I didn't really know where to post these questions... since they fall into different categories. I thought this would be a safe place to post. What is "White Hat" and "Black Hat?" I read a lot of threads on DP about them. Are there any affiliate programs out there work well with small blogs? I'd like to make around $50 a month. I think this is realistic. My revenue can grow with my blog. (Please don't suggest Google ads) Is there an easy way to optimize my blog for SEs on blogspot? I don't have PR yet (newer blog), I'm still trying to develope quality backlinks but finding it difficult because most DP members are so focused on PR that it is difficult to develope any interest. Does anyone out there look for quality writing over PR? This is my blog: http://www.biz-tone.blogspot.com. I'm looking make a new layout with similar colors... but I need something a little more exciting. Any suggestions? Where is a good place to start when looking niche focused traffic? I have more to say about different niches. I am thinking about starting 2-3 other blogs. While I want to maintain quality for my readers, I do want to semi-strech my focus. I have seen others on DP running around 4-8 blogs. Does this help with backlinks? I'm sure it does... but search engines are pretty smart too. Anybody have experience with this? Anything helps. Thanks for your time!
