I've been keeping this one going for a while without any problems from Google.

One thing you must never do is click on one of the Adsense ads on your site. Google does not tolerate any click fraud. They have heard all of the reasons and do not except any of them.

One downside to the BlogSpot sites is that Google can close them in the blink of an eye. Why? Good question.

Good Bloggin

Nice read. Now that makes me more decided to host my own blog instead of getting it free from Wordpress or Blogger.

It's not just money that you can earn.
Try swagbucks. Just register and you can post their banners on your site. For every referral, you're gonna earn points, which you can redeem for prizes (like Amazon gift cards). Try it, I've already recieved 4 amazon gift cards worth $5 and i just started last christmas.
Here's the link ==> swagbucks.com: Swag Store

It solely depends on the popularity of your blog, if you have a vast no. of readers then Adsense is alone enough to fulfill your desires.

Download WordPress from wordpress.com and set it up on your own hosting.That will put you in control.

I remembered that Wordpress can be downloaded from wordpress.org and used as free, non-commercial service on wordpress.com?

I gave up on google adsense. I have been chatting with a few people about it and they all have had negative experiences with it. It seems that once you get to the point of getting paid out, they find SOMETHING to disable your account for. Too many rules-- So I just prefer not to deal with them :-)

The "Adsense" money maker game can be a bit of a headache. However, if you follow their "Rules" it is possible to make some money. Not a lot, but some.

I get a $100 or so every couple of months. Not much, but it pays for coffee and doughnuts. I'm not pushing the sites as Adsense sites but there are one or two Adsense blocks on a page. You just have to be careful that you do not click any of the ads or even have friends go to your site and click the ads. They can spot that too.

One common method is to get a site indexed in a niche and then hammer it with good back-links. It's not impossible but it does take some doing.


Good marketing

You have that backwards. One would want to forget about WordPress.com and set up a self hosted blog with the free software download from WordPress.org.
