2. How do I hide the affiliate link codes so as not to be associated with the old sites. Can I use bitly or something like that?

Thanks!
1. If you're being naughty with certain aspects of your network, yes. I do it for safety reasons - just in case something hits the fan and I'm not able to recover. One example might be a blacklist of sites with certain whois information. I guarantee that Google will not look favorably on 1 site that has the same info as 99 other sites that all host illegal content, malware etc. etc.

I also do some spinning projects which Google might not like the idea of. To keep myself as safe as possible, I have them distributed across a number of Whois details, addresses, affiliate link codes, hosts, etc. - I'd say I have about 7 independent networks for one project and it's doing quite well. Would it be the same if it were all under one IP and other info? I don't know. But what I do know is that if one tanks, the other 6 will survive.

2. I don't know how Google handles URL shortening services and if they bother to follow through a redirect. This might be better answered by someone that has experience with ultra black-hat stuff. I rarely dabble in sites that need this type of stuff. One obvious solution is to talk to your affiliate provider and ask for multiple refs.

1) What is the best amount of text for a Wordpress blog post per domain? Lets say I have 100 blogs, and I would like to update them, on a regular basis. How much text would be enough?

a) one update per 5 days
b) one update per 7 days
c) one update per 10 days
d) one update per 15 days
e) one update per month

How many sings (or, lets say sentences) would be the best way to go, with the above scheduling? I would like to update as many domains as possible, and get the best possible results, as far as the seo goes. In general, how much text is enough, and would it depend on frequency of posting too?

2) What other types of content would you recommend in Wordpress posts? Pictures, picture galleries, embedded videos, mix it all up? If mix it all up (for variety, which I know is good), how to do it? What would be the best way to go?

Thanks.
1. What you've got to understand is that Google is very plastic with its approach to sites. There's no steadfast rule where they turn around and demand a specific number of updates per site per week or whatever. Put it this way: a site with one update an hour is going to get a little bit of favor for that very reason, but one that does it weekly a little less, and monthly, even less. I generally mix my post times up - some sites have 1 post a day for 2 months, others get three posts a month for a year. Try different things and see what works for you. I'd keep it around 1 a day as a maximum, though. In terms of return on investment so you can max/min? One a week will be somewhere around the best. Of course, it does depend on the type of site you have and what keywords you want to rank for.

50-100 words should be fine per post. As natural as possible, really. I've had great sites rank with spun text that was only a few sentences long - more text isn't always the answer. I firmly believe that the more posts/pages you have on a site, the better. It makes little sense to advertise a video with 500 words describing the scene. That doesn't really do much for the user of for Google. A few brief sentences and you're golden.

2. I'm old school with personal projects: one image, one piece of text, 'click here to see more'. A 100 or so posts a site and I move on. No more than a few hours on each because I don't like wasting my time. I haven't got the head for a central project apart from my businesses. You may find success in mixing things up, and my best advice would be to follow what others are doing. It's really that simple sometimes.

Google stuff like: big black cocks "powered by wordpress" - that will show you what certain people are doing with wordpress for adult content. If they're ranking well, chances are their approach to hosting adult content using WP as a CMS is pretty damn good. This is one example I came across that looks like it does well: FOR SIZE QUEENS | Where Size DOES Matter

ClubSaraJay.com
ClubSaraJay.net
ClubSaraJay.org
sara-jay.com
sara-jay.net
sara-jay.org
club-sara-jay.com
club-sara-jay.net
club-sara-jay.org

Would it be correct, somehow correct, more or less. If not, how would you organize such domains (or similar ones), in order, as far as predictability of good rankings, if all other factors would be the same.

Would it be better to go with ClubSaraJay.com, instead of sara-jay.net or sara-jay.org? I've been working on sites based on the second type (the last two mentioned here), and rankings have not been very good (for various reasons, we've changed a lot of things for the better too). Would I just go for all .com, with no hyphens. I have a feeling, that this would be the best way to go...

Thanks.
I think domains matter less and less in this day and age for certain keywords. Google has been pretty firm in saying that .com will always be worthy (in response to the latest range of premium TLDs such as .photography, .nyc, .lawyer or whatever else) and I just focus on the brandability of a URL as opposed to its ability to match keywords.

I personally think that domains without hyphens are more attractive. I don't think it'll be too long before Google implements a procedure for webmasters to stylize their domains in Serps. So that Bigblackcocks.com - Porn For Women, Erotica For Women reads as Bigblackcocks.com - Porn For Women, Erotica For Women - that's one small advantage that hyphenated URLs have: it's easier to read them.

Put it this way, there's never been a time when I've told a client that the choice of URL from a styalistic point of view is the reason why they're not ranking well. Of course, if you build a site for big black cocks on the domain name www.LondonPubReviews.com, you're going to have less success than on the URL BigBlackCocks.com - but will domains be the difference between ranking #1 and #10? In 90% of cases, no. There are some niche scenarios where URLs are important and certain keywords I've searched depend heavily on the usage of keywords in the URL, but I think so long as you've got the model lane in there, it won't matter.

I do suggest that you stick to .com though - it's trustworthy. People don't look at .net and .org the same way they do .com.

Do me a favor: name me 5 large sites that use .net or .org? Yeah, I can't either.

In fact, the only one I CAN think of is Wikipedia. Which interestingly enough has a domain name that isn't perfect. You'd find that across most of the top sites too. Think about it: what would be optimal names for certain projects?

Google.com - SearchTheInternet.com
Facebook.com - SocialNetworkProfiles.com
YouTube.com - WatchVideosOnline.com
Tumblr.com - FreeBloggingService.com
Paypal.com - SendMoney.com

etc. etc.

Bottom line: don't worry too much about domain names. Focus on good content and keeping people around. Google doesn't give a shit if your URL is bad given that it actually delivers a valuable experience to the user.
