Blogging Way of Life

This month I’m writing my monthly report with a smile on my face (at last). Thanks to major design & ad placement changes at Hubpages the CTR’s for adsense has gone up dramatically and I’ve managed to earn some reasonable amount from Adsense. I’ve just missed the 100$ in total with a buck and I have to wait next month for the money.

While earning money from Adsense, I was desperate about my Amazon affiliate earnings. I couldn’t make any sales until the end of month an just as I was losing hope I managed to sell a Sony CyberShot Camera (Although I don’t have any related Hubs about cameras). I am now thinking of whether receiving a Amazon Gift certificate or waiting to hit the cheque limit. I still don’t get how to focus for products at Amazon because every item I sell is unrelated to my Hubs. I am planning to publish a Amazon Store this month so I hope that things will get better with Amazon.

So end of story here are the numbers :

Earnings for March: 58,53$

This is the first month my blog is published and I have started monetizing my blog. In the first month of the blog I wasn’t expecting any income actually because of the low content and no regular visitors at all. I have started this blog with 100$ spending (for my hosting and domain name) and the worst case scenario for me is losing that money. Looking at my earnings I won’t lose that money even if my earnings stays same. (which isn’t likely because as the content increases and I gain regular visitors the traffic is more likely to increase in an exponential graph)

Earnings for November: 15,76$

• Google Adsense Earnings : 13,12$
• Amazon Affiliate Earnings: 2,64$

 As you can see I don’t use Amazon Ads in my blog because it’s not an item/product related blog. I am publishing my Amazon ads at my Hubs. I have sold 4 items and this is a good amount as a beginner at Hubpages. I have earned from Adsense from my blog and my hubpages account. I have accomplished my first amount with a decent amount for the first month of a blog and I am expecting the 100$ limit in a few months.

My blog has been visited 1,813 times with 3,034 page visits. The best traffic source is StumbleUpon for now. Referring Sites has %86 percentage in my traffic while search engines are %4,5. (Which is normal for a new blog) For a new blog social networking sources seems the best way to start driving traffic.

Regarding all the effort I am spending on my my Hubs created 1,620 visits in November with %60 of the traffic is from search engines. So you can use Hubpages if you want to benefit from free organic traffic without any effort.

Thanks to all supporters and followers.
