6th Month Blog Birthday!

Well, its my 6 month Blog Birthday and that means that you get to see my monthly earnings. This month, I have to admit that the number of posts and traffic was down quite a bit mainly due to the lack of posting on my behalf but around this time next month, I will start blogging again so those numbers will surely rise. My RSS reader numbers have actually risen to around 70+ so that has been good. Lets take a look at the income breakdown.

Adsense - I did not change around the Adsense placement and Google has always been able to provide consistent results for the blog and although some people would disagree, I think it is a stable source of income for the blog.

TTZMedia - Since last month, I have decided to do away with TTZ Media because after my report on TTZMedia, I realized that my earnings were going to be cut in half and that wasn’t satisfactory for me because Google Adsense was performing much better for me, so I decided to switch back to Adsense.

Text Link Ads - TLA hasn’t been able to generate any revenue for the blog even after the fact that the Alexa for the blog is in the 80,000 range. Either way, if you are interested you can place your order. If you aren’t a member and want to sign-up then click here.

Kontera - Kontera has been performing better ever since I changed the link color from being the same as a regular link on the blog. It has grown tremendously since the link color change. You should try it out!

ReviewMe / Direct Reviews - I actually did do a review this month for MacEwan and the earnings reflect the money received as a result of that. If you are interested in a direct review, it will set you back $20 directly through me and you will also get a spot on the Wall Of Blogs. If you want to see what you will receive for $20, see my review of The Prize Blog or my review of MacEwan and if you are already impressed then you can order your review by clicking the button below. ReviewMe can be a great way to increase your income so consider signing up for it, if you aren’t signed up already!

Sponsored Reviews - I did not do any reviews through SponsoredReviews this month mainly because most of the reviews offered were not related to the theme of the blog so I decided to stay away from these reviews. Hopefully, doing so has helped maintain the theme on the blog.

5th Month Earnings Report
Google Adsense - $14.30
TTZMedia - $0.60
Text Link Ads - $0.00
Kontera - $1.31
ReviewMe / Direct Reviews - $20.00
SponsoredReviews - $0.00
Grand Total Earnings: $36.21

These earnings are from October 15th to November 14th and although there was a drop in income it was mainly a result of a low posting frequency. Hopefully this will pick up soon!

Traffic: Traffic was slightly down this month to in the 5000 range however the main reason for this is that my post frequency was much lower this month because of school related work and I really do hope to bring that up soon.

Alexa: Last month, I had set a goal for Alexa to be at 75,000 and currently my Alexa is at 81,000 which is not in the range but I am still working on getting my blog on track to get that ranking to look a lot better!

Technorati: I have started to question Technorati as last month my rank was around 16,200 and then suddenly dropped to 20,800 and I had to basically start back again and this has been happening for the past few months. Finally, the ranking is back in the 16,000 range and I really do hope to see it g below 15,000 for the months ahead.

RSS Subscribers: I was actually happy that even after not being able to post as often as I would like that I was able to get around 70+ RSS readers and I am very thankful to all of you who have stuck around with the blog through its ups and downs.

Who Was The Top Commentator?
I was not sure who the Top Commentator last month was - whether it was Nick from RomanDock or Simon from YeePage. According to me, I believe it was Simon but if someone can confirm it, then that would be great. If it was indeed Simon, then you will get a review but if it was Nick then I would have to give Nick a free month of advertising on the blog! Anyway, Hopefully someone can update me on this.

Aside from all that, hopefully the earnings for the month look satisfactory to all of you. They have dropped down considerably but I will definitely be trying to get the blog back up on its feet and from then on the earnings should look much better. Hope you guys had a great week!
