Summary: Comprehensive guide for beginners
Comment: Darren Rowse rightfully lays claim to the title of Problogger. This Aussie stay-at home dad always manages to write informative and thought provoking posts which are a pleasure to read. This book takes the reader through the whole process of starting a blog, providing quality content, driving traffic and finally monetizing the whole shebang. He is careful to point out that although making money from blogs is entirely possible, it takes time and hard work - certainly not a get rich quick scheme. For an experienced blogger much of the material will be familiar but even so will provide insights and information that will be new.

Summary: Blogging for bucks made easy by a real pro
Comment: I've been watching Darren Rowse's career as a blogger since he first gained attention for his content and style. A great example for anyone who wants to make money online doing what they love, Darren makes blogging look easy... and it is! I'm thrilled to see this edition which pulls from Darren's experience and cuts through to the most important things one would need to give attention in order to success as a pro blogger. Perhaps the best book available on the topic, I highly recommend ProBlogger for anyone who wants to share their thoughts and ideas with the world and turn their content into cash for a living. - The AdSense Code: What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense

Summary: ProBlogger Book: A Great Introductory Blogging Book
Comment: This book is all about blogging. It is a great book with insights from the authors, Darren Rowse and Chris Garret. They share their experience in blogging ad how their casual blogging interest turned out to be where they earn money out of blogging.
What I like about this book is that the content doesnt' assume that everybody should blog or blogging is a sure-earn-money deal. Instead, throughout the book, I find that there is a balance input of opinions whether we should blog for money. Even if you are not blogging for money, this book points to many relevant resources and exercises to help you learn about blogging.
Well, at least it causes me to be interested!
If you're the super busy kind of person, and doesn't have time to try blogging, then this book might not be suitable for you yet.
If you enjoy blogging, this book will make you wiser, as long as you apply its insights into practice.

Summary: Great foundational info.
Comment: I bought and read the entire book in a sitting. It is easy to read yet provides some really good foundational info about how to take your blog(s) to the next level. I've been blogging for 5 years, but have only just started taking it seriously in the last year, and both the book and the Problogger.com site has helped me tremendously.
Putting the principles from the book into action on my blog, I have been seeing a 10-15% traffic. increase PER WEEK.
There isn't much fluff in this book, but it is still very approachable and easy to understand.
I highly recommend it (and his website) to any serious blogger out there, professional amateur, beginner or otherwise.

Summary: A Fabulous Primer For Starting To Blog For $$$
Comment: I've been blogging semi-professionally for several years as the author of scrapbookupdate.com and wanted to ramp up my efforts. I've been reading Darren's site for awhile now and his book puts together in a great, easy to reference package, the essential elements of being successful at blogging professionally.
This book is not about running a spam type site. It is not a "become a web milionaire" book. It is about running a legitimately useful site that you can make money from for your efforts. Whether you are a beginner at running this type of site or looking to improve your efforts, there will be something in here for you! It is definitely joining my library of essential tools that will be referenced frequently to remind myself of the basics and give me new ideas when I want to go in a new direction.
