Question by : Why don’t people who make money blogging tell you how much they really make?
I am looking at websites that explain how to make money with ppc or affiliate websites but they do not tell you how much they make. Why is that? They say thousands or millions but no website gives exact numbers like, we had 100 visitors and made 3 dollars this month.

Basically, it’s all BS. The only way you could make a good income off a blog website is to like have Yahoo or MSN pick it up. And really, those bloggers are not contributing knowledge for the most part – just their opinions.

The US tax code has been so bastardized to make it “better” that at present there is no simple % that would work…But there is also so much $ tied up in the tax prep system.

You might notice many of your favorite websites look different today. Wikipedia is down. WordPress is dark. We’re censoring our homepage logo and asking you to petition Congress. So what’s the big deal?

Right now in Washington D.C., Congress is considering two bills that would censor the web and impose burdensome regulations on American businesses. They’re known as the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House. Here’s what they’d do:

• PIPA & SOPA will censor the web. These bills would grant new powers to law enforcement to filter the Internet and block access to tools to get around those filters. We know from experience that these powers are on the wish list of oppressive regimes throughout the world. SOPA and PIPA also eliminate due process. They provide incentives for American companies to shut down, block access to and stop servicing U.S. and foreign websites that copyright and trademark owners allege are illegal without any due process or ability of a wrongfully targeted website to seek restitution.
• PIPA & SOPA will risk our industry’s track record of innovation and job creation. These bills would make it easier to sue law-abiding U.S. companies. Law-abiding payment processors and Internet advertising services can be subject to these private rights of action. SOPA and PIPA would also create harmful (and uncertain) technology mandates on U.S. Internet companies, as federal judges second-guess technological measures used by these companies to stop bad actors, and potentially impose inconsistent injunctions on them.
• PIPA & SOPA will not stop piracy. These bills wouldn’t get rid of pirate sites. Pirate sites would just change their addresses in order to continue their criminal activities. There are better ways to address piracy than to ask U.S. companies to censor the Internet. The foreign rogue sites are in it for the money, and we believe the best way to shut them down is to cut off their sources of funding. As a result, Google supports alternative approaches like the OPEN Act.

Fighting online piracy is extremely important. We are investing a lot of time and money in that fight. Last year alone we acted on copyright takedown notices for more than 5 million webpages and invested more than $ 60 million in the fight against ads appearing on bad sites. And we think there is more that can be done here—like targeted and focused steps to cut off the money supply to foreign pirate sites. If you cut off the money flow, you cut the incentive to steal.

Because we think there’s a good way forward that doesn’t cause collateral damage to the web, we’re joining Wikipedia, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Mozilla and other Internet companies in speaking out against SOPA and PIPA. And we’re asking you to sign a petition and join the millions who have already reached out to Congress through phone calls, letters and petitions asking them to rethink SOPA and PIPA.

Question by Zorro (WAR on Dog Section): Does anyone know why they dont adjust child support for inflation, or set adjustments based off gross income?
I find it interesting that every time there is a change that the custodial parent has to go back to court, and most don’t. I see that over time, the child support payments become way out of wack with the income, either one way or the other. I am curious as to why a automatic incremental/decremental system is not automatically built in, anyone know?
Des, thank you that is what I was looking for.

Question by .: how do people make money blogging even when we don’t click on ads?
I’m surprised because i don’t click on any ads. at least till now i’ve not clicked any ads. even my friends and coworkers also tell me the same thing. but most bloggers claim that they make really well money from blogging. I don’t get the maths here that even though let’s say out of 1000 page visit a day some 70-80 people click on ads then how do they make huge money?

Answer by Yohoapirateslife4me
It may suprise you to know that not everyone does the same thing as you and your friends/coworkers/toadies. Look outside your little private universe oh center of it. Advertising is big business for a reason.
