Please answer only if you make more than $1000 a month!
The idea of hundreds of sites assumes you can autogenerate the content (i.e. they are all rubbish) - search engine engineers will do everything they can to keep you out. The people who tell you that is the way to go, are probably the experienced ones who are ahead of the game.
I do not run it on the other pages otherwise I would jeopardize sales of my products by running ads of my competitors.
Wow, feel free to sticki me your niche. I'll cut you in for 10%. ;)

That's why I believe it's vital to have one site that really is a powerhouse (PR7, been around for a while, etc.) So when you make a new site, a link from your powerhouse site really has an effect on how quickly it's indexed, anchor text associated with the site, etc.by BadSense
Actually that's not true. Google automatically checks the registrar information of your domain and makes sure that these links are not being counted.

There are some people that sell packages of thousands of articles that you could use, you could republish public domain articles or you could pay somebody to write them for you.

I don't believe you can run multiple GOOD sites. Making my one site as good as it can be takes all my time. If I had two sites, both would suffer. If I had three, all three would go stale in a few months.
I have second site that I don't work on much and it generates income corresponding to the effort I put into it.
I suppose you can run multiple sites if all you care about is income and they are mostly MFA sites, but I'm not sure that 10 bad sites would make more than one good one.
People who are serious need to get down to work, not spend their time looking for a free lunch.
Adsense is biggest earner but I also have 3 other adservers companies.
Diversify
How much money do you make with Adsense a month?
listen newbie, this has been asked a thousand times before.. >$1000
The reason I ask them is because everybody on the web that has made tons of money with adsense says that the way to go is to have a million little sites with adsense on them.
that must be spammers/scrapers, right?
I don't believe you can run multiple GOOD sites.
but surely! the number of sites is rather irrelevant both to the quality of content and the amount of money you generate. only size and time is the limiter in this context.
e.g. you have only one website. for every menu item on your website (item1, item2, forum, company info, etc.) you could as well generate a different website with a different domain. that doesn't make the content any worse, it's only spread over several domains. so what?
So when you make a new site, a link from your powerhouse site really has an effect on how quickly it's indexed
i had a different approach unlike most of you, i assume. a couple of years ago, i started as a hobby more or less simultaneously with tree websites. why? because i had found a good domain widgetblue.com. for which i had content. then i spotted, that widgetred.com and widgetyellow.com were also vacant. i bought them and created slightly different content for them, same niche. could as well have put everything into one domain.
later on, i found out, that my practice was rather unique, because all of my competitors were stuck with only one big website, whereas they still try to get other domains high in the index occasionally, but with rather less success.
today, as i realize the difficulties with sandbox and stuff like that, i can say that i had done everything right. there was no strategy involved in starting with three domains, rather intuition or luck. didn't know much about search engine ranking at that time.
advantage with three established sites and similar content: they are ranking well in the serps, even for the same keywords ;)
so, to answer the question:
three websites.
website 1: 75% of adsense revenue / 90% of time consumption
website 2: 20%
website 3: 5%

Hope this helps.

