I'll always bet the turn if I bet the flop. For instance, if I'm holding A5s and the flop comes 6s9sKd, I'll make my standard top pair with good kicker bet ($1-$4 depending on how many people are in the hand and if there was preflop raising). If I hit the flush on the turn w/ the board unpaired, I'll usually check it, and if it doesn't come and there's no pair on the board and no one reraised me on the flop, I keep my bet consistent if I'm out of position and usually increase my bet by a dollar or two if I'm in position.
I find this is strategy pays off big on party poker, since people playing ont he NL 25 tables rarely lay down flush draws, top pair will usually call you down, and if the flush comes and you run into an inferior flush, you'll probably take all that person's money. If I miss on the river, checking it down and folding to any bet is usually the right move, though you can also try buying it if you're heads up and you feel your opponent was on some kind of draw or semi-draw (i.e. pocket pair trumped by overcards on the board or middle pair w/ ace kicker). Since you have a history of betting, another strong bet will usually be enough to make marginal but winning hands fold, so you could also bluff into multiple opponents if you think there's a strong possibility that they'll lay down their hands.
