What is Wikileaks? Have you ever imagined yourself having a blog as popular as WIkileaks, but for the right reason I mean. Read the story and maybe all of us can get some insights on how to make a blog like this notorious Whistle Blowing site.

Wikileaks is a self-described “not-for-profit press organization,” launched in 2006 with the purposes of disseminating original documents from confidential sources and leakers. Their website says: “Wikileaks will accept restricted or censored content of political, honourable, diplomatic or historical significance. We do not accept rumor, opinion, other varieties of first hand accounts or maybe material that is freely available elsewhere.”

More-detailed details about the history of the group can be found on Wikipedia ( with all the caveats that apply to the rapidly changing Wiki theme). Wikipedia incidentally has nothing regarding Wikileaks-both share the word “Wiki” in the title, but they are certainly not affiliated.

It’s all in the crystal ball. You will going to make money blogging, no doubt about it!

You have what you think a killer domain name at your disposal. And the best thing is, you know you are going to love this niche, maybe not passionate but you don’t mind learning more about it so that you won’t run out of ideas for your blog. Therefore, the little gungho newbie started doing everything listed in HowToBlog.org…getting a great web host; installing WordPress…. If you happen to be new to this blog, feel free to download my free eguide I created about 6 months ago for reference. Don’t expect perfect grammar ok

After 4 months, with a new post for at least every week, surprisingly you still find your visitors to hover around 10 to 15 a day. Oh oh… Ok let’s  go through a checklist of all things possible.

1. Your Domain Name

There are two possibilities here:

a. You have gotten yourself into a very competitive niche. Check the keyword. If it is “Mesothelioma” for example, you can see that the cpc in Google Adwords for this niche is around USD 200. Impressive but only God and Google will know how long you would have to slog before you see yourself in the first 20 pages of any search engine. Too much competition is bad for your staying power and mental health if your main intention is purely to make money blogging.

How to make a blog that beats Wikipedia? Try typing these keywords in Google: emphysema, acai berry and Siberian Husky. Now, look which site is placed 1st in Google search for these keywords? If you get it right, you would be see that cursed Wikipedia everywhere for all these.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I was a fan of this free online encyclopedia and I thought that they were doing a noble job by providing free information to the mass. However, once I started building my money making blogs, I begin to see thru its ploy. I believe Wikipedia is a long-term conspiracy waiting to siphon off all our potential earnings by dominating all the valuable niches in the market.

Let’s face it, how do you defeat a Page Rank 9 behemoth which has thousands of too-eager wide eye PhDs waiting to contribute their latest findings into the very niches we have sleepless nights hunting for? Even the great Google had tried miserably to defeat Wikipedia by launching Google Knol in 2008. And I beg you, as fellow bloggers, think twice before you contribute an article to any of them! Stop other fools from doing this if you can!

Anyway, instead of admitting defeat, I would like to speculate on some strategies we may be able to use to defeat Wikipedia:

Remember the first time you build your first Google Adsense blog. The definition of a Google Adsense blog is one of those money making blogs which derives its main revenue from adsense clicks.

Most of us envisioned raking in lorry loads of money per month by building money making blogs merely with incorporating Google Adsense into the main page, the post and money will come racing in . Sadly, hard reality sets in when they see their Adsense accounts displaying 5 cents and the most 20 cents per click. Nothing to shout about the click thru rate; only 1 %. This is the stage where the new blogger comes to term with the harsh reality of trying to make money from blogging. Duration in reaching this stage: at least 6 treacherous months.

Remember on my last post when I told you that “When all else failed, you would still have your Google Adsense account to fall back back on…”

It always amaze me how bloggers could get their Google Adsense account banned. I read these kinds of post all the time and yes it leaves me scratching my own head. It’s not hard to follow the Google Adsense Terms of Service.
