Thanks for this. I really believe that blogging is the way to go these days. In fact, I was just reading a recent article about the hottest job skills for 2008 and it showed that the demand for blogging skills has increased by 4 times that of the previous year. I don't know about you, but in this economy, I think having a skill that is that in demand is pretty comforting.

I would say anyone who spits out something that specific is full of crap.

There is NO single formula or “rule” that will work in monetizing every blog out there. Just thinking about my own three biggest earners, I can tell you it’s not all about new visitors.

While one blog does the best with search engine traffic (bringing in new visitors regularly that way), my current highest earner gets most of its visitors through my rss feed (repeat visitors).

What you’ll earn depends on a lot of things.

For example, on one of my blogs the average Adsense click falls between $1 and $2 (per click – it’s a nicely paid niche). But that particular audience also doesn’t click on a huge amount of ads. So in that case, increasing traffic would likely be the best bet to earning more (more traffic generally equals more overall clicks).

But on this blog, the bulk of the earnings come from selling affiliate products. New visitors aren’t the ones usually buying them (although I’m sure a few of them are) – those buyers are people that have read the blog for a while and people I’ve built some level of trust with (you don’t have that kind of trust with new visitors the way you do with regulars who know if they can believe your reviews and recommendations, and make buying decisions based on them). So in this case the key is about getting long-term visitors rather than focusing on new ones.

There are no hard and fast rules in blogging unfortunately.

Great post, but I do have a question. I read somewhere that to be able to monetize (for any amount of decent money) then your site needs to have over 100 NEW visitors per day. What do you think about this?

Thanks for the great content. Even if I don’t get rich with my blogs I still enjoy learning how to make them better!
