There is no market for "blogging"

| | Comments (141) | TrackBacks (1)
Louis Grey has this fantastic piece up on the sad reality, that bloggers shouldn't expect ad revenue to take in the cash.

Before I get back to normal content, I'll explain why he's right, and why I don't have ads:

t's routinely shocking to me that so many bloggers think they should try and make a profit from their Web site.

Urged on by the success of mega blog networks like TechCrunch and spurred forward by stories from ProBlogger, or corner cases likeDooce.comDaily Kos and others, an inordinate amount of people are hoisting ads on their blogs, from Google AdSense, from AdBrite orFederated Media, in the hope of turning their daily rantings into big dollars that could possibly change their life. It's no surprise that blogging for many has the shiny look of a "get rich quick" scheme, when actuality is far different.

Their hopes are misguided, and for most, a serious reality adjustment is needed.

Anyone notice the lack of ads? I'll probably have one badge replaced with one soon, because someone is doing me a real favour with their service and I want to give them credit. However, I don't expect to make money through this site. At least via ads. If someone thinks my content is good enough that they'll help me keep it running (as a friend has done by providing a service), I will happily accept help. On the other hand, I won't go begging for clicks. And neither should you.

Refreshing site and useful post. I have marked it to come back later. Imagination is more important than knowledge-Einstein

A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.

I've read a lot of stuff related to trading in online books and posts and the majority of it seems conflicting. It's so tricky to identify quality information that's built on actual truth and not just the next guy's opinion.

Twitter gave me a HUGE boost in the Google rankings

Hi, i just thought i'd post in addition let you know your blogs layout continually seriously messed up on the particular K-Melon browser. Anyhow maintain up special great work.

There is evidently much to know about it. I think above we can find some good points. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

This will definitely assist me to get a handle on my trading, that's for sure. I am far better at losing money than I am at getting it, and I need all the useful help I can get. Thanks a million!

Great idea this, lots of useful information. I should just give up and take lessons from you

Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Did you hear about the dyslexic lawyer? He studied all year for the bra exam

I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
It's the opinion of some that crops could be grown on the moon. Which raises the fear that it may not be long before we're paying somebody not to.

Which is a great piece, always good to understand more about boating

You made tremendous great ideas there. I made a search on the topic and noticed almost all peoples will agree with your blog.

The website is without a doubt full of impressive advice and is pretty fun to check out.

Well done!
