A change of format this week but, as usual, I'll give the money making aspect first.
These are programs I am currently promoting together with how much I have made from them.
AdSense $265.98
The one that a lot of bloggers use for advertising on their blogs. It's worked okay for me - just don't break any of their terms & conditions!
Amazon UK £3.44 ($6.19)
I don't promote this very much but have an aStore called Blogging Good Blogs full of books on blogging, surprisingly enough! Had an order this week and made 37p (66c) - wow!
AuctionAds Nil.
As you will no doubt have read in my recent post I only joined AuctionAds on Monday of this week. No money as yet, but they show my stats as being 5298 page impressions giving 79 clicks. I'll have to see how this one works out. You'll see their ads in this blog's side column.
Cashlinkr $4.50
As far as I'm concerned they didn't do as they said they would. So can't really recommend them.
Convergence Inc $142.60 (over 18's only)
Adult only products but when customers do buy they place decent sized orders. This won't appeal to lots of bloggers. I figured, however, that these sort of products are probably sold mostly over the Internet nowadays - because of the embarrassment factor. Convergence will set you up with your own website for free and they have always paid me out on time.
Daytipper $3.00
Say they pay $3 for tips but it's a heck of a wait to get the cash and I don't see them as a realistic money maker. Nothing wrong with the website though.
DIY Dating £53.07 ($95.52)
I did a recent post on DIY Dating, How To Make Money Dating. Briefly: They provide a free website and you choose format and sector of people you wish to include on your site from their database. Payout exactly as they say. Worldwide opportunity.
FriendFinderGroup $577.02
My biggest money maker to date. They have lots of friends and contact sites to promote (just one sign-up) to cover most interests within this market. Have paid me regularly and as expected. I did a report on this program in January Money Making Test: FriendFinder Group.
Helium $10.48
I like this website but I've never done much with it. It's about getting paid for writing articles. I've only written two and these have made me $10+.
myLot $57.02
I used this site mainly in the past for getting referrals to this blog. Very time consuming to make decent money. You can sign up referrals to help with the income.
PayPerPost $40.02
They pay out okay but I can't find any offers suitable for this blog. My post Build Blog Traffic By Other Bloggers Reviewing Your Posts refers.
Sexy Ads $287.76 (over 18's only)
Another excellent friends and contact program for affiliates. Lots of sites to promote and good promotional materials.
You Gov £33.00 ($60)
This is a genuine survey and polls company. They want more members from UK, USA and Middle East. UK residents get £1 for joining. For more info this post.
I've also made money from Commission Junction and Adbrite but no longer promote these.
Additional blog income of $210.16 made from advertising revenue.
All in all income from my blogs amounts to around $2000.
If you need other ideas to make money see my (very long) post Lots Of Ways On How To Make Money. There are over 30 money making ideas - not all of them are Internet based.
Moving on to Search Engine Referrals.
There have been 745 referrals this week from the various search engines to this blog. This takes the total received from this source to well over 10,000.
As regular readers will know I started a new blog, Celebrity Insider - Photos & News 10 days ago. I'm pleased at the way this has progressed. In the 12 days I've had 2866 uniques and 5862 visits including reloads. Better still is the fact that 1213 of the visits have come via search engines. Now all I have to do is make some money from the blog!My Mike's Top Ten Referrals From Blogs is in the side column this week.
I'll close on that note. It's been a hectic week for me personally, one of those times when there never seems enough hours in a day but such is life!
Good luck,
Mike.
