Thanks for the link, Gordon. Amazing what a breath of real, honest facts can do to baloney “but we gotcha’ to read and spread it” articles.

Not surprising that the bloggers are competing well with the traditional press. Anyone who wants real insights into what’s going on is not going to get it from the traditional press.

Wonder what the range of earnings is for the other 252,000 that earn their primary source of income from blogging !?

“75% of bloggers are college graduates, 1% of bloggers make $200,000 or more per year.”

1% of 20 million is 200,000. So 200,000 bloggers make at least $200,000 a year. That is astounding.
