Amazing concept! I totally agree with you Shane
I’m working on this approach for quite some time, had created 6 sites and see which sites turn good for me.

Thanks for this brilliant piece of advice

Shane,

I think you’re exactly right. I started my site, Atlanta on the Cheap, a month ago, and I’ve noticed the same thing. Consistent updates, relevant information, and a targeted audience generate much love from Google, email subscribers and other return visitors.

Wow… I totally needed to read this!

Whenever I begin to see some success with one of my sites, I can’t help but feel the itch to start another project. My mind begins do fantastic math (which always results in me quitting my day job) and before you know it, I’ve got pen and paper out to draft a new site.

I think to truly “go deep,” you need to dedicate at least a good year of consistent updates to a site. If your site has any value, you’ll definitely know it by then (whether it’s by traffic or income)… not to mention you’ll have outlasted most of your upstart competitors. As a bonus, after a good year of being indexed by Google, you’ll start to see some extra love from search traffic.

Yep, traffic’s a good measure. If you’re onto something, many times you’ll see it in your traffic. You may see it in your revenue instead, though, or it may be that you realize that you’ve discovered a great niche. “Success” can take many forms.

>But how does one really know when one has a project or concept that is of the �go deep� caliber?

Measure your traffic… If you’ve done good, Google and/or returning visitors will reward you!

Shane:

Yes, I agree with you about going deep. I guess at the moment, I am going wide as I prepare myself to go deep. Your analysis makes a lot of sense. But how does one really know when one has a project or concept that is of the “go deep” caliber? And then, there a so many intangibles which require that all the cylinders are flowing at the right level. I am not there yet, but this article helps me refocus, regroup and rethink about my various projects.

I totally agree with you. This is absolutely true. Most people waste too much time reading and researching without putting what they have learned to practice. And once you have found your own standards and methods, that makes for a good routine and guideline.
