- str3ama, on 10/11/2007, -6/+4does tossing "corporate" salad count?
- fpcyber, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15Can't Paris Hilton just die?
- BZKyle, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Nope. She is made of plastic.
- civperc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2When she does (socially), so will Perez.
- Godzmarine, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1If she really died(physically) they would make even more money!
- atgunning, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Oh Gad, it'll be the same circus that surrounded Anna Nichole's death - 45 days of what was in her fridge.
- laelfrog, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yep, she will. Just ignore her till she does.
- KyjL, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Doesn't link directly to the article.
http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/jul2007/sb20070713_202390.htm - Birdoftruth, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18Knowing how to make money is the easy part, now actually being dedicated and constantly producing articles is the tough part.
- TriZz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Advertising.
- redrock34, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Google Adsense?
- DruSam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Only a small part of it if you want to make big money. Most of the guys in the article use a combination of ad platforms like Digg does.
- mikesty, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Blogger #14 is Michelle Malkin. It says her revenue is N/A....
"...Michelle Malkin gets more than 220,000 visits per day, but says her sites still operate at a slight loss. “We’re doing what few other blogs can do. We serve up terabytes of bandwidth,” Malkin says. “I’m shelling out for gold-plated servers. That’s expensive, and we want to be able to withstand huge traffic surges.”"
What the hell? Terabytes? Who watches that stuff? Jesus.
Operating at a loss stuns me though.- redrock34, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Funny how her IT consultants are probably milking her for all she's worth.
- mcduckov, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I would not even know bloggers exist if I were not tricked, now and then, into clicking a blogspam link on digg.
- thrallie, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3That woman's political opinions scare me.
- GunsGermsSteel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2The reason it says "N/A" is because there's no way to convert promoting the deaths of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians into U.S. dollars.
- JD52, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Blogging about Blogging.
- Derrekito, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Almost as bad as digging digg.
- Haplo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Heh, about 15,000 visitors a day ( http://johnbokma.com/ ) and about 700+ USD/month from AdSense.
And indeed, Birdoftruth, the writing the pages is the hardest part. As for mikesty: with 15,000 visitors I serve about 1G/day. I am indeed afraid that there is a point that more visitors means less money because keeping the shop running gets very expensive. The main reason why I have an extremely simple (most probably say none at all) design/layout. - daxsymbiont, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2idiots in suits trying to make money and learn the internets.
nothing to see here, move along.- loneBoat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Ummm, did you LOOK at the revenue some of these guys (& gals) are pulling in? I think it safe to say that they have "learned the internets" better than you or I have. They're not idiots.
- Ascendancy5, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Google AdSense, such new technology.
- joltjake, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1how about, because they are known bloggers?
- Bayman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1So these people make mad money from blogs? That's odd...
- TiCL, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Never heard of them.
- Danzinger, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0WHO THE ***** READS BLOGS ANYWAY?
- roxroxdigg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I wonder if they are compensating the copyright owners of the lifted images?
- sunchild, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I'd be more interested in net income, since the bandwidth costs for most of these providers must be huge. The telcos are the real winners here.
- Haplo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I make over 700 USD/month (AdSense), hosting is 12 USD/month, domain name is 18 USD/month. I probably can find a cheaper service for hosting + domain name, but I so far my site has survived high peaks of a lot of traffic without a single problem, so I prefer to stick with the hosting company I am using right now. Traffic: about 15,000 daily visitors, about 1G data/day. The one site mentioned in tfa that had bandwidth issues is IIRC a vlog (streaming video).
- GreedKills, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Just click on their ads everday and they will get banned
- coarse, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Monetizing a blog is not difficult. Just put up Adsense or join a cost per impression network such as burst-media, castle media, value click, etc. Or you could join a pay per lead program and then make money. The real problem lies in getting the initial traffic. How do you invite visitors to your website. There are some that exploit services like Digg and others who use other deceptive means.
- footodors, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1perezhilton.com is lame and he makes a 100k a month!
