    hi,

    Shd I run 2 sites, and use 1 site to promote the other site. Or combine 2 sites together as 1. Which is a better choice?

    eg, a watch movie online site and a movie review & plot site

    Thanks =)

    If they deal in different niches, definitely two sites. If they are the same niche, only one site.

    I would say make 1 site first and give it proper attention. Make a single site bigger :)

    I see some people create a lot of blogspot sites, and redirect them to a single site.. this works?

    if you can tie the two together then it can be moreof a benefit. But if the ye are seperate identities then it might be harder. I have the same problem I am trying to figure out to build a second lead capture page site to promote my primiary site or to just keep the attention on my main money maker and suck it up for a bit

    it is a tight rope walk but two can e better than one if they help each other out

    You should build one site. Quality is important

    Using your example, I would have a site that allows people to watch movies online and then have a member area where they can talk about, review and rate the movies they have watched. So one site in that case.

    I would say it depends on what the sites are about. If they are similar like in your example then maybe one site is good.
