Thanks Darren,

An amazing insight…. I know it was written some time ago but i tend to think that there will be quite a few bloggers making a living from it. Perhaps not millions/year but time wise shouldn’t be hard to make $30,000/year. There are so many great tools these days…. what concerns me tho is the use of duplicate content and what exactly Google will get on. I’m forever pushing the limits of this line in the sand…..

Thanks a lot! That helps me out a lot too. I just started my own blog and was completely lost! But with the help of websites such as yours and others I’ve been learning a lot and hopefully will get a huge following just like you someday.

I know the readers on this site are great too and if anyone can give me any help, I’d greatly appreciate it!

(I’m a newb with all this!)

Here’s my site! http://seamles.blogspot.com/

Let me know if I can help you out anyway.

Wow I have learnt much from this post

I have dedicated my blog to the sharing of Law of Attraction and visualization techniques.

I have not put up and adsense yet.
Mainly giving Free Attraction Report to people who are interested in Law of Attraction:-

I have been using AdSense and it has been working fairly well for me. I need to work on my ad positioning, but I am worried about being too intrusive…

Good article indeed. But I don’t think Text-Links-Ads are a good alternative if you didn’t have a PR6+ .

Another good one (sorry if I am repeating, I didn’t see it listed anywhere) is Text Link Ads.

I believe blogging requires Good Contents.

Good contents will then turn to Good Readership.

Good readership turns to Questions Seekers.

Questions seekers turns to Google Adsense.

I am not a good blogger but each day I will try to devise new ways and hopefully have all the time in the world to write a good contents.

Especially taking a few lessons and learning from this one great sites. I did quit all my (real life) posts after evaluating all risks and learned a few lessons from Darren (The Man himself)… Thanks Darren, You are the great example for all Pro Bloggers and Pro Blogger wanna be like me.

God Bless You and Australia!

Darren, thanks for your insights on the viability of blogging as a profession. I’m a month-old blogger (at Business Blog Wire) for a month-old business blog network called Know More Media, and only time will tell if we fall flat on our faces or soar sky high. (After seeing what’s happened over the past few days to Open Source Media, I’m a little nervous!) Call us just another case study, then, in this great Experiment that is blogging for dollars (whether Australian or American)! I firmly believe it can be done while making the world a better place with one’s blog. You’re proof of that.

Very good run down, Darren. I don’t think some people realize just how much knowledge you are actually sharing here … you could easily have packed it into an ebook or some such and monetized it .. but the thing which has attracted me to follow your journey is the genuineness and generosity you show .. a refreshing difference to some now inhabiting the blogosphere.

And if I may take on a little of the administrative burden, unbidden..

To those folks begging/nagging about a beginners section … the old, before WWW internet phrase applies, modified to suit the web .. RTFP .. Read The Foolish Page .. there’s chapter after chapter of content right before your eyes on the home page of http://www.problogger.net how many headings have you clicked on? I’ve been reading every day for a month off this site and haven’t come to the end yet … much is geared to the beginner and intermediate .. click, read and ye shall find.

Best regards
Dave
