ecstatic

Right, Lurking around here for too long i expect im about to recieve my first flaming for what i deem a logical question.

My circumstances are i work in a corporate technical side of IT and wish to leave and work for myself in the Web-world.

Which is the better long-term investment?

500 websites that pay 1 dollar a day in revenue that i purchase or 1 website that earns 500 dollars a day that i purchase?

I believe the 500 may be better as it spreads the risk what is the guru's reckoning around here?

Im more interested in acquiring websites than building from scratch as i can funnel money into the project until i reach an even keel with monies in and out as have mortgage etc.

Long term the traffic i assume tapers out by what percentage per year IE: if my 500 websites were making 1 dollar a day in 3 years might they only be making .50 cents a day each? Also if my 500 dollars a day website goes down to 250 after 3 years.

Also in terms of organic growth i assume (please correct if im wrong i need some help!) the best way for growth is through SEO and content for the website is this correct?

Obviously id like to add to the 500 a day constantly and im thinking a mix of PPC affiliate and niche websites. Maintaining the 500 websites is not an issue as thats all i do at work at present (scripter etc).

Thanks for reading
