Website statistics and blog income report for November 2007

Posted on December 1, 2007 at 1:22 pm

This is the first time on Online Tech Tips that I will post a monthly report on website statistics for the last month in terms of traffic and blog income. Even though this blog has been around since March 2007, I only monetized my blog in October of 2007. Since I started in the middle of the month, I thought it would be better to start a report after a full month of data.

As of right now, November has been a great month in terms of increasing visitors to my blog and increasing revenue. I’m only using Google AdSense and Kontera to monetize my blog at this time until I can re-design my blog to accommodate different ad systems, such as sponsors, etc.

Also, my PageRank went from 0 to 4 during the last PageRank update, so that felt really good. I was hoping for a 5, but maybe next time around! Ok, so now for the stats! If you have any questions or comments about anything, please feel free to post a comment or write to me directly via my contact form. I am always willing to help fellow bloggers, as I started at the very bottom myself.

Blog Statistics for November 2007

171,378 Visits (156,611 absolute unique visitors)

288,926 Pageviews (1.69 avg pageviews)

RSS Subscribers ~1100

Top Content:

What I am really happy about though is the increase in traffic from Google. It’s gone from around 3000 daily visits to almost 6000. That’s a large increase for me in one month and it’s very exciting. I hope the trend continues upward!

Money Earned for November 2007

AdSense for Content: ~$1470

Kontera: ~$500

Guest Posts: $100

Total blog income for November 2007: ~$2000

I was not expecting this much from my blog at all when I first started, but I’m really happy with the results. I hope to get my blog re-designed in December so that I can get a few sponsors also and affiliates.

I hope that my content keeps bringing in more visitors from Google in December. There are also many things I have done in the background to get more backlinks, optimize my blog, and promote it that have also increased my traffic. It’s essential to keep working on both writing good content and marketing your blog. And by marketing, I don’t mean quick and dirty ways like buying text links ads, etc, those will only hurt you in the end.

I hope this shows anyone who is starting a blog that it is very possible to make good money from a blog if they really work hard. I can tell you that when I started blogging in March of this year, I didn’t even know what the term “blog” really meant and I had no idea about terms like “SEO”, etc, etc. It took a lot of learning and reading to figure it out.

Being persistent is the key: during my time I had to make a major move from Blogger to Wordpress without losing traffic or being penalized, watch all my traffic go bye-bye when my hosting server crashed, and watch none of my articles get Dugg for months on end. I stuck through and kept writing and now things are working out. Keep going for at least a year consistently and you can have a successful blog.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments, questions, or tips for me!
