It's the other side of what I talked about and it certainly is a possibility as well. In fact, there are many paid-to-view options available for other content and ads than blogs. Paid-to-click, in a way, is much the same thing though there's not guarantee that there will be genuine readers.@Barbara, I know you and you walk your talk :) you certainly will be last person to even think about making your readers pay for the content...And your voting is along what I thought... @Rajiv, hey, you brought in another point here… offering money to read the blog!

@Barbara, I know you and you walk your talk :) you certainly will be last person to even think about making your readers pay for the content…

And your voting is along what I thought…

The next stage of evolution in blogs I guess. These days anything can and in fact does happen for the sake of money so I am not surprised. I personally would not since I know better and easier ways to make money, but I cannot say I will find fault with others who do it. I know how important money is these days and if people want to make money reading blogs then so be it. I would however not offer money to people to visit or read my blog... Hmmm.

Moreover, I may not even think of making the readers pay@axioblogger, I did not quite follow your point. Are you talking about how to hack a Pay-Per-Read blog?@Nagraj, I share your feelings as even I would not think of paying and reading some blog. At the same time, as you said those prolific, rich and famous bloggers may get some readers for their special content. In other words, if at all the situation arises, this concept will make the rich richer - though at the expense of loosing some readership! @Rajaie, nor would I pay to read a blog.
