where to start on my internet marketing journey?

Ive done alot of reading, but before i start I'd like to make a plan so at least im not setup to fail.

Abit about me:
I am a "noob" at internet marketing but not a noob on the internet in general, and ive had my own hosting company before.

I'm thinking i would like to go the route of adsense and niche sites, i build the sites up, people visit click the adds and i get payed. This sounds like what i want, and sounds reasonably easy to maintain, although their are lots of things i need to consider as my first time. I was thinking of making 5 sites and maintaining them manually.

1. Do i go with a website or blog?
2. How do i get traffic to my site without manualy making 1000's of backlinks?
3. Do i use keyword specific URL's or build up a type of "brand site"
4. What internet marketing "tools" do i need (market samurai etc).
5. If there was one good WSO for adsense wordpress blog what would it be?
6. Am i asking the right questions?

Some advise to a newbie from the people already making a living from adsense would be highly appreciated, thank you.

    I would compliment the adsense with some sort of a product of your own (could be a digital one)...you can and should incorporate your blog into your website...how to get traffic is a big topic..I use mainly SEO to get traffic to my own and my clients websites...I would also recommend reading up on ppl who have succeeded online, so you dont have to do those mistakes and waste time...I would say that go for a niche since its quite competitive out there...

      Thanks for the reply, a few questions:

      Would selling a digital product that i do not own (ie an affiliate product) like clickbank or amazon be ok?

      You say i should incorporate a blog into my website, but i thought wordpress acted as both, or is there a way to merge wordpress into a website?

    It's good to read up a lot before you get started, but you've got to take action. No matter how much you read, you will still make mistakes and struggle at times. Once you get started most of your questions will answer themselves and your new questions will be more specific and beneficial to you.

    Wordpress can be fashion to be like a website even if in most cases it is use to be a platform for blogs. You can also have a typical website not made out of wordpress and combine it with wordpress. The key is, after installing wordpress, you can replace the index page, be it your website index page (not made by out of wordpress) or your blog index page that is made out of wordpress.
