@Dave
I think if you are going to build links to a site, build them to one. I am amazed at Ben over at http://makemoneyonlinewithseo.com that he buys so many domains to put content on. You’d think that once you reach 200 domains, you’ve got a couple grand a year in domain fees. Personally, I think that Google wants you to focus on a topic and talk about it ALOT. Eventually it’s my feeling that all of the many sites will go by the way side and those building more powerful sites will win out. Your comments are always great Dave. Thanks very much.

Correction, the Warrior Forum thread involves a fellow making between $300 to $400 per day from what is now up to 44 sites .. he built 12 more in the past month or two.

This is something to touch on with regards to your stated strategy here, as opposed to making many more than 7 ‘simple’ sites … some with only 3 or 4 pages. A lot of people who haven’t yet got in the water are hesitant and mystified by the ‘large authority site’ versus ‘tiny, ultra-targeted keyword’ site.

In actual performance it makes little difference. A fact that seems to escape many of us from time to time is, Google never has ranked ‘websites’ … blogs or otherwise. Google indexes and ranks _pages_ . So several hundred pages of large sites ranked for a keyword, and several hundred pages on tiny sites are going to perform very closely when Google goes looking for a place to serve up an ad.

Delighted to see your income ramping up that fast. I have been reading a (long) thread on the Warrior Forums by a fellow who makes about $100 USD a day from about 30 very simple web sites … mostly all AdSense. (and no, there won’t be any affiliate link hidden in my comment here ). He did this in about 6 months of dedicated keyword selecting, site building and article marketing.

The part that amazes me is the number of folks in the thread, many from 6 months ago right up to today posting comments like, “but what if Google does away with AdSense?”, or “what if you make some mistake and get banned?” and on and on.

In other words people want assurance the the world will never tilt, they will never stub their toe in the dark, no one will ever close a car door on their fingers, and the Cubs will win the Series.

Having outlived a lot of younger, smarter, often more talented than I folks who were (in my view) quite “unjustly terminated”, I can assure you, just as Cub fans can, that nothing in life is guaranteed.

Do something, each and every day to earn money. Grow your crop. If something dies six months from now, you have had 6 months of profit that the ‘wait and see’ guys never saw a dime of.

Seems like an easy equation to me, ut then again, I never studied any higher math.
