Blogger

[Narayana Rao]

Blogger seems to giving multiple money earning opportunities. As Knol
has only adsense and nothing else, as Knol authors we did not have not
idea of what is available on Blogger.

Now there is adsense, affiliate network and Double click for display
advertisements. It means the opportunities for making money have
increased on Blogger. I think same opportunities will be available on
Wordpress but wordpress will allow the facility to only bloggers
having 25,000 page views per month. Knols page views have become one
third now. I think last year also such a drop was there in December
and January. This year also it is there.

Thank you for the information, Narayana Rao. It will be interesting to those who are Into Adsense.

My primary objective in posting on the Web is to share knowledge. To inform. That is my primary object because I believe that there has been too much misinformation out there.

I have taken to route of downloading a copy of all my knols into a file, and put those on my own site

I then picked one particular one, and embedded it into an adsense and analytics wireframe, and went back to Knol and entered a redirection URL.

The point of all that, is to see if when people see the redirect message, which requires them to click to continue, whether they are actually continuing on to the actual now-off-site page... or not.

 

If they are *not* then it makes no sense to even bother using the redirects, regardless of how much traffic the original page was getting.

Without a redirect, will Google still index the original page?  Or will it vanish, leaving the new page, to climb up the page rank?

However, Double click is owned by Google, that is - part of Adsense.

But, it is true that Blogger alias blogspot is better than WordPress
hosted on
WordPress.com, which, while initially free, may end up costing lot of
money.

While sharing knolwledge may be main motive, it should not cost author
money.

Better deal is self-hosted WordPress - where you indeed have freedom
to select sources of revenue.

Of course Google will index the pages - according to page rank of your
site. Redirect will certainly help.

I have (after some experiments) done the same thing ( my knol page is
here:http://www.iei.info/knol/pf/ )
and added Adsense. However, using the Google-takout (=the file
download) required lot of hand work + knowledge of
HTML. For one, there is a bug (described in my former message) and
then - all href links to the same or other knols go through the same
annoying 'redirect question'. Some images references are screwed up.
Frankly, while I appreciate the redirect, I was expecting better
options from Google.

Yes, they are all out there to get upgrades. But what happens when you
become unemployed and cannot afford to pay you annual fees any longer,
or when you have passed on and there is no one to pay your subs? I
suppose you lose everything?
