I started doing blogs back in 2004. But then I didn't even know what is the advantage of blogging. My first blog was like my online diary. No sponsors links, no marketing, just plain and clean blog with pics, stuff about me, and so on.
Last month I decided to start doing blogs more seriously and to try some money off them, coz I know Search Engines love fresh and frequentely updated content. And here we go,
www.fleshlightlive.com has been born. Now with only about 30ish days of its existence, I am getting very quality se traffic there which makes me money ;)
I am planning to start few more blogs which will generate more revenue, I bet.
Blogs are very popular these days, and with .5K uniques daily (SE), I am pretty sure $500 per month is nothing ;)
