Well, another month has come and gone and it is time for the recap.

Unfortunately, this was the month were Google decided to love me and leave me. One night, they decided to completely stop sending me any web traffic and I do mean completely.

But fortunately, I had established multiple streams of revenue that were of a more fixed basis than Adsense or Kontera.

Thoughts From My Life Traffic Stats for April

May's numbers and April numbers are in brackets.

The stats don't show the drop off of Google that I really had. Most of that 30% can from the first week where I still had good traffic and then the rest was made of some very specific keyword searches on Google. Below is a graph of my May traffic. Notice the big drop off at the beginning of the month. This entirely Google related. I was in the top 10 results for searches regarding Aeroplan and Airmiles, Nintendo DS homebrew, some photography searches, and a just a few other searches regarding blogging. This drove my Adsense and Kontera results.

Here is another graph. This is my traffic for March, April, and May. It will give you an indication of the traffic reduction.

Thoughts From My Life Revenue

Overall, my earnings for May were $84.03.

• PayU2Blog: $50.00
• PayPerPost: $17.00
• Adsense: $13.47
• Kontera: $3.37
• Chitika: $0.19

This goes to prove the point that you need to diversify your income. In my case, I was dropped by Google search results and so my passive income dropped to around $17 where it was almost $50 last month. The PayU2Blog and PayPerPost definitely helps to smooth things out and pay the hosting bills.

I still have not figured out why Google did what the did and how to get back, but I'll just keep writing.
