    Some people have strong feelings with respect to making money from their blogs. Is there any manual book or guideline to apply this? I have no knowledge about this. Thanks alot

    Do you want to:

    A) Make money from people clicking ads

    or

    B) Get lots of readers and sell stuff to them

    Two types of blogs, different guides to do well with them :)

    Making money also depends on your niche. Google Adsense works for some, but for certain niches, it pays terrible. Your best bet is to network and research to see whats best for your niche.

    Adsense also requires very good traffic, it won't do much good for you if you are not getting hundreds of page views a day, and it depends on your niche...all ad payouts are not the same, and some pay just downright crappy.

    You first mission is to build your blog and generate a substantial and dependable traffic stream, then test out the best program for it.
    If you open a new restaurant, you can't put food on empty tables. You have to get people in the door first, and that means building a bad assed restaurant with great food.... so you need to build a great looking blog, with proper SEO and great content.

    Once you have that together, you will have options for monetization.

    Start reading some of the "bloggers" blogs like ShoeMoney, DoshDosh (and I am sure others here can recommend more of them than I can) and learn.

    If adsense is your mission, then hang around in the adsesnse sub forum here on DP and "listen" to what is going on,and other people questions. If you decide to go with affiliate marketing, hang around that sub forum...it's not all the same, each requires different techniques, but the bottom line is you can't do any of them without traffic, and targeted traffic at that..and the only way to do that is either:

    Be great at SEO
    Be O.K.at SEO with a great blog
    Be O.K. at SEO, with a good blog, and great at marketing.

    ..or luck up on a great keyword domain with hundreds of thousands of searches every month and secure the top spot. If you don't have any of that going for you, then you have to learn from the ground up, and stick with it.

    There are a lot of blogs to help you, just search the phrase make money online at Google.

    I believe you must read a lot first before you start as there are a lot of bloggers who are failing because they don't know what they are doing.

    However, there are three basic questions that you should ask yourself first.

    1.0 Why do you want to make money from blogging? For school, pleasure, savings, etc? This is very important because you will need a target, say $50 for the first month, $100 for the second month.

    2.0 What are your qualities to create a successful blog? Writing contents, creating videos, product selling, etc?

    3.0 Are you a patient person and willing to devote time to read, analyze, and share your knowledge to others?

    If you are convinced with your answers, then you can start making a blog using the free hosting from Blogger. Amanda has a complete list of tutorials here - http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/04/complete-list-of-blogger-tutorials.html

    Hope that helps.

    well Adsense is no doubt very effective but for those who have just started it is not possible to get your blog approved for Adsense as it takes time. so, initially focus on writing good content in the meantime you can make money by writing blog post and selling links on your blog . there are some websites which act as mediators between bloggers and advertisers , so for sometime you can go on doing this and once you start generating good flow of traffic then you can opt for Adsense ,affiliate marketing etc.

    It's all about what you can figure out for yourself. This is not a cookie cutter business.
