- BuzzLogic – $13.50
- Affiliate Sales – $29
- Amazon Associates – $2.92
- Private Advertising – $75

Not a bad month although I was hoping to get at least a $100 a month from AdSense constantly. 958 AdSense clicks. If I can just get $1 a click, then I’ll be a millionaire in no time lol. As you can see as well, I’ve started to promote Amazon products since last month and the figure couldn’t even pay for my morning coffee but I think Amazon Associates has a potential. Join Amazon Asosciates if you want to try it in your blog too.

Starting from this month, I’m going to be more active in getting more backlinks and also more traffic by:
- Commenting on dofollow blogs.
- Commenting on blogs with Top Commentators widget (dofollow or nofollow).
- Commenting on top bloggers’ blogs that I like.
- Commenting on dofollow discussion forums.
- More active on Twitter. Follow me if you haven’t and I’ll follow you back!
It’s about time that I do something to this blog: to bring more traffic to it. It will not happen magically without any hard work. It’s probably a good time for you too.
So how’s your traffic & income last month? Feel free to share.

Hey man ,
Almost the same traffic as last month, your hosting was an issue else I think t could have been much better.
Will be looking forward for some guideline on Amazon from you.
Nah.. it wouldn’t make much a difference.. probably a few hundreds more but that’s about it :{
Good stats man, i think you should work to improve search engine traffic. I don’t know how amazon links will perform, keep posting about their performance
Yeah I know.. I honestly never do any SEO on my posts. I think I should learn it in depth or probably purchase a tool to help me out
good for you michael..hopefully i can monetize my blog as much as this too !
Don’t give up
I used to earn 10 cents a day heh heh
Woot! Nice monetisation and well done! I had an decent May month and I’m looking forward for the June stats.. hope to see a constantly improving stats
Thanks, Rockstar. Feel free to share your traffic and income here too
Nice stats keep it up, it is only bound to grow in the future, so best of luck and hope to see better stats next month too
I hope so too! I’m planning to be more active in forums and commenting on other blogs this month!
Good traffic report you have.keep up the good work.
Mike,
Congrats for shifting to hostgator.

Man, your search engines traffic is rocketing every month! Great work there!
Look like my traffic figure has finally beat yours one. lol!
Wow, I just dream of those stats. I have tried to make extra cash on adsense, but my earnings are low. Any advice that you can give me?
It’s probably harder to make some AdSense earnings on blogging niche (which I assume your blog is at) since your readers are mostly bloggers who already know not to click on ads
Similar like a techie blog site, I guess
haha..yeah..still cents at the moment..hopefully it will go up soon..the funny thing is..sometimes i got a click but no cents…LOL
Michael,
What kind of CTR do you see with the large (300 by 250) unit that’s placed at the top of this article?
My CTR was about 2.6%-3%. I’ve tried moving it to the bottom but I could see that I got less clicks on a few days trial.
So I quickly moved it back on top again. I guess you’ll get more clicks on the top but you might drive your search engines visitors away from your blog
Thanks, it’s very helpful to know. I’ve been experimenting with different placements. I’ve found that bigger isn’t always better and that location is most important.
What do you mean drive away visitors; because they find the ad at the top off putting? Have you tried embedding within the text towards the top? I’m guessing that you have and that’s why you’re choice of placement is the top as it performs better. I’ve seen other sites do this too (makeuseof.com) and always thought that it must perform well.
Excellent stats… You seem to be rocking! An income of $200 is really good..
May be you could give me some tips on traffic and monetization
Keep up the good work my friend!
Cheers
Sandeep
I know, but you’ll never be happy with what you’ve got
