Blog income report - December 09

Last month of the year had been unexpectedly successful in terms of blogging earnings. Even though I was posting very rarely. As you can see below there was broad rebound on month-on-month basis except Forbes Blogs Network. But this is really niche ads program compare to Adsense or INO.

I wish you GREAT YEAR 2010 !!!!


Detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $243.92 ($238.11)
INO $115.31 ($85)
Forbes Blogs Network $4.61 ($5.68)
Direct sales $123.6 ($57)


Total $487.44 ($385.79)

Blog income report - November 09

Another month is over and I am here with regular statistics with earnings from blogging. November was at the first sight quite bad month. Very poor results from INO and low income from direct sales. In total, earnings are sightly below $400.
But on the other side I made some new deals for direct sales which will be included in next month report. Google Adsense income is still increasing mainly due to earnings jump in new websites.
Outlook for the rest of the year. We have last month ahead and December is usually one of the worst month in terms of number of visitors. And therefore I would be happy with same results achieved in November meaning somewhere around $400.

Detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $238.11 ($230.75)
INO $85 ($165.29)
Forbes Blogs Network $5.68 ($6.17)
Direct sales $57 ($57)


Total $385.79 ($459.21)

Blog income report - October 09

Again end-month earnings statistics with my blogging activities. As you can see below not so good month at all. In total it is around $450 vs. $600 month ago. What is the reason of such a decline? Main reasons are less posting. As I stated last time that in future I want to increase posting, exactly the opposite happened. I didn't have enough time for my blogging and regular posting. And the second reason is visible in INO results. I stopped to promote INO so heavily as I did before. No promotions in posts and so on.

I am setting one main target for following months. REGULAR POSTING AND MORE POSTING.

Detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $230.75 ($225.79)
INO $165.29 ($275.49)
Forbes Blogs Network $6.17 ($3.81)
Direct sales $57 ($100)


Total $459.21 ($605.09)

Blog Income report - September 09

After two months gap I am publishing again statistics with blogging earnings. I had summer break from posting this regular income statistics. Usually during July and August are earnings on lower side and this happened also this year. Earnings ranged somewhere between $400-$500 per month.
September results shows nice rebound even vs. June. On total $605. It is one of the best results ever. Mainly due to strong CTR improvement in Adsense (I have posted in previous post about new beta blogger template and increase in CTR).
INO shows also strong numbers but it is not so good like one year ago when INO earnings reached even $700 per month due to several affiliate sales. I have decided not to use INO so aggressively as I did last year.

Generally targets for following months are quite simple. No radical changes to templates or ads programs. Just continue with regular posting more frequently than last months.

Detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $225.79 ($100.82)
INO $275.49 ($312.82)
Forbes Blogs Network $3.81 ($2.98)
Direct sales $100 ($135.7)


Total $605.09 ($552.32)

Blog Income Report - June 09

In total it was good month and we can see again month to month increase. But this time it had been mainly because of big affiliate sale in INO. Google Adsense was very disappointing this time. I can see two reasons for that. First, low number of visitors. Traffic went down as a reflection of less published posts. Ans second is redesign of my blogger template. It went wider and can see lower CTR in my Adsense account. I will follow this and perhaps switch to previous blogger template design.
Another point which I would like to mention is that I can finally see results from other websites which were launched 2 or 3 months ago. Now it is only few dollars but the good point is that there are now more money making websites.

Detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $100.82 ($207.62)
INO $312.82 ($169,82)
Forbes Blogs Network $2.98 ($5.88)
Direct sales $135.7 ($135)
Amazon Associates $0 ($0)
Commisson Junction $0 (12)


Total $552.32 ($530.32)

Blog Income Report - May

May was generally successful month. You remember last time I have announced new websites and one of them (www.emergingindex.com) has received Google PR 2 within 1 month. This is very good result.

About blogging incomes. Strong results from Adsense, INO. New direct sales. And I have started to use Commission junction with $12 as a initial results. Altogether $530 as a total earnings. Great!!!

Detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $207.62 ($146.89)
INO $169,82 ($73.28)
Forbes Blogs Network $5.88 ($2.2)
Direct sales $135 ($115)
Amazon Associates $0 ($0.88)
Commisson Junction $12 (-)


Total $530.32 ($338.25)

Blog Income Report - April.

I would start summary for last month with words..."Not a good one at all". As you can see significant drop on all sources. I was thinking about the reason. Well my flagship blog get lower Google PR around 2 months ago and was thing that it is because of lower traffic. But traffic remains the same as I had with Google PR 4. CTR also the same but commission went down. Also I played a little bit with INO ads which reflected in one straight week without any earnings from INO. I will definitely look at this and probably used previous INO ads.

