Since this an introductory article, let us discuss how one is able to make money online by maintaining a blog.

When the blog talks about specific things like power saws, the blog's write up may not mention links to sites selling power tools but in other sections of the web page, usually on the margins of the page, are links that takes a reader to sites selling power saws.

Owners make money online either on a pay per click or on a pay per impression basis.
