1. 48 blogs make over $15,000 a month each and every month

2. 36 blogs make $10,000 to $15000 a month each and every month

3. 60 blogs make between $5000 and $10000 a month each and every month

4. 216 blogs make between $1000 and $5000 a month each and every month

5. 192 blogs make $500 to $900 a month each and every month

6. 108 blogs make $100-$500 a month each and every month

7. 516 blogs make less than $100 a month each and every month but more than $0 a month.

8. The rest of the 12 million blogs in the United States of America make $0 a month or are too inconsistent in monthly earnings

Here is how I came up with the numbers:

• 43% off all bloggers that voted on the Problogger.net web site make under $100 a month

• 9% make between $100 and $500 a month (big gap)

• 16% make between $500 and $900 a month

• 18% make between $1000 and $5000 a month (again big gap)

• 5% make between $5000 and $10000 a month

• 3% make $10,000 to $15000 a month

• 4% make over $15,000 a month

Now what does this tell us? First of all many people will brag or lie about their income so let us drop off the 4% of people that make over $15,000 a month as an outlier or margin of error or whatever (even though I am sure there are plenty of people that do this). Now lets say most of the 18% claiming $1000-$5000 make closer to the $1000 a month.

This tells us an incredible 86% of people make under $1200 a month

Since this poll was conducted on a blog that is largely for professional bloggers the poll is really more for this question:

How much do highly sophisticated or full time Bloggers earn a month?

And the answer would be 86% make under $1200 a month

99.999% of the 12 million blogs in the United States make a big fat $0.00. That would mean that only 12,000 blogs in the United States make income. Of that number only 10% probably apply to the Problogger poll. That’s 1,200 making significant income. Let’s use the above percentages and apply this number of blogs.

1. 48 blogs make over $15,000 a month each and every month

2. 36 blogs make $10,000 to $15000 a month each and every month

3. 60 blogs make between $5000 and $10000 a month each and every month

4. 216 blogs make between $1000 and $5000 a month each and every month

5. 192 blogs make $500 to $900 a month each and every month

6. 108 blogs make $100-$500 a month each and every month

7. 516 blogs make less than $100 a month each and every month but more than $0 a month.

8. The rest of the 12 million blogs in the United States of America make $0 a month or are too inconsistent in monthly earnings

There are many different Wordpress Plugins to choose from but here are my top 9 Wordpress Plugins:

1. The Google Site Maps Plugin – creates a Google site map .xml file for your blog that is recreated with every post and sends a ping to Google

2. Dagon User Site map Plugin – a user friendly site map file that helps your users find what they are looking for

3. The All in One Search Engine Optimization Pack – Wordpress plugin that lets you make titles and descriptions and keywords for your posts

4. Related Info Plugin – list related posts under content and increases the user experience

5. Adsense Manager – if you have no idea what your are doing with Google adsense this plugin is a great start

6. Gregarious – places a nice digg button and links to other social networks on your blog

7. Google Analyticator – plugin lets you use Google Analytics which is the absolute best one available for web stats

8. Popularity Contest – plugin displays the most popular posts on your blog based on your settings

9. WP Comment Spam Stopper – now I know many people swear by Akismet for stopping spam but i don’t like it. I do like this one.

So Digg users it really isn’t Wordpress that sucks, it is people that don’t have enough bandwidth ($10 or more a month) hosting accounts or have not bothered to install the Word Press Cache Plugin.

Now can this site take 30,000 people in one hour? I think so. Let’s give it a try….
