Look past the yakkers, hobbyists, and political mobs. Your customers and rivals are figuring blogs out. Our advice: Catch up...or catch you laterEditor's note: The May, 2005, cover story, "Blogs Will Change Your Business," continues to receive lots of attention online. But many of the details in the story are out of date. So we've called many of the original sources and asked readers to help provide fixes and updates. For the version of the story with 2008 annotations, please visit www.businessweek.com/go/08/blog.Monday 9:30 a.m. It's time for a frank talk. And no, it can't wait. We know, we know: Most of you are sick to death of blogs. Don't even want to hear about these millions of online journals that link together into a vast network. And yes, there's plenty out there not to like. Self-obsession, politics of hate, and the same hunger for fame that has people lining up to trade punches on The Jerry Springer Show. Name just about anything that's sick in our society today, and it's on

Do blog site owners who own more blogs make more Adsense profits?This is an interesting question to ask because there are well known bloggers who make huge profits from one single major blog. However there are also other equally well-known blog site owners who make their Adsense money from dozens of different blogs. So where does that leave somebody who is just starting out?The key thing to remember about a blog site is that a blog’s main function is being a web log or online diary. As the term "online diary" suggests, this is where a blogger can generate a lot of interesting personal comment and intimate details and information about a particular niche subject or topic that they have chosen to cover. Blogs are quick and easy to set up. Blogs are a less expensive way of advertising your businessThe fact is that a blog is hardly the place where you would want to reach for your credit card. Yet this does not make a blog less important. Blogs are classified as being increasingly importa
My God, there is no way the majority of bloggers will ever make it. I am not sure if I am in that group or not. I see so many blogs and the only way I feel I can break through is if two thirds of them drop dead. I enjoy doing this although I should just be working another job. I have more mouth than an elephant's got ass but unless I am out there who cares? My money is tighter than a gnat's ass
Something happened yesterday saying on my blog that internet explorer cannot open the site. I freaked out thinking it is something I did on my site. After erasing many things off my site like ads, html and JavaScript codes. I found this happened to other blogs on the net too. It looks like it was widespread thing so I don’t feel so bad. It looks like it is working normal today. That is scary when the blog is not working right it really scared me. I am very glad it is working good today. I guess my blog needed a makeover anyway with doing that maybe I will change it up some now. - Reliable Web Hosting
Many heated discussion between bloggers about sponsored posts and making money on blogs. Some think it is wrong and others think it is fine. No matter what people will have something good or bad to say. This is something I wanted to blog about for a long time now but I was afraid to. I started this blog is that I love to write so I will continue to write posts no matter what. I still view blogs with sponsored posts on them for the quality posts they write that are interesting to read. I don’t mind seeing sponsored posts as long as the blog has a good mix of normal posts too. I visit blogs because I like to read what they write it is as simple as that. I really see nothing wrong with it since it is part of life money we all need it. I think it is the future of advertising for companies with the reach blogs have on the internet now. Making money is part of life it is a normal progression we all need it especially now with the economy. I am not a single mother I don’t have children

I think what Rosie's trying to say is that, instead of being all judgemental about Britney Spears and her family, we should all rather pray for her and her loved ones during this very difficult time.

This is for all of you bloggers that have spent many creative, working hours composing fresh content to add to your blog.

When blogs emerged they were mostly online diaries where people would write, in a chronological fashion, about their thoughts and day to day activities. It was natural, therefore, to display such diary entries fully on the homepage.

You can stop worrying. I'm back!!
That being said, the next couple of months are going to be extremely busy for me. No, unfortunately not with this blog, but with real life. My goal will be to post three times a week - some weeks it will be more and some weeks it will be less. Just bear with me.
Let's start 2008 with a post I've wanted 5 Zoom(s)
This year I believe web 2.0 will be strong this year. The reason is because a lot of things has happened near or towards the end of 2007. One popular theme I have realized or picked up was interactive templates or web 2.0 web designs. My template which was create by Brian Gardner is a newspaper themed template, which I added some interaction at the top and front page of my blog.
Interaction with a blog is important as we slowly evolve into web 2.0 and socializing. We as users are getting lazier by the day and year. I think 2008 is that year. But websites are also evolving and even blogs. There is some controversy on blogs looking like newspapers and not the traditional ’scroll’ blog.
But I personally like being organized, I’m a Virgo - can’t help it =P! We just entered a new year and we need to be better organized. The issue around organizing a blog is the ‘moving away’ of content scroll. If you go to any blog a traditional blog will have their conte

Lately i have discovered a report from John Chow how he can make money with Chitika that talked about the $50k blogs that brought in 500 million dollar in 2006. Maybe each blog can make up to $10,000 dollar that lead to the total amount of $500M.According to a recent case study by the University of Texas and Chitika, the top 50,000 blogs on the Internet generated $500 million in ad revenue last year. That sounds all well and good but I think the methodology to come up with the $500 million number is questionable. Chitika took their 12,000 publishers, found their Technorati ranking and how much they made from Chitika in 2006. Then they made the assumption that the blogs will run three revenue sources and came up with a revenue number. The report in PDF file illustrated the fact how blogging from blogs earned that large amount of money. In the report stated the details of how blogging can make million dollar by bloggers with the total sum as the above. That is something interesting to kn
Until October of this year, I merely dabbled in blogging. I sat at the edge of the blogsphere pool, casually dangling my toes into the cold, uncertain waters. In October, I dove in head first and found that the waters are not so cold and that there are several life guards standing by who are more than willing to help you tread the waters.

De nuevo me he vuelto a llevar otra sorpresa analizando las Estadísticas de Visitas de mi Blog: esta vez el ilustre visitante provenía nada más y nada menos que de la sede del PSOE en Madrid (ampliar imagen). Si hace pocos días la gran sorpresa se producía al enterarme que desde la Moncloa se usaba este blog para entender el concepto de Clasificación de Deuda por Moody´s y por Standard and Poors, ahora la sorpresa es aún mayor. Lo primero que se me vino a la cabeza es que los progres se habían enterado del camino marcado por el gran Z y habían decidido aprender algo de economía… Pero muy pronto esta teoría se vino abajo al analizar la estadística, pues el visitante se había quedado en la página principal del blog y no había pasado a los post de economía. Viendo que el origen de la visita provenía de Voluntarios Populares, mi segunda teoría fue que las jóvenes hordas progres se lanzaban de nuevo al ataque, preparando un asedio a todos los blogs pro
