I haven't tried the splogs approach yet, but I might if I can figure some way to make them interesting enough. Otherwise those seem like a waste of time for the small rewards I hear most people are getting. To leverage results on those, I'll most likely try Kaktusan's program that Lemmy mentioned.

I do have one blog where originally I was going to use that 50/50 mix of porn promo and commentary/rants. It turned out to be less about porn than intended, but that's working since the blog is only part of a site, not the whole draw. (A standalone blog is one of the next things on the 'things to test soon' list.) So for now it's news, humor and some commentary with a a bit of porn flavorings mixed in. It's one of five sections on that site and is holding its own by adding some sticky to the site.

And as Grandma brought up, I'd be interested in link exchanges with those who spend time making their blogs worth visiting.
