Keep pumping out sites, or focus on the ones you have?

Given there are only so many hours in a day, do you guys think is better to have a few sites that you focus your attention on promoting/expanding or keep making new ones?

 

My strategy is to register a domain, park it and get some age until I can spend the time to develop it right. Build your site with a good design and some descent content before you go on to the next... then go back every so often and add more content and then develop another domain.

 

50/50

get a site going with just a little base, then come back to in 4 monthes and beef it up, then depending on how much of a return you see beef it up

 

i go to over 211 now so i gone back to just checking SEO and links for the old once. Starting over and uppgrading all the sites

 

It depends on a few things.

What is the profit margin of each site.
How much maintanance does each site have.

I at one time thought making many sites would be more profitable, but after a couple years of doing that... i realized that a few sites made me more money by spending the time on each site to make it profitable. I keep finding things io can tweek to get the most out of each visitor.

So it depends on how you make your money.... I belive quality is far better than quantity.

 

I think its better to develop your old websites first, if you have a backlog of bulk domains behind oyu, before you register new domains.

Do a new website only when you see something new has come up whci is making a lot of money for the people otherwise complete the backlog first.

 

I go in stages that usually last about 6 months, first is starting a bunch f new sites, then developing them for a while and now I am starting to aquire, and build new sites again.
Also I sell off sites that I just don't like. There are just some topics that I don't feel like working in anymore and figure it is better to sell off the site to someone who will do it justice than to let it rot on my server

 

Few sites - focus on them, and when you think they are ready, or can run without websites, then focus on pumping out new sites.

 

By all means pump out sites, but if you pump them out in similar categories, you'll find your marketing efforts that much easier.

It's when you spread yourself over too many categories that you run into trouble with the "hours in the day" problem, I reckon.

 

I'd just have a few, and concerntrate on making them the best they can be.

I don't know how it all works though as I have a grand total of 0 sites. But if I did, I'd put all my effort and hard work into a chosen few.

I can't really understand these people that have like 20+ sites.

 

There isn't much to understand,

site that makes a little X many sites = decent income

 

Once you have a lot of sites, you'll notice which ones are the standout performers. I had 20+ sites running, but only around 4 were delivering good revenues, so now I concentrate on those.

 

Some good advice in this thread. Since I started this crazy "experiment" 3 months ago I have built 7 sites with 3 more in various stages of development now. I think after these last ones are done, I will stop building and try to grow them more. That is of course, unless I have another middle of the night brainstorm!

 

I think you need to maintain proper balance. Keep updating eachof your site in few days and if you get time than make another one.

 

Lots of sites = risk diversification. At the moment I am at uni and I am slowly building up a portfolio of sites. In time I will choose one to develop properly.
