Hehe,I never took it personal,I just had a goal,that somebody sees my comment and respond.Well i'm trying to be funny,thats why my site is about jokes :D
I'm good in driving traffic,and I had in 24h +10K visitors,but ugly thing is that i'm on free host,so they shutted me down because I exhausted all traffic limits for that month. But it is not joke when it comes to money,I guess that's the only thing I take serious.Any recommendations for middleman companies,your experience?
I just opened a new blog and I want to start properly,to convert that traffic into money :D

lol don't take it personal, it gets lost in the mix. Well, if you get 600-2,000 uniques a day, you should be able to sell personal ad space on your blog. You can go through middleman companies or even do affiliate programs like commission junction that pays by check.

Sorry, never saw this comment. But yes, you can make money from selling private as space, paid reviews, pay-per-click ads, affiliate marketing, etc.

I haven't compiled my monthly income for March yet but here's a list of stuff from February at http://www.datmoney.com/2008/03/no-pagerank-no-problem-i-made-95570-in-february-plus-recap.html and here's a mini list of paid review sites at http://www.datmoney.com/2008/03/requirements-pros-and-cons-for-paid-review-sites-%e2%80%93-part-1.html

Hope that helps!

There's lots of people I would just like to meet, even if I don't 'learn' anything :) I do think this will be the year if anything does happen - at least, I'm progressing in the right direction. Time will tell!

Thanks for unbiased leaning support :) It's nice to hear that.

:) an unbiased leaning ? Though you seem like you are on the verge of going big. This could be the edge you need.

TonyB .. I've been considering entering the BC/LS/Cg contest .. and would love to go. It's all about the timing and the money.. Have no time and have no money! Fortunately for me, having no time never stopped me from doing any of my other stuff .. So, I'll probably enter. Hopefully it will be a "tie" between Chris and Liz and BC can lean towards my way, eh? :) heh

of course you can but you must accept the fact that if you wanna make ALOT of money from your blog you have to learn and gain years of knowledge and experience..... Unless you get lucky!

Ya I make money and only use adsense. The people who say that adsense dont work, should try to get traffic first. Bidvertiser is just like adsense but their collection is small in ads so may not view relevent ads.

Adsense is great, and the biggest beauty of adsense is that, you dont need the ranking/ rss readers/ great requirements to run and earn from it. If you got 2cents, be happy because it's the best from your new blog.

PetLvr are you going to go to SOBCon08. I think if you do you will take what you are doing to a different level. I know of some people who after attending last year have become some of the most successful blogger entreprenuers on the web. BC is sponsoring a contest where you can get most of the trip paid for.

The Prize is worth $2000.00

It's May 2,3,4 o in Chicago, IL

I'll probably break $300.00 by Wednesday (knock on wood) just on adsense alone. Things have been progressing well since last December and this thread..

Dammit! Why is Noob beating me to the punch on all this stuff? Well, I'm curious... how much traffic do you get? Every site is different based on traffic and how they make money.

If you're looking for quick cash, sign up for a bunch of paid per post sites. You'll probably get like $5 here and there.

Let me know how many visitors you get on average and we can see what options are good for you.
