A reliable source recently revealed that John Chow spends over $500 a month on Adwords to drive traffic to his blog.

True. Those are some examples of good linkbait.

Of course, I’m looking at generating quick popularity within the rather narrow genre of “make money online” blogs.

Well if someone is really desperate, and just not getting famous on-line through his blog. He can always make a ridiculous video and upload it to YouTube. Something like: (throwing your bran new digit camera 10 meters in the air, mashing your lovely iphone with a hammer, blending golf balls in your blender or a huge diet pepsi-mentose experiment) -actually, all of those have already been made, you need to think of something new!-.

Don’t lose hope, one day you’ll succeed :D

I did a series about a month ago called Your Blog Monetization Options and, more recently, Big Honkin’ Ads … Do They Work? series.

But, Vic, Court and Griz are much better Internet Marketers than I am. I’m really just getting started although I’ve been running Adsense for about 2 years on some niche sites to varying degrees of success. My previous main ways of making money online involved selling my consulting and software development services and selling stuff on eBay.
