Win a Google Android G1 from Chitika

December 12, 2008 by

Chitika is having a contest to see who is making the best use of their Chitika Premium ad blocks in tandem with Adsense.

Since one of the best ways to earn the most revenue is by using AdSense and Chitika | Premium together on the same page, we thought we would hold a contest to see who has the best AdSense + Chitika | Premium setup.

All you’ve got to do is get them the URL of the site where you’ve got both Chitika Premium and Adsense set up. You can submit it in the comments of the announcement post or via email (listed on that post).  Best placement combo wins.

The grand prize winner gets their choice of a Google/T-Mobile Android G1, Blackberry Storm, or an Apple iPhone 3G 8GB.  Also, two runners up will get a cash prize of $200.  That’s nearly enough to buy your own phone.

I must admit that I had abandoned the Chitika program for quite some time due to lack of performance, but I was convinced to give it another try and it’s paid great dividends since.  What used to be a $3-4 a month payout, is now coming in at $50-$70!

Now, go and submit your winning placement!

Online Income for July 2008

August 8, 2008 by

July was certainly a better month than June was.  Overall, about 65% better!  A couple of increases and a large payment from TNX.net made for a pretty good jump.  I don’t expect all of it to carry over into August, but still look for a pretty good month.  Unless something changes drastically, it’ll probably be down from July, but good still.  Short story shorter, here’s the numbers.

  • TLA: $66.70
  • Adsense: $144.92
  • Amazon: $21.15
  • eBay Affiliate: $6.23
  • Kontera: $58.26
  • ClixGalore: $10.00
  • TNX: $112.06

Grand Total: $419.32

Online Income for March 2008

April 2, 2008 by

After a pretty flat February (only increased by $2.62), I can’t help but be a little impressed with my March.  Whether it’s the posting schedule (I don’t think it was) or just some of the changes I’ve been made (not that either.  at least not wholly.), or maybe some random mix of those and several other items, March was a pretty darn good month.  Not only that, but it put me over the threshold on many of the accounts, so I should be receiving some pretty nice checks in the coming days.  So, here’s the numbers for March 2008:

  • TLA: $43.66
  • Adsense: $225.00
  • LinkWorth: $49.00
  • Amazon: $36.54
  • CJ: $25.90
  • Kontera: $56.23
  • Shareasale: $27.92
  • ClixGalore: $22.00

Grand Total: $486.28

That’s good for an increase of $148.39, or 43.92% over February.   I’ll take it.  So, why the increase?  TLA is up a little on account of me lowering the price of one of my properties (not this one.  I don’t use TLA here anymore) enough to sell out the spots.  Quantity wins over quality there.  Adsense is up, but mostly just on increased traffic and a little bit of a CPC increase.  I don’t attribute the increase in traffic to the posting schedule here only because the traffic increased almost everywhere.  I’ve been doing a little extra SEO and I’d like to think that that is what caused the increase.  My guess it it’s just fickle ol’ Googley Moogely again.

Amazon is up, but February was a horrible month for Amazon, so that isn’t saying much.  A couple of higher ticket items certainly helped there though.  CJ came through with yet another of the sporadic commissions that I seem to pick up here and there.  Not regular by any means, but again, I’ll take it.  Kontera keeps rising after a pretty precipitous drop after December.  Up over the $50 mark this month which would be nice to keep going.  Shareasale increased from $0 last month to $27.92 this month.  All on one sale.  The funny thing there is that the sale was from a PPC campaign that ended on February 13th.  The only other major increase comes from ClixGalore.  The reward there nearly doubled from $1.25 per signup to $2 per.  That and an overall increase in sign ups and you get a pretty nice number for a banner that I haven’t touched in forever.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this month.  The increases are nice to see and I really am hopeful that I will be able to continue them on into April.  There are still quite a few things that I would like to continue improving and hopefully that will help me increase those numbers each month.  I’d really like to see myself over the $500/ month mark consistently in the next Quarter.  I think it can be done, but only with some more work on my part.

Here’s to March!  On to April!

Online Income for February 2008

March 2, 2008 by

For being a short month, February still turned into a decent month.  Still not what I would like it to be, but good nonetheless.  Slightly better than January, which is good since I expected to continue the holiday drop off.  Here’s the numbers:

  • TLA: $34.63
  • Adsense: $180.33
  • Linkworth: $49.00
  • Amazon: $14.76
  • Kontera: $48.47
  • ClixGalore: $10.25

Grand Total: $337.44

That’s an increase of $2.17  or 0.65% over January.  Like I said, I was expecting the continuation of a drop off from the holiday sales peak, but that didn’t happen to much.  You’ll see that Amazon sales dropped a little, but that was accentuated by a few returns and March is looking good already.  Kontera is back up where I would expect it to be and ClixGalore did well this month.  Another small surprise is the increase in TLA income.  Though slight, it’s more than I expected this month.  I quit using them here on this site, but one of the other sites actually sold a majority of it’s inventory after I lowered the price a smidge.

Overall, I’m happy with February’s results.  It should be interesting to see the affect of all the hullaballoo going on here in March on the income.  I’m hoping for some increases, but we’ll see.
