Here’s the usual monthly reminder…If you want a free link to your site on a permanent page on blueverse.com, then COMMENT It’s easy. It’s fun. It’s therapeutic.

Thoughts from last month

I don’t have a whole lot to say about last month, so I won’t make up useless dribble. Adsense was double what it has been. Infolinks continues to kick Kontera’s ass in terms of earnings for blueverse.com in particular.

What I’m working on this month

I’ve been thinking a lot about the future of blog monetization. I think banner ads are a dying breed. Inline ads suck as do text link ads. I like reviews. Referrals seem to be a solid method as well…BUT…there has to be something more. I haven’t found that “something” yet, but I’d like to. I have a lot of blogs to push whatever method rises to the challenge of providing some decent cash.

If anyone has any ideas, let’s team up. Leave me a comment or send me an email through the contact form.

  1. Marsh Lifecell Guide Says:

    Yes, that is also effective. But if you wanted to gain a lot of traffic pointing towards your money site, widen your scope even more. Write some articles, contribute it to some article directories so that a lot of people will know something about your site.

  2. Verona Says:

    I see…. At least you making some profits from your blog. The only profit I have from my blog – couple of dollars due to google Ads. (((((((((((((((

  3. Article Directory Says:

    Nice job doubling up your adsense income. Keep it up.
    Have you explored the option of Paid Per Lead? If you can select the products that your viewers are interested in, you can make the $176 in 5-6 referrals per month. The key is to put up offers that your viewers will go for. Give it some thoughts. Cheers

  4. Randy Says:

    $173.39 is a big money to me. Congrats for the earns.

  5. Nicole Price Says:

    Though marginally lower than last month, not bad income at all. Congratulations are certainly in order.

  6. cool games Says:

    Wow this is cool,

    Can you tell me, what is linkXL and what kind of experience do you have with them? are they spammy or not?

    I thought that adsense was the one that was making the most money usually :P

    Oh and one more tip, as for me infolinks is annoying, i wouldnt put that on my blog but i understand the ones that do :)

  7. Franchise Says:

    Same rev as previous month but good to see that infolinks is working for you. You can add the traffic stats if you want.

  8. Laptop Briefcase Says:

    Have you considered promoting affiliate products? That can be a good source of income for any website. There is plenty of related products like seo software that could be reviewed with an affiliate link. AdSense even has an affiliate program.

  9. Bryan Says:

    That's not too bad of an income for a month (depending on how much you're maintaing and updating this blog, however). If you don't mind me asking, how much time do you spend on this blog alone? Looks like Adsense is one of your big dogs. Do you tend to lean towards image ads, text ads, or a mixture of both when using Adsense?

    nICE BLOG AND HELPFUL FOR NEW BLOGGERS AND WEBMASTERS AS WELL.

  11. Internet Marketing Says:

    - You can use Adsense in your RSS feeds.
    - Optimize your Adsense for higher CTR (test images/text, test different text layouts)
    - Build a lot of twitter followers and use ad.ly to receive large checks
    - Send your emaillist affiliate offers
    - Optimize your site layout for higher CTR (using website optimizer and crazyegg.com)
    - Make your own product about making money online and sell it
    – Have affiliates sell the product for you

    I've never used InfoLinks. I initially thought they would just annoy readers. They seem to generate more revenue than I thought. I might give them a go.

  13. David Says:

    Nice post.

  14. samwilliams Says:

    My blog income is $30/ month can you suggest me that how can i improve it.

  15. ATV for Sale Says:

    Wow I didn't realize that those InfoLinks ads would bring in that much money. Personally I really dislike how they lower the appearance of a website, but there is obviously some money there. Still, I don't know if I would cover a blog with those annoying text links for that little money.

  37. Pet Memorial Markers Says:

    No offense, but for your traffic and your pr, doesn't it seem rather little? Depending of course on how much time you spend on it? Adsense seems like a waste of time these days. But then I'm in dog urns and pet memorial markers related sites, which is a different ball game.

    Thanks for sharing this information…. Would it be possible also to know roughly how many visitor you got to your site? That metric would be useful in better figuring out the revenue per unique visitor… thanks anyway!

  39. rudy Says:

    Why has your income plummeted to $170 from $500+ jsut 4 months back?

  40. Camper Trailer Says:

    Well it depends on your niche, but you could do some affiliate marketing if it interest you. You could find affiliate programs and blog about them and try to sell some of their products and materials.

  41. gui@ student loans Says:

    Thank for the post and for sharing such important info… and thanks for leaving the top commentators info as well!
    just a question, since you have several revenue sources: could you suggest a good alternative to g. adsense?

  42. oes tsetnoc Says:

    you have good income from google adsense

    congratulations

  43. tracey8051 Says:

    Fastblogincome.com is a scam. They sign you up for $2 then make it impossible to cancel and/or get a refund on the $75 a month charge that isn't even all that clear when you sign up. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY! Total scam!

    What is LInkXL? Never heard of it.
    I think if you play a little with the adsense placement you would get a better CTR. (Try adding links)
    Will be watching this for the next income update.

  49. Dean Saliba Says:

    Nice amount, double what I'm getting.

    I've found that TLA is low for me it has been a reliable regular income.

    Kontera for me is rubbish. $0.01 a click? I'm moving to InfoLinks after seeing what you earned with them, assuming they approve me of course.

    I earn the majority of my money by writing paid reviews.

  50. Consolidation Loans Says:

    Hi, is "LinkXL" that you report above a valid alternative to Adsense? I've been trying valid alternatives for quite some time but have yet to find a breakthrough… can you help with some insight?
