If you quit posting to your blog, will your Adsense earnings decrease (assuming that your traffic stays the same)? The reason I ask is because I took a 2 month hiatus from posting to my niche blog (projectsinmetal.com) for family reasons and I noticed that my Adsense income decreased substantially. This wasn't related to traffic because my traffic had averaged close to the same from month to month - if not increased a bit. I just recently (a week ago) posted a quick 2 paragraph update on the blog and suddenly my Adsense earnings jumped back up to normal amounts. Again, my traffic remained about the same despite the new post. I also noticed that when I stopped posting for those two months my google search engine traffic went from fairly consistant to all over the map (some days with virtually no inbound searches and some days with average inbound clicks). It would make sense to me if my traffic was declining and therefor my earnings were also declining, but my traffic (despite the sporadic google search traffic) stayed about the same. Can Google/Adsense somehow "tell" if your content has gotten stale and pay you less because of it? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the idea behind creating a blog for passive income. To me that seems to mean building a blog up to the point that the readership/search traffic makes you a comfortable income, and then moving on to another blog, building that up for a second income stream, and then moving on to a third blog ... etc. If you could get 10 blogs earning $200 each a month, that would be a nice income stream to supplement a persons day job. However, if Google can tell you've stopped posting and they decrease your Adsense earnings because of it, than you can never have a truly passive blog (one that can walk away from). So am I missing something? To recap the long-winded question: If you're NOT experiencing a drop in visitors, do you still have to occasionally post to a "passive income" blog to maintain your earnings? Thanks in advance for the help. T Quick question about creating a blog for passive income.

By definition passive income is that which you keep getting paid on time and time again on something that you did just once. So in terms of blogging ... if you keep stats on your blog posts, in theory (and this is in theory) if that post, because of the keyword used, draws a lot of traffic, and that traffic continues to convert at a percentage (say 5 people either click ads or buy affiliate products), then that is passive income. It is not the best example as with blogs, we post frequently and it is the frequency along with other marketing efforts that increase traffic to the blog and is a little bit more complex than the example above. Where I see the "passive" part is that for the same amount of time devoted, your income continues to grow - so if you put in an hour every day and begin to see a $1 a day as your initial income, then it grows to $10 a day (still with just one hour of blogging per day) and then that grows. In my view, a 100% passive income (never work again) with anything in internet marketing is a fallacy as it is with just about any industry except say with real estate (which, alas, I do not invest in) and even that has its ups and downs. Ditto stock market. To everyone's success .............. valentina Just read through the posts again ….

I'm very amused by how some people seem to think "passive income" means they won't have to work hard. I'm just getting started and trying to put my years of credit card marketing and copywriting to work on a variety of sites -- and I'm amazed at the amount of constant effort it takes. I can write a post in a few minutes (years of experience doing this every day), but the learning, set up and maintenance takes a lot of time. It's not "passive" at all. This was great for me to read.
