Make Money Online Using MyBlogLog
Can it be done? Can you make money online using MyBlogLog. Well I have an idea… I am not going to do it, but I will pass the idea down to someone who wants to do this. For months and months people in the blogosphere have posted and debated the actual purpose of MyBlogLog. “What do I do with MyBlogLog”, “Does MyBlogLog actually have some kind of purpose”, etc…
Well, I don’t know about all that… I love MyBlogLog and using their social networking services gives my sites tons of traffic. However, you will get mixed messages about that if you ask others in the blogosphere… some people like MyBlogLog and find it useful while others don’t.
But… again, this post isn’t about MyBlogLog and the debated usefulness of their service. No, this post is about How To Make Money Online Using MyBlogLog. The concept and idea is very simple and I just thought about it when I gave ManilaMom a few words of encouragement!
How To Make Money Online With MyBlogLog
Everyone and their grandmother knows that there is money to be made online… everyone and their grandmother knows it is easier to do this with a high PageRank.
- Does Your Blog’s PageRank Suck? Maybe… However, when was the last time you looked at your MyBlogLog Member Page or Community Page’s PageRank? ManilaMom’s MyBlogLog Page has a PageRank of 5! Just as most of my MyBlogLog Pages have a PR5 as well! I don’t know about you… but to me that’s money talking!
- Ok! Great! So What! My individual MyBlogLog Pages are PR5… big deal… How do you expect me to make money online using these pages? Answer: SIMPLE! Use the Blogs I Author Section to feature blog sites that want to be listed on your PR5 page. You can charge a service fee to co-author a site which will display their screenshot and link to their MyBlogLog page which then directly displays a link to their home page. You could charge people $5 dollars per month (or whatever price you feel is fair) to be a co-author of their blog which will make it appear on your PR5 MyBlogLog page.
- People pay high dollar to have their links placed on PR5 pages… and now you can get in on that a little bit using MyBlogLog.
Again… I am not going to do this… I am too busy with other campaigns. But, mark my words… I totally see people doing this in the near future.

Wow! First of all, thank you so much for the special mention and the link. I have already been learning much valuable lessons here that this is such a bonus!
Then, of course, thanks for the idea. I think I’ll explore it since my blogs are still not earning much at Adsense. It will have to be weighed carefully, though, since I’d have to screen the participating blogs. I wouldn’t want to be identified with blogs that might not jive well with my being a freelance writer-editor, especially with me appearing as co-author.
Don’t the community members already benefit from being shown there? Why would they pay if they could just join the community instead?
Your page only shows the first 100 members. If you don’t make the first 100 then you are stuck being in page 5 or something like that. My site has 186 for instance, so someone could pay me to be a co-author of their site just for the purpose of appearing on the top of my MyBlogLog page.
Oh, and I just saw that it is my frontpage, also named ManilaMom, that is PR5. That lists the blogs I author. The specific page for the ManilaMom blog itself, which shows its community members, is still PR3. The frontpage has no community members so their blogs will need to be co-authored by me to appear there.
By the way, is a PR decline possible? What should I do to maintain the PR5 or even improve it in the future? I’m also wondering at how it even got a PR 5. Has it anything to do with the list of contacts and the communities I joined? Or traffic?
MyBlogLog Pages are natural PageRank magnets for the simple fact that if you were to draw a huge visual map, you would see that pretty much every page within their entire has ties into every other page.
Betty links to Betsy who links to Jeff and Doug, who both link to Scott and Scott links to Daniel and Kyle who link to James a Mike… etc…
Would be somewhat a visual reference to what I am talking about.
Got it. So as long as I continue the networking, things will be on the up and up, right?
Networking IS a very powerful and necessary task. It’s how I’m learning everything as I go along. It helps me assess and refine – or even redirect – my plans in order to reach my goals in a faster and more efficient way.
Thanks to online angels like you who unselfishly share knowledge.
Blessings on you and your family!
You are welcome… also one of the most important things you can do to help increase traffic to your site is to comment on other sites. When you comment on other sites, try to offer up some great content. This not only creates a little value in yourself in the eyes of the author, but this also is a reflection upon what people can expect to see on your site. If you comment on other sites with one liners such as, “Hey Nice Post” or “Wow… that was cool!” then people will gain the perception that your posts are going to be similar in nature to your comments. Where if you invest 10 minutes into writing up a nice comment… this not only sells yourself to the blog author of the site, but it also sells yourself to their readers.
I place as much value in commenting as I do posting… and in many aspects almost consider them the same.
Good luck, and let me know if there is anything I can do to further help you.
Very interesting Garry…
Although this is a good idea, like you, I don’t have the time!
I am too busy trying to keep up with my full-time job, my new house, and my blog!
This idea will be taken up by someone who has a lot of time on their hands…say…somebody like…RT Cunningham!
Hehe, Matt is crazy. My PR on both MyBlogLog pages are 4 and 3 (member/community). I don’t think I’m in any position to make a bargain.
Ahhh but RT…you are moving up so fast! You & Garry are like the Supermen of bloggers!
I’m just happy to be on both of your blogrolls!
can someone point me to where the page rank is shown on mybloglog? I assume mine is close to zero but I can’t find it.
I think they are all looking it up through google. Am I right? I tried alexa and didn’t find it there. Forgot they just tell you a large number.

I use the Google Toolbar. It is available in Internet Explorer and FireFox.
LOL… give yourself credit too… your site is growing at a very accelerated pace.
Also, I am happy to have you on my blogroll. Because if you weren’t on my blogroll that would mean that my link wasn’t on your site.
Everyone in my blogroll is a contacted/requested link exchange. So without my blogroll maybe things would be different for me.
Some of the folks in my blogroll contacted me and made the request. A lot of the folks I contacted. And there are some that I have added in because I found sites that added mine without even telling me about it! LOL!!!
I love spreading link love… It is so damn difficult to get traffic to your site… now that my site has traffic, I have no problem helping others out. I did this when my site was PR0 and I will do it when it becomes PR6, PR7 or even higher (fingers crossed).
Nor am I. My pages are PR5 but even still I would have to put a focus on doing this… I have too many irons in the fire. But, I know that there are people out there that would work deals and make it work!
What about some non-google bar sites. I know there are some but I did go to one that averaged it all out said your highest and lowest…can’t remember where and didn’t save it.
