Great Start, but how much to keep posting?

Hi everybody,

I set up a 13 page site in a niche market, and I'm off to a great start so far (after just a day!) But I'm not sure how much I need to keep posting to its accompanying blog.

I set this site up with a blog off of a subdirectory of the domain, a squidoo lens, linked everything together, used various promotion means and posted 3 times right away, and here are my results:

20 url's indexed in google overnight. This domain had no real traction prior to last night.
My Squidoo lens is already in the low 6,000's for the gadgets and tech category, it's a day old.

I'm getting affiliate clicks already and a few people have "keyword spied" me. I guess I should be flattered.

I had a quick question though. I had planned on pre-writing and scheduling through wordpress, 2 weeks worth of blog posts, (3 times a day), (42 posts) But after writing a few days worth, I'm really wondering how necessary this is?

What do you guys recommend, from experience? Should I cut back on the posts, emphasize more on the Squidoo lens, or work on building links from elsewhere?

This is the first time I've built a site following this plan I laid out, and I've been pleased with the fast indexing and visits, but I'm just concerned that if I sit down for 6 hours and type up a bunch of blog posts, I might be able to spend that time better.

    Spread out the blog posts and try to post every two-three days to your blog and improve the squidoo lens gradually, doing something to it every day or so. Squidoo is set up to reward you if you change something frequently.

    Add some articles to the top directories, EZA should be unique so ue your own discretion as to whether to put them there first on on your blog.

    Start building backlinks with Social Bookmarks and RSS feeds.

    Good luck!

    Outsource the creation of 60 blog posts of around 150 words each, shouldn't be more than a dollar or 2 each. Then spread them out to post every second day. Social bookmark, directory submission, blog comments, forum posts for the same 2 month period. Do it sporadically like every 2 days or 3 days.

    Get 20 or so article written and submit them to EZA at one per day. After they are all approved wait a week and monitor which are the best performing 10 in terms if views and CTR. Have those 10 mass submitted through isnare or another service of your choice.

    If yo uoutsource all this it might cost you 300 - 400 dollars.

    At the 2 month mark reassess how much money you've made. If youve made anything above 30% return on your investment (include your time in this) continue the process. If youve made SOME money then keep the process going but scale it back.

    If you pay to have this done then while the outsourcers are working you can be building your next site and repeating the process.

    The best pieces of advice are to keep moving, leverage other people and dont be afraid to invest money.

    Hope this helps!
