I am going to start finally making my networks, and all of the sites I have been planning over the past year and half or so. However I also want to plan something else that is bigger then everything else. My question is: Am I better off building many sites using one Niche for a network. So instead of having a Network of Blogs. Having a Network of Blogs that all focus on the same niche. Is this better? Advice please. Thanks, BlueEew.
Hello BlueEew. I do not know about what your niche will be? I do not now many blogs you are planning? Are you going to have unique content for each? Are you going to be able to maintain a series of blogs with unique content? Just some questions that can help you get better advice from us and others on the DP.
I used blogs as an example. I am actually thinking on the lines of static xHTML/CSS websites. Not blogs etc. My Niche, will not be anything any other webmaster uses for profits. It is a Niche that is usually fan based and profit free usually. The amount of websites is unknown. I will keep building until I cannot build no more on that one niche. All content will be unique. Written by me or staff members who are actually passionate about the subject.
Hmm, tricky one. Providing you have good, unique content, you have to decide which one is more important: - Making it so a lot of people interested in a specific niche will visit at least one of your blogs, and therefore taking over the niche, bit by bit (obv. this wont work on a huge niche, just as money making) - Spreading yourself so you catch a wider audience.... If the first one is more important, set up a network on the same niche, if the second one is, them set them up on different niches. How many blogs are you planning to make? I've always thought the main part of a blog is having high quality, unique articles. If you can't do this, don't bother starting a network, just focus on one site, promote it loads and update daily... Good Luck! Simon EDIT: Damn, your 2nd post kinda mucked up this whole post Oh well, maybe it'll help someone else...
Your advise still applies. The Network would consist on having websites mainly, however there will be Blogs, Forums, Wiki's, and various other CMS. I want to make a Network on this one Niche I have in mind so I can benefit from having a large amount of sites. For example all them linking to each other will make them share traffic, and PageRank.
