IF you monetize your blog you will earn money through adsense. But of course you need to work for your blog.

In my opinion there are great benefits to blogging. Blogging is a great way to increase traffic to the site. SEO is really only one very small part of the many benefits being discovered. Direct communications , brand building etc are also benefits of blogging. Blogging is a way to share our knowledge also.

I like the fact that I can write something, think about it for a few days, come up with a better way to say what I said and change it.

Like, it's not permanent, if I don't like what I said, I can fix it. If I was too tired when I posted and miss spelled something or worded something clumsy, I can fix it after I've slept on it.

You know there are many ways to monetize a blog beyond Adsense. I'm finding that other advertisers are paying more.

Other than monetizing...it's a lot of fun and a great way build search engine relevance. It's a great opportunity to share your thoughts whatever your endgame is.

The benefits far outweight the time spent.

Blogging gives me valuable writing practice, albeit a different type of writing. I keep niche blogs in the topics I enjoy. It's pleasurable writing. It also gives me practice working with WordPress as a CMS. I'm always trying out new plug-ins. I have the hands-on experience that I can bring to my clients.

I've always thought blogs are way underestimated in value. Here's a blog post I wrote in April that describes the extreme power behind blogs and social networking that I call the Net Effect - How your blog, social networking and websites work together.

Then there's another about why a blog is better than a traditional website.

Hope that helps. Just better to post links than to re-write it all, y'know?
