Do you have multiple sites per niche?

I was wondering how many of you use more than one site in niches? Obviously this would vary from niche to niche (depending on how competitive it is, and therefore how much work it would take to establish multiple sites), but in niches with little competition, you could capitalize by having several.

The niche I am getting into I currently have my main blog, and a product review site. I plan on putting up a second review site of the product, a static authority site, and one or two other resources related to the niche.

What is the most you have ever had in one niche?
What's the average?
How effective have these strategies been? Anything you have learned?

    I do use multiple sites per niche, but they are all on separate hosts so I can take advantage of interlinking from different class C ips. They are used mainly as "feeder" sites to my main site for that niche, although they do make some decent money in and of themselves.

    Really depends on the niche as far as the number of different sites. I'm in some niches with 2 or 3 sites and others with up to 10 sites.

    Yes.

    I pretty much always have multiple sites per niche.

    This allows me to target different angles and different set ups etc.

    I think the most I have had in one single niche is 6 or 7... money sites... I usually have others for links and testing, though.

    Personally - no, but I may change that in the future. I have actually found doing my main project to be all-consuming, in terms of my time but that is changing.

    No, I do not.

    I have a forum that covers everything from gardening, hiking and camping to firearms.

    I also have a blog that covers a wide array of topics - gear reviews, hiking, camping, fishing, opinion, life,,,,, just all kids of stuff.

    If I broke my 2 sites down into multiple sites, the inforamtion would be wide spread and difficult to find. As it stands right now, people can find all kinds of information on just 2 sites.

    Yes, I usually setup at least 3 real websites per niche...

    The idea here, is that I'm approaching the same niche differently in each website.
    Each site, has it's own content, and I test different prices (or revenue streams) in these 3 websites.

    Thanks,

    In fiercely competitive markets and niches, multiple sites on different Class C IP addresses is the way to go "IF" you want to dominate/monopolize that niche/market.

    When I set up multiple domains it is for the purposes of getting all sites ranked in the top spots for those targeted keyword phrases.

    Currently, in a number of markets and niches, I've got close to a dozen sites. If the traffic is there and the commcercial value is there, it's more than worth it!

      Why does it have to be a class C IP address? Classes A and B wont work?

      I lease a dedicated server and have several class A IP addresses. So your saying class C are better then class A? Even though class A have more addresses per scope?

        I think he simply means different IP addresses. The reality is that most people don't have the luxury of using class A or B. Nothing wrong with it of course and no difference in the 'minds' of the engines.

          Actually, I used the term Class C IP, because it's a commonly accepted term. That being said the Internet has quietly put the classes to rest and adopted (CIDR) Classless Inter-Domain Routing.

          That being said, without getting technical - in times past and in most cases - currently, when SEs check for duplicate sites, bridge sites, feeder sites, etc., one of the first and usually the only thing they check network wise is the Class C IP address. They don't check Class A IP addresses.

          If different sites have the exact same Class C IP, they might be up for further review.

          That's an over simplification overview of course.

          True statement with an addedum; they don't have the luxury of selecting a Class A type of setup.
