So here are the first rankings for people's blog incomes. As the list grows we'll be changing the format, but until it is a larger list there is no need. The levels are as follows: Seven Figures/year, Six Figures/year, Five Figures/year, $100/month, and $100 total.

Seven Figures ($83,333+/month):

• None yet that I know of.
  

Six Figures ($8,333+/month) :

• Darren at www.problogger.com - in this post Darren reveals that his monthly income from blogging was over $15,849.60 for the month of August. That puts him at around $200,000 a year. Total number of blogs, unknown. Years blogging, unknown.
  

Five Figures ($833+/month):

$100/month:


$100 total:


Rules: All amounts are in US dollars. Amounts must be per person (so if two bloggers are jointly bringing in $15,000 then they get credit for $7,500 each; and if one person has ten blogs then their income from all of them counts). Income must be derived from a blog style content site decided at the sole discretion of the owners and opperators of this blog. Extrapolations of high water marks are acceptable, but genuine income is preffered.

If you would like to be included in this listing, put up a post on your site and either send us an email at bloggingrates@gmail.com or put a comment here. Please include your blog name, your name (or pseudonym), how much you brought in in the last month, how many blogs this is from, and how long you have been blogging. Extra points if you break out your income from multiple sources, or over time.