Actually, no they don't.
Make several times the threshold.
AdSense is considerably less than 50% of income stream and declining.
One site is OK for me because I am essentially retired and income flow from the website is not critical to my existence.
Concentration on the one site enables me to keep well ahead of the competitors when it comes to content.
People who are serious need to get down to work, not spend their time looking for a free lunch.
Absolutely right.
This whole thread boils down to "I don't give a crap about quality or originality (an extremely rare commodity on the web) I just want to make some money and to hell with everything else."
However, with Google's quality control standards and ethics down the tubes, the proliferation of junk sites is really their own fault. Unfortunately, the Adsense Dept. has the same philosphy as most of their webmasters do: Money first, quality second.
Just by starting out with the only motivation that "I want to make some money, $1000+," you've pretty much set the path for yourself to walk down that leads to a junk website with regurgitated content, zero originality, and no hope of contributing anything positive to your visitors or advertisers.
Pretend it isn't so, rationalize, prop it up with excuses, but at the end of the day, more needless pollution of the internet is all you have.
Adsense has become the novice webmaster's crack cocaine and Google is the codependent enabler.
LOL ... beautiful!
I am from India.
I'd predict a lot of "my account has been cancelled" posts if they ever did this.
I'd go so far as to say that anyone with 1000+ sites is simply filling up the web with crap and Google is helping them to do it.
I think if Google wants to clean up its act, the first thing they should do is take a really careful look at any userID that's being used on more than 5 sites. Start with the ones being used on more than 100 sites and work their way down.
Why do you think is this a good idea?
I don't think that there is anything wrong with having 100 sites if you are really commited and your income comes from these site (read: this is your "job"). I think that you are just jealous (not of me, I don't even have one site).
I'd go so far as to say that anyone with 1000+ sites is simply filling up the web with crap and Google is helping them to do it.
This might be true though.
$1500/month X 12 = $18,000 year
1000 domains X $8/year = $8000 year
net $10,000 year = $833/per month
expensive habit
I tried the "smaller site" route and I have a couple that generate a few bucks a day, but they aren't very good and they don't get much attention because I'm too busy with my main site.
I just don't believe that anyone can run 10 really good sites never mind 100 or 1000. It takes all my time to keep one site excellent. Maybe I'm not as talented as some, but I seriously doubt I'm 1/10th as talented and I'm sure I'm not 1/100th or 1/1000th!
Of course not everyone needs an excellent site that ranks highly among it's peers. In fact everyone can't have one. After all only 10 sites can be in any top 10 list! Just good is OK. However I still don't think anyone can give 10 sites the attention they need to be good unless they're simply duplicating copy from elsewhere or they're pretty static "made for AdSense" sites.
About 4 smaller sites with AdSense on (1 built, 3 bought) making a few hundred a month between them.
A new site launched recently which we plan to build into a second major site - this will have AdSense on once traffic levels make it worthwhile.
More than $10,000 per month from one major site
That is great. Could you please post a url to this site or if that is not allowed give me some keywords that make your site appear in google and it's position. I would really like to have a look at it to learn how to make that kind of money from just one site.
It's overflowing with content that I ripped off some poor sucker while he was asleep earning his $5000 per month on adsense. And he thought he was cool.
USP, IPA, PPA, FAA, TPP etc - they all accept me with open arms and chuck fortunes at me for sod all effort. In fact, The SE needs to hire more staff as they can't cope with the workload of cheques they keep sending me.
I also know secrets which gives me God-like status and have to fight off the constant begging emails expecting me to reveal all.
My useless content now infects the web like a virus, in turn sends me yet millions more eager clickers who send yet more cash my way.
I can be happy in the knowledge that I've provided myself with money for old rope, and given bugger all to anyone.
I now have the right to be selected as a member into the 'special club' and to be worshipped by newbies forever and ever. Where the hell is that bronze statue of me? (to mark another adsense website of brilliance).
I just don't believe that anyone can run 10 really good sites never mind 100 or 1000.
Think outside of your box and consider globally.
As a 100+ multiple web site owner there are many reasons why I have so many sites. Consider that our trade name is used across the Net in most major markets such as the UK, Germany, Brazil, Japan, China, India etc, and that we have the company trading name registered for each domain extension such as .co.uk, .cn, .in etc., plus the .com:-)
Now consider that we host those domains in those targeted countries in their own languages, and any proficient SEO will tell you that to rank highly in the local search you need to be hosted in that language in that specific country.
All of a sudden just for the major economies of the world 30-40 domains does not look many and if you really want to cover every Google language engine, look here:
[google.com...]
I also have some trade name specific sites which go into greater depth and are authority sites containing technical details and further images about the products.
Using this method for the past 13-14 years and slowly constructing all these sites and buying more domains for different languages etc has gotten me to the stage I am now and, just to let you into a secret, I have about 20 .eu names booked awaiting release for further expansion.
they're simply duplicating copy from elsewhere
Correct, for many of my different language sites they are a straight translation from the original English language .com, the factual information does not need changing.
or they're pretty static "made for AdSense" sites.
Adsense wasn't even thought of when I started let alone Google however once all the basic information etc is uploaded the sites are pretty much static, they very rarely need any alterations nor updates.
Or are you only interested in collecting a list of websites (in particular, a website that earns over $1,000) for your "learning propose"?
