The ways it works, though, is if people who search a product that includes my work, find something I wrote in it (for example, someone searching for a candidate and finding an interview I did with them), that counts towards my royalties. So I just need to keep writing things that people might want to find. Sitemeter gives me a lot of feedback like that for how people find the blog using search engines, and I incorporate that into planning future blogposts. Mostly I write about things that interest me but it is even better if the things that interest me are things that other people want to find. There may not be a lot of overlap between those who read the blog via the internet and those who find individual blog posts via commercial products that Newstex markets to.<BR/><BR/>So, Austin, you can kick back and read here all you want; I am content and pleased that you might chose to do so. However, if you happen to find yourself in a library that subscribes to Lexis/Nexis and want to do a search on Above Average Jane or see if you can find any of my blog posts in there on candidates you know I have written about, I would not discourage you from doing so.<BR/><BR/>I really appreciated your comment.AboveAvgJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041855236200085575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238806.post-1168550383474142042007-01-11T16:19:00.000-05:002007-01-11T16:19:00.000-05:00Good for you Jane!

Tuck that cash away, you can use it for your Senate race. :-) Any way those of us who read here can drive that cash? ie: clicking through another site to get to you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238806.post-1168380850803347282007-01-09T17:14:00.000-05:002007-01-09T17:14:00.000-05:00Gort, it was a small check.

Newstex is always interested in adding blogs to the list. You, too, could be taking your family to Burger King with your blogging money!!AboveAvgJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041855236200085575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238806.post-1168315427026143652007-01-08T23:03:00.000-05:002007-01-08T23:03:00.000-05:00You made money from this!
