Don’t have a site yet.. but looking into it.. okay so I thought wordpress wouldn’t let you put ads on to get paid on clicks but blogspot would? Can you direct me where on your site do you start explaining all of this at the beginning stages? Although everyones comments are interesting I am also VERY lost ! Thanks L

Wow. I have been planning on doing the same thing for all of my sites, just haven’t got to it. Glad to hear confirmation that it’s a good idea.

Reading this post and comments has kind of been a break through for me; I have heard of people running 100+ sites or blogs, and I just thought it sounded un-doable. But then I realized, 100 x $12 = $120 per DAY, a respectable chunck of change, and that is just with adsense…Add to that even conservative product/affiliate sales, and you actually have a NICE income.

I am headed for my del.icio.us bookmarking buttons at the moment, I need to follow your work (found you on WF, BTW.) Congrats on being Debt Free!

WordPress is the best for regular updates to sites. In fact I tweak the template and make it look like a regular site and not just a blog, but I still get the WordPress functionality that’s the best.

Hi Amy,
Boy, am I enjoying your blog! You are truly inspirational. How do you get it all done with 100 websites and 4 little ones to take care of?

I have a wordpress blog and purchased the templates mentioned above. I was wondering if you use the Unique Article Wizard that you mentioned for adding content to your blogs, or do you add all the content yourself?

If I sound clueless, it’s because I am. Sorry! … So your niche sites now look, feel and act like blogs? Is that why your income from that website quadrupled? A couple of people mentioned Google indexed and crawled their site…1. How does one know that Google has done this? 2. Why is wordpress responsible for this?

Hamida. I did that with one of my sites too and my traffic went WAY down for 4 or 5 months. It is now much stronger than before though now that I’m back up in first 5 results on google for my main keywords. Definitely worth the temporary dip in traffic for the long-term results!

I came across your blog and I am curious- is your debt amount of $72,900 all in credit card debt or does it include your mortgage? Just curious. I hope for your sake it includes your mortgage. That will be great if you can have it paid off in full soon.

I converted a few of my sites recently and in a way I was sorry I did because they all lost their rank (most were on page 1 of Google) and lost pr as well. I’m now working on building them back up but it hasn’t been easy.

That’s something I should do, too, though in most cases, my simple article templates give me higher CTRs and affiliate conversions than my blog templates. Blogs always seem to be busier and more distracting to the eye, though I’m sure if I looked hard enough, I could find some templates that resemble my simple article pages.

And congrats on increasing your earnings with you upgrade!

This is a good idea. I recently decided that I love blogging, so instead of doing niche websites I would put together niche blogs. Seems to attract a stronger readership.

You've really been an inspiration to me, as I've been trying to set up a decent website to provide tips for making money online. Thanks a lot amy! http://gimmemoolah.blogspot.com/

Wow. That certainly sounds like a lot of work. Definitely worth it though if it can help quadruple your daily earnings from some sites!

I’m just starting out with niche sites and am planning on doing the exact same thing, make them all wordpress blogs. It took Google just one day to index one of my brand new sites and it was a cheap .info! I did nothing to get Google to find it. WordPress is the way to go.

Amy, i’ve found that google really likes to crawl blogs with new content. My niche blogs are starting to move up in the rankings. Good idea to convert your sites to wordpress. Nice templates by the way.
