One or two blogs in the IM and Web Site management niches
The purpose of the site(s) is to publish useful information but also to establish my credibility as a consultant(perhaps to offline bizes ) in these areas.
SEO-wise , it is probably better to have two sites i.e - to get higher "keyword condensation" . Secondly ,two different sites will let the homepage contain more niche targeted information , thus catching more attention.
However the argument for 1 site - is that I can market only one blog and not 2 , also considering that the site's niches are pretty related.
