I just had an “oh my god, I get more page views on my site than one of scriv’s sites” moment. Yet, I make about $0.20 a day from my site – which is fine with me, since my objective isn’t to make money so much as make sure the hosting bills are covered.

Yeah, well I am sure Google is more generous with your site ;-)

Google has not been spreading the love for me. On one of my abandonded sites, I still get ~ 80-100 views a day, yet Adsense has slowly (not suddenly) decreased my “views” to about 5 a day…

Sometimes, I just don’t get search engines.

Although, congrats on the amazing turnaround for such a low pageview count. I think that’s a pretty impressive conversion rate.

Lately I’ve been more into hustling the internet. Still looking to be a part of the 9rules Network, but expecting that rejection letter any day now. Before I was just doing it because it is what I love to do, and money was just a perk that would come here and there.

But in the last month I have practiced more discipline in my manor. The tactics I use, frequency of updating, and how I choose to write. And it has paid off big; we all know Google doesn’t let you say how much, but at my current rate…I will have doubled what I made last month via AdSense (I attribute some of this to the two new blogs, but channels tell me very little credit is due there so far).

Additionally getting an Amazon store indexed always helps out. Sales aren’t great, and hell they never will be. I’m probably averaging around 6 sales a day, which I’m not sure is good, but I think its not bad for only being indexed for a month.

Finally Dreamhost rewards. $485 this month, not bad, not great. It has been hanging on $485 for a while now…started with fire up under its ass, ended being a dead fuse.

Congrats on your first milestone. Here’s to many more…hell, I’ll drink to that.

I would bet that if you changed the format to allow the google ads to be placed ” in ” the content/articles, that your AdSense revenues would increase. The fact that they are located below the content allows the reader to look away as son as he/she finishes the article.

It has worked for us on all of our sites that have AdSense enabled. For an example, just click on my name and go to the Articles page when you hit the site.

For my taste, which I’m sure matters little to you, your format is much, much too busy. Too many choices for the reader. We have several sites with that amount of traffic, or less that do exponentially more $$$ than your example.

Not that you need it, but if you’d like to email or call, I’d be willing to share more. Or ask here and I’ll share with everyone.

Peace,
