    I also recommend reviewing sites and software through review me and sponsored reviews, it can get you quite a good sum of money. Project Wonderful also works for my site.Great article though!

    Kudos on the article. It’s unbelievable how many people start blogging for just the money - and the extents they’ll go to get just a bit of it.

    Contrary to what Eerik believes, I find that sponsored reviews are going to kill your blog. It’s difficult to resist, because it’s a great way to monetize your blog - but it does two things: ruins your credibility (due to conflict of interest) and also, apparently, Google will take you off their listings (or push you down a bit).

    I’ve fallen into this trap, but I’ve been able to scratch my way back out - if you’re really passionate about what you do, do it for free - that way, readers will believe that you’re more objective and “not getting paid off”.

    Hi Herbert! Thanks for commenting.Monetizing should be a result of good content in my opinion.
