Is no-one blogging for the love of it anymore? It seems that everyone’s just out for a quick buck.

I would like to see a list of the websites that are claiming to make the most money. Without that your poll means nothing.

I still can’t believe it even I ave been reading about many times and everywhee that people earning that much from adsense like thousands..ohh!
I earn not more than a hundred a month..

I woner How many visitors everymonth of those who earn thousands?

Is there any particular stat visitors and stimated earning per month?

my http://www.herfactor.com has a 700- a thousand visit a day and earn only few dollars a day. I think that is still bad or better than nothing..:D

Yes, it would be interesting to see 2-dimensional plots, e.g.,
earnings vs hours spent on blogging (or numbers of blogs or some other measure of work involved). No problem with graphics, but gathering data may be more tricky.

I would be interested in seeing these results along with the length of time these people have been blogging and how many blogs they run. I would also like to see how much time they spend per week on their blogs.

Very interesting study, although I agree with some of the posters above that the over $15,000 category seems to have a lot of people in it.

Keep up the good work!

Veddy interesting. I’d like to see a poll measuring length of time one has been blogging to overall earnings.

gizo – as I wrote in the post – there was a $0 category (it got 38% of the vote) but I didn\’t include it in the graphs because I didn\’t know how many of them were trying to earn money from their blogs…. (see 4th and 5th paragraphs of my post above…)

napolean – I\’m sorry you\’re not enjoying reading ProBlogger. I guess you\’ve found the secret to making lots of money from blogging – not reading ProBlogger! Congratulations. Sad to see you move on but if its working for you then so be it.

darren – i agree with you. however, there is only a ‘less than $10′ category, which includes $0. which is why i said 0-10… anywho… nice pie..

Darren,

Thanks for running this recurring poll – it is very cool to see the breakout. Like most everyone, I first say “how many people are in _my_ group”, then “how many people are in the next group up?” and find inspiration.

Based on the comments above, I think it might be really interesting if you polled on growth rate. “Did your adsense earnings go up or down in May relative to April?” Then provide some percentage brackets for growth up and down. If you have the ability to connect two answers, it would be really interesting to see if the average growth rate increases (long tail effect) or decreases (diminishing returns) as the absolute value of the earnings increases. Other than Steve Pavlina’s post – I haven’t seen any data published that shows growth rate and absolute levels together.

Thanks again for problogger!

The moment I minimized reading problogger and other blogging tips my earnings increased dramatically.

Content is King and all else will follow. And by spending more time on writing than reading repetitive crap my site’s value increased.

How about a poll on ratio and proportion on lenght of problogger tip reading and reaching the 6 figure blogging aim?

I wonder how many visitors you need to have on average to get $500 and above?

gizo – I’m not sure why anyone who earned between 0 and $10 wouldn’t be trying – I’m assuming if you’re earning something you’d be trying otherwise you wouldn’t put ads or aff programs on your blogs…

The $0 category on the other hand could contain both those who are and are not trying…

it would also be interesting to see what percentage of those under $10 were actually trying to make money…

Interesting, a lot more people making over 10,000 dollars than I thought.

Hmmm, then i would be put in the 145-150 bloggers who make 30-99. It’s interesting to see that more bloggers voted 100-499 than to the category i belong into. Maybe it takes short time for those who already earn 30-99 to reach the next mark? =P =)

Let’s hope so,

I like the pie chart, but it is a little hard to tell what colors are what…maybe brighter colors would help? Or..it could be my crusty old monitor…
