The blogs listed below meet one qualifications: lots of details. The writers tell you how to do things and they share their results.
I remember my first days pouring over threads on WebmasterWorld and Sitepoint. It appeared that the entire business model of making money online was write content, exchange links, and get free traffic from Google.
Since then Google has evolved. Cash cow Adsense niches have turned downwards due to an enormous growth in available click inventory. While things may not be as “simple” as those days, there is no shortage of opportunities to be had online.

whats “click inventory”?
Good article – like you, I love the blogs that actually include case studies with real results.
- Martin Reed
Click inventory is the amount of “clicks” available to buy. Its a market just like real estate, stocks, or anything else. More websites running Adsense means there are more clicks to buy. When the buyers are largely made up of a group with a fixed budget, an increase of inventory results in a drop of average EPC.
In many markets, this isn’t the case as the number of online advertisers and money spent has increased substantially.
Thanks for doing the footwork once again. I find myself coming back to your blog again and again as a source for more places to go for information. I must say I am never disappointed.
Thanks for the inclusion Andrew, hopefully lots more ideas on the way
