Congrats on moving up on the list Zac. I think in no time, you will be in the top 10. Keep up the hard work!

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I will be at Affiliate Summit… haven’t missed one yet! Probably not speaking this time, (still blogging the event though) but will still see you all there.

wow, thanks for the cool writeup of the top100

i have a script that ranks the sites, there is no way i would do over 250 sites every week by hand.

yeah it’s fun. doesn’t mean much in the big picture but fun to watch how your blogs bounce up and down relative to the other ones.

fyi for the affiliate summit contest attempts. you can also apply for a press pass if you have a blog to get access and they also have a “video contest” if you look around.

Thanks again for the mention and hope to see you all at the affliate summit

(btw zac, did you apply for a press pass if you are going to blog the summit? if you are going?)

No doubt about that… if I ran a few of those stupid link trains I would easily be in the Top 15.. if not Top 10. I’m more concerned about my quality posts and what the “ZacJohnson.com” brand means, more than an increase in some irrelevant numbers. Time will tell and sort out the rest from the best anyway, I’m not concerned.

Zac - the rating system is floored. There are some total noobs up there who crapped their way to the top on the back of linkbomb campaigns, linktrains and fake Alexa stats.

You’d seriously be alot higher if it wasn’t for them jerks. Keep up the great work!

Hi Zac,

I was wondering how you do keyword research. Specifically, how you gauge whether a certain niche has DEMAND. I believe this is the 1st step to any successful campaign, but I’m not quite sure what the most effective way to do it is.

That definitely would be a nice addition, but I don’t think it would be possible as their would be people lying on their stats, people that don’t want to disclose their stats and no official way to actually pull legitimate data.

Congrats.

But I think blog income per month should also be a parameter for the Top 100 Money Making Blog.

Please remind me where I need to send the bribe to win the ticket this month! I NEED to go…my future depends on it and you, Zac, are the one holding the axe over my head! lol jk ;). Well not kidding about wanting to go (REAL BAD) but about the guilt trip thing heheh.

As for the list, I am not surprised at all. I can’t remember how I found your blog but, and being completely honest here, it is my favorite “make money online” blog out there. I have a bookmark folder in my toolbar with all the various “marketing/business” blogs that are well known and worth reading. Guess who is the absolute top on my list…yep Zac. Even above the shoe, chow and darrens out there.

Don’t get me wrong, they all provide great content and can offer anyone in this industry something but the way you write and how open and honest and generous you are, Zac, well it really makes a difference. Shoe showed us how he did ppc with ringtones but you broke it down to a step-by-step without trying to hide anything.

If you keep that up and be as generous and open as you have been I am pretty damn sure you will keep moving up the list for everyone as well as continue to make more yourself.

In short, thanks!
