I think Search Engine Traffic is what makes the money, other users will not click on your ads and most of the returning users will be ignored for multi clicks, so if you get can a decent amount of traffic from Google then you are set for money making..MSN is good too..

Staying on topic is very important. I try to do that with my “Business Development / Marketing Blog”….and I now have some regular readers (dozens….sadly, not hundreds).

But as I ended up getting the most of my traffic from reality television topics I realized that the two audiences really were just getting in each other’s way. So I moved the Shakespeare stuff over to its own blog and the hit rates on adsense have been much better ever since.

The only real trick to it is deciding how much to break it down. For instance if like to talk about mostly reality tv, and some traditional tv, do I address one TV audience, two, or maybe even one for each show? That’s just a matter of watching the traffic that each topic gets, and deciding if you’ve got enough to write about each one that merits its own site, in my book. Thus far the Shakespeare’s all I’ve moved over to its own topic, and everything else stays in the catchall of my personal blog.
