I wonder if diglet still works 70 bloggs or maybe it is 700 by now. The more the better in my book, If you keep em maintenanced or not. Although periodic update is better.

The answer is simple: the blog is too many if YOU CANT HANDLE it anymore.

I ran a few earlier this year and it got too much. A lot of my sites run off wordpress but I don't use them like a 'blog'.

The only one I keep updated is my Travel Blog.

I agree with this post. As long as you maintain your blogs you won't have much problem on how many are your blog sites.

Juliensimon is right- after reading his post again...

He isn't publishing 70 blogs.

He is leaving comments on 70 blogs.


My answer to his question (now that I understand it):

As long as you're doing it manually (not using scripts,bots, etc..) You can never have too many backlinks to your site- as long as they are on relevant sites that aren't blacklisted by google. Even if the PR benefits stop adding up, you're bound to generate some traffic from all of those comments. You are monetizing your traffic, aren't you?

You can have as many as you can but it's not easy to maintain all the blogs.

I think your days are more than 24 hours , maybe 200 or 300 hrs!!
PR: wait... I: wait... L: wait... LD: wait... I: wait...wait... C: wait... SD: wait...

For you can do as much as you can. the question is, how will you promote it and upadate it daily? Think your capacity.

I don't see how upkeeping 70 blogs is possible. Thinking about 10 is enough to make my head spin. I think that the general sentiment of this thread is pretty much the answer--don't bit off more than you can chew. When you get into the double digits, I think it's a good idea so see, are each of these really all that original? Or are they overlapping in way? I mean, you would have to be an expert on many unrelated topics to keep up so many blogs.

In my opinion you can not have to many. Do as many as you can handle. If I were doing seventy I would try for a hundred.

I also took this to mean he is posting to the blogs not maintaining the blogs which I think would be impossible. I had only one blog and it took up a lot of time trying to promote it and add new contant three times a week. Now I use Squidoo Lens, they are not so demanding.

A quality blog is demanding a ****ty blog is not. I would focus on one blog or focus on a few blogs in the same niche promoting each other. Why would i want a lot of blogs getting a few hits a day. I would want one blog getting thousands of hits a day. You will get better advertisers and sponsors.

nice blog always crowl immediately because google want fresh contains.

I don't think we can only answer this question to the extent of our blogging capabilities. Sure, someone *could* have a hundred blogs, but they might not have time for anything else. Why would someone need to have so many blogs? Would it be to support themselves? If so, they might want to economize their time and efforts as well, because upkeeping so many blogs would be hefty work.

we have a large number of clients using the blogging part of our system who have in excess of 1,000 blogs (mix of wordpress and blogger hosted on domains and free sites). So I think the possibilities are endless, with this said it does come down to unique content but we have automated this process and the updates for our clients which is why we are talking high numbers. Your PR looks good you must be selling premium advertising by now then.

How do you automate the process of avoiding duplicate content, with all your different bloggers on Wordpress and Blogger? Do you have some way that writers can make sure they aren't writing something that hasn't already been written about?

How much readership do you get from these blogs? To have a thousand different ones they must have a narrow niche to prevent overlap

If you have a blog, and want it to be successful you should update it once or more per day. If you can achieve this with multiple blogs, then you should be doing it.

Blog should be niche focus. Generally we don't want eating healthy niche to turn up in a buying car guide niche.
The theme in our blog should not be too wide so that we can suck in the targeted crowd.
Blog should be maintained well...if we can maintain them well...we either 'drop' the blog or get/hire somebody to maintain for us.

Generally we don't want eating healthy niche to turn up in a buying car guide niche.

Why not????
Don't people who eat healthily buy cars?
