Finally an Update!

Ugh, I can sure be a lazy person at times. This blog hasn’t been updated since November…

Things are going pretty well in my WE world at the moment.   I got over my previous bout of laziness, buckled down, and I made a whopping… $8,100 last month in ad revenue.  I originally had thought I’d made about $7,500, but then I recalculated. One of my ad companies didn’t have automated reports and I had to wait to get the check a month later. Now, finally, they are automated. I also now keep meticulous records of what I make from each company and update it every few days. This month I will make a little less - as of this moment I’ve made just over $7,000 for the month of February.

You might be wondering how I managed to get my revenue to jump like that. Well, it took a lot of moving my various ads around. Plus, a certain popular CPC text-ad company emailed me and helped me optimize my ads, which pretty much tripled what I was making with them. Also, there is this one ad company (more like a blog network) which pays depending on ad impressions. For instance, if you get over 2,500,000 ad impressions with them in a month, you will make $2500. Well, I moved their ads around so that they now show on every single page of the site, and the impressions have skyrocketed. In fact… next month, I will likely get over 5,000,000 impressions with them, in which case I will make $5,000 from them alone.

My site traffic has remainded strong, ranging from 25,000 on weekend days to 35,000-47,000 on weekdays. I am seriously considering running an ad campaign somewhere in the next few weeks to get some new traffic.

Now some more interesting/good news: one of my other sites, which sits stagnant, suddenly started getting more than 3,000 visitors a day. It seems google is indexing the photos on the site. So I spruced it up last week and now am getting around 5,000 a day. Not bad! I added Adsense and Adbrite. So far it isn’t netting much revenue, but it’ll get there.

I also bought some new domains over the weekend. It is quite an addiction for me… but I’ve managed to get some great names over the past year or two.

Some of you have asked what my popular site is. I’d rather keep it anonymous, but if you really tried to find it, you could. I will tell you it is a celebrity blog of sorts.

Anyway, that is about the sum of things right now. In personal news, I’ve moved into a huge new apartment and dumped my boyfriend (for the 7th and final time). Now it’s time to find a nearby AA meeting… just kidding!
