    I have 15 websites, attempting 100 and I have trouble maintaining 5. I know those who are really successful here advocate building sites you know a lot about and have passion for, but those types of sites require a lot of maintenance and updating. How do you prioritize, schedule and maintain multiple sites? My daughter is helping and taking over a few, but the SEO work seems endless. Any great organizational tips? I have started an Excel sheet but would welcome any ideas. This leads into my other post this morning about making yourself get away from the computer for a few hours.

    I've got about 20. And I HATE the five of them that require updating. The others have static content, and are making just as much money as the ones I have to update daily/weekly/whatever.

    I'm only going to make sites about 'timeless' subjects from now on (tourism, vintage collectibles etc). No more cutting edge gaming sites, no more 'latest gadget' sites. I'd prefer to do a couple of weeks work on one site, get it up, promote it, and then forget about it.

    Music to my ears...I wanted to make sure the 'timeless' subject sites will truly help my bottom line. Thank you!

    Yep. I personally think it's much better to spend your time putting new eggs in the basket, rather than clucking around with the eggs you've already hatched.

    I learn so much with each site I build so I know the new eggs in the basket builds invaluable knowledge. But also when I look at Will.Spencer I see that diligence with one site leads to huge success.

    I understand the logic behind the "one site, one focus" thing. But I'd prefer to throw a truck load of darts at the board and hope some of them stick :)

    I think I'm all out of metaphors :p

    I took the bait and tried to find more metaphors and this came up! I don't think this supports our feeling that more is better but you had to see it LOL:
    "it is better to take one hundred steps down one path than to take one step down each of one hundred paths"

    The higher the number of websites, the greater the problem in managing them. Smaller the number, the better it is :D
