Large or Small Sites

I came across an interesting discussion over at the warrior forum on the pros and cons of small sites vs large sites in regards Adsense.

Although the question referred to Adsesne sites the discussion is relevant to any site regardless of how it is monetized.

Regardless of the size most seem to agree that sites must be topic specific.

I found the the post from Graig McPherson particularly good, especially the concept of 2 from specific which is a really nice way of targeting a niche without going to specific.

Beware Ready Made Niche Websites

I frequently get emails and mail offering to make me rich; if I just purchase their website package; which is all set up ready to go, and just waiting to make me oodles of cash.

I can even choose whether I want to base my new Internet Empire on

Porn
Gambling
Supplements
etc

And some even want to give me multiple empires, all for the same price… What a bargain!

If It Sounds Too Good To be True..

You’re familiar I’m sure with the saying ..If It Sounds Too Good To be True..It probably is.

What usually on offer is a site template full of affiliate links and google adense code and all you need to do is buy it and the visitors will be there in droves buying stuff and clicking on the adsense ads making you rich.

Of course they fail to mention how you will get the visitors in the first place.

Are Ready Made Websites( Turnkey websites) Bad?

Ready made/Turnkey websites are in fact a very good idea and extremely useful.They could form the basis of a profitable web based business/ business website.

You should remember that all website start with a website template. This website is based on a template developed by Chris Pearson. Chris in turn developed his template on the WordPress platform; which you could call a site template.

All I really needed to do with the site is to add content. So you could say it is 90% ready made.

There is nothing wrong with this type of site and that is how most of the websites on the internet are built.

Deciding Between Good and Bad

So how do you tell a good ready made site from a bad one?

Well as a general rule of thumb the more complete the site is then the more likely it is to be a scam.

By complete I mean does it include the site content as well as the site template? If so then I would keep clear of it.

After all if you had a website that made you $1000 a day for 10 minutes work would you..
