Earning Revenue From Your Website - Week 5
Well, another week has gone by and I have a few events to talk about. I had the most new traffic I have ever had due to a few sources. Unfortunately, it has not resulted in much more ad revenue. My ad revenue for this week was $6.73.
The traffic came from 3 sources.
- I submitted articles to ezinearticles.com and I put linkbacks in each article to my own site.
- I submitted some of my articles to StumbleUpon. This is a cool site (with a Firefox extension to boot) for helping surfers find good content on subjects they are interested in.
- Some of my articles show up on the first and second pages of some Google search results now. A tribute to good writing? I wish. The most popular in order of hits are:
- Collecting Air Miles and their Value - This is funny because it is something I did a few years ago out of my own interest's sake. I have had a lots of hits on this and am on the second page of some Google searches. It is by far the busiest page on my site outside of the photography and investing articles I submitted to ezine.
- Connect to Your Windows XP Professional Computer Through a Router - This is another surprising one. I simply wrote about how I use Remote Desktop Connection to access my computer, which is behind a router. I show up #7 on the google search "how to connect to your router".
- Borrowing Against your Life Insurance - This comes up on the second page of the Google search "borrow money against rrsp".
My traffic for the week peaked on Saturday. This is when a couple of my articles made it on to ezine.
Traffic for Week 5
This hasn't resulted in much ad revenue, but I think it is a turn for the better. My click through rate was previously a lot higher than what I understand can be expected (probably my relatives clicking because of the novelty of it). I am more interested in generating traffic at this point and then refining the ads later, when I can see the effect of my changes legitimately. I have a screenshot from my Ad Sense account below.
