For sjov

Der er mange der blogger for sjov. Det vil sige at de har en personlig blog om deres liv eller noget de går meget op i. Det er måske ikke en blog med vanvittigt mange besøgende, men det er jo ikke alt afgørende.

For at hjælpe andre

Der er også dem der har en blog for at hjælpe andre ved at dele den viden de har indenfor et specifikt område. F.eks computere, mobiltelefoner, biler osv.

Forretningsrelateret

Du kan også findes blog som på den ene eller anden måde er relateret til folks arbejde. Hvori de skaber en god kundekontakt.

For at tjene penge

En meget populær trend indenfor blogging er også at tjene penge. Dette kan ske igennem bl.a. AdSense og Tradedoubler. Hvor du opsætter nogle reklamer på din blog, og derigennem tjener penge når dine besøgende klikker på dem.

Men hvorfor blogger du?

Kom med en kommentar nedenfor og fortæl os andre hvorfor du blogger.

Han er medstifter af b5media som har over 300 blogs under sig. Darren blogger blandt andet om hvordan man tjener penge på sin blog, hvordan man får besøgende samt han har skrevet en masse gode begynder guides.

Men her kommer så mit interview med ham (foregår på engelsk):

– Where do you see yourself in five years?

I hope I’m still doing what I’m doing now to be honest. I enjoy blogging as a medium and while I think it’ll probably evolve I’m a communicator at heart and can’t see myself really doing much else.

- Where do you see blogging in five years?

I believe that blogging will continue to evolve and merge with other forms of websites. We’re already seeing it with some of the biggest blogs who are adding social networking, job boards, forums, social bookmarking and more. This will continue – but we’ll also see more and more services that enable smaller to medium sized bloggers to do it too.

- What do you think was the biggest news in the blogging world in 2007?

Which week? It seems a new story broke every week or two. Paid Reviews was a big issue for many – and continues to be.

- If you had to choose only one kind of the ads your running at this time,
which one would it be?

It depends on the blog. If it’s a product related blog I’d probably go with Chitika. If it was a blog more like ProBlogger it would probably be either affiliate programs or private sponsorships. Each ad option works so differently on different blogs so it’s difficult to narrow things down to one. Overall for me it would be either AdSense or Chitika.

- What is the most common mistake you see on other blogs?

Once again – there are so many that I see.
One big one is bloggers giving up too early. They come to blogging expecting loads of readers and to make good money from day one – when this doesn’t happen most give up pretty quickly. If only they kept it up for another few months.

- Which article on your page have most page views?

For the last few months the post with the most page views has been this one – http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/11/15/how-i-make-money-blogging/

Thank you for your time

Det var det, Darren er jo en travl mand.

Darren har nogle spændende synspunkter. Blandt andet det med at han syntes en af de største fejl han ser på mange blogs er at folk giver op for hurtigt, fordi de regner med at læserne og pengene bare strømmer ind i løbet af den første dag. Men som han påpeger, så skal man give det en chance, for det kommer ikke fra den ene dag til den anden.

Hvad er din mening til de spørgsmål jeg stillede Darren? skriv det i en kommentar nedenunder. Jeg glæder mig til at høre din mening.

Dette var hvad de offentliggjorde:

Hello,

We are writing to share some important information with you about
referrals to the AdSense product. As part of ongoing efforts to
optimize revenue opportunities for our publishers, we’re
constantly experimenting with new revenue-enhancing features as
well as tweaking those products already available to our
publishers.

This is the case for referral units directing visitors
to sign up for AdSense. After experimenting with this program
over the past year, we’ve concluded that there are other products
that are of higher value than this program to publishers in your
region. As a result, referral units for the AdSense program will
be retired in the coming weeks. Referrals to other products and
services remain unaffected.

If you’re currently displaying referral units on your site
directing users to sign up for AdSense, read on below for details
about what to expect in the coming weeks.

In early January, the option to add referral units directing users
to the AdSense product will no longer appear in your account. You
will continue to accrue earnings for all existing referrals yet to
generate $100 until late January, at which point the program will
be fully retired. Existing referral units will continue to appear
on your pages.

By the end of January, you should remove all referral units
directing users to AdSense from your pages. Referral units
that you do not remove will continue to be displayed on your pages
as normal, but conversions will no longer be recorded. We
suggest you replace the AdSense referrals with referrals to
another product or service or an additional ad unit.

Thank you for referring users to AdSense in the past. We
apologize for any inconvenience this news may cause.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

Google Inc.

Så hvis du har bannere der linker til deres referral program, så husk at fjern dem inden slutningen af januar.
