- Keywords. Should i try to go with just one single keyword and spend all my energy on that one, or is it better to go with a two words or more search phrase?

Think multiple keyword phrases. With a blog you can get pretty spammy sounding if you stick with a single keyword / phrase for too long. Remember too that ultimately each post is also a single page.

And also, all these images feat. pornstars with big tits, so maybe "Candy_Manson_search_phrase_001.jpg", or am i way out of line? lol

Again you want to be careful with getting spammy but the answer is yes

Or maybe i should go with just one and update it everyday, try to find as many quality hardlink trades as possible etc., i dont know?

You'll find different answers for different peoples preferences. One way works for some the other works for me.

I'd say start with one for a little bit and find out how much work it is for you. Some people can put together good posts pretty quickly and then there's others, like me, who can take an hour or so to think through a post.

It also depends on the length of the post as to the amount of time to write it.

Once your up to speed then start increasing the number of blogs you build.

I'd stick to hand written myself. Feeds suck and if you have any pride in what your doing you'll end up editing a large percentage of them anyway.

Thanks in advance

I will typically work three links into a post. The picture linking to a gallery and then I'll work in a link to the tour and if the sponsor offers it a link to the join page.

I figure I'm a salesman, no reason I can't ask for the sale directly.
