[...] Since there is such a large audience available, gaining traffic is relatively easy. In April of 2006, I wrote an article for Darren Rowse’s Problogger on how I went from 50 uniques per day to 1500 uniques per day in approximately 3 weeks. However, unlike most product blogs or tech-related blogs, the amount of revenue earned per visitor, tends to be much lower, but don’t let this be a deterrent. Some gossip blogs are earning six figures a year. [...]

[...] The advice I can offer bloggers so far right now can be found on Darren’s Problogger…which is where he featured me as a lesson from a celebrity blogger. [...]

Hello – Darren –

With regards to the disclaimer… I currently have a disclaimer on the About Us section of our webpage. The only thing I may be considering is giving the disclaimer its own personal page and maybe including it at the bottom of my website.

So, as of right now, I do have a disclaimer, although it isnt as readily accessible as it should be. So I should take into consideration and fix that.

Thanks for the tips. I am still learning as well.

I’m no lawyer, but generally the photographer of celebrity images owns the copyright. You should at least add a disclaimer and a quick way for removal if someone protests.

Quirky – they are found all over. People send photos in, message boards, I’ve done some scans myself, some other websites. Just generally all over. All sources are sited if obtained from other websites.

Hello, If I may ask the blog author: where do you get your celeb’s photos from? Do you pay for them, or just take them from other websites?

Thank you.

I am glad that I could help everyone. I have learned so much from Darren and his website and the community I felt that I needed to give back to it. This was how I could do that.

To Darren, Thanks for considering me for pro-blogger case studies series.

Hello everyone, I am the person who wrote that blogger case study.

With regards to the video, I don’t think I was violating anything, but I will have to check into that. I sure hope its not a violation.

I don’t think it is because i have seen several other sites who host videos and that use adsense at the same time.

Anyway, I am glad some of these tips helped some people out.

It’s always nice to hear from another blogger. Thanks for this, Darren. Another blogger’s idea is my idea starter. :)

Congratulations on your success!

I went to your site and found a video. That breaks the Adsense TOS. Look at the program policies: “In order to avoid associations with copyright claims, website publishers may not display Google ads on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results”
I don’t know if linking to a video does break the rules, what do you think?
