But, many don't have the patience to wait for organic traffic to kick in to make money. So if they want pay for ads, then it's a good way to go, although I do agree that organic traffic is better. The bottom line is, each blogger has to use the methods that suit him/her. The only way we all learn is through trial and error. The only thing I say to those who have tons of money to throw at a blog is, "I'm jealous!" Thanks for weighing in. Jack: You might be right about that.

If a blogger were to ask me what kind of advertising they should do with some money they've come into, I'd tell them 100% of the time to spend it on rent, groceries, investments or school. Being good at using paid marketing takes a lot of experience, trial and error. It also makes most people insufferably lazy. "Let the paid advertising drive all the traffic, I'm going to the mall!" It leads inexperienced business people (bloggers) to believe that their traffic problems can be solved with money alone. And they never can. Free, organic traffic is always better than paid traffic. Both for the blogger's discipline and bank account. The worst thing a blogger could have is money to advertise with.
