Making money with blogs is a possibility if you know how to do it right. This doesn't mean you have to be selling anything, but at least providing useful information that leads people to products/services that they could utilize.
Blogging is a very popular thing currently and with the amount of people utilizing it there is the opportunity to make money. If you get involved in the right market and are able to get yourself seen by the search engines the opportunity is there.
Many people stick with blogs over websites, but do not expect to make millions in a few weeks. You need to be realistic with your ideas and what you expect.
If your question is if writers make money blogging on sites, of course they do. These are people who are normally hired to promote products and services of others.
There is really no difference between those contributing in blogs (in the above sense) and those who promote products through Ezines, article writng and forum posting. In fact, this is an area in which both the writer and the person on whose behalf they do the writing benefit quite well.
I actually advise using this method as a means to promote websites. There are millions of people seeking information and this is one way of availing that information.
To make money from your blog, the key to success is to use quality content, optimize your blog and market it. There are no short cuts. The ads displayed on the blogs or affiliate links will definitely be clicked where the volume of traffic to the blog is reasonable and targeted.

I think its true that writing can create money.And you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time on it..
I've seen personality-centered blogs that didn't start out to make money but end up doing so because of the topic they discuss----fashion is a great example. Adult blogs that link to proper pay sites also seem to work, though it means establishing an affiliate program with owners of adult sites. But yeah, there's money in blogging, and I'm looking into it myself :)
