not a good idea to develop one large name

[wesley]

I have agonized over developping a very good one word name that I own. I finally took the plunge last month and developped about 10 mini sites each with its own design and topic.

The sites are not linked in any way, nor does the home page have any links to the sites. They operate independently. I thought it might be a lot cheaper than buying more domains (which I don't need) plus when I get the urge to speak out on a topic, I could write immediately and upload the file.

This morning, I was doing some random checking and it hit me that when you type
site:domainname.com

into the search engines, you get all pages so basically you have just given away all your ideas and keywords.

If the sites were on individual domains, no-one would know what else you own. I am not sure I like the idea of someone having access to my whole business model.
