Wow. I read tons of blogs. Too many to count. Cigar blogs, Technology blogs, Political blogs, Science blogs... It seems like anytime I am looking for some sort of specialized info, Google brings me to a blog.

I would say that with today's more powerful blogging software, many of the blogs don't really look like blogs. Also, adding an E-Commerce plug-in is extremely cheap and easy. Plus you can get advertising revenue.

As for TripleF's point, I think that depends on one thing. Traffic. Blogs with a lot of traffic can generate very good sales and revenue. But it is hard to continue to increase traffic. I think every bloggers hope is to generate enough revenue to pay for the hosting and registry costs, but very few do.

And the blog I run for my business pulls in decent keyword traffic. Then refers to the main website.
