It sure helps put things in perspective. Today will likely be one of the worst days of the month as far as traffic goes considering the Labor Day Weekend. Despite that, my traffic will be about the same (if not a little better) than my absolute best day in June 2009. Furthermore, despite the horrendous start to the month as far as revenue is concerned, I have earned more between AdSense and eHow than I earned for the entire month of June 2009.
It certainly makes me wonder where things will be a year from now during the Labor Day Weekend of 2011. I would certainly expect to be earning monthly AdSense checks by then which means I ought to be making over $100 per month with just AdSense. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to achieve that goal provided I continue to put in at least a modest amount of effort generating additional content and getting more backlinks.
Anyway, I found it interesting that I felt kind of disappointed with the last few weeks considering what an awesome start I had in August. I know that there will be ups and downs in traffic and earnings. I had gotten quite accustomed to the fluctuations but thought that I was getting the hang of it a little bit more so that I would see a little more consistency overall especially when it comes to AdSense. Alas, it is not to be, at least not yet. I am still seeing some fluctuations and figure I will have to wait until 2011 before seeing the monthly AdSense check from Google. But that is OK. It will be all the sweeter when that day comes. And I will be sure to let you know when it happens.

It sounds like you are doing quite well at HubPages with your Adsense earnings. That's wonderful. Hopefully you will be seeing those monthly $100+ Adsense checks soon! :)
ReplyDeleteMy earnings history is very much the same and, you're right, it does help to put things into perspective! Congrats on your earnings through August by the way, and I'm sure things are still on the rise!
ReplyDelete@Deanna,
ReplyDeleteYes I can't complain. Overall, AdSense is going pretty well. It is HubPages as well as a combo of Xomba and SheToldMe that brings in the majority of my earnings. HubPages is clearly over half of those. I should see several monthly checks next year. I doubt it will happen this year.
@Ruth,
Thanks for your encouraging words. It is good to see you back online. Hope the move went well.
I'm glad to see you working consistently and keeping a cool, level head about things. You obviously have patience. I've recently found your blog and your level of earnings is closer to mine than many other of these journals. This gives me inspiration to keep moving in hopes to catch up to you and others! Please keep working, and keep posting your efforts, goals, and earnings! Your readers get a lot out of it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks so much Jared. I am glad that there is value in what I have to say since that is my purpose here. I try to maintain my patience but admit that it can get frustrating at times. I will do my best to continue to inspire you and others.
