Loyalty Lobby has zero card income and does very nicely.

The odd thing in the US is that bloggers look at the guys who make money with credit cards, realise they cannot get links and therefore conclude they cannot make any money full stop. This is complete rubbish.
My apologies if that appeared to be my point. I was suggesting that income the size of Brian or Ben's is not possible in other countries, and that the business model is different in the US. Both your blog and Loyalty Lobby have completely different business models than Bankrate, etc., and it appears you're not disagreeing. Indeed, I believe you have pointed out before that there are different restrictions on your credit card marketing that American bloggers do not face.
