Does this make you think you should be adding even more sites and spending less time on opitmization, or just the opposite? I know some folks advocate opening as many sites as possible and letting nature take it's course. Others, myself included, want to take more time to develop the site a little.

It almost seemed too easy. All my sites, well all four of them, were BANS V3 I will let them run for a few days and see how they work and if all is well I am up for starting a few more BANS sites.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6129','James Mann'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6129','James Mann','I was a bit hesitant to make the change but I updated my BANS sites two days ago and it went so smooth that it scares me a bit.

I will let them run for a few days and see how they work and if all is well I am up for starting a few more BANS sites.

To new to the process. However, reading your post makes me think about another angle with the BANS stores (and not the approach I am using). I am referring to this comment..."The funny part of it is that some of the sites I DID setup a category for have actually been pretty busy"....Maybe you should be putting up many, many stores with just the basic work and walk away and let them "run" on their own. Again, not my approach, but I have read on the main BANS forum that there is at least one or two folks doing this and one them claims to be doing quite well. One more point, I do agree with you that April has been crazy. I have only been in the BANS business since Feb 2008 but it seems to have been extra busy. Plus, my few sites were just beginning to get regular and steady sales on CJ. When I switched to EPN on April 5 things seem to have taken a swan dive. My clicks are finally getting back to normal but sales are non-existent. Anyway, enjoy your time away.

Three weeks ago (to the date) my wife and I had our first child!...and needless to say, my BANS progress has slowed considerably. I'm not happy about it...and I haven't been keeping up with my existing 5 "BANS Empire" sites, let alone getting new sites up and running to make a total of 10! Embarrassing...and I appologize to everyone for not holding up my end of the BANS Empire Series deal: 1 new BANS site per week. I've definately dropped the ball there. :( I know that the first couple months of BANS sites are important for indexing and consistantly developing new content/pages. Unfortunately, I've done very little of that in the past 3 weeks. I'm afraid that my early success may be slowing down due to my lack of progess/work on my sites....when, in acutality, my BANS commissions "should" be higher and higher each month. I guess what I'm asking is: Have I completely screwed up my hard work on these sites by not adding new pages every week? How important is it to continually add to your BANS site?
