Making Money with Blog -Example Digital Inspiration by Amit Agrawal an Indian blogger
Here are the excerpts from his Blog
Recently, a lot of people have asked me about how much I earn from this blog and what kind of traffic do I get. The frequency of such questions increased exponentially following the ban of Indian blogs, which in a way, helped in raising blog awareness in India.
Maybe, their interest in my web income and site stats stems from the fact that I quit my regular day job with a software company to become a full time blogger.
Before I discuss my figures and stats, let me share an interesting related story published today on Washington Post [mirror] that talks about a few websites making a fortune with Adsense:
? Andrew Leyden of PodcastDirectory.com receives nearly a million hits and makes around $30,000 to $40,000.
? Freeweblayouts.net owners make $100,000 a month from a site that provides readymade web design templates for MySpace.com
? SeatGuru sites gets 700,000 visitors a month and makes about $10,000 to $20,000 a month from Adsense alone.
OK, back to my numbers. I am not very comfortable revealing the exact earnings data in public but still I will try to share whatever possible:
? Digital Inspiration blog gets around 1.25 million hits per month with a majority originating from Google followed by direct traffic (like bookmarks, rss feeds, etc)
? The maximum site traffic comes from four countries - US, India, UK and Australia (in the same order)
? A majority of monthly income is from Adsense but I do make some extra money from Chitika, Feedburner Ads, Direct Advertising and Blog Consulting [via paypal].
? Firefox referrals have also been a good source of revenue though I did not have much success with Picasa software. I never tried Adsense or Adwords referrals.
? While it may be tough for me to write down the actual Adsense earnings data here, you can make some good guesses from the WashingtonPost story mentioned above.
? Alexa Traffic Rank for this blog is 7,637.
? Google Blogger Team added Digital Inspiration to Blogs of Note on July 25, 2006.
? Technorati, which tracks 50 million blogs, rank this site at number 936 while the BlogPulse Rank is 233. Also, ~4500 users have subscribed to the XML Feeds [Feedburner+Atom].

Very nice example, I took own a website for MySpace based graphics and layouts and am hoping to soon be making a good enough amount of money off it. Any recommendations?
