I created that landing page and each one shoots off into its own blog. Do you feel this is a good idea and will work decently if I keep at it and get to creating more posts/categories with rich keyword texts. |
I think the blogs are a good idea but not so sure about the landing page. As you said yourself, you are going to be updating the blogs with new posts regularly, but how will the landing page change? It will end up as a fairly static page with little text on it. I couldn't see the purpose of it when all the niches you were promoting were different anyway.
I would concentrate on the blogs themselves - get some better themes for the blogs (there are loads of free ones around) and make them more attractive for the surfer. Pack them out with lots more posts and make it clear the blog updates regularly. To achieve this, look into combining some syndicated RSS feeds with your own hand-written posts to keep the content changing regularly. RSS feeds can be set to automatically update your blog with content from your sponsors - yes search engines don't rank RSS-fed blogs as highly as hand-written blogs, which is why you don't use them exclusively, but rather combine them with your own hand-written posts. Get the feeds to update the blog four times a week and write three posts a week yourself - and voila! - You are updating daily!
Then also work on making the blogs more attractive to the search engines (add the Google Sitemap Generator plugin for example as this is a great SEO tool and submits your changes to Google every time your blog changes). There are also other really useful plugins you can get (such as the Google Analytics or Whassup plugins which will give you great stats on where your surfers come from, what they look at on your blog, etc . . - which in turn will let you know what to concentrate on).
Keep going my friend - you have come a long way since we first spoke on this thread (oh my god, I sound like Yoda!
