You see, I will not close the articles from your site, so I have left a few of them open. After a while Firefox punishes me by crashing. I now have them bookmarked, but it still kills me to close them.

Great stuff!

I’m not sure if it’s because it’s an old post, but you make no mention of your “sponsor ads” over to the right of each page?

I’d be interested to know which plugin you use to display these, and whether there’s any sort of tracking etc included with it?

I also like how you encourage newbies and tell them not to be turned off by a small check the first few months. Sharing your own experience in that regard really drives that point home.

I don’t have a blog yet but I have bookmarked this site so I can review it if I ever do.

Thanks again for sharing.

I’ve been considering jumping into the blog world for some time now and I must say, your insight is pure gold!!!!

My blog is in it’s third year, and that my have helped, but there were very large periods of dead time.

Anyway, they accepted me with a PR1, ho hum Technorati ranking (400k at the time), and Alexa had no clue I existed.

They’ve been very good to me, and I’ve made $60 my first month, and was able to pick articles that relate to my blog. I’m already being tossed an occasional $20 review opportunity. I’d recommend checking them out regardless of rankings. Like I said, I may have slipped through a crack, but it’s a crack my wallet is glad I slipped through. Maybe they have advanced access to the upcoming page ranks? Nah…