In April I have bought several domains and started new web sites and blogs. The strategy is clear, not to be dependent only on one blog site. I mean right now all my incomes come from one flagship blog.

New websites which I have launched during April are mixture of finance and health care web sites.

www.emergingindex.com - This website will be used for regular blogging for topics from emerging stock markets.

www.pyorrhea.info - The website about Periodontitis. You can find tips how to prevent your teeth and gums from Periodontitis and tartar and also tips for dental hygiene.



And Here are detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $146.89 ($250)
INO $73.28 ($182.1)
Forbes Blogs Network $2.2 ($11.5)
Direct sales $115 ($115)
Amazon Associates $0.88 ($0)

Total $338.25 ($558.6)

Blog Income Report - March

As I pointed out in previous post Forbes Blogs Business Network is gaining steam. And this is also reflected into the last earnings report for March. Here are the numbers:

Here are detailed statistics:
Google Adsense $250 ($193.17)
INO $182.1 ($375.53)
Forbes Blogs Network $11.5 ($9.11)
Direct sales $115 ($115)
Amazon Associates $0 ($0)

Total $558.6 ($692.81)

Blog Income Report - February

Last month I set goal $500 but this has been exceeded significantly. On total blog income reached $692. I didn't have time for posting but still earnings and traffic grew. Still most of the income comes from my one flagship blog. My plan is to extent blog earnings also to other blogs and not to be dependent only on one website.

As you can see nothing new in terms of income source. Still leading sources are INO and Google Adsense. In INO I had 2 referral sales and some commission from free stuff.

For next month I am putting target to stay above $500.

Here are detailed statistics:
Google Adsense $193.17 ($238.59)
INO $375.53 ($210.53)
Forbes Blogs Network $9.11 ($2.13)
Direct sales $115 ($154.7)
Amazon Associates $0 ($1.49)

Total $692.81 ($607.44)

Blog Income report - January.

Let's start with general evaluation. This has been the second best month ever. The best blog income month was July due to huge one time commission from referral sales through INO.
This time I see at both major money makers, Google Adsense and INO.

In January I have no new direct ads sales and one of 12 months paid subscriber has expired. Therefore if no new customer in February there will be decline in direct ads sales amount.

With results for January I am very pleased and surprised. Because I am actually out of office and posting very rarely compare to the average.

Let's make at least $500 in next month. This is a target for February.


Here are detailed statistics:
Google Adsense $238.59 ($189.12)
INO $210.53 ($152.85)
Forbes Blogs Network $2.13 ($3.47)
Direct sales $154.7 ($154.7)
Amazon Associates $1.49 ($1.62)

Total $607.44 ($501.76)

Blog Income report - December.

Last month of 2009 is over and here are my blog income results. The good thing is that earnings are still growing. Even in December which is generally considered as a bad for blogging. Especially when you are blogging about finance, stock markets where is really poor activity during this month.

Total earnings closed above magical level of $500. Google Adsense is number one of my earnings. The leading position is either Adsense or INO. The biggest decline is with Forbes Blog Network. This month Forbes brought $3.47 down from $12.01.

I am more that happy with the results for December. Especially when my posting was on the downside. My expected earnings range had been somewhere between $400 - $450. For the new year I have one target. I want to stay regularly above $500.


Here are detailed statistics:
Google Adsense $189.12 ($141.50)
INO $152.85 ($248.25)
Forbes Blogs Network $3.47 ($12.01)
Direct sales $154.7 ($96.4)
Amazon Associates $1.62 ($1.59)

Total $501.76 ($499.75)

Blog income report - November.

During November I have not been posting articles like for previous month. In fact I posted only 18 short posts. But from the blog income point of view this was very successful month. I have reached $500 in total.

Except of Adsense I see increase on all sources. Especially earnings from Forbes Bloggers Network rise rapidly but eCPM is still very low. Income has risen mainly due to decrease in unsold inventories. Now almost 50% of impressions are filled in with Forbes ads.

I have to again mention my satisfaction with INO. It is the biggest earners this month and the best complementary ads program which I have tried up to now.

Here are detailed statistics:
Google Adsense $141.50 ($196.43)
INO $248.25 ($146.35)
Forbes Blogs Network $12.01 ($5.15)
Direct sales $96.4 ($96.4)
Amazon Associates $1.59 ($1.25)

Total $499.75 ($445.58)

Blog Income report - October.

Another month is over and here is my regular statistics about blog income. This month I managed to increase my total income and ending up with $445. That's not bad.

Adsense posted amazing month. With almost 200 bucks it is the best month ever. I see main contribution in sharp traffic increase. Last 2 months I have been posting more than usual. INO is still strong source. This month I didn't managed to have affiliate sales. All commissions are from free stuff. Forbes Blogs Network continues with improvement. This month I receive first affiliate money from Amazon for 2 sold books.

