April saw my biggest month ever for adsense. Previous years, I was focused solely on Amazon, so I cannot say that I would have not seen bigger returns when I was living large in greater traffic days, but this is still a great direction to go. I have five times the income from adsense from one year ago, so that is a huge difference. With greater optimization of the plugins, I think I can increase this more without anymore investment in domains. However, time is a very precious commodity right now.
Amazon saw a slight uptick from the previous month. If you remember, last April was where I got stupid and brought down the wrath of google against me. That was mid April with one site. My total income from last year with that site was just over $265/month. After that I gave up and did nothing for six months.
Now I am back up to just over $245 and my efforts have not increased that much. Blue skies may be here again.
Adsense- $51.85
Amazon- $193.24
p.s. May is shaping up to be another record adsense month, but Amazon is struggling quite a bit.
This month saw a slight rise in my adsense income. I feared I would see a dramatic drop due to googles big algorithm changes. A large portion of my sites are auto blogs which is one of the big ‘issues’ google was looking to address with this update.
Somehow I survived and grew. Still not great, but anything forward is not backwards. Speaking of backwards, due to one return, my amazon sales dropped a hair. The net reality is between both adsense and amazon, my income was stable.
Adsense- $41.39
Amazon- $188.26
I am starting to see some niche diversification from building all my sites, my amazon income is no longer dependent on one niche. I am happy to see this. Hopefully, this trend will continue and grow.
