The Marketing Technology Blog

There’s a lot of information out on the web regarding monetizing your blog. I’d like to actually do some analysis on it and come up with a “Monetization Calculator” that will provide insight into how much money bloggers can expect to make based on their rank, hits, and the source of the revenue.

If you’re currently putting advertising on your blog (ie. with Google Adsense, Microsoft adCenter, etc.), please fill in the following information. Blog-specific data will not be released, only aggregate data. I will do some spot-checking to verify the resources and will utilize some analysis methods to ‘trim’ the folks who are outside the norm.

I’m not verifying any form elements, so please fill it in right the first time! If I get enough data, I will most likely build out a website where you can calculate your expected earnings by hit range with each source of revenue.

If you would like to put this form on your website to help pull in data… here’s the form:
