How do bloggers make money? Earning money online

I supposed you have already read about my previous post describing what is a blog.

• Blogging a fresh look

The next step would be introducing to you the most common and easiest way to monetize your blog. Knowingly or not you have may have already viewed hundreds or thousands of these.

Why I say common? You might not notice it but everytime you view a webpage, or a specific site, it is always present (although not all).

Why I say easy? It is easy because all you have to do is create an account, write your blog and copy & paste the html codes.

What I am talking about is a program called Adsense from Google. It is free to sign up and all you have to do is wait for the application to be approved (before getting an account with adsense it is advisable to create your blog first, post your first 2 to 3 posts). Putting it on your blog is easy, you just copy and paste the html codes that are provided by adsense. And what makes it even easier is that Blogger http://www.blogger.com/ (blogspot where this blog is hosted) have already automated adding adsense to your blog. Another thing is, all the ads that would be displayed on your blog will be related to the topics of what the reader is viewing.

Once you have your ads posted on your blog, all you have to do now is wait for your readers to visit your site and click on those ads. But, always remember, never click on the ads on your blog or else your account with Adsense will be disabled. All clicks made from your site are recorded and analyzed by the Adsense Team, and if they find something suspicious about those clicks, you will be banned from the Adsense Program. Also, never tell or instruct your friends or anybody to click on those ads.

Adsense payouts are done thru check, fund transter, and their new way the Western Union money transfer.

I hope I have contributed to your knowledge regarding this topic. If you have any questions, just click on the Forum tab on top, register there and post your questions on the Website reviews.

Entrecard is temporarily unavailable. I checked my widget early this morning and found out that they are not appearing at all. Also slowing the loading time of my pages. I visited the site Entrecard.Com and is temporarily unavailable.

Reason:

Outage
There was a fire at our datacenter resulting in the failure of some of our systems, our database server appears to be offline still, we're working on it and we're really sorry about the issues at this time. more information arriving shortly.

For those who were not informed, I also received this email.

Greetings,

Unfortunately, there has been an electrical fire at the data center housing Entrecard's servers. The servers have not been damaged, but the site may be down for as long as 12 hours.

Entrecard is hosted with ThePlanet, and this fire has effected over 9000 websites, as many of the world's most popualar websites are hosted with ThePlanet. They are working around the clock to get their data center back online, and we are hoping that they get it back online fast.

Thank you for your pateince and understanding with this rare and frustrating problem. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing we can do but wait for The Planet to get their datacenter back online.

Please check back with Entrecard in 12 to 24 hours.

Thanks,
Entrecard Team

We will just hope that Entrecard will be back as soon as possible.
