Well, good for them!<BR/><BR/>I write for several blogs including the one you visited today. Ad revenue allows me to spend more time writing instead of having to create additional work that takes away from what I want to do.<BR/><BR/>Funny how people think nothing of slapping Google ads all over the place but get upset by the paid posts that we make.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by too.Matthew C.

Thanks for the heads up on this.<BR/><BR/>Gary, I have found the same to be true in my case, too, especially because blogging optimization and monetization is still new to me and there is so much to learn. At this stage it can be more difficult than the freelance work I've been used to for the last 20 years. I am determined to learn, though, to keep up with the rest of the world.<BR/><BR/>Yuga and Sexy Mom, you're right. I shouldn't have let the nasty words get to me. <BR/><BR/>It would be much more productive to focus on the positive - on the pleasure of writing online for a global audience and conversing with fellow bloggers. And, yes, there are also a lot of people online who are very helpful and supportive, especially for newbies. That balances the equation nicely.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm off to visit your pages :-)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791906693639192792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24318218.post-17385585529490925422007-04-17T18:10:00.000+08:002007-04-17T18:10:00.000+08:00through Noemi's site, i came to hop to yours. i ag...through Noemi's site, i came to hop to yours. i agree with all you said. there's nothing wrong in earning money from blogs. just yesterday, i had a post on "The Fine Art of Blogging", in which i said:<BR/><BR/>"About earning money? My primary reason in maintaining my blog is to share my thoughts and experiences with my readers. I also keep my blog because it is one way of networking and introducing myself—of telling my readers that hey, here is a writer. It also showcases my writing skills. Through this blog, I was able to earn money—it has caught the attention of some people who wanted help in writing and research. I have adsense, though this is not much. I have learned from a recent local blogging summit that blogs can be monetized. I am trying to learn about how one can get passive income or residual earnings through the blogs."<BR/><BR/>if i were you, i would not care about the nasty things some people say. don't let them affect you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24318218.post-1794961326737889042007-04-17T17:09:00.000+08:002007-04-17T17:09:00.000+08:00It's a a legitimate way of making a living online....It's a a legitimate way of making a living online.

I'm not familiar with DOFOLLOW, though.What does it mean and how do I activate it? I'd appreciate the info very much.<BR/><BR/>Dwacon, yes,making money is a good thing if honestly done. I've read a lot of criticism against the manner of spending but I believe it's the person's right to choose how to spend what he/she has earned, as long as it doesn't harm anyone else.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791906693639192792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24318218.post-9445326668821638072007-04-17T09:08:00.000+08:002007-04-17T09:08:00.000+08:00Making money is a good thing.Spending it is better...Making money is a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Spending it is better!Dwaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544514023626682777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24318218.post-41917949568562009932007-04-17T05:33:00.000+08:002007-04-17T05:33:00.000+08:00Just have to come back to inform you that your Blo...Just have to come back to inform you that your Blogger's DOFOLLOW is not activated.
