Stowe Boyd says that "the top 20,000 blogs or so (today) can make serious bank, enough to be, as Fleishman puts it, a "significant minority" of the author's income." Technorati says that my blog is ranked around 30,572. I suppose that if I worked at it -- blogged every day, added comments, used a real blogging tool instead of my homegrown system, etc. -- I could crack the top 20,000 quite easily. Then I could replace one of the columns in my layout with Google Ads and I could make some money off these scribblings. But do I want to? I'm not sure...
