Some people are making thousands of dollars. So far, I’m not one of them. I understand, however, how they are doing it. Quite a few people are making the big bucks by writing ads and getting paid. There are several companies that will pay you to write short blog entries mentioning a product or a service. You will typically be paid $5 or more per ad. The more ads you are invited to write, the more you earn. People who have higher page ranks through Google, will usually get more offers to write these ads, and they receive higher earnings. I use Smorty, but some people use a site called Pay Per Post. Unfortunately, the powers that be over at Google are lowering the page rank of people who use Pay Per Post. The folks at Google don’t like the fact that people are getting paid for ads that are not associated with Google Adsense, or the Google advertisers don’t like it. Anyway, I’ve read on some of the writing boards that I frequent that some people are staying away from paid ads because they don’t want their rankings to suffer. Other people are continuing to write the paid ads, which as I mentioned before, can help them earn hundreds or thousands of dollars. I’m not so phobic of Google, that I would give in to the company’s greed, and I feel that others should do the same. Afterall, even the Problogger himself, no longer uses Google’s adsense. Right now, I beginning to wonder if Adsense makes any sense.
