    I didn't know Neopets was that popular. Did you?

    There is many successful highscool teens out there and they pick someone who is making $1K/month?

    I mean all power to her, don't get me wrong $1K is great! But if they wanted a story, i'll send them to my friends who don't brag to the press about making a mere $1K a month.

    It's her dad mate. He owns a major company which is Net concepts. I'm sure he contacted his local news + cnn and all the other news companies. http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=link:www.neopetsfanatic.com&btnG=Search+Blogs

    TheDailyNeopets generates $10 - $20/day. Her ad placement isn't all that good and she's just using adsense.

    There are younger teenagers making more than her. In all honesty, she does not deserve to be in that news article. Instead, teens like Donny Ouyang, the owner of Kinkarso, should be on there. He makes a buttload more than her lame '$1,000.'

    I thinks it's ok to show off in news if you are making at least $10k a month, but $1k...hmm

    Ya, her dad taught her everything about SEO + promotion. I wonder if anyone can snatch up her ranking for "neopets" and make her money go bye bye.

    ROFL this is a one in a million chance type story, don't be taken. I own a website called the daily neopets which is in direct competition with her site (see google results for the keyword 'neopets'). I get about 10k-15k uniques a day or so and am not making near as much as she is. Yeah, the nice pays about $0.02 per click, so don't get too excited. It's actually a pretty bad niche to be in... :p

    Tipem, really ? Care to share how much you get then ? You have lot of pages. And with 10-15k visits a day even with 0.02 a click you should earn decent

    Yeah... my max ever was like 400 clicks at $0.02. Normally it's around 200 for me. You do the math. About $10 a day. It's a bad niche, trust me lol.

    Your site has so much potential, but really bad ad placement.

    It's not a bad niche. You need to optimize your ads. If the blogger can generate $30 - $40/day you can too. She has the ads link in her nav bar and ads in the content.
