Average Blogger makes $20 to $50 per Month
WebPro New has an article on the rise of blogging and estimates that the average blogger is making $20 to $50 each month. I’m not sure how they come to this figure - I know many bloggers, 90% of whom make nothing from their blog. Another 9% might make a few dollars each month (probably less than $20) and then there is a very small percent who make good money from blogging. I guess if you average it out those earning big money would increase the average - but I doubt if you averaged out the millions of bloggers that you’d find $20-$50 is the figure.
‘Blogging is growing at a phenomenal rate with a new blog being registered every 7.8 seconds.
Blogs are being established by a wide range of people from individuals who simply want to express their thoughts through to corporate communication executives who want to influence their market place. Blogs enable information to be disseminated almost instantaneously. They are easy to set up, easy to use and they are easy on your audience.
The typical blogger makes around $20 to $50 profit per month which just about covers the costs of maintaining their blog. This income is mostly generated through Pay Per Click revenue from services such as Google’s Adsense, from affiliate earning through the recommendation of books and other products and from paid advertising revenue for banners and text links….’

Google Vs. Adsense Fraudsters
Google is sending a message to its publishers about click fraud and is suing one of its clients this week in an effort to recoup loss incurred by false clicking - but is also no doubt hoping to send a warning to those cheating the system that they are serious about this issue.
‘Internet search giant Google Inc. filed a lawsuit against one of its AdSense Online clients this week, claiming the company defrauded the search company by clicking on its own ads multiple times.
The case, filed in Santa Clara County Court, also alleges that Houston, Texas-based Auctions Expert International were in breach of their contract with Google for intentionally manipulating the advertising program….
The AdSense agreements, though, expressly bar any company from clicking on its own sites in order to create ad revenue or to pay other people to click on the company’s sites.
“[Auctions Expert] flagrantly abused the AdSense Online service by artificially and/or fraudulently generating ad clicks,” the complaint stated. “These clicks were worthless to advertisers because they generated significant and unjust revenue for the defendants, who were paid by Google as if the clicks were legitimate.”’

Google Moves to Continual Indexing
‘If you’ve noticed that Google seems to be updating their index more frequently than once a month, you’re not alone. Clint Dixon observed this as well. In this article he discusses how this changes the world for website owners, search engine optimizers, and anyone else trying to get on the front pages of popular search engines.
Google.com took a step forward in offering the most relevant information available by beefing up their mission statement. For a long time Google has updated their database of information by indexing the World Wide Web once per month. In light of recent events I have come to the conclusion that Google is now updating their index much more frequently, as evidenced by server statistics from my clients, and from my own server.
With the November 2003 Florida Update, Google dropped many of the offending webmasters who employed black hat SEO techniques off of the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). This upset a great many webmasters whose sites sat on the front pages of Google.com for years, and who felt smug without preparing for the future.’

How big is the Blogosphere?
Clickz has a good article on the size of the Blogosphere which continues to grow.
‘The size of the blogosphere has doubled every five months over the last year and a half, according to blog analysis firm Technorati. Over that time, blogs have gone from being a word that sounded insulting to an online trend embraced even by a sexagenarian Massachusetts senator running for president. Given the frenetic pace of that growth, data charting the blog phenomenon have been vigorously consumed, and in some cases contradictory….
According to David Sifry, Technorati’s chief executive, the current number of blogs is now over 8 times bigger than the 500,000 blogs it measured in June, 2003.’

Tech Bloggers Wanted - AdverBlogging
Jeremy Wright’s employees are looking for tech bloggers willing to blog for a few dollars.
‘The company I do the majority of my writing for is looking to open half a dozen topical blogs. The content output expectations are fairly low. These are ‘entry level’ blogging positions. The positions are unpaid, but you get to put your ads on the pages. The site you’re blogging for gets 1M visitors per month, so you should be able to make a reasonable income via AdSense.’

Google sees benefits in corporate blogging
‘Google, which implemented an internal web log system behind its firewall about 18 months ago, has seen tremendous benefits from it and may in the future consider providing tools and expertise for this purpose to interested clients, Google said.
Google deployed an internal blog for its employees shortly after acquiring the blogging service Blogger in early 2003, and since then Google staffers have found many useful and creative ways for the internal blog, said Jason Goldman, Blogger product manager at Google.
“Since then, we have seen a lot of different uses of blogs within the firewall: people keeping track of meeting notes, people sharing diagnostics information, people sharing snippets of code, as well as more personal uses, like letting co-workers know what they are thinking about and what they are up to,” Goldman said.
“It really helps grow the intranet and the internal base of documents.”‘

Writing and Blogging Opportunities - California Chronicle & American Chronicle
Here is an opportunity for bloggers to get their name and writing into the public eye a little more - it doesn’t pay anything but the side benefits could make it worthwhile:
‘The California Chronicle family of online magazines is offering writing opportunities for authors and bloggers to publish with the California Chronicle, American Chronicle, World Sentinel and 17 additional affiliated online magazines throughout the US and the world.
These are unpaid, yet rewarding opportunities. Authors and bloggers may regularly submit their work on a variety of subjects to gain exposure for themselves as experts in their fields or to refer employers to professionally published examples of their writing to obtain positions as full-time, freelance, or syndicated columnists. Writers can show off the best examples of their writing to employers, families, or friends. In addition, authors can write about almost anything, including hobbies, opinion, sports, travel, politics, or entertainment.’

9rules Blog Network
A friend recently suggested I take a look at the 9rules Network of blogs run by Paul Scrivens. Paul, like many bloggers, didn’t set out to create a blog network, but rather found himself creating more and more site, out of which a network emerged. He bases his blogging on 9 Rules - (hence the name). These rules got my attention as being simple, to the point, well thought out and a great set of values to base a network upon:
1. Love what you do
2. Never stop learning
3. Form works with function, not against it
4. Simple can be beautiful
5. Work hard, play hard
6. You get what you pay for
7. When others talk, listen
8. Always improve
9. Respect your inspiration
The sites in the 9Rules network are:
• Big Money Tips
• Bet Fest
• CSS Vault
• Forever Geek
• Lame Ass Job
• The Roe
• Version 2
• Whitespace
• Web Drug Database
Some of them seem a little out of action to me at the moment - but you’ll get a feel for his work. Paul is a great web designer - I love his clean, simple and well laid out sites. His content is similarly uncluttered and lacks the hype of many of the other blog networks that have launched over the last few years.
The income streams that Paul uses on 9Rules are varied - he is seeking private advertisers, runs Amazon Affiliate Stores (he’s posted his Amazon earnings on a monthly basis here - wow, if only I could get mine that high!), has experimented with other affiliate programs and has Adsense ads on some of his pages.
