When do you add advertising to a new site?

If you make a single site with lots of different topics, doesn't that make SEO more difficult? Or should they be related in some way?

I think its better to build multiple sites with diff. topics. Each single site shopuld be optimized for the  content. Some sites will generate low earnings and some moderate  earnings... and of course its more work...

So, generally speaking, how much content do you put on a site before you begin working the next one?

Do you ever consider a site "done" and other than tweaking the ads leave it alone?

I think its very inportant for SEO that your contant is dynamic, never leave a site alone, Think about the searchengine positions of blog sites. But its easy to say, I don't need the ads to earn money...

I strongly agree with what Olaf just said.

For me there is also another big reason of having multiple sites. You can use them to check different SEO and ad placement tricks for each, to have a better view of what really works.

A web site is like a living organism. It never stops to developed. If it is then it is propably an unsuccessfull one.

About.com is an example of what im talking about, and it is a successful site. just make separate directories for it like this:

http://about.com/autos/
http://about.com/money/

Nik and Olaf, you are both right about a webpage constantly changing to get spidered often, you can do that hands-off by placing rss feeds on related topics at the bottom of your page.

As a writer and former programmer, I've always felt a project is never truly finished; there's always something that could be added/changed.

Your responses have got me thinking.

Ok, so one more question (well, maybe); when you create a network of sites, do you put them on the same hosting account? It would seem the best attack would be to get a reseller account, but then won't all of the sites have the same IP and not be as effective for cross promotion?

This same ip thing is like a myth.

I host all of my sites in the same ip as I use dedicated server hosting for the last 3-4 years, and never got a problem from that. PR and links from each site are counted by search engines.

I know that it is better to have one site to one ip for SEO purposes, but that's only when the links are not reciprocal.

Using RSS to update a whole page is not enough sinds seachengines know there is already a source with the original, its better to use your own content.

about ip adresses:
I know really big sites with thousands of daily visitors which are shared hosted. Just create unique websites and every thing is fine

i dont know if it isnt enough olaf. i made this site about robots and getting rss feed about robots from Engadget. the Googlebot visits my site almost daily. i think it thought that my page was being updated daily so the reason for the daily visit.

The fact that Google visits your site doesn't mean that it will send you traffic too

But you are right it visits very often sites that update frequently.

I have sites that are changed 1 or 2 times in a month and the googlebot is there every day too.

I like RSS feeds to because they are showing visitors every time something new, but I think to use them to have dynamic contant that goes to far.

i only suggested rss for those sites that doesnt need updating in terms of content because the information found there is already final, like an online ebook. just for SEO purposes.
