ProBlogger Turns One-Year-Old Today
September 22, 2005
Darren says, at the end of this post that ProBlogger is the one site of his that he is the “most proud of”. As well, he should be! With so many people trying to make money with blogging, Darren is the “go to” site for information on making money from blogging. In celebration of this one year mark, he listed the “20 Most Popular” posts from the last year. It’s also interesting to note that he is “one subscriber” away from 1000 readers on FeedBurner.
In his list, I found a gem that I had somehow forgotten about. “How the Most Highly Visited Blogs Earn Money” points out that only 8 of the “top 20″ blogs use AdSense. BlogsAds seems to be the most popular, followed by donation buttons and Amazon links, and then AdBrite text ads.
It could be that because these are highly visited blogs, the rates that they can charge for BlogAds out-perfoms what AdSense could do, but it is an interesting look at how money is being made. I should also point out that Darren, himself isn’t using BlogAds on the ProBlogger site, as far as I can tell.
