Well I finally got around to adding more sites. I did 20 of them this time but I am going to do these a little different than the first one. The first one I did a massive amount of directory submissions and got over 500 links approved in just a week or two. These ones I am going to take it very slowly.
As for revenue so far I am up to Login/Register to view. I did make a bunch more off an already established site Login/Register to view, but I sold the site this week so I’m not going to track and report. Check out the integration though with the site, did it myself.
Heres a list of the 20 sites as they are right now.
As you can see I did a few sites for a few niches each and linked them together. Most people will say not to do this but I host with Seohosting and have 30 class C IPs so I feel safe doing so.
I also decided just to go with a more keyword rich spammy looking domain for these. Reason I did that is because finding domain names was pissing me off so I just went spammy. It really wont matter since I wont be doing much directory submissions with these.
I’m more going to focus on bookmarking and doing it the easy way. I pick up a copy of bookmarking demon for $97 and I can knock out tons of bookmarks quick. With a push of a button after its all set up it will get me 200+ bookmarking links. Which is great for someone with a bunch of sites.
I’m holding off doing this until I get my content up. Paid someone to write 200 words of content for each site, this is a must! Should be getting the content here in the next day or 2. After that then I will start bookmarking.
Still planning on making a page where you can view my statcounter publicly. Waiting to get the content up and some traffic first though.

Hi Aaron,
I have been using Bookmarking Demon for a while now. It is an excellent program. In this latest round of Google PR updates, I got a site to PR 3 just using BMD.
Where are you getting your outsourced writers? I have been thinking about doing this for all of my sites.
How much do you pay them for 200 words of content?
Thanks

I hire my writers from Digitalpoint. Theres always tons of them looking for work. Im paying $45 for the 20, 200 word articles which isnt bad at all.

Hello,
So, your philosophy seems to be to put multiple sites out there, (all the while making a little money), until you have the opportunity to come back later to optimize them for more money?

Actually my philosophy is to build a ton of sites that make $1 a day.
But yes for SEO purposes it is best to build a site, make a link or 2, then let it sit awhile before you do anything else.
As for optimizing them I do all of that before hand. I dont come back and change anything. The only thing that I can really change to help it make more conversions is adding a unique template and some unique content. From what I have seen so far though, its not really needed.

Hi Aaron,
You can tell I’m new. About how many bookmarks do you do per site ? I was going for 100, but should I do more? I’m about half way through, but haven’t noticed any difference. I know… I’m impatient.
Thanks

Its going to take awhile. You need to give it a few weeks before you see any real results. Also it depends on your niche. If you chose poorly then you may never see any improvement.
But for all my sites except 1 I only did 3 bookmarks per site.

What is exactly a “bookmak” ?
