Blog I Never Heard Of Makes $1400 a Month? I Have Hope!

Before I started doing this, I always thought that you had to be one of those hugely popular blogs (like TechCrunch) to make even decent money. I ran across this post from a blog called American Desi Notes discussing his earnings from Adsense and some strategies that worked for him (like using the 336x280 ad sizes).

So far, for ProductCritic, because we've just started, earnings are small but we've definitely had some success with Chitika (probably because the ads are so targeted to the content).

I think that the blog author has a great point in this quote:

Most new AdSense publishers are demoralized by the low clicks and low traffic that they recieve. The one thing that new publishers has a hard time doing is being patient. A web site will not get millions of hits over night.

So, for all you new bloggers, keep going! Keep writing great content and people like me will subscribe to your blog in our reader. I guarantee it. I'm only hoping people find this blog (and the main ProductCritic site) interesting and also subscribe.
