Blogging, blogging and blogging. Nowadays everyone’s got a blog; everyone is taking part in one blogging activity or the other: posting articles, reading, commenting, sharing, etc.
But the big question is: Is everyone also getting the benfits of blogging? Ie., is everyone also
making money or getting paid from blogging? The big answer is NO<.
‘Everyone’ knows that without traffic(visitors), a blog cannot be
meanifuly monetized… Ehmm, unless you have something fishy in your
cupboard. Afteral, who will buy the e-books? Who will view the ads.? Who
will click the affliate banners? – The visitors of course.
Since they need traffic to get revenue on their blogs, many bloggers, in
frustration take to the risky business of spamming, buying robot
traffic and eventually clicking their own ads which is illegal and
strictly not allowed by Adsense and other ad monetization
programmes.
