    Honestly, this question is the worst possible question you could have asked because its common sense. Of course you can! Why couldn't you?!? A blog is just like any other website. You get traffic, you place ads, your traffic clicks those ads. Please excuse my venting, but come on people. I see at least one thread a day asking if its possible to make money blogging. That is the same question as, "Is it possible to make money with a website?", and of course the answer is yes.

    Why would a blog be any different from a forum or other website when using Adsense or other ad networks? So please stop asking these really dumb questions. Thank you.

    You definitely can but you need to work hard on content if blogging if your thing. Take a look at Yaro Starak's free blogging blueprint as well as John Cow's free guide.

    Those are the best blogging resources around

    You can make money with anything, its not down to it being a blog, shop, review site or anything like that, its down to you basically and what you do with it.

    As said, you can make money with anything online, even a blog. It all depends on the traffic you can get. More traffic usually means more clicks, which means more money, especially with stuff like Adsense.

    It obviously can.

    The core thing here, as it is with regular sites, is TRAFFIC.

    Yeah.. there's some money in blogging, but you'll only get out what you put in, and it takes a lot of work to get anything worthwhile going.

    Hahahha, what a question !!!
    Blog means website with permanently updated new content, fresh content means joy for search engines, search engines' joy means many visitors, many visitors mean many clicks and lot of moneys. A blog is one of the best method for making money online with advertising.

    Sorry I can see if you are upset here, this question to me is not dumb question as you put, it is just to I would like to know the tactics people are using to make money using their blogs, learning never ends even if you much about blogging but I bet you there is something that you will get which is new and you never new it. So please do not be mad at me, it is my question and I wanted to know.

    Well that is where the dumb question comes in. If you wanted to know the tactics, ask how people are making money these days with their blog instead of just asking if they "can" make money online. I am not mad at you, nor was I being mean (sorry if I sounded mad), I was simply venting on your thread because I see lots of questions similar to this one. So here is a new question to ask:

    "What are some of the best methods to make money with a blog?"

    I think you will get better responses with that one.

    I don't think Perez Hilton is a member here, but he would assure you that it can. That said, I think the proportion of people who end up making a living in that way is really too tiny to be worth talking about very seriously. My understanding is that people making significant money from blogging are doing so in other ways of which the top one must surely be with affiliate links?

    I make money with my blog doing paid posts. Yes, it's true google doesn't like blogs with paid posts. In spite of that, I still get a lot of organic traffic and make money with adsense also

    I've made over $1000 this year with payperpost

    Here's the proof...and this post was from September....

    I suppose the other question that beckons with this somewhat ambiguous (though by no means bad) question - is what constitutes 'making money'. I make a meagre sum from tshirtalert.com, but I won't be giving up my day job any time soon (oh I wish that I could!)
