I had someone ask for more detailed explanation so I am going to include my response to them here in case anyone else needs it:
Sure.
While I am setting up my blogs, I have keyword elite gather the keywords for me, but you can use the google keyword tool or any other free tool to generate keywords if you prefer.
Since you already have a hosting, if you have Fantastico, you can automatically install wordpress with it. I use domains that have the keyword
I am targeting in it and try to keep it at two to three words [if I'm using the word 'the' or 'a' or something small like that].
Then install wordpress on it.
Install the minimum plugins. The link to the ones I mentioned is here:
Code:
[url]hxxp://rapidshare.com/files/161266554/AutoBlogz.zip[/url]
I have not updated the folder with the new versions, but in the new wp, you can do that automatically]. If your niche is really obscure, you may try the caffinated content plugin, or another autoposting plugin. Any plugin that will post content related to your niche.
Activate them.
Go to the Manage--> Categories link.
Add keyword rich categories. At least the broad ones and then more narrow.
Then go to the UAW plugin under the Settings link.
Enter the required information [self explanatory that page should be]. When it tells you which categories to select, select all the ones that you added. Do NOT select uncategorized as you will then be getting posts that are not at all related to your niche. Click on update and test and it will tell you if it was able to make a post. [You can delete that test post if it is success too].
Then go to the Adsense plugin and add your info there [again self explanatory] and save. I use 2 units per post, but you can select 3 if you like. I also only use the smaller ad units, but again you can choose as you prefer].
Then go to Manage --> WP Videotube and add the keywords you want the videos to be related to. The free version allows you to add 3 keywords and at what intervals you want them to post. I usually space it out between keywords. I put one at every 8 hrs, one at every 10, and one at every 12 hours and I humanize it.
Find a free theme related to your niche and upload it to your sever and activate it. Click on widgets in your admin panel and make sure that you have your tag cloud, recent posts, and categories in the very least showing in your side bar.
Gather your keyword list that you generated and load it into the Platinum SEO plugin. Add the title and description as well. Save.
Completed. Move on to the next blog. And/Or promote that one for more traffic.
@ash-- I do both on their own domain and on subdomains. I have not noticed a real difference between them.
@ape-- I use only .coms but that is a personal preference
@stunna-- I set up one of these exact blogs for another mate on a different board just yesterday here:

That guy's hosting was not on a cpanel that used Fantastico so I had to manually upload the WP and create the database myself which is why I included the WP file in the folder.
Eta:...actually that example I showed does not have the wpvideo plugin on it cause the mate didn't want it on that one. the one that does have it is :
