After you're set up, follow the basic rules for long-term success:

•Do not use Black Hat SEO--unethical techniques--to stuff keywords and duplicate content in your blogs.
•Provide value through quality content. If you're selling something, don't be pushy. Try to provide educational and constructive comments on products, services and competitors.
•Use the chicklets you see on many blogs, including a big button for your RSS feed, so visitors and search engines can easily get to your data.
•Place strategic AdSense components to generate money for yourself, while still providing value.
