@ Community
I would not advise it, as all they will be are scraper sites, while some may make you some money for little while, those sites usually do not stay in Google’s index very long and do not rank and eventually they will suffer.

What about RSS feeds for content? I want to create a bunch of niche sites and use RSS feeds to populate the content. I know there are WordPress plugins, but is it okay or even worthwhile to replicate content via RSS feeds?

I have around 12 sites I am working on. I have finished them up, well not counting 2 since I will update them with content weekly, but all is left is promotion. I set up daily tasks for each site but in the end, it is too much work to do as I am doing everything manually to get experience. So I think I will work on 2 niches at a time and add one when I get one of the niches making income on autopilot, at least for a while hopefully. Great article as it really is helpful.

I have just started 7 niche sites. I cannot imagine 50 or 100 sites. None of my sites have taken off, but I hope soon

I think a few good niches to start with is certainly better than large numbers of niche sites. Once you have a few sites working for you and you have proven the concept, only then should you start looking into other niches.

@ Success
then I would go back re-optimize for the new keywords, like title in header, blog title within posts, see 6 Step Checklist for On-Site SEO to make the relevant changes for the site wide keywords.

Then once the changes are all made the next time the SE’s crawl your blog all the changes will be implemented and when you ping, new posts will be reoptimized for the new keywords.

Also, if, you are using the All In One SEO Pack for wordpress, (which you should be) then change the title and description in your settings and it will automatically change your title tags for each new post and each old post.

Basically, yes, the search engine spiders, crawl the web constantly, not just once when you first launch, and each crawl they read whatever is there and make changes accordingly. And ping services show what is actually there each time you ping.

But, how old is the blog and how many posts are there now?
Are you completely changing the niche to a whole other niche or just a narrower version of the original niche?

JR, great post! I have a question. Suppose you are doing research and find that your blog is too broad, or that the niche is saturated. Can you keep the blog the way it is and subtly start paring down the content to a more narrow niche, including the title of the blog. And, if you ping the blog, will the new title automatically post to all of the search engines. Thanks in advance for your sage advice

@ Saltwater Aquarium
Exactly why I use BANS, it is so easy to build great sites quick and even upload your own templates, because to create a website from scratch takes a lot and many of us are NOT web designers and that really makes it a huge burden.

@Germz
I think we all agree that branching out is great, but only after you have experience and expertise, not having 100 niche sites when you are new.

@ Ron
I used site:iscoredtickets.com, and it returned 1260 results, but I am not surprised that you get different results, searching your site stats that way usually comes up with different numbers all the time, also there are several databases that Google uses, and that could explain the discrepancy.

No you can change URL’s in comments any time you like, Comment Luv must have been trippin, it happened to me on recently on a couple of blogs I comment on, if it happens again let me know and I will look into it. Thanks.
