1. OP - multiple flats are indicative of (in order of frequency) improper inflation, poor mounting technique, not checking for initial cause and correcting it, Worn out tire, environmental conditions (goathead thorns, etc). Figure out which problem is really yours and fix it. If you do I have frequently gone 1+ years riding without any flats at all.
2. I have a ton of information regarding best practices with regard to tire mounting, diagnosing causes of flats, etc in a really old thread I start way back :

I just cruised that thread - I thought I had some tips in there about how to identify the cause based on what you saw in the tube but maybe it's not in there ...but looks like I am going to come up with some more...and bump that thread..
Beautiful thread you got there. Going through all the tips.
