   You don't get money just from blogging, you need to place ads on your blog or get affiliate revenue or something. If you're using Wordpress.com's free service, any ads on your blog are placed by them, and they get the revenue from them because you're using their service.

      @gdavisms
      JayNeely is correct. Free hosted wordpress.COM blogs are a different from self hosted wordpress.ORG blogs.
      Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org ? The difference.

      If you want a wordpress blog and you want to have advertising on it as well, then free hosted wordpress.COM is NOT for you.
      
      If that's the case then you must self host by:
      (1) purchasing a domain;
      (2) hiring a web host;
      (3) and by obtaining and installing the free software and plugins from wordpress.ORG on your own domain.

      I have a adsense account, but what I did with word press I rotated my existing content from my blogspot blog and added 87 of my post to my worpress blog. So although I have a Google Adsense account where I have made only 7.48 I want get revenue from my Google Adsense account if my pages are viewed on wordpress? I guess I screwed up huh? But I thank you for you input. Your input along with everyone else on BC is the most info that I have received during my eight weeks, the entire time I have played it by instinct. Thank you..

      Have you read this from Google?
      
      Duplicate content
      ...
      However, in some cases, content is deliberately duplicated across domains in an attempt to manipulate search engine rankings or win more traffic. Deceptive practices like this can result in a poor user experience, when a visitor sees substantially the same content repeated within a set of search results.
      ...
      Duplicate content on a site is not grounds for action on that site unless it appears that the intent of the duplicate content is to be deceptive and manipulate search engine results. If your site suffers from duplicate content issues, and you don't follow the advice listed above, we do a good job of choosing a version of the content to show in our search results.
      
      However, if our review indicated that you engaged in deceptive practices and your site has been removed from our search results, review your site carefully. If your site has been removed from our search results, review our webmaster guidelines for more information. Once you've made your changes and are confident that your site no longer violates our guidelines, submit your site for reconsideration.

      What? When I setup my word press blog, I was asked if I had another blog and would I like to move my pages from my existing blog to my new blog which was wordpress. After I moved the pages I there was a prompt option with wordpress to go to my google adsense account and verify my account my wordpress blog. wordpress info stated that I must have an adsense account in-order for me to combined my blogspot pages within my wordpress blog. Are you saying that I have broken the rules? Oh my!!!

      I'm NOT on Google's staff so I'm NOT saying anything. If you did create duplicate content in two blogs and your motive was to game search engine results in order to get more traffic, or if it may appear that way to Google, then IMO you'd better click the link and make your decisions based on the information provided by Google.

   You have some homework to do - start out by checking out
   
   Adsense
   Adbrite
   CJ.com
   
   They will pay you based on how many clicks you get (CJ by purchases too) and the niche you blog about.
   
   I don't know your background but I'm warning you 99% of bloggers make about a nickel a day.
   
   8000 Page views in a month? Not bad for an 8 week old blog. Hurry up and monetize your site.
