  • Private Advertising: $106
  • Google AdSense: $147.32
  • Amazon Associates: $22.03

Total: $275.35

A steady income to AdSense but a decline on the private advertising last month, I may have to work harder on advertising my blog’s adslots somehow. I also tried CPA Lead for a couple of weeks. Basically if you have a page or a download area, you can monetize it further with CPA Lead. It works by “locking” the page and requires the visitor to fill in a short survey (or other actions) to unlock. It’s a great monetizisation tool if you have a premium area on your site/blog. After a week or two of trying it, I got around $7.62. Not bad at all but I’m a bit scared to drive my visitors away so I took it off in the mean time. Feel free to check it out and experiment on your blog though.

I also tried to move my AdSense around but couldn’t seem to squeeze more out of it..

How’s your traffic and income stats going last month?

Look at the Google Analytics graph. The contrast peak was the day when it had 8000-ish visitors from Reddit

I knew someone’s gonna ask that lol

What sort of post topics do you have at Reddit? Mine was only the jokes’ ones. Tried my reviews or other tech news – not so successful

Yes, what’s your method? I just interested in this after Mike’s showing his stat for a funny post, this is amazing!

The Adsense still betraying with your traffic. You should earn more. Wish you a good earning this month.

I know :( I guess most visitors come and already got what they want – so no one needs to click on ads anymore

How much does CPA Lead pays for each completed survey? How often do visitors leave without completing the survey, rather not seeing the content?

It varies – I got around 35 cents to almost $2 on one completion of a survey. I noticed around 80% of the visitors didn’t want to take the survey though (sometimes the offer varies – surveys, play games, or download something, depend on the visitors’ countries). If you really have a premium area or exclusive downloads, this works best as visitors are “forced” to do it to really get what they want

CPALead would work best on certain types of content. You could lock an individual page with CPALead and list on it some high quality information people would pay for. Something like a list of great backlinks, or well even this post would be something I’d fill out an offer to see. You don’t need it on everything to make a lot with it.

You seem to be getting decent monthly page views. Have you ever thought of placing CPM ads such as Tribalfusion etc. These will have significant impact on your earnings and will generate guaranteed monthly income provided that you have decent number of visitors coming from countries such as USA, Canada, Australia, UK etc.

I did apply for Tribalfusion but they were asking for .. (can’t remember now) but around 250,000 views a month or something?

At the moment I’m only getting around 50,000 views per month. Do you have other CPM recommendations that pays around $1-2.50 per CPM? Even that, I’m still not gonna earn much here just yet with my current traffic
