Hi, Before I can share some ideas, promise me that you will nor get tired in reading. Otherwise, you will NOT learn because this is the only way you will learn. And definitely, your blog will not a quality traffic. Why? Because you need to confirm if the one you are reading is for real, and because NOT all that you hear is complete (I don't mean wrong, I mean incomplete). Now, are you ready to read? First, you may get traffic from link building but it is a very small percentage. This is because link building is ONLY to be popular in search engines, and may vary anytime. This is due to quality of links or when that link was removed. Yes, you can earn money from your blog if you work very hard, I mean really hard. And you must start by making quality and useful post. This is because no matter how many million visitors you invite, or HIGH PR (which you can get from building) they will only stay on your blog for less than a second. There are tons of ways to monetize from your blog, and you can only learn them through reading and trying. But lastly (if you are still reading this), do not blog just to earn money because blogging is a passion, not a work. I have been a blogger for more than a year, and I am still reading tons of posts everyday. If you cannot take that, find another way to earn money on-line. By the way, one good way to increase your traffic is to promote it, and one good way to promote it is to place a link at your profile....here at myLot. Good luck!

I agree with you fatherblogger - you can earn money from your blog if you work very hard Blogging for money requires a lot of time and effort. It is fun and, with real commitment and determination, it can be profitable.
