    Ok say I wanted 100 dollars a day. Would a 100 page site with say 800 word articles be enough?

    No including SEO and other such devices to get traffic…


    I mean can someone here who is making similar tell me how big there site is (excluding SEO and niche)

    How many articles a site has has NOTHING to do with how much money can be earned from it. And yeah, don't even consider SEO and any other means of getting traffic, that REALLY makes sense.

    If it is that easy, many would spend a small fortune (postpone the wedding, etc) to build 100 websites and watch the money grow.

    My earning is alright after a period of 2 years building 50 websites.

    The best solution would be to create a network of sites. The more sites you have the more revenue you can make. Obviously you dont want to make 100 crap sites.. but say 5 high quality sites.

    Size really has no relevance per se. Obviously a 100 pages *quality* site is generally better than a 1 page *quality* site - but revenue is really more linked to monetization methods, quality, niche, seo and all sorts.

    BIG is good. But it's not much without SEO and quality content.

    So when you're saying best solution, you really mean worst solution, right? In this day and age where domain trust is playing such a huge role in Google, you have to focus on a single site instead of some network.

    Example. If I am fishing and I have 50 lines in the sea with bait on them I will get a few fish. However if I have 1000 lines in the sea with bait on them I will get a larger amount of fish.


    50 page website 1000 page website.

    No.. Like I said.. BEST SOLUTION. If you can create a network of high quality sites you are better off then 1 high quality site.

    Take ShoeMoney for example.. Did he create just one high quality site? No.. he built a network of high quality sites.

    From an SEO standpoint a single site is always the best approach. Don't build 5 sites at the same time when you could focus on ONE site and then make that big. Once that site is big you can build more. Otherwise you end with the "Jack of all trades" result: Something of everything, not good in anything.

    You might earn more for content if your site is big but the information must be useful and why not try advertising your site in google ad words I know a site you can advertise in if you want a flat rate. and its like really cheap PM me for more info

    Quality fo the sites makes really easy, because having so many small small website make it tough to update theme regularly and thus its good to have quality sites.

    And without further explanation that's easy to be misunderstood.

    Combining the words "really" "cheap" and "advertising" in one sentence really makes you trustworthy. You might as well say "worthless" or "like throwing your money out the window".

    My approach is going for 3 or so sites and slowly building them and adding to them. Hopefully that will work out. Ive been focusing on hybrid cars, real estate and travel.

    @dexter.ss

    Design a site people actually want to go to. Stop being lazy and just build the site. It's people who go with your line of thinking as to the reason we need sites like Digg to sift through the sea's of shitty websites.

    The only other thing I would suggest is make sites that are something you actually care about. It makes adding content that much easier. Nothing worse than having to write about something you loathe.
