His regular bloggers are demanding his response and he has yet to provide one. And speculation now is that he may have used that stolen money to create his blogsite. Too bad, he could've used the money he earned from his blog to pay back all his victims.

The difference is amazing and it's proving to be very profitable for me.

That's it? :) Seriously though, blogging pays my server bills and still leaves some extra, but for the amount of time it takes it isn't quite rewarding enough! $1,000 a year? That’s it? :)

From what I've read, the revenue potential is NOT worth the user alienation. I'm wholly dissapointed in AdSense for blogger revenue...

I'm going to continue doing this with other adblock units and place them above the fold to see if I can get the same effect as my other test. yeah I did opt to do it and noticed my income almost triple over night (it was fast!) and I’m quite happy now.
