Such useful info! ThanksI run over 20 sites but my top number is over 50 sites.
Currently, I work on reverse engineering competitor websites, building them up, and then selling them later on once I've successfully monetized them.
I also work on a "rolling system."
Basically, 150 to 250 posts per blog, put it all up, and then, create another blog, and then another.
And then, after several months, once the first blog is getting traffic, I would go back and add pictures, pretty it up a little bit, and then do more strategic interlinking.
Once I've finished other new blogs, I will then come back once the initial blog has even more traffic, and then start working on monetizing it.
I believe that this is the way to do this if you are planning to run volume networks.
Because it's my experience that Google tends to rank your site faster when it doesn't have any ads.
In fact, if you look at the archives of this forum, there are people complaining that once they put up AdSense ads, their traffic suffers.
Of course, there may be a variety of reasons why that's the case but there is a correlation between how many ads you put up and your traffic volume.
So, focus first on getting all your content up and then tightening up your blog and getting its traffic way up.
And then, you can monetize.
So even if there is some sort of downturn or some change down the road, you'll still be good.
do you habe a team or wrtiers? Or are you generating content with AI?
If done by writers, do you do the formatting yourself?
And last bur not least, do you try to give each site a different look to avoid similar looking sites?
Do you allocate each site on a different ip address?
Edit: Are you using fresh or expired domains?
Gues they write pillar articles to rank for huge keywords with the help of expensive backlinksI'm curious how so many people have a lot of websites. It's impossible to write content regularly for a certain number of sites unless you pay for writers o use a scraper or IA system. There's also the problem that dozens of websites don't usually have the same quality of someone working on three, four or even five complete websites (lots of articles, modifying things, dedicating time to improve it, etc.). In fact this is my case, and it takes a lot of hours to take care of only a few sites (I have 8 websites).
I'm reading that some people have websites with only 5 to 10 pages. They create these small sites and forget about them (or dedicate only a few hours per month). Does this method still work for SEO? In other words, can a 5-10 page site rank well and return a passive income? I would like to see a an example of that. I suppose that these mini sites have to be extremely specific on some kind of not competitive niche.
