Since my last two threads got deleted where I was attempting to answer EVERY question submited I will try to help by only answering three. I suppose mods and long time members get sick of people trying to sell ****. I'm not selling anything

My first response will be to one of the members who pm'd me AFTER my last thread was deleted.

It's a long set of questions

Thanks, I thought there are so many good questions that I would share it with the WF members as this was my original intention, helping the most amount of people

Here are my questions:

Traffic Strategy:
1. Expenses are around $1000 per month on outsourcing linkbuilding and content creation. I am lucky to have an affiliate that pays over $1000 a month right into my paypal so I just use that every month and keep my adsense money and other affiliate income for living expenses, entertainment and savings

For outsourcing I only start paying for jobs after the site is making me money. For a new site I will drop about $30 for link building and then leave it. If the site is making me $10 a day I will spend more money to build it up, so it is being re-invested in the site. Some of my authority sites make around $20 a day so I pay someone $2 per post to add something new every few days.

I have about 3 people I send regular work to.

I found most of them through gigs on fiverr or freelancer. I just look for people who already know what they are doing, and then train them to do it my way.

They use their own tools, they are already experts at whatever it is they do (article submission, directory submission, blog commenting etc) I just get them to do it how I like

I have a few writers who post to my blogs every few days and bill me whenever they hit 20 posts. I am always trying new things so I almost always find something I want done and I outsource it. (writing articles, or building links)


Tools
I am very very cheap so I have never bought any guides, or WSO's or anything. I learned everything for free by reading free blog posts. for tools I just use the google keyword tool, seo quake and yahoo site explorer. I use wordpress for the sites

I usually don't do this all in one shot, but if I wanted to I guess I could find a good keyword, domain and launch a site in under 3 hours, proabably less if I found a good keyword quickly. I have a good method for finding available domains too!

Individual Work Yourself
I find niches, register the domains, and build the pages. I do a lot of the on page SEO so the site is exactly how I like it. Once the site is set up I will then start outsourcing the link building and some content creation. If it is an authority site I am building I will find a good writer to add relevant quality information. I find the topics I want posted on the blog and then give them that info to write posts about.

It depends, in march and april I vowed not to create ANY new websites and only work on building links and content on my current sites. (don't want to have too many thin sites) My brother however created a tonne of new websites. He ended up having a $490 day on adsense and I was thinking I must be doing it wrong! Haha. Luckily I was right all along, google slapped him and sent him back down to about $120 per day, while I am slowly working my way up. I got a bit of a slap as well, but not as big as him!

Now I am making maybe 1-2 sites a month.

Operations
Probably around 40 active websites, I make most of my money from the top 10 though, then a decent amount for the next 10. The last 20 are either failed sites that I thought would do well and didn't, or works in progress / on there way up!


About 10-20

I go after keywords that with a top page ranking should bring in about 50 visits per day, with a top three I should see 150 visitors or more and if I can rank for related keywords I should get well over 400 visitors a day.

I usually go from 5 visits a day to 100 overnight, which is the difference in top of the 2nd page to mid first page ranking.


Domains vs. Multi-Site Domains

I tried that years ago with a terrible niche and got good results in traffic but terrible earnings (bad niche)

I think that method takes a lot more work and is not really worth it. Instead of creating a sub-domain create a new domain altogether.

IF the topic is related to your main website, and your main site ranks well then create a category / folder for it. It is easier to manage ONE big site then 100 small sites. Plus if you put 100 small sites worth of content onto one big site you would have a lot of great content and google would love you.

I actually use both methods as I build some micro niche sites and I am building some BIG sites, that way I don't have all my eggs in one basket!

I will only answer two more responses so as to not anger the mods
