That is something I have been struggling with since I started. Both can make you money, but I think listening and doing is much easier than cookie cutter.

This is a tough question because there's always the fear of putting all your eggs in a few baskets using the former option above. However, if you FOCUS on your sites and LISTEN to your visitors/get them to help you address their concerns, your site could be more productive. On the other hand, building cookie cutter/semi-automated sites hundreds if not thousands of times would be a good way to find out what works, how it works, and finetune and replicate.
There's probably no right or wrong answer. The answer just might depend on how well you listen to and process the feedback that your site's stats are giving you.
