SEO/linking strategies for 33 old domains

[SexVideoContent]

I know the basics of optimizing a page for SEO but have some questions about setting up a linked network. I know this is lengthy but I've never seen this addressed anywhere.

I have some (essentially) unused domains that are almost all over 1 year old - and presumably out of google's sandbox - some have PR, and I'd like to set up some type of small network with them to gain SE traffic.

Just looking for suggestions/critiques of my strategy:

I have one PR4 to play with, 8 PR2, 8 PR1, and 16 PR0 (don't know if these are even indexed yet)

I was thinking of setting these up in groups of 3 or 4 of the lowest PR, with each site linked to one another, and also have each site with a one way link to one of the PR2 sites.

Then take a group of the PR2 sites, link all of those together, and have each with a one way link to the PR4 site.

So it ends up making a group of small independant groups of 3 or 4 sites linked to one another, with one way links to a 'minor hub' site; these 'minor hub' sites are linked together and also have a one way link to the 'major hub' site, which I expect would get some benefit from having all the other sites linkiing to it directly or indirectly.

Any comments on the above approach?

My questions are:
1. Should I set up each of these domains on a different class C IP? Right now they are all on the same IP address.

2. If yes to the previous question, should I also assign each of them to a separate nameserver?

3. Most of the domains have keywords in the url, however most of them aren't really the keywords I'd like to target; when I create pages for the site should I put the text and the links on the index.htm page or on a page like domain.com/keyword.htm ?

4. If I make a page on one site like domain1.com/keyword1.htm, should I link it to a page named domain2.com/keyword1.htm on the second domain, or should I use some variant that contains the keyword in the page name on the second domain?

5. Would it be adviseable to target a second keyword on a domain? Such as having domain.com/keyword1.htm as well as domain.com/keyword2.htm, a second page targetting a different keyword?

6. If so, and the linking scheme is already in place on the keyword1.htm pages, should I duplicate the linking scheme between the same sites for the keyword2.htm pages? My concern is that might seem unnatural and get flagged by the SE; if that is so, should I just set up totally different links for the secondary keywords, to sites not in this group described above?

TIA for any replies to this lengthy post.

There are so many factors and possibilities, you could link them up in a hundred different ways, and never once get agreement from everybody as to what was the best.

In general, you want to link based on keywords and themes. Use the PR you have to try to lead the spiders effectively into your network, but don't link based on PR by itself.

As to your IP question, if it's easy and cheap for you to use seperate IPs and get seperate class c's, then do that. There are people who always do that, there are people who say it doesn't make a difference.

The work of the thing is to generate as much unique text content as you can afford to do, time-wise.

You don't want to link to yourself at all at least if you're after Google. I'm not saying I don't, I do, but if your sites are so lame that no one but yourself links to them, then it shouldn't show up in the search engines to begin with. If your sites are brand new, then you want to improve your sites' visibility. Again, linking from another PR 0 site won't help in that department.

IP and hosting really doesn't matter unless you're trying to keep black hat spam separate from your legit sites. As to keywords in domains and filenames, it doesn't matter much either.
