Can Bloggers Make Money?

They certainly can, according to Jason Calacanis, who is interviewed for the WSJ. It all depends on the number of page views: "if you can do 500,000 pages a month -- which isn't easy -- you can make $1,500 to $5,000 a month."

I doubt that it is that simple, at least not for medical blogs, very few of them can achieve this level of traffic and in addition, people who visit medical blogs do not click on the ads much.
