    Blog Money — June 2007

    July 3rd, 2007 - 18 Comments »

    Blogging revenues for June 2007 continue to be good on limited revenue sources. Revenues for May 2007 spiked from April after I added PayPerPost (PPP) and promoted Text Link Ads (TLA).

    AdSense improved despite bloggers all around the blogosphere reporting a notable decline directly following Google’s elimination of arbitrageurs (here, here, and here). Each had their own idea of why it was down this month. My AdSense earnings were up. I credit my PayPerPost reviews for that. I wrote about secure and reliable online backup, spyware detection and removal, and criminal defense attorneys just to name a few. Each brought in some good click revenue in addition to the fee I made for the review itself through PPP.

    I was *this close* to matching May’s revenues, and I’m not the least bit disappointed. In fact, I’m excited about July. Here are my blogging revenues for June 2007:

    Google AdSense: $51.41
    Text Link Ads: $22.40
    PayPerPost: $215.83
    AuctionAds: $7.47
    AzoogleAds: $50.00
    Advertising on brohans.com: ($4.00)
    TOTAL: $343.11

    I had 8 PPP reviews last month versus 7 this month. I’ve run AzoogleAds on my blog before. In fact, they’re on my About page. But I added BlockBuster Total Access banners to my videos, and I lured one referral in. And, finally…my TLA revenues increased because my stats continue to increase. Alexa has gone from about 160k down to 139k, and my pagerank remains a PR5. Both are used to determine your ad price through TLA. Now if I can just determine how to sell my remaining inventory of 9 sidebar ads and my post level ads, I’ll be all set. New goal for July!

    Thank you!

    I’m happy to hear that you enjoy Derrich.com, kali. $1.08 in 2 months? Well, you can definitely make some extra cash with the right programs. Just don’t let it take away from/alter your content.

    Pretty good income from pay per post. Other bloggers also have ReviewMe. It’s really good to have your advertising revenues diversified.

    Hey! Thanks for the mention. I have to get on Text-link ads as I’m only on Adsense right now.

    I sure hope so.

    @ Leo: you definitely need to. It’s easy money.

    @ Blain: Thanks, man!

    @ Filam: I’m using ReviewMe as well, but I haven’t had the same opportunities as I’ve had with PayPerPost.

    Without referring to the TOS…yes. Bloggers have been doing it for awhile now. What isn’t cool is revealing your eCPM stats.

    This post gives me some sort of motivation. It makes me feel that I’m not that far from you and also it’s shows that there are a lot more room to grow as a blogger.

    Thanks Derrich. :p
