Is there money in blogs?

So twn, would your blog be considered a fake blog?

And Cleo, based on the amount of people that do read your blog, how are the sales compared to your LL?

I started blogging for money (and because starting new projects and playing with scripts is fun). I make occasional sales, but for the time invested the returns just aren't worth it, at least not for me. I think I have 9 blogs right now (all fake/semi-fake) and I only update a couple of them very sporadically.

I'm sure somebody who specializes in blogging and knows how to do it right can make decent money.

As an active blogger.. i can say for me out of 6 blogs that i juggle..only 2 make money for me, my REAL blog which is on a community site --Live journal-- and my cam blog. The rest are time consuming and really make little to nothing. Which proves to me that writing what you know and are passionate about pays more than trying to 'fake" it. But that's just what i've found after 6 years.

Ditto.

I really don't post sales articles anymore, and I don't use pictures for the most part either not enough reward for the effort. The only beneficial thing about my blog is as traffic feeder to my other adult properties, other than that I just try to have fun with it.

No, mainly because i type unique content, it isn't much, but it isn't too little, it is actually just right. When you are doing it for a while you will learn what amount of text is right and what type of sentences are doing right with the search engines. It's just like with freesites, you have to figure out how to get one without spending too much time on it.

There are actually many type of blogs, it isn't fake and good, there is a lot between those two

But i always recommend to sit in the middle, you get the best of both worlds this way.
