Scary times, but I’m siding with TLA on this one. Can you spell monopoly? Besides, I’ve earned squat with AdSense (unlike him) and text links are less obtrusive and more ethical.

I'm not an uber-expert regarding problogging, like <a href="http://problogger.net" rel="nofollow">Darren Rowse</a>, but I can share some important tips with you. First off, great blog content is the biggest building block for any successful earning blog. There's a saying, "content is king", and this holds true for any blog venture. Great content draws in the visitors and makes your blogs rank well in search engines. Visiting your blogs, I can see that you don't have any problem with coming up with great blog content. Second, you'll need to promote your site across the web / do some search engine optimization (SEO). This involves getting links from other sites. There are many ways to do this -- may I suggest some <a href="http://articlecrux.com/Category/Seo/431" rel="nofollow">SEO articles</a> from the free article directory that I co-own. It also helps that you use Wordpress, which I believe is a really SEO-friendly platform. Third, you'll need to monetize your blogs. <a href="https://google.com/adsense/" rel="nofollow">Google Adsense</a> is a great blog monetization tool. (Our article directory also has <a href="http://articlecrux.com/Category/Adsense/344" rel="nofollow">Adsense tips</a>.) As your blogs' traffic begins to increase, you can also sign up for <a href="http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=50847" rel="nofollow">Text Link Ads</a> and earn money by displaying links on your blog. Hope this helps even a bit, Deedee. :D Good luck in your problogging endeavor! Deedee, thank you very much for visiting my blog.

This is Deedee. I am a writer. You have a very interesting blog and--earning too! You were introduced to me by Diwa del Mundo and Ardee Aram. I started blogging only in September 2006 (http://www.sadulangnideedee.wordpress.com). The other one, I just started last April 1. I approached Diwa and Ardee and asked how I can become a pro blogger, and perhaps the inevitable question of how my blog can be an "earning" endeavor. They pointed me to you. Do you have answers? Hi. This is Deedee. I am a writer. You have a very interesting blog and–earning too!
