To better understand how the “Celeb Bloggers” make thousands of dollars a month blogging, I have been running about 6 blogs. Each of these blogs offers a different theme, language, reaching out to different ages groups and some just for women. Doing this took up several hours of my day but at the end it did leave several thousands in my pocket.

Here goes:

Gossip: This one took a while to be picked up by the search engines. I drove traffic by commenting on other top Gossip sites and other blogs. What drove traffic in loads of traffic was to constantly keep up with the latest gossip such as “New Moon”, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears etc…. Now, Britney Spears had a tour and new singles out and featured them on her blog. So, what I did was blog about them, search for the best Paradoy videos on YouTube post them and place Britney Spears trackback link onto them. Once Britney’s crew approved them, my link would be on the site’s header. I was able to do this several times, getting my link to the top. Yeah me! Right…. actually that was clever. So, I went on to search for other celebs and bloggers offering the same and repeated. It helps drive that temp traffic even as long as two months but then you need to keep that traffic coming in.

Money: Money slowly came in, as the traffic picked up so did the amount of money. Now, I did not run any affiliate links, paid links, or paid post. I only used WidgetBucks, Google Ads and AdBrite. With Google the money main came in from the Searches. The traffic coming into my “Gossip Blog” is of happily clicking fingers. That is truly what you want. However, the payout from Google was not was high as it can be from my other blogs. So, I would post about electronics here and there. Average total for three months $1,112.00 from all sources.

Note: I enjoyed the fact it can really make some serious money and blogging about gossip does not require that I “think”. Not really, once you know or understand where to find the news and how to dramatize it, then its all about you sending traffic to your blog and posting about a variety of things not just gossip. Such as clothing, brands and their rides.

*I noticed that when I posted about the rides some of the Sports Celebs and Celebs had, the pay out was a lot higher.*

Places to get traffic:
Reality TV sites, MTV, TMZ, X17Online, RadarOnline, OMg.yahoo.com, Celebrity Blogs, Myspace, YouTube, Facebook, Fan Sites, Perez Hilton, various magazines etc…..

This will be a 6 part post. What have you learned from blogging? Do you have a gossip site? How do you get your traffic to your blog?
