Hey AdultKing, just wanted to thank you again for all of your advice and give you an update on how things are coming along.
I followed most of your advice, with the exception of the 5 posts per week. I have a few blogs and since I'm still writing everything myself and working FT (and OT alot), I did what I could handle at the time. BUT the main thing is that one of my blogs has jumped from PR0 to PR2, which was a nice surprise and I have 20 sign ups for one affil prog and 1 on a brand new affil program! I took screenies but since I don't have 30 posts, I cant link them...
One of my lines earned over 1.7k for the month of Oct., thanks to the increase in traffic on the blogs I'm sure. That's actually my best month so far on any single line (I'm very part time PSO).
I've done some additional onsite SEO, such as internal linking, popular posts, etc. and that seems to have helped quite a bit. It's nice to see some of my blogs ranking fairly well for my KWS. Wp really has some great SEO plugins which have helped ensure that my posts are SEO'd well.
I think I'm becoming addicted to purchasing domains. I have quite a few which are parked, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase a cool domain name for my niches. I also purchased an additional hosting plan, so that I have more than 1 IP. Maybe next year, I'll move everything to my own server.
You know, you mentioned before not to worry so much about backlinks, and I haven't really. I've noticed that my blogs have less backlinks than many of my competitions' websites and many of them have less text/articles/posts than my blogs. It's sort of surprising that I'm ranking decent at all with hardly any backlinks. I guess it all goes back to fresh, original content.
You know, this blogging stuff is really fun. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I'm also enjoying incorporating some Social Media into the mix as well. I'm just wondering how the heck I'm going to manage so many blogs by myself. I have 3-4 hours a day during the week maximum to devote to blogging and phoning, and the weekends, I get drunk lol, hang out, and work on the sites and phone. I wish I had more time!!! Ugh.
Oh, as I re-read you post here, I noticed that you suggest changing the affil links to no-follow. Do you think that it appears more natural to Google if they're left as follow or do you think Google doesn't really take that into consideration? I was just wondering if Google may see the no follow links and assume that I'm trying increase my rank by not sending any juice to affils. (even though I want to keep as much juice as I can and I would attempting to increase my rank). What do you think?
