Who is Tod Murphy? 

Do you know who this woman is?

She might be the woman who murdered my son.

That depends on what your goal is.

Part time income?

Full time income?

Just sharing the love of your hobby regardless of income?

Something else entirely?

Each one of those will result in a different answer as to how many pages you should strive for.

Back when I first joined (2013), I was wondering the same question and searched the forum to see if anyone had asked. At the time I had found a few threads on the topic and the general answers being given had all said "you need a minimum of 1,000 pages to succeed" or "you need to make one page a day for 3 years before you'll start seeing a profit" (which is 1,095 pages.)

As of today my site is now almost 4 years old and at 1,368 (pubic access) pages (and 3,000+ that are private/password access). While it brings in some income, I would not call it enough to pass for a part time job. As my goal was not for it to be a full time income, that's not an issue for me, but it might be an issue for someone whose goals ARE to have their site be a full-time income.

Than again, I started my SBI site August 2013 and didn't start to monetize it until January 2017, more then 3 years later...so while it's been out there, it hasn't been given a chance to see what income potential it had all that time.

But while most people were answering "1,000 pages before seeing a profit" or "3 years of a page a day before seeing a profit" I've seen people on here with answers all over the place. I remember one women was living full time off her SBI site after only 21 pages and another had mentioned having close to 6,000 pages but was struggling to see any traffic, let alone income. 

Have you ever been to that list of the top SBI sites? The list that includes the Birthday Party site, the Australia site and all those... go have a look at each of those sites.... they have THOUSANDS of pages - THOUSANDS - one of them has over 10,000 pages. That's why they are making such huge incomes. Those sites are truly massive. And every one of them says they post at minimum a new page every single day and strive for at least 3 to 5 pages a day and have done so for 10+ years. 10 years of 1 page a day is 3,650 - 5 pages a day is 18,250 pages after 10 years.




Think about it - if a site with 10k pages gets only 1 visit per page per day, that's 10k page views a day on the site as a whole, and most topics can expect at least 10 views per page per day meaning those sites are getting around 100k visits a day MINIMUM just because of the sheer huge amount of pages they have.

I think that's the logic behind the common answer of "strive for 1,000 pages" because, if you have a 1,000 you are pretty much guaranteed a minimum of 1,000 pages views per day on your site, even if the topic is not popular. Having 1,000 pages allows you to "succeed" in a topic even if the topic has no popularity at all.

No clue how many sites around here have 1k+ pages, but I know when I visited each of the sites SBI has listed as their top earners (the ones buying houses and cars off their SBI income) when I went and looked at their sites, they were all mega sized massively huge sites that had been online for 10 years or more and had waaaaay over 1,000 pages listed in their site indexes.

So, if you are looking for an income like those sites have, I'm thinking there must be truth to the logic of "3 years and 1,000 pages before seeing profit".

As I've just crossed 1,000 (public access) pages myself and have now also started monetizing my site, I suppose I shall soon see first hand if the "1,000 page" answer is true or not.

I think the answer is gonna be different for every site because of differences in popularity of certain topics.

I think the best thing is to write as many pages as you need to get your site topic's message out there, and try to ad at least 1 new page a week. If you want to do this as a full time career, I'd say add 1 new page a day minimum.

But how many pages you need total, seems to be dependent on the topic itself and really has no one size fits all answer. 

Take my topic for example - it's super tiny, sub-niche. It's a hobby that has an estimated 7,000 participants world wide. Well, that means I'm going to struggle to get much traffic, because my topic has very low demand. But, I knew that before I even heard of SBI, so I already knew it'd be difficult to get traffic, long before I started researching to find a web host. (I'm an author and my topic is the small sub-genre, with-in a tiny sub-genre.)

For me, my goal was having a place where my (already established) fans could have a place to access my work. I had originally been posting on fan-fiction . net since the 1990s but they had a ToS change in 2012, so I suddenly had 20 years of stories that were no longer allowed on their site and had to find someplace else to post them.

At the same time my original web host for my previous author home page was having server crashing issues, so I just decided to solve both problems by moving everything off both sites to one consolidated site, and thus ended up on SBI.

Screen shot of old site before the host, server, & url change.

