then monetize.

    A big website and some small ones... The big must have dinamic content, the small ones may have static content... Good luck! ;)
