How did you miss JohnChow.com, who just reported making over $30,000 for the month of March, and problogger.net who makes well into five figures a month? I bet this blog does pretty well, too! :)

Why would anyone want to write about JC anymore anyway. LOL. I reckon non meta blogging blogs make way more money than those in it.
It is a small industry compared to others. Although I never understand why I can has cheezburger is so fab. I must be the only person who doesn’t read this blog.

Boingboing.net is one of my favourite blogs. It doesn’t surprise me that their income is over a million dollars per year.
