it could be that the topic you blog on doesn't pay well per click. i blog on finance and investing which pays between $0.50-$5 per click. so even though i get nowhere near the amount of traffic you do, i still make coffee money.

You could double the amount you're earning from Google by modifying the text and background colours to match your site. You may feel that's too much of a compromise with the editorial content. My theory is that most people clicking on my ads come out of the long tail of search–they're hit and run visitors. As such, I'm not so concerned with their experience as my regular readers.

It is a great question, Mark. I've finally just started getting some advertising dollars, though I don't get nearly the traffic you receive. Still $100 a month is a $100 a month. Wouldn't quit my job to do this — or would I?

Great feedback Mark. We're working on the reporting issues you mention.
Philosophically we're on the same page. I think a sea-change is in the offing in the online advertising world. Blogs are now accepted mainstream “online publications” and the advertising world is going to start seeing this … soon.
