How Much $$$ Can A Personal Blog Make Off Of Ads?

    If I start a personal blog which focuses on current events in society, daily things we deal with as a society, etc...how much money can I make off of ads if I get a readership going? Can anyone give me a ballpark figure in dollars that pertains to how many unique visitors I manage to pull in per month?

    What do you think the owner of successful blogs like Life Hacker make off of their ads (ballpark figure)?

    big blogger make more than $10000 and even more...but only after 3-4 years..u have to grow fast then be popular....you can start with earning $100-$500/month after 3 months if u post a lot from reviewme,payperpost,smorty etc & not sure how much from banner ads/adsense ads.

    I make about $50/mo from ma blog in sig. consistently..just completed 3 years now...still not accepetd by payperpost....i don't post a lot(student)...else $100 is too easy...

    the age of the site, link populaity, traffic, etc.

    Also depends on the niche. If advertisers make big money on sales and you can generate them you have a better chance of getting good $. Also try numerous ad networks.

    The dude, Ask Dave taylor, who posts oh high traffic search terms, said his blog alone pays the mortgage.

    Nice one.

    like someone here said, the sky is the limit, the more opportunities u r open to, the more you can put in your pocket. if u take everything without putting the readers off by ads you can very very easily go over 1000$, and from there its up to your creativity and traffic.

    Everybody is right. Just take things one step at a time, and see where it gets you. The only thing bad thing about monetizing a blog is that it usually takes some time...
