		<description>Hi Gerri,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agree with on the content first. This is a must for a blog to survive longer online. Then once your blog is  popular only then you think to do marketing with your blog. When we post with a relevant topic, then the readers will surely be the targeted readers and so monetize or selling product with yr blog will then be a thing to do next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just my thought and way that I have gone through this far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers and Gerri honestly you have an awesome blog. Keep it up.</description>

		<description>I shared in my blog post that if a blogger stays true to his/her blog theme, and blog with honesty and integrity, there is no reason not for him/her to continue offering good value and inspiration even if it&#039;s a paid post. Some of my sponsored posts were dugged and stumbled and received lots of positive reviews from readers.</description>

		<description>I like your thoughts on the subject as well.  It seems as with some blogs about making optimization or money-making, that they have no real content and that they just want gads of visitors for the sake of pushing revenue.  Usually, it&#039;s pretty transparent what people&#039;s motives are.</description>

		<description>Gerri.  Excellent post. Personally, I made little money from blog, but in the past, have monetized as much as $5k per year on a web site.  Based on my experience, you are right.  Content is king, and there is nothing wrong with making money from your work/hobby.  The caveat is don&#039;t make the site all about making money and sacrifice your readers&#039; experience.</description>

		<description>Hey, guys.  I am looking into starting something of a &quot;Click Exchange Program&quot; so that those of us with Google ads can get clicks on a regular basis wherein we would agree to click on each other&#039;s ads a certain number of times per day increasing our page ranks and traffic, which would qualify us for other making-money programs like reviewme.com  What do you think about something like this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joey&lt;br /&gt;http://www.joeybusinessblog.blogspot.com</description>
