what does Google pay bloggers?

Not enough.

Unfortunately Google has very little competition from Yahoo, Microsoft … or anyone else.

An interesting tidbit from Guy Kawasaki’s wrap-up of his first full year blogging. … Note that his blog has been consistently between the 35th and 45th most popular in the world, according to Technorati. Here are some of his stats:

* 2,436,117 page views for an average of approximately 6,200/day. 21,000 people receive RSS feeds via Feedburner and 1,457 receive emails via FeedBlitz.

So just to review, that’s:

A best-selling author and genuine tech celebrity writing a thoughtful essay nearly every workday on a top-50 blog for an audience of around 30,000 people/day.

And the pay for that is about $280 a month. If Guy can get Google to write a check at all.
