SiteFever: The Latest and Greatest Addition To My RSS Inbox

All most all bloggers in this ‘blogging and make money online’ niche are all looking for roughly same thing. To keep their attention the blog needs a clean unique layout, some useful and well written content and even more importantly have impressive stats to boast about. John Chow’s (and John Cow’s for that matter) most popular posts are the monthly earnings and stats updates because it makes people feel like those sites are ‘where it’s at’ and if they look away they might miss something important.

Site Fever gives this impression. Unlike the swathes of blogs that publish their stats each weekend and show minimal progress SiteFever is rocketing straight to the top. With an upbeat publishing schedule of 1-3 posts a day the RSS subscriber count has risen to 240. Not bad for a blog that is less than 2 months old!

To put us all to shame SiteFever also sold a whopping $590 of advertising in just 10 days of monetization which means it could potentially sell for over $7000. The owner, John Robinson managed to make this money by setting up an advertising page where he takes 100% revenue. He makes no money from affiliate links or CPC ads. You can expect to see this happening on Blogging Fingers sooner than you might think.

Most of the content on Site Fever is not scan-able (much like this post). Scan-ability has become a trend among bloggers of late, but Site Fever easily gets away with it because it is so well written and gives you exactly what you want.

SiteFever got a jump-start from a PDF article (don’t call it an ebook if John is looking!) entitled Blog Traffic Made Easy, which has had over 700 downloads. I consider it a complete guide to blogging and is a useful read for all new bloggers.

The new Sitefever custom theme is very easy on the eyes and has been optimized for fast loading time. Despite all the revenue generation it appears surprisingly uncluttered. I tested the theme in Firefox and it works fine, however in Safari there is a small glitch at the bottom of the page, which needs ironing out.

Conclusion

All in all I’ve found myself impressed with SiteFever and I was happy to subscribe via RSS. I consider myself fairly hard to please but somehow SiteFever managed it. Just in case you are an advertiser and want to query those stats then check out this post where John goes into more detail about stats than I have ever seen before on any blog. SiteFever gets the Blogging Fingers Thumbs Up.
