How to Optimizing your Automated Blogs for long term traffic

Having a network of blogs will need a lot of work even if they are automated blogs. here is a technique I use to promote those blogs using SEO.

for each blog I create I do the following:
I choose a product to promote usually from clickbank, using cb-analytics, anything that the google suggestion tool will give you more than 3 searches for and has low competition on 1st page of google.
for ex:

product name review
product name real?
product name works?
product name free
...

Then I post couple of article about that product, and optimize title, body,tags for the keywords that google suggests. I put affiliate links, some images the more content the better.

Now comes the SEO part:

First I use bookmarking daemon to get the site indexed in minutes and get some temporary backlinks to it.

Then I use a combination of links sources (the more I vary the links type the better the results will be), I use
1- Link Exchange
2- submit article to SEO Links Vine
3- blog posting services
4- forum sig links (sometimes)
5- Link between related niches blogs

this should get the site traffic in two to three days, however for some hard to rank keyword I have to get more links from the above sources and get mix the link types even more, I sometimes add paid site wide directory submission.

Good Luck...
