Well I've been blogging for about 2 months and been reading NetPond as much as I can and I've learned quite a bit of good general information. With reading through the threads I often have questions that I want to ask but haven't been ready to post yet so here's a bunch of questions that I'm looking for input on. There may end up being a lot so if you have some info your willing to give on even just one of the questions all will be appreciated.
Some background info on my blogs. I currently use wordpress on my own host with my own domain. I now have three blogs 1 running about 2 months the other 2 running about 1 month. I also just signed up for a thumbblogger account and have been messing with that as well as gallery2blog and downloaded the trial version of Blogs Automater. So far all of my blogs are Babe Blogs. Or at least that's the term I commonly see them referred to.
Let the questions begin
1) SEO and wordpress. I've gotten myself the all in one seo wordpress plugin and have been making sure to get keywords in there with all my posts. What I keep trying to figure out is how much is too much. I usually add the same or similar keywords in all the fields. With each post I have a title (with keywords) tags (with keywords) and then title tags (with key words) and also tags in my picture names. I've read in several places that too dense of keywords hurts your SEO. Am I over doing it? How many keywords should I use in each of these sections AND should they all be the same or different ones in different fields?
2) Sponsors- I think I've got too many
I feel like I have too much content to use. I've currently signed up as an affiliate with about 15 sponsers all through ccbill (which I like becuase I can keep them all in one place) but I can't really figure out how to sort them into my blogs. Should I be using content from each sponsor when it's specific to my niche. OR should I just try and use all the content from 1or2 on a single blog and then use two different sponsors on another blog? Should I filter stuff for quality control? Or just go with what they give me? I don't want to post too often on my blogs becuase it seems like 3-4 times a week is enough but sometimes I have enough content for daily or more often. Just as an example if I'm using a sponsor that's NOT specific for BIG BOOBs niches but am pulling models that have BIG BOOBs from their affiliate content is this bad? I'm then essentially promoting a site that isn't specific to my niche. Sometimes Content is too hard for me to pass up on posting to one of my blogs.
3) Link Trades - I think I'm at the point where I need to start trying to trade some links with other webmasters but my concern is that since I'm a noobie what is it that I can offer in the trade other than a link for SE purposes? I barely have enough traffic to push people to my other blogs let alone a third party.
4) Blogging tools. I need to find some software that will allow me to create all my blog posts in one location and then publish them to a selected blog. Does WPMU work in this way? Even across multiple domains? Seems like Blog Organizer would work in this way just not sure if I want to shell out the cash for it just yet.
5) RSS feed blog post creation. I really like the Blog Automater software but constantly run into rss feeds with crappy thumbs and usually too small for my purposes. Does anyone know of software that would spider the feed and let me choose a picture to use as a post? I have found a great webmaster rss feed from one sponser specific for blog posting which has nice big pics to go with the feed. Is this common and I'm just not finding them yet?
Ok at this point I realize that I've got too much here for anyone to read through all the way so I better stop here and just see if anyone has any suggestions or input. Thanks in advance hopefully in the future I can be as helpful to others as I see forum members at netpond being.
