    I stumbled across this blog:

    http://www.tangsanctuary.com/

    It's full of advertising, and it says:

    But it is a blog about his family with loads of pictures of his kids and wife all through it.

    Lets something really creepy about it all

    Reminds me of the people who set up sites for donations to help pay thier bills or told life story to get people to donate money.

    I just don't see the appeal of these personal blogs that splatter pictures of their famlies and stories. Seems like it's a better fit for a MySpace account that's private (as private as the Internet gets anyway).

    To each his own though.

    I know exactly what he's at. I have 3 blogs the same.
    Im signed up with 2 Blog Advertising sites and other than ads the blogs are filled up with automated content.

    Im making over $150 a week so far this way.. and am building up PR and Alexa Rank on 3 more sites to sign them up.

    The family info on his site is just to prove to blog advertising admins that it isnt all ads!

    I think good on him. If he makes some money from it and his family doesn't mind.

    Go for gold and I wish him best of luck

    No offence to the readers off that blog, but who has such a sad life to actually read that blog and the blog owner to post about their family/kids? Seriously though, the world these days there are so many perverts, who knows who could be looking at there children?

    You should see if you can sell him a "No family members were hurt in the making of this blog" banner.

    I wouldn't call it "whoring" his family out for goodness sake. Do we really need to toss insults around like that? They made some money on the internet, money they wouldn't have had otherwise. Nothing wrong with that, if there was we wouldn't all be here.

    More I look at bloggers trying to make a buck with their blogs more I feel 2g**ls1c*p is a better option. Why wasting your time developing and promoting your blog and whoring yourself out with paid reviews and ads on your blog so you would earn 1,50$/day when you can pay 100$ to crackwhores doing nasty stuff and make a fortune. Hey, people are sick and why not give them what they want? They'll get satisfied and you'll get rich, it's a win-win combination. It's certainly more effective than money-making blogs. Don't you think?
