I once read *this* one from Brad:
,----[ Quote ]
| It has gotten good enough that one can now readily see making a living as
| a good web writer through adsense. At an extreme example, my Copyright
| Myths article, which is admittedly very popular, is now generating over
| $250 per month in revenue. Just that one article. An author able to
| generate articles that popular (admittedly difficult, part of the
| popularity comes from having been around for decades and being linked
| to from many places) could make a living wage.

Needless to mention, it didn't make my day. The contentment that I get,
nonetheless, is from knowing that visitors read material that I write. It
gives a sense of achievement and opens many doors (e.g. people in my field
of research know me much better).
To use repellent terms, I believe that any site without egocentric
attribution must at least make profits, or else it becomes pointeless.
That said, sustaining profits in a changing terrain is yet another
matter-slash-problem. Brad Templeton has had his material up for many
years (he is among the first people on the Net), but who knows where
Google will be 5 years down the line? Who knows where the Internet will
drift...?

China to have 60 million bloggers by end of 2006.
Best wishes,