So, when I joined SBI, my goal was to find a web host that could deal with moving 9,772 pages (I still have a long ways to go before they are all moved over to SBI) off of multiple other sites (including 32 blogs) all to one server without having to worry about band-width issues or server downtime.

Thinking about SBI in terms of using it as a business/income was not a deciding factor for me because my goals for needing a web host was a heavy duty server that could handle huge websites.

So, all lot depends too on if your goal is using SBI as an income or not as well. As every one has different goals (and not every one starts a site with a goal of in being an income) that also ends up meaning, how many pages you need to reach your personal goal is going to vary depending on your goals.

My personal feeling is that the best topic is always the topic you would be happy to write a new page for every day for the rest of your life, even if you never made a penny at it.

When you find THAT topic (your heart's true passion) then that's the site topic that best fits you and ultimately will be the one that brings in the most income for you, because it's the one you'll be driven to put the most hard work into.





What Is This Site?

I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life. 

Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).

NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.

ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.

In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters.  I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.

Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.

I DO NOT write Erotica.

I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.

The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

The FBI believes the people behind the impersonation accounts showing up, are relatives of the woman who murdered my son.

People always ask why I have a video recorder running 24/7. Watch these 4 videos of The Scarborough Walmart.


 I have a video recorder running 24/7. Because this parking lot is where I was attacked a second time by the woman who crippled me with the golf club at Southern Maine Community College in 2013 (who also murdered my 8-month-old son at the same time) this is the location of her 2nd attack,  the July 2016 attack with a shopping cart, the attack that left me in a wheelchair and despite over 200 "security cameras" and signs saying there are cameras in use... the police did not find even ONE actual REAL camera. Every "security camera" on this building and parking lot was ALL fake "dummy cameras" and that is why there is no video footage of my son's murderer. 

I started carrying a camera 24/7 the very next day after Scarborough police informed me they could not identify the blonde woman who attacked me or her gold Volvo 240GL station wagon, because EVERY CAMERA at this store's parking lot was an empty case with no real camera inside it. My son would be 12 years old this Christmas 2025, and his murderer walks free, still unidentified because this parking lot did not have real cameras. 

Those things that look like cameras on the building and light poles, are fake, according to the Scarborough Police Department. That is why I have a camera running 24/7, because my son's killer walks free because there was no camera the day we were attacked.

Who is Tod Murphy? 

Do you know who this woman is? She might be the woman who murdered my son. 

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

And I'm sick of real estate agents who are too incompetent to research land ownership before they show up to stick a for sale sign in my yard.

The fact of the matter is, my son was murdered in 2013, and the friends and family of the murderer think it is funny to keep ILLEGALLY listing my land for sale, because apparently their child murdering bitch friend didn't hurt me enough by crippling me with a golf club, ripping my baby out of my 8 month pregnant belly and beating his brains out on the ground with a golf club.

Also, her friends and family like to gaslight me by doxing me on ufo and alien abduction forums, while pretending to be me, and trying to make it look like I believe in ufos or aliens, even though I think people who believe in ufos are raving lunatics and people who claim to be alien abductees are crazy. 

Worse, they've also taken to harassing my WW2 vet homeless friend, by calling HIM an alien, demon, or cryptid and sending alien crazy ufo nutjobs at try to "catch him".

So, yeah, my son was murdered and the murder's friends and family endlessly harass me, my friends, and my family both online and offline, and I'm not happy with it at all.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter.

The FBI is looking for information into:

  1. identifying my son's murderer, 
  2. identifying the scammers who listed my land for sale, 
  3. identifying the impersonators who pretend to be me both online and offline, 
  4. the harassers who are harassing the homeless man and sending the UFO nuts to harass him... 
  • If ANYONE tells you 146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach, Maine is for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322
  • If ANYONE tells you I believe in aliens, demons, or UFOS, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322
  • If ANYONE tells you my homeless friend is an alien, a demon, a cryptid, or named Etiole for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322


I'm going to repeat it because I'm tired of people showing up and making offers:

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

There is NO ONE who has authorization to use my land.

NO ONE.

Not my mother.

Not my father.

Not Ben.

Not my mother’s Atwater relatives.

No one.

If ANY ONE hires you to do ANYTHING on my land, know that you are doing it ILLEGALLY and WITHOUT my knowledge or permission.

My mother has ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

My father has ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

Ben has ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

My mother’s Atwater relatives have ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
