That’s how I found out about Orble. It’s a blogging community with LOTS of ads. An Orble member can have several blogs but I only needed one. Everytime a member makes a post to his blog, other members can vote to show that they liked the post. I guess that makes the blog popular or something. I don’t really know. The Orble management keeps track of the traffic all blogs receive. If a particular blog has good potential and the content is good, they offer the member his own domain name for the blog. This ordinarily takes 2 to 3 weeks after the first post. I started with Coffin Talk where I just posted about things which I find interesting (guro, Japanese wackiness, etc.). My first post was December 4 and I tried to post everyday. I just kept on posting and I even reposted my article on how not to make money from blogging and that drew a lot of attention from the community. I received a lot of votes and some comments. I guess that’s the turning point of my orble blog. Since then, I received regular readers. They don’t comment but it doesn’t matter. They still voted. And the blog’s traffic attracted the attention of the Orble team. One week after I started posting, I was notified by the management that they want to buy a domain for my blog. Yay me! I’m a rising star. LOL. Since coffintalk.com is already taken, she suggested that I use coffinconversations.com instead. I agreed and there’s nothing to lose anyway. If my readers click on the ads in my blog, I get half of the profit and the other half goes to Orble. I guess that’s fine. So if you want to check out my other blog, please try to click on an ad. Hehehe. Money is nice. I’m still transferring the coffin talk posts to the new blog. Hopefully I will finish soon so I can make fresh entries.    Related Posts: [...] [...] After writing that post about not making money from blogging, I googled for ways to actually make money from blogging.

I cannot crack how to drive some traffic to the blog either, although probably i don't put that much effort either. I'm going to take some advice from one of your points and add some work-unsafe content to the blog .... lol ... i laughed at that one when i read it.

Plus, those adsense ads shown in personal blogs are low-paying ones. It probably would take 1000 or more clicks before you can reach the minimum payout. Unless your blog is very famous and has a lot of traffic you're better off without them (sorry to say that). Most blogs that do earn are technical blogs, product review blogs, etc. I, myself, don't see any adsense ads because I blocked it from my computer. Personal blogs are not good money maker.
