Blogging to the Bank is authored by the hyper-successful niche blogger Rob Benwell, and has been a top seller since its first release in 2006. The book outlines a niche strategy for creating blog networks, including both white hat and black hat methods.

The book begins with a fairly in depth look at Rob’s research process, and how he chooses blogs and keywords to target. He then moves on to show you how he creates content for blogs, either by using private label content, outsourcing, free articles, or other similar methods.

You have to remember, and this is very important, that his method works for niche blogs. If you are looking to build long-term blogs ” which I highly suggest ” the Blogging to the Bank program is not for you.

Now if you are interested in a short and quick method in launching a niche blog, setting it up to make money, and then moving on to build another niche blog, then this program is for you.

This version of Blogging to the Bank moves away from contextual advertising revenue (e.g. programs like AdSense) and into affiliate marketing for monetization, an approach that I agree with wholeheartedly.

The book also reveals some methods for attracting traffic, but unfortunately, there are a fair number of inaccuracies in this section that are more likely to get you in trouble with the search engines than bring you traffic.

For example, Rob encourages the use of sponsored or paid reviews, which Google has not only said are against its webmaster guidelines, but they have started to actively crack down on this type of monetization. So do additional research before implementing any techniques of that nature.

His course contains a lot of useless bonuses, that adds little to no value. His software bonus is outdated by more than 2 years, the niche blogs he provides are low-low quality. Yes, you can use them as long as you spend hours upon hours rewriting the content.

In brief, Blogging to the Bank is good for someone who is just starting out with blogging ” But you can forget about making your first million with this course, it just does not provide enough information on how to do it.

The Package Contains: the 57-page e-book, 5 niche blogs, a Traffic generation guide, PowerPoint presentation, Blog Submitter, and Article Announcer.

Meet Stated Objectives? — No: While a good program, the claims for the package were entirely overstated.

Ease of Use: — Good: This program will be helpful to some newbies in getting started with blogging, but if you are looking for more detailed information to go beyond that, then you have to go check another course.

Customer Support: — Fair: Two support e-mails went unanswered.

Value for Money: — $37: Fair — While we dont doubt that Rob makes a great living from his blogs, he certainly doesnt disclose very much information about how to do it in this course.

Overall Rating: — Fair: Sadly, it seems like this e-book was just thrown together to cash in on a series that once held a lot of weight. If you want a package that contains a lot more meat and helpful steps, then you will want to go with one of the other courses I have reviewed.
