BusinessWeek published an article this week about top money making bloggers.

Here’s a quick overview of the sites and their estimated income. Some sites provided the income figures to BusinessWeek while other sites didn’t so the reporter had to guesstimate the earnings himself, therefore I have some doubts on how accurate this list is:

BoingBoing: over $1 million a year

icanhascheezburger.com: $5,600 a month based on ad rates and traffic data

ShoeMoney.com: $12,000 a month

OverHeardInNewYork.com: $8,100 a month based on ad rates and traffic data

Kottke.org: $5,300 a month based on ad rates

TalkingPointsMemo: $45,000 a month based on ad rates and traffic data

PerezHilton.com: $111,000 a month based on ad rates and traffic data

Gothamist.com (and 13 other sites): $250,000 a month

TechCrunch: $200,000 a month

Go Fug Yourself: $6,240 a month based on ad rates and traffic data

Mashable: $166,000 a month based on ad rates and traffic data

ProBlogger: over $100,000 a year

Michelle Malkin and Hot Air: revenue N/A

Of these 13 blogs there are only 4 that I visit at least once a month: ProBlogger, ShoeMoney, Tech Crunch and BoingBoing. Some of the other blogs I’ve already visited once but I’ve never heard about some of the other ones like Michelle Malkin and Gothamist.

Perhaps they should have also included John Chow. His blog is very popular and last month he made $12,569.61 with it.