Outlook for next month. I want to have at least $400 in November. My action plan for the month is:

- keep regular posting (at least 23 posts).

- customize and place Adsense banners.

- discover more about Amazon Associates and testing books reviews.

Here are detailed statistics:

Google Adsense $196.43 ($74.37)
INO $146.35 ($195.35)
Forbes Blogs Network $5.15 ($4.21)
Direct sales $96.4 ($74.5)
Amazon Associates $1.25 ($0)

Total $445.58 ($348.93)

Blog Income report - September.

Another month is over and here is regular monthly income report from my blogging. You remember I set my target to earn $600. Unfortunately I haven't reached this amount and as you can see below total income was around $350. Not bad but it is already second month with declining income.

Forbes blog network is the best surprise. I started to generate solid income again with sold impressions around 25%. Also direct sales are improving. The biggest income sources like INO and Adsense are with weak performance this month.

For October I am setting lower target, $500.


Google Adsense $74.37 ($87.57)
RevResponse $0.50 ($2.10)
INO $195.35 ($285.93)
Forbes Blogs Network $4.21 ($0.82)
Direct sales $74.5 ($42.5)

Total $348.93 ($418.92)

Blog income report - August.

New month begins and we have here latest earnings report from my blogging. As usual in brackets you can see income from previous month for particular program. This month was not very good as shown from earnings statistics. There are two factors why I haven't reached targets. First, I had been posting significantly less. Second, August is usually weak in terms of visitors due to holidays. It is especially seen for finance related sites.

Bad month for Adsense which generated half of the July's earnings.

Rebound for RevResponse, I want to focus more on this program. As the product is very attractive because they offer free stuff (magazines, newsletters). I want to try different ways of promotion for RevResponse.

INO still continue to be number one but with half of July's earnings. I have already referred program to some fellow bloggers and referral INO's earnings reached $6.50 this month.

As I mentioned last time I replaced Forbes Blogs Network ads. Replace is not the right word. I filled in INO HTML codes in Adify account for unsold inventories. So whenever Forbes ads are not available banners will show automatically INO ads.

Generally I am not very happy with my August performance and therefore I decided to set targets. September I want to end it up at least with $600.


Google Adsense $87.57 ($163)
RevResponse $2.10 ($1.26)
INO $285.93 ($574)
Forbes Blogs Network $0.82 ($1.19)
Direct sales $42.5 ($42.5)

Total $418.92 ($782.31)

Blog Income report - July.

New month and new Blog Income report is here. Actually last month was pretty successful and definitely one of the best since I have started with blogging. Last month it was first time when Adsense had not been major source of income but still Adsense income is growing on month to month.
The best is INO which is affiliate program for financial and business blogs. INO offers very attractive tools and analysis for investing. Total income generated in July is $574.

On the downside. Already in June report I have mentioned my disappointment with Forbes blogs network. It is still running on my blog but I have included code for INO in case of unsold inventories. Actually unsold inventories are close to 90%.
After good first month with RevResponse this time program generated only revenues from my referrals.
Ads for feeds are main action for next months. Feedburner used to generate around $90 per month. But now ads are not visible in my feed nevertheless program is active. I am still searching proper CPM or CPC ads for my feeds. Hopefully recently released Beta Adsense for feed will be available for general public.

Generally I am very happy for July as income more than tripled compared to month ago.


Google Adsense $163 ($139)
RevResponse $1.26 ($9.58)
INO $574 ($34)
Feedburner $0.36 ($1.53)
Forbes Blogs Network $1.19 ($5.75)
Direct sales $42.5 ($42.5)

Total $782.31 ($232.36)

Blong income from affiliate sale.

On Friday I had the most successful day in terms of earnings from my blogging. Surprisingly it did not come from Adsense which is up to now the biggest source of earnings. I had 2 affiliate sales with INO. Total sales were $898 and you receive as a affiliate 40% which is $359 for 1 day !!!

It is amazing. And definitely I can say already now that in next "Blog income report" there will be INO as a biggest source of income for July.

I have to say that since I've joined INO it performs very well. They have wide choice of campaign which fit to finance and business blogs. Especially to blogs focused on investing.

Blog Income report - June.

On my blog Money and Web I'll publish every month my earnings related to blogging. And here you have my first blog income report. Last month I've started to use 2 new affiliate programs (INO and RevResponse). And they are performing very well. Especially INO did excellent result considering that ads are not running more than half month.
However Google Adsense is still number one income source. Big disappointment are ads from Forbes Blogs Network. I give them chance till the end of July and then remove them from my sites.


Google Adsense $139
RevResponse $9.58
INO $34
Feedburner $1.53
Forbes Blogs Network $5.75
Direct sales $42.5

Total $232.36
