So why do you keep doing it? :)

I started blogging about 4 months ago and it didn't make a cent yet. It's a long term thingo i guess

Sorry but thats bullshit :2 cents:
12hours of work daily for $1000 a month? Half of this forum woudnt even get out of their beds for this.. :thumbsup

I personally think you can make money with bad blogs and good blogs.

It's the blogs in the middle that dont pay in proportion to the effort.

If you have a really good interesting blog, that you spend alot of time and effort on, getting it just right. You can make very good wedge off it.

If you have lots of crappy blogs, but know how to get traffic to it. Dont spend much time on it apart from that, but use it just as another marketing tool, you can make money off them.

The inbetween blogs, where you spend time and effort writing stuff, but it isnt great and doesnt really hit the target audience. Thats when you can loose, because you may be putting in just as much time and effort as the first blog, but with the sales of one of the crappy blogs

That is actually something that can be applied to pretty much any kind of business. There are always three segments to any market, the low-price & low-quality but high volume, the high-price & high end but low volume, and the middle-of-the-roaders, which are exactly inbetween the other two, all aspects considered. It's often the middle segment that is the hardest one to position and brand. You can't really compete by price, since there are lower-priced alternatives, and you can't really compete by quality, as there are higher-quality alternatives. It's much easier to work with either of the others, but then again the middle segment also tends to be fairly big, so you may well be leaving money on the table.

TGPs started the same way. A few people started them and made it big and then thousands of copy cats came along and just flooded the Net with blogs that do nothing but shuttle traffic back and forth like a bunch of circle jerks. Now we've got blogs and some people understand the purpose and will be successful, but the rest will just throw up a bunch of automated piles of shit and screw it up for everyone that actually is trying to run a decent blog.

It won't be long and everyone in the porn biz will be complaining about porn blog traffi the same way they bitch about TGP traffic now.

:1orglaugh

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Half of the people that post on GFY would kill to make $1000 a month from their porn sites.

:thumbsup

I see them just as another way to present content.

In reality only a small percentage of the surfers is interested in your writing. Since it's adult they want to see the pics/movies. Pulitzer prize writing won't get you huge traffic. It's the selection of content that counts and if you're disciplined enough to offer regular updates.

So who cares if your site is a REAL blog or a blog style promo site ? At the end of the day it's all about traffic and it's quality.

I'm trying to get it into your head
but you fail

You're the one trying and I'm the one who fails? :)

Perhaps a definition of a "real blog" would help.

Show me your blog. Maybe I can help. What keywords do you focus on? How often do you post?
