Wrong, you just get paid less. Don't "litter" it with ads everywhere, but put a lot of well placed ads on the site.

"The degree of influence we make to others life" A succesfull blog is a blog that can change somebody perspective, beliefs and actions. Such as his/her perspective about money, about how to make money, how to spend money etc which lead to his/her action. Where's the bible then :smirk: Very nice post! and I would like to add one more.

I cant see the point in wasting valuable time writing articles unless your blog pays for its self. Reading blogs where the writer puts across the idea that blogging should be about ideas not profit reminds me of all those morons when I was a teenager who declared that they were not materialistic.

My spa blog only gets a hit every now and then. I do get depressed when I put so much work into a blog and nothing happens. No clicks to read it, no clicks on my affiliates, no comments, nothing. I want so much to be able to be a blogger that is indexed and making a little bit (ok a lotta bit) of money from it. ;) Its funny to me that my personal diary blog has been growing with readership in leaps and bounds.

Only the blogger can, and needs to, define success for themselves. What are the goals? Aspiration? Identify the mission. Figure out what you want to do. Is it to e a Top 100 Technorati blogger? Is it to make $50k+ on blogging? Is it to develop close associates in your field? Maybe just stay connected with your family and friends? Once the definition of success is out there it's easier to identify way to measure a blog's success. I consider my blog a success at [only] 10,000k uniques a month because I have developed a core of people whom I know I can influence (not manipulate!) and influence is important to me. My definition of success <em>is</em> influence. I guess I got a little preachy there. Sorry. :) A basic premise we cover in You Can Blog is that no one can define success for a blogger.

How do you measure success on your blog? Well, the more people that join the site I've linked too, and do what I've informed them, the better the chance for me (and them) to get something big at no cost! :D I've gotten several people to signup from my blog (I got multiple - same stuff, different site/product), and thanks to Google and MSN (Yahoo! sucks :(), I'm also obtaining excellent ranking for some good keywords. I know this because, right now, I frequently check my stats to see where my referrers come from. I then target my site to new people once I know my site is already doing well somewhere. Anyways, I've learned some more stuff b/c of your post and I hope to try it out sometime. Thanks! EXCELLENT post!

Traffic is cheap, as you can get them on traffic exchanges, so I don't agree with that too much. Most bloggers will never earn an income from blogging. I've been blogging for nearly 4 mths now, and have $0.71 in my Adsense account. Still I don't litter my site with ads, and don't plug keywords in my posts. I'm in it for the fun. My <a href="http://mythoughts-onstuff.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">blog</a> satisfies most of those criteria, so I guess it's a success. I agree with most of them.

When people start sending me foods to review (I run a healthy food reviews website) and start replying to my emailed questions (which almost never happened before) - I know somehow the blog is making it to the outside world.

This year I will be judging the 2005 Christy Awards, because my christian fiction blog was so well received. I've also been asked to speak at writer's conference, join blog alliances, guest blog on more well known sites, and have gotten many book promotion consulting gigs from it. And now that I have my own domain. I have paid subscribers participating in an online writing workshop this month. Thanks, Darren for providing great tips and ideas.
