Site size (Volume) vs Site niche

May 6th, 2007

This is something that I am still unsure about. Is it best to build a big general site or is it best to build lots of small niche ones. I have built a few sites and in general the bigger sites that are general tend to have averaged out earnings. Whereas the niche sites get spikes (if it where a graph) where the money comes in.  I have tried looking at the stats etc… I have come to this conclusion: It’s good to have a mixture of general sites and niche ones.

 

The general sites will provide a consistent income stream whereas the niche ones will provide  spikes in your income.

    Hi bud,

    Yes I’m still about (in reference to your comment on JonWarass.com) lol, just been busy!

    With regards to your post, I’d certainly not put all my eggs in one basket. I’d rather have 10 sites earning me $1 each than 5 earning me $2 each. That way if one or two fail I’ve still got 8 to support my income, hence the more the better.

    I know a guy that has 1,000 sites, but that’s a bit on the extreme side. He’s spread his money out too thinly so cannot afford to markt them all!

    I wish you all the best, if you need any advice give me a shout. By the way your blog doesn’t show correctly in Firefox, look at the following image so you know what I mean:
