The number of hours is usually relatively low per month since the content and sites are already made. I do have times like now when I’m spending 4 or 5 hours a day on my sites, but right now that’s because my dedicated server has been compromised! Had so far 5 of my domains hacked and files changed on them, someone was using my sites for links to their sites! So spending quite a lot of time tracking down problems and working on server security (which is damn complicated). Some how the hacker got my FTP passwords and not tracked how yet!! Not sure the server is fully secure right now, fortunately I have backups so worst case scenario I get another dedicated server and start again (takes about a week to install all those sites on a server!!).

I suppose on average I spend 20 hours a month on maintaining the sites, creating new content etc…, but a lot of that I don’t NEED to do, for example the three sites I mention working on in my revenue report above don’t make a great deal of money, they are sites for fun/personal interest which have AdSense added. I’m awful at fully monetising my traffic.
