How? Makes you wonder doesnt it?
Two answers. Traffic and a very high eCPM
Blog traffic held steady at 330,339 page views from 180,291 visitors. If you take the blog’s page view and divide that by the income it will give you a site wide eCPM of $70.98. Blog expense for the month include $526.85 for Google Adwords advertising and $25 for a private ad.
Now a big part of that eCPM is the private ad sales, which are about half. But in the end the answer comes from one thing. TRAFFIC. Lots of traffic. 6,000 visitors a day each viewing about 11 pages per day. So - The question im asking myself is - how do I get to that level of traffic? This is something I am thinking about alot at this time of year as I am developing my goals and planning for 2008. Naturally, suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

I think anything is possible - even with a personal blog. The key is high traffic and targetted advertising.
