My Fastlane Plan http://www.myfastlaneplan.com My Plan to free Myself from the Cubicle Cage. Fri, 26 Aug 2011 20:43:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 July Stats for Affiliate Marketing http://www.myfastlaneplan.com/2011/08/july-stats-affiliate-marketing/ http://www.myfastlaneplan.com/2011/08/july-stats-affiliate-marketing/#comments Fri, 26 Aug 2011 20:43:00 +0000 Kurt http://www.myfastlaneplan.com/?p=146 Sorry all, I have been very busy this month which has delayed this update from the 15th when I usually try to update. The busyness will be showing up next month when I give you my August numbers, but for now lets focus on July.

In June, I purchased an affiliate site for $2500. In July I already earned back $75. Not bad for a summer month. I expect this to be paid off in under a year, or I made a bad deal. So my net outlay is $2425 after July.

My backlink service testing site is also off to a great start. I made a few bucks in adsense which I will report in the total adsense numbers, but outside of that, the site earned $16.49, but laid out about $250 for the services I am testing, so that has a lot of ground to make up.

Hubpages: I am no longer going to update the earnings for them unless I see some significant improvement. I made about $1 last month. Nothing to write home about.

Adsense: I dropped $0.68 to $80.22 this month, but since it is a longer month, this means my daily earnings actually dropped. Also, my testing site came online so this also means my autoblog earnings have dropped a bit more. I do expect at some point for these to reach zero as panda becomes hungrier, but for August, it still looks pretty decent.

Amazon: Another small drop here to $157.78. August is looking even worse, but with some of the backlinking I have been doing starting to take affect, I am hoping that the end of August will redeem the month for me.

Forex: July was was first losing month all year. The stupid debt deal drama in the US got to me and I broke all my rules and paid for it. Still up for the year, but not where I was.

See you next month.

Basically, I hate backlinking and I hate paying for poor quality, spamarama backlinks. To that end, I launched SEO Testing. Here is a chance for 5 services to prove their worth on a level playing field. The results will speak for themselves.

Feel free to follow along and see how successful they are. I have a couple other tests up my sleeves that I will roll out after this one is complete.

Forex: I looked back through my earnings for this year, and I have yet to have a down month. That felt very good for me, because I seem to be building a bit of a track record.

Ecommerce Site: I am not finished building it yet. That being said, I have had one sale so far. The profit was not great, but that was due to some minimum order requirements which will be gone soon.

Partnering: Still lack luster. Due to some personal time issues, we are putting all efforts on hold and outsourcing some of the backlinking for now.

Affiliate Marketing Earnings:
Amazon- I earned about 20% more than last month bringing me to a grand total of $161.96 which was about 90% higher than June 2010. Still working on some ranking stuff which hopefully my SEO experiment will help adress.

Adsense- Another record adsense month for me at $80.80. It started of tracking for over $100 but then panda 2 came out and bit me a little bit. This is huge gains compared to the paltry $14 I earned in June 2010.

Hubpages- Dropped to $0.98. This is mainly do to them unpublishing a lot of my hubs do to their new restrictions. I have not had the time to put in to remedy this as I feel my time is better spent on other projects.

That is all till next month, thanks for reading.
