    One Large Blog vs Many Smaller Blogs?

    Hi everyone,

    I've built a few small blogs with a few posts and the recent Google updates have killed them, so I've been wondering - would it rather be better to sit down and grind by just building one large blog instead, and basically focus all my energy on that instead?

    Does anyone here do this?

    I would like one large blog promoting a wide variety of niches?

    Just trying to put a plan together, feeling a little lost

    Thanks

      Why not do both, but invest a little more of your resources in those that are working for you, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

        Many small ones. For the average affiliate, this is the same answer for all types of sites, whether it be TGPs, Blogs or whatever

        The reason for this, affiliate model is decreasing, the amount of possible trade partners (link exchanges) and other sources of traffic have diminished. There is sort of a soft cap on how big you can make an affiliate site these days without a killer idea/investment and starting them at the right time.

        However launching endless amount of small sites is easy and not time consuming, it also doesn't put all your eggs in one basket for when google rolls out algo changes

        You can also hit more niches and do more trial and error testing

          Ok, so start a few small ones, and then ones that start to flourish should be nourished? lol - not an intentional rhyme

            Good advice, I built a few smaller blogs and then the Panda/Penguin updates came a long and buried them - which was completely discouraging. They were based on exact match domains.

            The approach of building many many small blogs is difficult to keep updated and very time consuming and it's starting the process from scratch, over and over again that is monotonous.

            But if that is the recommended way, then maybe I need to stick to it

              Typically you get your large site out of the small ones you launch, there are always a couple sites that take better than the rest, for some reason google will just like them better. The ones you see do better, you give them more time. Thats how you end up with bigger ones. You typically dont just launch a site with the thought of this one is going to be my big one.

                I've a blog which I update 2-3 times a week for 3 years now, it gets around 700-1000uv/day.. not much traffic so have no idea if it's considered big or small.

                  I would go with both.
                  I have a very big blog and it's been loved by Google for more than 5-6 years now. Top rankings, lots of traffic. But the lovin' could stop anytime

                    Build 5 blogs and divide your time & energy to spend 20% on each.

                      Wow, that is a great way of looking at it. I've been looking at projects the other way around, as in plan to build a large site instead of see if the project takes off first. Thank you

                        That sounds like a decent sized blog, well done on getting it that that level.

                        Yes, now that's the sort of Google love I'm talking about - due to the blogs size I would imagine.

                        Very good advice, thank you Mr Pheer - and then from there I would be able to see which blogs start to flourish and then focus on those blogs in terms of more updates?
