If anyone has seen those infomercials that will give you ten template sites to sell their products as part of their package. Sounds great? Well, my thoughts is, who cares. Ten sites that will not be seen is just as useless as one site that will not be seen. Now, if you have ten sites that are positioned on Google well; that is a different story. Just having ten brand new sites will not sell your products or services even if they are linked together.

I always give the advice to Real Estate professionals and other people, focus on one site first. One site positioned well will bring in more leads than ten sites that will not be seen by anyone who cares or may have a few long tail search terms. Keep driving traffic to that one site with linking, blogs, linkedin, twitter, and any other social media you use. Trying to get ten sites off the ground will consume your time and will give you mediocre results than spending your time one site.

One thing to avoid with multiple sites is having duplicate content, basically one site ten times. Advanced access got hit hard with this some years back with their template sites when Google started checking for duplicate content. It was one site 30,000+ times. It should be a commandment "thou shalt be unique onto itself". Only one site will gain any page rank and the rest will fall in the shadows.

Moral of the story: focus on one site at a time to maximize your blood, sweat, and tears that you put into your site.
