i hate to ask but ....

[blacula]

I am an old timer that is trying to get back in the biz after being out for the last 4 years. -- was in the biz for 5 wonderful years.

but I have came across a couple of questions that I cannot seem to get answered

Does AVS still work? -- I am not impressed in what I am seeing avs wise plus as much free content out there available to surfers -- why bother??

yes it is qualified credit card carrying surfers -- but the few sites i have tested -- next to nothing traffic wise -- am I wrong here?

I see the benefits of building plats but not doing daily submits -- I would really like some feedback on this --

second question -- free site templates -- how many times should i use the same one?

third question -- what is an ideal number of posts to make per day to each blog you run -- i am thinking 3 but i have seeing some as much as 20 per day -- any good blog management software out there? -- I am looking for something that will take rss feeds and allow me to distribute them posts by posts between different blogs -- combined with my own posts -- any help in this arena will help -- i left before ever attempting any blogs -- so this is virgin territory for me

i think that covers it for the moment
thanks
