The Business Of Blogging

Well it was only a matter of time before the business community turned its eye onto blogging as a source of revenue and as a viable advertising medium.
"Just a year ago, blogs were viewed as a collection of off-the-cuff ramblings in cyberspace read mainly by online devotees..... Now advertisers are realizing there is a market emerging in the 'blogosphere'."

I recently signed up for Google's ad sense program with the aim of putting up some ads on the blog and maybe earn a few bucks. But then I changed my mind because it would just add more clutter... God knows that Blogroll needs some serious editing!

  1. zaydoun, marketers are opening their eyes to blogs, msn is entering the blogosphere (which is now nearly a real word!), and check out my latest post about the popularity of the word 'blog', which goes well with your post.

  3. HWKW... A portal would be too time-consuming, and unless it makes me rich.. it could get me fired!

    But what would you recommend I put on it?

  4. I think I'd rather be Kuwait's answer to Nick Denton, who runs the mini-empire of blogs like Gawker, Wonkette, and Defamer. He seems to be doing OK

  5. HWKW... Nychick is bringing me some Krispy Kreme doughnuts. How about you get me a Philly cheesesteak sandwich from Jim's on South Street? Yum!

    Thanks for Keyhole, btw. I love it and it could come in handy at work!
