Galing naman!
Ako, i’m aiming for the $100-a-year club! mwahahahaha!

Time to consider blogging a bit more seriously for da money ….
I might turn my blog into a showbiz blog, considering i’m getting hits from searches like: “chynna hortaleza”, “Kuya Germs”, “Robin Padilla”, “Juliana Palermo” and … “Jim Ayson” !

I got about 6 or 7 people giving hint for their interest to join the group blog. I will have to draft an outline first before I present this to everyone.

Send me an email if you have specifics or details you want to suggest.

@ ka edong

I don’t have the figures for the others yet. Very secretive bloggers… hehehe… Sassy is on the top of the list though, I’m sure of that. She’s getting 5 to 10 times more than us average bloggers. No specifics, baka magalit sya saken.

I’m not sure kung kasama ako, I just recently joined the $100-a-month club eh.

who else? batjay? (i don’t think he puts google adsense). sino pa ba?

Seriously, I love writing reviews of websites and toys for the big geek boys and I agree with what you said with T3, there’s definitely a local market for this type of publication.

OT: Just posted the second part of my Practical AdSense Tips series. Will appreciate any comments you or your readers can dish out.

Looks like a lot of people are searching for these services. I get hundreds of keyword hits for Smart WiFi (along with my entry on Gonuts Donuts hehehe)

@ Marc

Yes, I was contemplating on the same line of thought. Localized product and service group review blog. I believe with a significant number of people like you and Migs on board, we can turn it into a local review tech blog portal of sorts? If T3 can do it in print, maybe we can do the same online. How’s that sound?

Here’s a timely post about blogs and junkets.

The “critical mass” idea being pushed by Rickey above is so true. The optimist in me tells me that traffic will come eventually…pero ang tagal, it’s so frustrating!

I think the best advise would probably be get a “profitable” niche to blog about. Then dominate that niche.

The lot of ad clicks are actually coming from one-time visitors. Regular readers are already advert-blind. ProBlogger’s 17 other blogs are actually very focused ranging from Digital Photography (highest earner), Mobile Devices, the Michael Jackson trial and even about Pope John Paul.

If you’ve noticed, the focus blogs are about topics which rank very high on Google keyword searches. Thus, you’d expect the visitors to be very click-hungry.

@ Ka Edong

There’s a western version of that somewhere, I read once.

The only problem there is ‘conflict of interest’. Will the endorsers be able to objectively review the product/service knowing that the ad revenues will come from these advertisers? Will the advertisers continue to sponsor these bloggers if some of the reviews are unfavorable to them? There’s also the issue of product lock-ins where bloggers are forced to choose the better one of competing products, while both are sponsors.

Take for example my Smart WiFi entry, if Smart sponsored my blog, will they allow negative comments from readers?

I think there’s a way around that but I can’t think of one yet.

(Thinking out loud again…)

If blogkadahan has a “theme” that everybody writes about in turn, how about starting a blog-”roadblock” that gets blogger writing about a common product or service?

Isn’t “hundreds of bloggers writing articles about your company/service/product” a good sales pitch to get Phil sponsors?

Aside from AdSense, I believe we can get local advertisers to get into blog advertising. I have had a lot of experience with local advertisers and I think if we speak up a little louder, more and more will hear us. Though the payouts aren’t really that big, I guess microadvertising can come into play.

That’s one reaosn why I put up PTB, to show to the public that a network of top bloggers can haul in enough traffic for brand exposure.

Problogger has good content and with so many bloggers starting up on blogging who wanted tips on blogging visiting his site, he really has the numbers.

Didn’t he said that blogging about technology earns him crappy revenue?

With people announcing their adsense numbers like this, (Weblogs, Inc. closing in on $1M/year AdSense revenue http://calacanis.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000403051129/), the competition will be fierce.

$100/month is do-able, but your website needs to reach critical mass before it gets there. Yugatech over here is doing a great job isn’t he?
