1 Site ALL Niches or Multiple sites
- SEO |
Hi warriors, I'm facing a dilemma these days and I need to make decision. I am hoping your input here will show me the basic ups and downs between these two options.
Please read the post in full to understand my:
- point of view
- personal character
- goals & needs
I have 3 different micro-sites which are bringing in a small amount of traffic each, about 300 visitors/day from those 3, what I am thinking is why not do the same thing 27 more times and this will theoretically result in having 30 sites with 27 times more traffic.
I chose micro-sites because its easy and I'm so used to it that I can shoot out a perfect one in a couple of hours, with content and everything. Also this way, I can optimize main titles, tags, domain name etc to only one niche therefore resulting in higher/faster ranking just for that niche. (Site I created a week ago has 4 results on the 1st page of Google).
On the other hand, creating one site and posting on it regularly has its own SEO advantages, e.g. all social signals are from the one main site, all traffic is there, certainly a better long-term SEO...thing.
But, if Google decides to, for whatever reason punish my site's rank, I lose ALL traffic and therefore revenue, because it was all coming in from that single source.
My SEO knowledge:
- no problem writing 1000 words per article;
- vast knowledge with ON-page SEO techniques;
- NO skill whatsoever -- with OFF page SEO techniques;
- unmeasurable patience & dedication
History & Direction:
I've been into IM since 15th of September, 2011 -- The day I googled "make money online" and found a PPD website. Today I am working with a CPA network, promoting general offers. I've made a decent profit in the last 3 years, always used Youtube as a primary source of traffic. Since that is pretty much no longer possible, I'm turning to SEO/websites.
Please share your opinion with me, any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: After seeing some of the replies here I realized I should have mentioned one important aspect of my niche:
Lets just say no one will ever come back to my site after converting. There will never be a need for this niche's users to look for it again, ever.
If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
