    Yes, you've heard right. Michael Arrington earns $250,000 a month. I don't know how much of that is from Adsense as it is the site's overall earnings. But its still a cool million every 4 months. :eek::eek:

    You mean to say the Techcrunch Guy ?? Just read his "about him" page. He seems to have been playing with millions for quite a while now :) ..

    Never heard of the guy personally. But certainly would mind earning what he does.

    Good for him, if he is making that much from a blog then he deserves it, I just wish that my blogs would get as much traffic as his.

    His blog actually doesn't get THAT much traffic (50-100K/day). It's not the traffic that's bringing him the $$$, it's the sidebar ads that he sells through the site, as well as his conferences all over the country. His site is considered THE SOURCE for web 2.0 news, thus the high earnings.

    Its an excellent tech blog but its nothing special either. Personally, I prefer to read other tech blogs which are more exciting than Tech Crunch. However, where I think Tech Crunch has an advantage is the it has developed the "authority" status, maybe even by luck.
