Ken,
I'm going to comment about your question on mini sites. You can't argue with success, and I'm studying the mini concept right now.
But my theme site on gardening generates it's own traffic, and makes it's own sales. Because of the extensive amount of free content on the site I get all kinds of links from all over the web, free newspaper and magazine space, and an occasional mention on TV.
Even some of the big magazines link their sites to mine. I spend very little time and almost no money promoting that site. It does that on it's own. It is also my primary income producer through product sales alone. I don't sell any adverising space on the site or in my E-zine.
If it didn't generate it's own traffic, I'm not sure how I would bring it traffic. It would be costly. The techniques we use in the opp market are not accepted in the gardening arena.
Just thought I'd share that.
