More quality content, please.
It always comes down to this - and I've decided it's time, once again, to ramp up the quality content.
After noticing how my longer articles on the new sites got higher PageRank than the others, I decided to have new length and quality standards for my articles. Now, each article will be a minimum of 500 words, and I'm going to try to pack them with as much good information as possible.
And I think this is going to be easier than ever, because I've found a topic that I'm really enjoying writing about - more than most - DEFINITELY more than wood flooring!
My new goal is to write one article each day - but a really informational one - for one of my new sites. I'm still going to be focusing on the flooring site, too, but am going to hire writers for that - I just don't think I can squeeze yet another wood flooring article out! So here are the last two I wrote, and hopefully the last two I will write: Brazilian cherry flooring and Mesquite flooring.
I also came across a nice handful of PLR articles that I'm going to rewrite and expand upon for one of the new sites - and even though I wouldn't normally associate PLR with quality - I'm hoping that I can shape them enough to be useful and unique, while saving some writing time.

Are you missing some posts or am I crazy?! Because that is entirely possible and I haven't had much sleep lately ;)
Hope all is going well with your sites!

Haha, I deleted the last one - I posted about how I liked this blog - then I saw that the guy put up a cloaking guide... so I decided that linking to him wasn't a great idea.
Hope things are going well with yours too :) I think autumn's going to treat us well - at least I hope!

Jenn, I'm just thinking out loud here, but I'm trying to figure out why you're having so many problems with the wood flooring site.
One idea comes to mind: people just don't use the internet that much for this kind of subject matter. Despite what any keyword reports may tell you, I just have this idea that if it were ME, and I wanted to install wood flooring in my house, I'd go down to the local Home Depot and find a live sales rep and inquire about my options that way.
There's this dude Jeremy Palmer who has a good ebook out about affiliate marketing, and he made a million dollars last year. How? By targeting products that can only be purchased online. For instance: online dating, audiobook downloads, and music mp3s. People looking to purchase these kinds of things are going to go to one place and one place only: the internet. Colin McDougall does something similar: credit card applications. There's another affiliate website I ran across that I kinda use as a teacher just by itself: nutritional-supplement-info.com
The guy who made this site claims to be making $10K a month with just this one site.
And when you look at his subject matter, it's brilliant: people need information about supplements, they search google, they find the information, he suggests a related product. They order it. The product a) needs replenishing every few weeks and b) pays a commission for any returning customers.
So that's my new thing. Think about the subject matter from the customer end. If I needed information on something, would I go to the internet for it, or to a real life store?
Just a thought. I'm still a beginner.

Hey Tim,
Those are great points, and when I started making affiliate sites, I only did ones over stuff I bought online.
Then I went out on a limb and built sites, like this one, that showed promise in the research I did. The reason I'm working on wood flooring is because... even though it gets very few visitors... I still make more from it than most of my others - shhh.
Plus, I wouldn't touch the credit card industry with a ten foot pole - not unless I had some employees cranking out a bunch of good articles... and then I still might not...
