I agree with you, a big part of a good blog post is its content, but the package is also important for how you consume it. Hi Milan!

I agree with you, a big part of a good blog post is its content, but the package is also important for how you consume it.

But is it that only the post content is important..? I mean, Designing, structuring and layout are also equally important in making of a good blog post.. Making a blog is quite simple but customising it, is what makes sense..Also writing of a content is also as easy as anything..but writing it in a proper way, with proper images, and also the content should not be that big..Only the required points and useful content is what makes the good post..

Usually the top 2-3 ads on the page are the best paying but which one is actually 'top' depends on how the page is built. Pay-per-action or pay-per-lead ads require a little more than just a click to pay out. Some require just a zip code or email submit for the pay out to happen. These are generally in the $1.50 range. I use the zip submit ads from time to time since they don't require the user to give any personal info before bailing out but as long as the zip is entered I get paid. Other leads pay more but require more personal info to be entered before paying out. These may pay out up to $25 depending on the offer. Pay-per-sale ads require the person buy something. These usually pay out the best, even $100+ in some cases. Since they depend on somebody making a purchase, they don't pay out as often although they can easily be the biggest money maker on a site. You also have per time period ad space sales that are sold for a fixed amount of time for a fixed price. Clicking on them does help the site owner sell the space to customers but the click and any other following actions don't pay them anything else.
