1 Authority Site With 75,000 UV Per month or 100 Autoblogs Each With 750 UV Per Month

I think it would be much easier to monetize a single blog with 75,000 visitors than 100 with 750.

With 100 small blogs, you are pretty much relegated to making money with their sole niche method of monetization.

With a large blog that gets thousands of visitors day, you can add many more streams of revenue. In addition to your main income method, a blog with that traffic could make good money renting out banner ad space, sell backlinks, build a huge list, etc.

But if you are talking in a 'fantasy Internet' world where the 100 niche blogs are truly 100% auto and they generate a good hands-off income, that may be appealing because you can sit on a beach instead of maintaining an authority site.

But in the "real world" I think a 75,000 view a month authority site would be a stronger business.

I prefer 1 authority site. Why? Because it is easy to focus developing/monetizing it.
Why we need a focus? If we can focus, we will be faster to be an expert in this field.
Then, what will happen if we become an expert? We will get easy to earn money, branding our name, and etc


Good luck

Authority blog any day.

The costs involved with 100 domain names should be considered. I would discontinue with the "eggs in one basket" mindset. MOST people work 1 job, most business owners usually own 1 business.

That doesn't mean you should not participate in other ventures but get that 1 blog up on focus on it. If you're you're promoting a Amazon product on a blog the gets 75K visitors a month, you're going to make great money.

Once you get it up and running there isn't a lot of up keep involved. I'd rather have 5 big blogs each doing $3k/month each than 100 blogs each doing $150/month each.

Lots of IMer's build very successful online ventures with 1 blog. You don't need to do all of the volume(100 blogs).


To be honest, that's all you need is one. Imer's like to think you NEED to be involved with a dozen different things. How many actually MAX the income potential on one project before moving to another? I'd say very few.

If you were to build a 150 page authority blog with good on page SEO, and promote Amazon products, you'll probably be much happier within 6 months.


Also, remember, this is not a race nor contest. So don't go racing off to NameCheap and start buying 15 domain names at a time.


Get 1 and focus on the one until it produces for you. Amazon is the easiest of them all. Just get people to click on those links

Vote for authority, if you treat as true authority, meaning no crappy content, lots of good and researched and varied content.

Autoblogs have no future, why waste time

I agree with all of you in the authority blog argument. I guess you guys are right in the sense that 1 authority blog is

1) Easier to manage
2)Easier to monetize
3) Easier to track and increase the traffic coming to it

Although i guess there will have to be some caution coming to the promotion of the blog. I heard john chow had his blog deindexed once for shady link building, the big g eventually given him his ranking back again after tonnes of people searched for him and could not find him in the search engine rankings.

Question is: Does anyone still do autoblogs nowadays?

I am sure they do. In fact there are quite a few autoblog gurus like billmcrea (marketing on the fringe) alex goad (auto content cash) and bill johnson (autoblog blueprint). My regret that there is no auto creation click a button and it is setup kind of thing out there.

In fact, Bill mcrea had a Never Fail List building course which was on the autoblog method of building lists. I suspect however that the method does not work anymore since there was a panda/penguin update (confusing really)

Glad to sort out my thoughts with the help of you guys on this matter :-)

Lol,of course the better to have 100 automatic authority blogs.
I see,most of the people nothing know about real autoblogs and how to create them,to make money.

If you do the authority site right it will last forever. The autoblogs, at some point, will be sniffed out and slapped en-masse.

Authority all the way. I have 8 websites that are dying right now and I couldn't give a toss, let them die die die die. One authority branded website is far more focused.
