Is there money in blogs?

Those two snippets pretty much sum it up for me too. As an example, on the XLog there's rarely any real sales text, and almost never any porn pics or movies linked to sponsors. For me it's about making a site stickier by giving surfers something besides just/only porn to entertain them. Using a blog as one part of a site means that when surfers do want more porn, it's only a click or two away on the same site.

I actually get a lot of good traffic into my sites from places that would not normally link to a porn site.

It also means you can create content that gets into the blogosphere.

These three posts pretty much sum thing sup for me.
