Thanks for your comments Zygotesix, yeah I agree that polyamorous blogger would be a bad angle for the main character of the site. Your experience sounded pretty eye-opening! You said she was married for three years, do you mean they split up after that? Not that it matters really. I guess I'm sceptical about a polyamorous relationship lasting the test of time.
Well I think I've got my main blogger now so I'm just waiting for her to provide me with the first ten posts and I'll see how Jackie Logan progresses from there.
I've written quite a lot of pages & posts for the site, some of which are scheduled for the next few weeks. These are to boost the site content and will run in addition to the main blog diary. I've also got a voluntary blogger providing a couple of posts each week about online dating from a vegan perspective so that could be interesting.
Still not decided on the character pics but I might rope in one of my friends if I can't get anything else soon.
I've added lots of affiliate links and changed out most of the adsense blocks for actual aff links.
I have a couple of questions. I don't really understanding pinging and trackbacks. I've so far had 8 comments posted on one blog post, clearly from other blogs who are looking for a link. Seven of these were caught by akismet spam. Should I delete them or allow them? Do they bring any benefit to my site or can they cause damage?
The other thing I don't fully understand is tags. How many tags is appropriate for each post? What I've been doing is putting the main search term for the post (Eg. Vegan Dating) into Wordze then I take every single keyword generated from that search and use them as tags for the post. This means I now have 772 tags across the site. Is that excessive or good for SEO?
I'm also a bit disappointed in the lack of updates on this thread but I'm also disappointed in myself. I guess its a busy time of year for people, what with holidays & socialising in the sun
