As usual, I have a completely different approach than you, . I barely have enough time in the day to build sites for the 3 or 4 niches that i work in.

Sure I could crank out templated junk at a high rate and maybe I will do that someday (if I can ever get that damned script working). But I find that I have better luck building quality sites with fresh content in the niches that I enjoy. Because of this, I have devoted bookmarkers that come back day-after-day. And because they trust me, they often are anxious to try paysites that I present to them.

I don't have tons of traffic but the traffic that I have is VERY productive.

My advice... find your niches, work the hell out of them and become the master!
