“blackhats” ?? As if having multiple sites was an evil, devious tactic? C’mon.

It’s a basic point… having more than one site in a niche, but there is so much more to it than just “make another site”. The experience may help you rise to a higher level of webmastering, which is all good.

Corner Store Sites

if you are going to buy an old established website, have the decency to at least look after it. Clean it up, let it rank as a back-up site for the one you have ranking already.

Blackhats have been using this strategy for ages (for slightly different reasons but not so much different that it would stop me from mentioning it here). You cannot count on one site only, not only for the reasons of algorithm shifts and changes but also because of how difficult it is nowadays to optimize for both search engines (or for all three of them, for that matter). Besides if we talk about long tail searches and stuff it is much easier to target these with several sites than with just one.

The danger is becoming addicted to having sites and ending up with 20 of them on 10 niches.
