Yes, traffic and adsense! That's the bottom line. What I had to realize is that a topical story or a breaking story will get linked to from around the world. The traffic can last for a few hours to several months! In my case Time Magazine linked to one of my blogs. Other news services and big mags do too. It's only because I cover certain science, legal, mainstream subjects and my writing skills are good. Actually my writing skills are quite awesome and you can read a forward to one of my comic book series by one of the top writers ever in comics who states so.

So I got a double goody whammy of being a good writer and covering things in an interesting and timely fashion.
