I'm glad that Paul is making some cash from his blog, but $1600 a month is peanuts for a 3 year old site. A blog 1/10 as popular in a lucrative niche with some decent search traffic would make 10x as much.
Yeah I agree. I never tried to whore my site out with ads either though, so I can't really say I tried to make much money off of it. Now that I might be more reliant on it, that might change.
