Hey guys,
This seems like a nice thread, the water looks warm so I'll jump in.
I have two SBI websites. One I started about 1½ years ago that I totally butchered because I used bad keywords but the traffic on it has been climbing for the last 6 months and it has over 10,000 pageviews/month.
My new SBI site I started 3 months ago and it has already been sniffing at 200 uniques/day and has so far this month had over 10,000 pageviews so the keywords do definitely matter and I've been working like a maniac on it, I have about 160 pages up.
My first website is paying for itself and making $100-200/month mostly from affiliates and advertising, I am satisfied with that considering the horrible butchering of keywords and all that.
My second website is making around $100/month already from adsense and affiliates.
I think of myself as a pretty tech-savvy guy, I've been around computers ever since I was 12-13 and my father brought home our first computer (about 10 years ago).
Like I've told you before Rebecca, I have my eyes on one of those templates as soon as my second website starts making enough money to pay for it and if my first website keeps improving like it has I might just do one there as well.
Btw Rebecca, how much does your hosting cost outside of SBI? I've been looking into that for my next website but a good host like Pair (which Steve uses I think) costs almost as much as SBI for a whole year, that makes me just want to stick with SBI.
Edit: I just talked to DreamHost support (where I host my poker blog) and they said that I could host as many websites as I liked for the same price on my current one, that makes things a little bit different
