This morning I came across a reference to Caroline Middlebrook’s “Stats & Analysis for October ‘07″ blog post on Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger.net.

In the post, Caroline shows in great detail her blog traffic stats, new RSS subscribers, a breakdown of how she spent her time online during the month and her final earnings for the month.

After reading through her stats and thinking “Wow! Those are awesome results for a 2-month old blog”, I was absolutely shocked to learn that after working 235 hours and getting 11,000 visitors to her site (without PPC) during October, only 259 folks signed up for her feed and despite all that effort, she didn’t earn one red cent.

Although I was very appreciative of Rosalind's advice, she didn't quite understand my intentions. I had not intended to make money with my blog which is what she implies in her post. I have been trying to make money in various niche markets and failing at those. The blog is merely there to tell the story.

I did leave a comment to this effect on Rosalinds post but it was deleted!

However, seeing as the blog is getting more traffic now, it seems like my best chance of actualyl making some revenue in the short time would be to monetize the blog which is somewhat ironic!
