Help on SEO and backlink

Greetings to all, I have a few questions in my mind for a while and I figured I should start by asking here. Hope someone can help me.

Some background for a start. I have a new blog abt 1 month old. To date, it has about 8 blog posts. One post got ranked top of page 2 on big G, bringing me an average of 20-25 visitors daily. That happened within 2 weeks (I guessed with the help of Unique Article Wizard). A week after tasting this kind of traffic, the visits stopped and now I'm averaging 5 or less a day. I checked to find it in the middle of page 3 now.

I have a long tail of 8 words sending 95% traffic into this page. Here's a scenario of what happened.

My long tail keyword (example only): How to tell if a dog has tummyache.
Google's sending me traffic based on broad search (example only) : How to tell if a cat has tummyache.

Questions:

1. With such success, I tried an EXACT search with "how to tell if a CAT has tummyache", I couldn't get in the top 1000 with Google. Anyone can share what can I do to ensure this doesn't happen to other posts?

2. On backlinks. Since blogs update with fresh contents everyday, should I send backlinks to the main site e.g. <domain>.com or <domain>.com/2009/09/<post>?

3. If I'm using tools like the UAW which sends unique contents to blogs and directories, should I limit to the number it goes out to everyday? What's a good number to start off for new blogs?

4. How many posts will Google deem "trusted" to be ranked tops for competitive keywords?

Sorry for the wall of text. Hope someone could help me on these questions which have been bothering me for a while.

I'll help out where I can.

You should send backlinks to the individual blog posts, optimised for the same keyphrases as the on-site optimisation.

I'm not sure why you would be getting visitors for a phrase that is not mentioned on the the site. It may be worth reviewing your content to double check.

I've never used UAW, but would imagine it sensible to limited the number of articles you send out every day. It's also important to vary the anchor text as much as possible, which make it look less spammy.

Google's 'trust' is not based entirely (if at all) on the number of posts you put. Domain age is said to be considered, as is the number and quality of backlinks pointing to your site. Some people also believe that you analytics data such as bounce rate could also come in to play, but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps. I'd be interested to see the domain, can you PM me with it?

  Netcel, I'm not too sure abt the part you mentioned abt optimised for the same keyphases as onsite optimisation. Could you elaborate that with an example? Pardon me.
  
  To further the understanding on my situation, I actually have the keyword CAT within the article.
  Title goes like this : how to tell if a dog has tummyache
  Within the post goes something like : blah blah blah... having a dog is different from a CAT. blah blah blah
  Hence google's ranking me good for broad searches on : how to tell if a CAT has tummyache
  
  What I can't understand is - I have specifically within the posts italics the 8 long tail words few times and ironically google's picked up the wrong keyword
  
  Finally I'll probably go for 25 daily submissions a day instead of the 50 suggested by UAW.
  
  Thanks
