Curious

[KillerLinks]

I've learned a lot from everyone here at NamePros and I'd just like to get some feedback on how I'm doing so far.

I have 100 something domains, 60 or so of them are on domain parking services and the rest are:

1) Either a 5-6 Page site with static content relative to the domain name along with dynamic content such as RSS feeds and free dynamic content provided by different providers.

2) A Simple one page site to push a particular product

3) A Fully developed site providing a service

Excluding the service sites, the rest generate anywhere from $600-1500 per month for me. On a side note, it's always confused me as to why it fluctuates like this...

My basic plan for the simple sites is to:

1) build the site and content
2) attach the dynamic content
3) join about 100 banner exchanges per domain
4) Use several free submission services on each domain (search engines and directories)
5) Build a site map and submit it to Google
6) Act like a whore when it comes to the traffic statistics and play around to try and boost the follow through to the product(s) I'm pushing depending on any trends in the visitors path through my site.

Each site takes me anywhere from an hour to a day to build.

What I'm curious about is that for the number of domains I own, is the income being generated ok? And what baseline do the rest of you follow when it comes to launching a "simple" site?

I'm not complaining lol $600 is still money that I'm happy to receive but as would everyone else, I'd like to boost this

I'm basically looking for some additional suggestions to boost traffic without turning all of my domains into service sites and at the same time keep it free

Thank in advance for any advice you give!

What do you mean by "service sites"?

"Excluding the service sites, the rest generate anywhere from $600-1500 per month for me."

I thought you meant $600-1500 per site at first!

LOL I wish it was making that much per site

By service sites I mean anything where I'm selling of my products or services directly, from web development to tshirts

At first, I was wondering why you felt you needed more money if you were making that much per site.

So, I assume on the other non-service sites you are making money through PPC ads and/or affiliate ads.

I think adding content to these sites is the best way to promote them. Using social bookmarking can help. I usually social bookmark my pages as I put them up. Sometimes I only bookmark the best ones, so that I don't set off flags or anything at the social bookmarking sites.

It would be awesome to make that much per site Yeah the income is mainly from adsense and some affiliate ads. I like the social bookmarking idea, I think I'll implement that, thanks!

I am already doing this and it has worked very well for me.

What I did was I was slowly building up my domain portfolio.

Along with that I was always putting something on it. So atleast it gets crawled as a site first.

Then as I get time I keep tweaking and improving sites one by one. When I am done with all 80 - 90 sites I do it again from the first site.

This way my income remains steady and keeps improving day by day.

The thing that you are suggesting that it will take one hour to one day for one site will still be around 60 days. (Not including SEO, link building and competition in search engines)

I also think that in 1 hour you can mostly make a site from an existing CMS or a Wordpress blog. But then comes the problem of the content. Writing content for them. Defining the title tags, meta tags, meta description, contact us pages if any and other small parts will itself take one hour of yours.

Best advice for getting this started is not to lose patience and giving more days to each site and then building up the sites which are competitive enough in that niche.

What I think is if you go for auto content thing then the results will not be that great.

I had friends who did took that path and right now they are sitting with 100+ domains with nothing on it and not even earning in parking.

If I could be of any help in guiding you for this then please don't hesitate to PM me.
