Blog Income Report
So it has been a couple of months since I’ve updated my friends, associates and readers about the income that TAM is generating. So here you go.
Over the past two months I’ve averaged $350 (give or take a few bucks) of earnings from this blog (and a couple of other web properties that I don’t market at all that get little traffic.)
AdSense is pretty consistently earning about $140.00 per month. I’m actually very pleased with the steady stream of revenue that this provides.
Private sales are accounting for the majority of blog earnings month in and month out. I’m getting an advertising inquiry almost every other day. Not everyone buys, but it is a consistent $150.00 or so per month…so I’m pretty pleased with that too.
Affiliate advertising from hostgator is still picking up, but not converting all that often…but it did generate $75.00
Kontera advertising is slow and the payouts are small. I’m only generating about $4.00 or so per month.
ALL THAT SAID, I’m still not generating enough income to make my entire Hummer H2 payment ($478.00 a month), but I’m getting darn close! I’m still getting a ton of traffic from old posts especially the ones about General Motors and Why Capital One Sucks…so that is great.
Traffic has leveled off to between 1500 and 2000 unique visitors per month and between 5000 and 6000 page views per month. I love the tracking capabilities of Analytics…very cool! Also cool to know, 80% of my visitors are coming from the US, 10% from the UK, 5% from Canada, and the rest from all over God’s green earth.
Thanks always for stopping by and for your comments. They make this fun!

Way to go. I haven’t generated a dime from my financial blog, and I’m not really sure why, but so be it. I continue to write, and one day who knows, right?
Overall, nice income; good stuff.

Good job on the monetization, for the amount of visitors that you have, you’re making some very good income! Also, if you don’t mind I’ve added you to my July blog income report roundup that you may want to check out. Good luck and look forward to your next update.

That’s some great income, especially with adsense which is notoriously hard to master.

I am sure soon enough you will be earning enough to make the payments toward your Hummer H2, just keep creating the great content that you have been, and I am sure you will get there!
Till then,
Jean

With a little link building you could probably boost that Adsense income, on a daily basis it can fluctuate quite a bit but monthly it is consistent.

Your adsense is pretty darn good considering you traffic. Your traffic is not dramatically higher than mine but you adsense income is. I wonder if it is your category – finance that makes the difference.
Do you have any secrets as t why it is so high relative to your traffic?

Any more updates? It has been 8 months. It seems you are not as active here as before I am curious how it has affected our income.

Ned,
Adsense income has been very steady to rising, but I’m down about 50% in reviews/links. It has been strategic on my part to evaluate weather or not I could generate the same income on one post a month vs. one post a week. I was wrong in my belief that once a month would make it happen, so I will have to start adding more content, and on a regular basis, if I’m going to grow http://www.thealmostmillionaire.com
Thanks for your question!
