It's so easy to get distracted from the main objective of a money making blog - which is to make money! There's always a good excuse, of course. In my case I tell myself it's because of limited time for blogging and the fact that I have been concentrating on building my new blog Celebrity Insider - Photos & News. They are both true but somehow it's necessary to keep everything going and not lose track of why I'm actually blogging.
Anyway, here are some of the things I'm involved with.
AdSense $308.11
I'm sure we all know about AdSense. It's improved for me since I started the new blog - but I'd still like a lot more. Must think about the ads positioning, the headline colours etc. and see what I can do to improve.
Amazon UK £3.80 ($7.22)
My Amazon aStore Blogging Good Blogs doesn't bring in much - perhaps that's because I don't promote it or Amazon books and products properly!
AuctionAds Nil.
As I said last week I joined this on June 11th but no income as yet - that's despite 31,002 page impressions giving 334 clicks. I'll continue for a full month but, if no cash forthcoming, the space will have to be put to better use. The ads are in the right hand column, towards the bottom of the page.
Cashlinkr $4.50
Nothing to add from what I said last week.
Convergence Inc $142.60 (over 18's only)
There are only a few places I can promote this, because of it's adult nature (adult products). They are efficient, however, pay on time and give affiliates a free website. If you can market the products there is enormous potential.
Daytipper $3.00
Same thoughts as last week. 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 $593.15
This one works! Affiliates can promote over twenty websites with one sign up. There is also a choice of ways to earn - either per click, by order or by percentage. They have always paid me regularly and as expected. I did a report on this program in January Money Making Test: FriendFinder Group.
Helium $11.00
Another few more cents this week. As I said last week I like this website even though I've never done much with it. If you like writing lots of articles / reports I'm sure it could prove profitable.
myLot $58.15
Haven't had time to go on the site over the past week but made a few dollars from having introduced new members.
PayPerPost $40.02
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. I only bother to check my stats on a monthly basis.
You Gov £39.00 ($74.10)
A few more pounds this week. 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 $240.16 made from advertising revenue.
No, I'm pleased to say, I'm well through the $2000 barrier.
Moving on to Search Engine Referrals.
833 referrals this week from the various search engines to this blog. This takes the total received from this source to 12,014.
As for my new blog, Celebrity Insider - Photos & News, I had 1403 search engine referrals for the last seven days and 5079 hits (average of 725 per day). This is really where my efforts have been concentrated over the week in my alloted blogging time.My Mike's Top Ten Referrals From Blogs is in the side column this week. I hope to do a June list during next week and will publish this when completed.
Thanks for reading this post.
Good luck,
Mike.
