Many niche websites or a few large sites

My strategy untill recent was building small webstes around a small niche. But lately I started to think it might be a good idea to start a few large authority sites. I registered 7 domains in the field of money, health, law, travel, electronics, business and gadgets. Each will be a portal kind of site with lots of categories. The first I started to work on was the money site at http://moneyfied.com I just added 3 posts there. One about the current credit criss, buying stock in the bear market and one I like is called warren buffet quotes
The main reason why i shifted from small sites to large is the abilty to build backlinks to one point that will spread out over the whole site. With a lot of small site your attention is to much all over the place that it’s easy to stop doing all the things you would like to do in promoting a website.

But I do not say I will stop building small sites as that is a profitable way also but I will shift my focus more on the large sites.

Revolution Wordpress Themes Gone after November 1st 2008

Brian the author of the revolution themes made an announcement that I didn’t saw coming. He pulles all his themes of the market starting November 1st 2008.

So if you want to buy any revolution theme this is the moment.

He will start to make new themes that will be licenced under the GPL butto protect the integraty of the current premium themes he will no longer be offering those. His reason for doing this is that he feeld he owes the Wordpress community his whole business and the opportunity to leave his job. So as a thank you he will start to create free themes. Nice thoughts and completely in spirit of the open source community.
