Summary: A Superb Book for Bloggers
Comment: I've long been a fan of Darren Rowse's [...] website. Darren (and his guest posters - one of his tips!) keeps it very interesting, valuable, and useful for bloggers who want to learn how to grow their readership and potentially monetize their online content.
Darren brings the right attitude to all of this - and it's important. He's learned the hard way and he shares his learnings generously. The book - and the blog - are valuable resources for any blogger wanting to get serious about their own online presence.

Summary: Solid, practical, easy to read & designed for finger tip referencing
Comment: As a relatively new blogger (Feb '08), I found Darren Rowse's and Chris Garrett's book the perfect guide to the world of blogging for money. Cover to cover, it is full of easy-to-absorb points and insights streamlined to help new bloggers get up and running or to help current bloggers enhance their income. The authors cover blog set up, blog writing, income strategies, promotion, overviews of successful blogs, and much more. They even provide specifically targeted tips and exercises to enhance the reader's understanding of the topic.
Beyond the specific dos and don't, I found these themes in the book as well:
Pro-blogging is not a get-rich-quick scheme
Pro-blogging requires hard work and commitment
Pro-bloggers do exist, and you can be one of them
Pro-blogging means connecting to, draw in, and maintaining a community
Pro-bloggers must provide something useful to the reader
The authors succeed quite well with that last point. No fluff here, just solid, hard-earned information straight from the experts.

Summary: You'll get your money's worth...
Comment: Well presented and well organized, but not as much high-level information as I would have liked for a "pro" book. It covers a lot of basics that most pro bloggers are going to know about already. Still...in the end, I got enough new tips and insights that it was well worth the price. Can't ask for much more than that.
