Setting up the blog and writing content is not enough to make money. "Content is king" is absolutely right but even king is ordinary person without power aka money.
Having setup this blog yesterday, i had not even a single user except me for it. Good Content alone will not be able to ring your cash registers. Content is king but with traffic.
Traffic: Understand one basic thing, traffic is not something which will start coming automatically. One has to drive traffic towards your site/blog. Site/Blog without traffic is like a highway which unlesss known to commuters will not be used at all.
So how does one drives traffic. There are hundreds of web sites/blogs for making money online, which describes 100+ ways of driving traffic.
We are not going to discuss those 100's of ways here. We focus on finding out which of those 100's of methods are actually useful, and then in actual implementation of those methods.

Technique#1: Comments: No Follow Tags: Disabled
This technique describes the way links to your site can be created to jumpstart your ranking.
To understand this technique, one would need to understand how technorati rankings work and what No Follow Tags does.
You need to search for web sites/blogs which have the No Follow Tag disabled. Leaving a comment on these sites would give an actual link pointing to your site.
This would increase the number of external sites linking to your site, hence increasing your ranking.
(Most blogs and web sites have No Follow tags inserted (rel = nofollow) for links provided in the comments to prevent spam. Google and other search engines on seeing the nofollow attribute give no credit to site pointed by link in their search engine ratings)
Techniques: About
Techniques section would provide list of all known techniques to jumpstart the ranking of your site and to drive traffic to your site (website or blog).
I would be discussing each technique in details in seperate posts and implement it for my own blog (only legal ones) and discuss the results.
