How about a little link love?
When I first started Blogged Out, and the Blogged Out Project, my aim was to earn £1,000 from the blog by the end of June.
That time is coming, and to be honest, I’ve not earnt a penny from this blog, traffic is erratic and dips and peaks depending if I promote the blog on webmaster forums.
I’ve made a decision today to continue with the Blogged Out Project until the 31 December 2007, still with the same aim of earning as much as I can from the blog, and donating 40% of this revenue to a charity that my readers will choose.
I have come to the conclusion that to earn money from a blog you have to have 1) high traffic and 2) good Google Page Rank, so these are the two factors that I am concentrating on for the next three months.
I’m blogging my socks off to help you, so please be kind enough to add a link to Blogged Out in your blogroll, and in return I will add you to the contributions page, and together we can help promote our blogs.

I usually read your blog through RSS but today I came to the site. My first thought was you have no ads. Then as I began to look around I could see things were a bit messed up. Have you tried to look at your blog through Firefox? You may want to look at your stats and see what % of your traffic iss firefox and make some changes.
As per page rank, it’s something that does take some time, I registered and started a site in Mar of 2007 and already has a PR 4. I did this with post backlinks from others in my niche and used technorati to it’s max. I won’t add the link since i’m not here to advertise but email if you have any questions.
Hi Richard,
Yes, I am aware of the firefox issue, and Im going to try and resolve that this weekend. Regarding no ads, I took all ads down to concentrate on getting more traffic and increased PR.
The blog was PR5, but dropped slightly to PR4 this month.
Darren,
Sorry, when I sent the message this morning, there must have been something wrong with my PR plugin for firefox, it said you had no PR yet. But after reading this,I check it out again and yes I see you have 4. My fault.. Keep up with the good blogging and thanks for the time you spend doing this.
Thanks Richard.
I’ve sorted the issue with the sidebar, just the banners don’t align with the sidebar at the moment in Firefox.
Needs looking at, but surprisingly I found 58% people are using Firefox using this blog so it’s important it works properly!
You’ve been on my blogroll for ages - am I on your contributions page?
Richard, I think you’ve asked me this before
