I think they will be monetizing from their newsletter. I don’t think they are focusing on monetizing yet.

To Alex and Seth, since banner advertising is prohibited on your blog, how exactly do you make money from the blog?

David – Have you tried ThemeForest? they have great premium WP themes for around $20.

Simon – I agree. I think that there are few blogs that have better content on blogging.

Cool review! Blogussion has been, and probably always will be, an awesome inspiration for other bloggers and in particular me! Seth and Alex have done a great job, and I have to disagree with Jake and say that, in my opinion, the contest is awesome! :D .-= Simon | Teenius´s last blog ..Why Relaunching Your Blog Is Awesome! =-.

Tom,
Impressive review man. :) Those guys have done a great job with Thesis, I’ve always been a fan but so have you! Some takeaways I agree on: Design shouldn’t take away or distract but compliment your content and no ads policy. Lastly, do those guys have a forum linked with their site? Cheers! Thanks for sharing.

I have been a blogussion reader from the beginning, and I have to say that the design is the best I have ever seen. The content is not ground-breaking but high quality and has gotten better with time. Good review! .-= Jake | Web Journey´s last blog ..Using Forums to Actually Build Traffic =-.

I just wanted to say thanks for the positive feedback about our blog and new design. I believe Alex and I are trying to do something remarkable, and we have 2 mantra’s for the blog: “Always over-deliver”, and “Success is in the details”.

There design is very good. I have only seen couple of great Thesis designed blogs and they are one of them. Again Tom another great review. Greg Ellison .-= Greg Ellison´s last blog ..Pumpkin Carving Pattern Sites =-.
