John Chow of John Chow Dot Com has a great site devoted to, of all things, blogging (and great tips on how to profit from it).
According to his February Income Post, he made $7,000 from this blog!!!
Considering that it only made $352 last September, thats pretty phenomenal. Unlike most bloggers, he doesn't rely on just one source of ad revenue but nine. Here they are in order of income earned:
ReviewMe: $2,250.00
Text Links Ads: $1,162.50
Affiliate Sales: $1,005.00
Google AdSense: $977.60
Vibrant IntelliTXT: $516.98
Direct Ad Sales: $400.00
AdVolcano: $375.00
TTZ Media: $224.17
FeedBurner Ads: $99.80
Just goes to show that with proper marketing and excellent content you can make a decent living from blogging.
He spent about $400 advertising with google ad on Darren Rowse's Problogger Site. Its an interesting strategy where they both advertise on each other's site.
Hopefully, someday I can match that income! Check out his post on Making money from a blog post.
Hopefully, this post will have earned me a free linkback and some traffic too.

I saw your John Chow review (I'm an avid reader too) and am borrowing his idea.
Since my site isn't as popular as John's (yet), instead of a link I'm actually offering an 80GB iPod Video in a back-linking raffle. You don't even need to write a review. If you're interested take a look!
