I have 2 questions for now:

1. Is it better to focus on one blog, or to have a few that pertain to the topic?

2. How in the world, exactly, do you set up the whole network/link/ back link/RSS thing?- which I'm sure might have a lot to do with the fact that my blogs seem invisible.
I would say your way better to focus on one blog instead of spreading yourself thin over 10. My latest blog ebookguru.org is getting close to five hundred hits a day and I only started the site in November. The secret to success in blogging is to provide useful information and posts that your readers will want to keep coming back for.

Backlinks are easy to build, although I have only begun doing this, commenting on blogs that don't make use of no-follow tags (such as my own) will give you a link back that begins to build your page rank. Focus on relevant blogs to your own products and try to put keywords in your name when you comment.

For RSS I am partial to feedburner since it simplifies the whole process of maintaining an RSS subscriber list, and also allows for simple integration of AdSense once you've built a decent following.

Rather than make this a long post, if you visit the blog I referred to and click on eBook articles at the top of the page there are two articles title eBook markting with a blog in the list. These were written with authors in mind, but the same principles will work for any blog.
