I was reading that Yahoo have just launched a massive site that is basically just scraping content off the internet, auto formatting it and making big money. Probably takes less manhours to keep it going than my one not so hi tech blog! Isnt the main deciding factor for number of sites, the amount of automation you have got going for you?

Someone was bragging about their huge amount of traffic after just launching. I guess that was you. I remember everyone asking you how you got so much traffic in such a short amount of time. I was wondering the same thing. Now it makes sense. There was a thread on sitepoint.com around a year ago about laptopgamers.com.

Well both of you are right. But every site out there on the web...has had its humble beginings. A business is like a child or children (if you have more than one business), you have to take care of your business - feed it, water it, invest time in to it, upgrade it...etc...etc...like you do with kids. I don't know much yet in this internet game...but what I do know in the brick and motar world, is you start a business...and GET IT BIG! Some may say turn it into "The Cash Cow". Then with the cash from the cash cow - you diversify. With a CASH COW for $$$$ flow there is room for mistakes on your side line business ot just money to help the other site or business to get big, but with out that home run site....your just in the small leagues...trying to get big.

To figure out a new revenue stream (unobtrusive) from other services (for example, Google News) 2. Google wants to attract users, even those that don't do a lot of searches or click on advertisements. It's a way to build brand equity. Google, or any other business for that matter, don't have to make money on everything it does. Actually, I would think that Google is only releasing services for two reasons:
