This month is turning out to be more profitable then the last one after the email problem was fixed, 8 days into the month and I’ve already sold 3 125×125 ads (on the right), that leaves only 2 spots (125×125), which are occupied by my affiliate banners at the moment (which aren’t performing that great at the moment, for some reason). Other then that I’m extremely happy that I’ve hit the 500 subscriber mark, the next post about my subscribers will be when i hit 1000 subscribers and when I hit 1000 subscribers there will be even more freebies along with the announcement post.
Let’s talk a little about blog monetization now, a few days ago I posted an article on how Lisa announced her new monetization scheme, that made me think, If i can’t achieve my blog’s full earning potential then this won’t be much of a blog offering good tips on how to make money blogging, now would it? So, I went to LinkXL (full review coming up soon) and completed any steps left then made sure that buyers would be able to buy links at this blog. I know this is a red flag at google, but frankly PR doesn’t mean much to me anymore after google teased me for sitelinks and not just that, i was left out on this pagerank update as well, yep, I’m still a PR4 here, after so much linkbuilding and work, all i got out of it was stronger serps but not a higher pagerank. I’d rather get a stronger technorati rank to earn more money. 
My current technorati rank : 17,636 and Authority : 337 with 708 reactions. If you’re interested in supporting this blog then fave it on techno.

Anyway, I think Lisa has done it big time viral with her backend advertising tactic after offering an ad spot on her lower back (way lower back) for a mere $100k, personally, I think models can get more for such advertising, body advertisements aren’t new to the media but this is more like Blog monetization that’s why it’s a new one even for long time bloggers such as John chow. Since there aren’t many attractive bloggers, I’m supporting Lisa and her cause here!
Either way, monetization tactics are always evolving so much that its hard to keep up sometimes.So, kudos to Lisa and let’s hope Kevin doesn’t get that spot for digg, that wouldn’t be much of a turn on having DIGG written at that certain place. (pun intended, again :p)
Well, I must be doing something right, I was ranked as the 5th top blogger under 21 at retire at 21.
All the hard work done by the following bloggers is a must-read, they aren’t on the top blogger’s list for nothing ya know, the blogs over at 45n5 are ranked by how much money they make solely but this list is made by the overall skills of a blog and it’s blogger. The blogs are ranked on several things such as content, readers, comments, authority, pagerank, techno rank, alexa rank and most importantly THEIR AGE.
The younger you are when you achieve success or recognition, the better!
And theres more, I’m ranking no.3 for blogging tips now as well 
The list is below, are you in it?
