Well as predicted, my adsense went up and my amazon went down. I am actually very surprised at my amazon gains considering google panda update. Most of my earnings are from my autoblog sites which Panda was supposed to kill. Even this month, I am on pace to beat last months earnings by another 50%. Well at least I was, but it does appear that Panda may be nibbling at my heals the past couple days. Still on pace, but the pace seems to be dropping a bit.
Anyway, here are the hard numbers:
Amazon- $132.81 which is roughly 35% off of last months earnings. However, I did do 44% better than I did May 2010, and that is an important number for me in looking towards the Christmas ordering bump.
Adsense- As I predicted last month, my earnings grew quite a bit, but actually more than what I anticipated. I thought it would be 20%, but it was actually a 31% bump. I ended up at 68.29. Even greater growth is seen year over year. My earnings are up 755% from last May which is a trend that would be very cool to continue but not holding my breath due to the Panda being on the loose.
Hubpages: $4.35 This is a new earning center. It helps monetize some of my backlinking work, but they have turned a bit naziish lately in restricting what sites can be linked to.
New Site: I started a new ecommerce site this month. It is not finished yet. I already got my first sale but I voided it because paypal could not verify the address, and it was from Brazil. I am currently not ready to go international. Rankings have already surprised me, so this may have potential. This the first ecommerce site I have built myself. Most of the suppliers have been very nice to work with. One will not be getting an order from me anytime soon.
I will keep you updated on how it goes.
New Partnership: I partnered with 4 other guys to launch an affiliate site recently. So far no sales. This is an interested experiment for me and I will keep you posted. If all goes well we will do more, but right now, I think we are all growing a bit frustrated by the lack of sales.
Forex Trading: I am currently free rolling to the tune of 3k. I took out all my initial seed money, so I am less stressed and can react more properly. This is my relaxation activity. I know for some folks that sounds crazy, but I could honestly look at these charts all day long and not feel any fatigue from it.
That is all I have for now. Thanks for reading and I wish your success in your ventures.
Well, I finally decided to hire a virtual assistant team. Someone to do my linkbuilding for me, and this can be exciting for you too. At this point, I do not have nearly enough work to keep the team busy, so I am willing to outsource it to you for you to benefit as well. I did a lot of research, and I cannot find anyone offering link building this cheaply for the number and diversity of links I am providing.
