I also checked what my future pagerank will be and it's predicted a (4.6) and would be rounded up to a PR 5.

Hanging out in the "blogosphere" with the "link trains" and 'favor my blog" gimmicks and such is a great ay to waste time, but it does nothing to bring eyeballs attached to credit cards to a web site … a blog is just a format for a web site, folks, it's nothing new.

Millions of people have diseases like diabetes, diseases cost money to treat/control, and drug and medical supply companies have money to spend on adverting. Park Davis and other drug companies probably don't know what an RSS feed is an could care less.

I'd love the idea of cases studies of real money making blogs/sites.

interesting lol

wow it is ppl like you who keeps us newbie motivated.

Lets roll out the blog study.

I think most of my traffic I get are people searching for specific products and when they dont see they can buy them on my blog they clicks ads and make me my change. Although I’m not writing for the clicks necessarily. My wife and I write these articles only after hours of reading and researching what we’re writing. I have type2 diabetes and we’re trying to learn as much as we can as I feel different symptoms. We’ve learned alot just by reading other great diabetes blogs.

I decided to monetize my diabetes blog after I started receiving somewhere around 1000 page views a day. I threw up the ol adsense code on the sidebar and that’s it. After a few weeks I made a custom channel and saw that I was receiving a few dozen clicks a day and making like $20/day.

Figuring that the diabetes clicks were worth more than the plain ol blog and PSA ads on my personal site, I made them stick out a bit more and gave them their own custom channel. I’ve played around with a few different positions and sizes and seem to do best with the current one. Also I added TLA and AutionAds recently. With some increase in traffic from natural search engine listings, that pushed me over the $100/day a few months back.

I’m glad we’re doing it cause my wife stay home with our son and she’s able to read and blog on a few sites of our’s while being able to stay home and raise our son.
Me? I still work a 9-5 but I’m hoping with this and our other sites I can push us over $300/day and I can stay home full-time and work our own sites.
Not too far off now but it’s a scarey jump.

Maybe Zac has some advice for us when to leave a job and go at it on your own?

Congrats on your success

If you can make money and stay at home, good for you. If it lower your stress level even better. It's better for your glucose anyway
