Thread: How many sites can a webmaster promote?

I work online full time and I don't outsource anything. It's interesting to see this thread because I'm at a point where I've gotten ahead of myself. I'm launching 5 new sites at once and some of my older sites are not ranking as high as I'd like them to (though they are in the top 10, I still want more . What I've ended up doing is prioritizing. Instead of feeling overwhelmed that I'm promoting so many sites at once, I'm just focusing on one at a time until I feel it's complete, then moving on to the next one.

How long does it usually take to "complete" the promotion for one site?

How many websites are you currently managing? If I'm allowed to ask..

Endless Promo is an ongoing thing. But when I launch a new site I spend 2 weeks to a month on each one to do the "jump-start" advertising. I can do a lot in that time since it's my full time job. That includes directory submissions and link trades mainly. I also use twitter and do mailing list blasts (only if relevant). Maybe a tiny bit of blog commenting if I actually have something useful to say. Occasionally, I buy advertising. My proxy sites only take a day or two to advertise, though.

I don't mind. I'm finding myself in a tight squeeze trying to launch so many new sites at once. I have 6 "main" sites which are well established and still growing. I like the idea of focusing on a few large sites instead of lots of small ones. Additionally, I have 23 proxy sites, a proxy list and a proxy blog. I'm in the process of launching 5 new sites, some in niches I haven't tried yet.

Do you make your small sites and forget about them, or do you constantly market and promote all your sites?

I constantly market and promote my small collection of high-traffic sites. I hope to grow traffic for my 5 new sites throughout the year, that's why I started recently.

i promote one website at a time. but all twelve sites that i have excluding the forums of it. I personally promote them. from forums to forums and directory to directory..

Easy to promote 20 to 100 sites on your own. Really even more to thousands.
Object is not to try to get it all done in a short time frame.

I can handle only 3 websites at a time until the work is finished. Thinking about 4/5 is quite hard for me.

I think that five sites is about the most that one webmaster can promote at one time. But there really isn't a hard and fast rule. 20 to 100 sites sound like a better number that one webmaster can manage.
