Stuart from EarnersBlog done a brief experiment “How many of the Top Make Money Online Blogs actually show you how to Make Money” using the list Top 100 Make Money Online Blogs at 45n5. Based on his resulting experiment report, most of the top money making blogs provide lesser percentage of money making posts using last 20 posts as sample data. He emailed me asking for some comments.
Personally i find his re-ranking experiment based on last 20 posts of the top 30 money making blogs is interesting. However, i feel that the experiment criteria is not enough to justify the result. Criteria such as timeframe and frequency of posts should be in the criteria. One important unmeasurable criteria is quality of post made by those top money making blogs. Some of them although with lesser post frequency but provide very good informative insights or exclusively interesting experiment experience. Even opinions of the top bloggers regarding recent industry issues sometimes are very enlightening. Quality of post is real hard to measure. Maybe quality of a post can be measure by inbound links to the post?
Well.. this is just a brief experiment done for fun 
Nice job Stuart!

With the drastic PR changes brought by Google this top 100 list needs to be revised.

I noticed there has been some big changes since the last PR update. Unlukily my pr only went up to a 2, so I only gained about 8 spots.

In my opinion it is 100% true that all of the A-Listers, not including Darren Rowse of ProBlogger, are posting less and less about actually making money. I’ve found better advices and opinions on smaller blogs. Take for example, John Chow. It’s been really awhile since he posted something of quality related to making money online. Most A Listers nowadays either post news, rants or quick speedlinking posts. I think the only exception in this list is Darren…

Yeah. i find that JohnChow’s blog has more and more advertisment kind of posts.

I think sites that are about making money, should have posts on how to make money often. Just like a site that is about cars should have content about cars.
For sure, a no brainer.

Some of these blogs on the list have since fallen off.

I think Google PR is over rated and to a certain extend, flaw. But well, the market seem to look at this ranking seriously, and I probably got to live with it.
