Like those of us at The Scratching Post, the ads on his blog earned him very little, even on days when he received tons of hits. Recently there was a Wall Street Journal article about how bloggers can make big bucks.
Rather than suggesting that this is utter nonsense, we did our homework and found an example of such success. Oorg.
Take it away, Oorg.
----------------------------
Oorg remember early days of blogging. Oorg blog with burnt stick on cave wall.
Here, Oorg blog with partner Gormok and show Trondar's animal. Animal barf on Trondar during special dinner with Morg. Caption under drawing say "Heh."
Trouble come when Korgar leave comment calling Oorg a bad name. He call Oorg a piece of sea-filth. Oorg and Gormok find Korgar's cave address and leave it in comments on Kreegar's wall-blog.
Korgar get mad and try burn Kreegar's cave. Tribe gets big laugh. Cave rock! Cave no burn! Tribe all blog about it for weeks.
Oorg tired now. Tiny screen too small for Oorg to blog. Oorg fill screen with burnt stick writing. Oorg go now. Oorg happy to blog with kitty cat and small furry. Oorg say thank you and leave fresh meat with kitty.

Thanks, Oorg. We'll be hosting you again as soon as we can get the charcoal off the monitor.
Well, you just made another 4 cents, because I was really insterested in sound proof sheetrock for about 3 and a half seconds.
ReplyDeleteActually, I've made it to the pay of point twice now in 10 months... About 35,000 page views per $100. My site isn't a blog though. I don't think ads on "normal" blogs do very well with adsense.
hehe
ReplyDeleteOorg's dilemma sounds vaguely familiar...
