Blogs are a wondrous innovation, keys that have unlocked a vast treasury of self-expression and allowed underdogs everywhere to challenge giants. No, wait! Blogs are a scourge that is debasing journalism, undermining traditional authority, drowning us all in meaningless chatter, and destroying civilization as we know it. Say Everything chronicles blogging's unplanned rise and improbable triumph, tracing its impact on politics, business, the media, and our personal lives.

To complete this How-To you will need: A blog Dedication A good PageRank Step 1: Focus your blog Focus your blog. Blogs that make money are blogs with a specific market and a good PageRank. Be passionate about your subject and generate as much traffic as you can. If you're obsessed, others will be as well. Tip: Don't expect to get rich from your blog. At least not right away. Some popular blogs report more than $40000 dollars a month in earnings—but unless you've got millions of visitors already, don't expect to quit your day job anytime soon. Step 2: Sell advertising Selling advertising is the top moneymaking method with a blog. AdSense, a service from Google, will place relevant ads from advertisers on your blog. If your reader clicks on the link, you get paid. Exactly how much depends on your traffic.

Anna Marie Virzi, ClickZ, interviews Karen Wickre, Google, at Connected Marketing Week, ClickZ Blogworks Forum, San Francisco, 2010 on the subject of how do you guide an army of bloggers. Karen says Google has about 150 corporate blogs and teams manage each of those. In order to avoid a blog coming across as too much "corporate speak," Karen says Google does a bit of best practices training with each blog team, showing them the Google blog style and voice so the blogs can offer lively, useful content. The vast majority of Google's corporate blog readers are already familiar with the subject matter of these corporate blogs and the role of each team is to make sure the content is useful, has tips, and encourages feedback. Blog posts are drafted and edited by each blog team. Karen recommends to other corporations that they approach their blogs as if they were publications, to engage the reader, and make the content interesting, not just formal announcements. In addition, blogs should be conversational and friendly in tone and provide useful links for its readers.
