But when someone said your post, I was in fact amazed that there are plenty of ways to go about it and acquire and even much better benefits. Maybe that is why I haven’t really had a multitude of loyal readers. I should have consulted your site first before starting mine.

I thought it offered a lot of really great insight into the blog network business. <blockquote> Blog networks today are, fundamentally, media businesses. And media businesses today have 3 fundamental goals if they want to survive: get more readers, grow the engagement level of your readers and maximize revenue by growing the number of revenue streams you have. </blockquote> I thought this was a great point. It seems very comparable to traditional print media. ...the average blogger will almost certainly start to drop ad units in favour of affiliate stuff, will then almost certainly move onto pay per post type situations and will, hopefully, eventually get back to just blogging because they love it. </blockquote> Jeremy's comments were right on, I have literally been through that exact process! This reminds me that blogs in general have to start thinking outside of the advertising box when it comes to income. Products, affiliates, subscriptions may be more profitable in the future. Well, I'm not sure about subscriptions, but products for sure. This was an incredible post IMO. I thought it offered a lot of really great insight into the blog network business.

I started Blog Media 4 months ago and since then the network has been growing steadily. I have done only 10% of SEO work on each, as at the moment, I am pushing my staff to focus on research, research and quality content compilation. Monetization has not really crossed my mind, so on that front, I am safe, as I am not really depending on the network for revenue. The interview of definitely interesting.
