I have had one for about 7 years now , have ran everything from Exponent to Wordpress on it , even had it full flash back in like 2005 ,
I make more money from local and regional advertisers than I do with google , not that I am on a yacht or anything but I made enough to keep me interested in doing it . And learned a whole hell of a lot about the Web Business.
Hell yea it is super tough to manage , it really is just me, I had freelance photographers, writers , designers but dam I was paying others more than I kept just to meet the demand , now I have slacked it for a month and the hits are in the gutter , but it is fun and keeps my nose in the latest on web development
It is not always about top 25 this or that, hell I think we did our first top anything list this month, it is about finding a niche , it really is. Tech is not niche anymore , design hmm no I would say , but something local, a local beat kind of blog, or hobby based, if you do tech or design , post original content , your own tips and tricks , people always want to try a new technique I would say, Guess it helps to live is smaller cities where the reach of Mega Media is still not as prominent .
I see it as a mom and pop kind of store. A small local site , with a local based audience that can get you advertisers paying anything from $40 to $150 a month x say 5 pays off a bill or two at least
