Fantastic earnings and I don't believe that it is impossible. I am sure he must be using email marketing and SEO to get traffic for his blog.
Been reading a few of his posts on there; he does manage to get his message across well. I wonder why he stays on Blogspot tho after soo much time? Is it to prove a point? Google don't seem to mind if it is or it isn't on a new domain, so I know it aint gonna make a huge difference with organic traffic. Just a small price to pay. I have run a few of my own domains on Blogspot for the past few months and have come to the conclusion that it aint such a bad idea to just buy a [.com] from GoDaddy for something like £8 a year and go from Blogger's own hosting. Apart from having to stick up a compact privacy policy, it's a small investment of money/time worth taking. The problem is that Blogger will always own a sub domain and can take it down at any such time, which would always be a worry. Anyway, he has done well for 5000+ views here. Good luck to the fella.
Nice and good income which I have never seen in short period of time. Good job you have done here. Congrats for this job !!
his two sites: 1. http:// makemoneyonlinegrizzly.com (started july 2008) 2. http:// makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com There are only three sites use that adsense in the world. So, there is one site left. makemoneyonlinegrizzly.com Alexa 76k, Approx 10k-12k PVs/day the second alexa 130k, Approx 5-6k PVs/day In total: approx 15k-18k PVs/day, Assume: eCPM = $5, $75-90/day So according these 2 sites, that revenue is impossible. Anyone can find his third site, the truth will come out.
Do he violate Google Adsense TOS in posting the screenshot of his Adsense report? I believe we can make money from Adsense but it requires a lot of work, time consuming. It's not easy.
Alexa? Haha please don't tell me people are going to start throwing out Alexa numbers to determine how much a site makes. That number means absolutely nothing! And anyone that actually knows what they are talking about will agree. You can find countless sites with awesome alexa rankings that don't make any money, or very little. And just as many sites with bad alexa rankings that make a ton of money. Any site in a niche that gets its traffic from people who don't have the alexa toolbar installed wouldn't have a good alexa ranking. And that's most sites! Sites that get most of their traffic from search engines won't usually have good Alexa rankings and those are typically the sites that do make money. Sites that get a lot of social traffic will normally have good Alexa rankings and those are the sites that usually aren't making any money. I have sites that hardly get any traffic and don't make me any money yet they have better Alexa rankings than other sites I own that get a lot of traffic and do make money. Don't judge sites by their Alexa ranking. That's worse than judging a book by its cover!
Maybe because blogspot belongs to Google? Maybe the advertisers are more easily gathered on a blogging platform than with a own site?
You guys are so full of it, that's why you guys don't make money online, who cares if you don't believe the guy or not? He doesn't have to proof anything to you or he? yet he is trying to help people by telling them exactly how he do it. Blackhat, whitehat, pinkhat who cares......and YES Griz should be making a lot of money cuz I have 6 months following his advice and I am making 4k a month thankz to griz. Why am I making this money? Cuz I stopped being lazy and took action and stopped wasting my time like you are doing right now. You don't beleive money is being made like this in adsense because you guys are bloggers and don't click ads, organic traffic in the other hand don't care if you making money or not as long as the ads show them what they want they will click it. So stop wasting your time on forums and social networks, you are stealing from yourself and your family, start building sites and learn SEO from griz and in 6 months from now you will see how stupid you was. You have the opportunity to finally start learning something and free but yet you want to make him sign you a contract that what he is saying is true. f.u then..
And have been wondering how one can possibly rank high for make money online. I don't know why but I couldn't visit all blogspot pages including this. It would help us if some hints were given.
He has alot of helpful and valuable information on there for free so I think everyone should be giving him a round of applause for his truly tremendous success. This guy knows what hes doing and is telling you how to replicate it. If you think its hoaxed/ scam whatever, thats up to you, but Id definitely reconsider my outlook if I was you because he has alot of helpful, sound advice on there
Bah.. There are so many fake adsense stat generators out there. It could be a fake and most people wouldn't even know it.
wow. wish i could make that much. of course, there will always be people who will have doubts but i bet there really are real people out there who earn this much. simply amazing
Grizz responded to this thread on his blog (latest entry) if anyone's curious. Apparently he had a bit over 1,000 visitors from this post which earned him an extra $12.
