Thanks Sire. Course, we both still have a very, very long way to go.

Hey Mitch, that is some pretty good news. You’ve surpassed my November earnings and I think I have more blogs than you do. Reckon your are just pulling in the right clicks. I may have to stick pretty close to you mate to see if some of that earning potential rubs off on me.

Hi Steve. Actually, I don’t doubt those guys are making the money they say they are, but I also don’t think it’s as “pure” as what I’m trying to do, at least not anymore. For instance, though I’m earning some money from TLA, Problogger is actually sponsored by them, even though he says he doesn’t allow paid links, and John Chow also has sponsors. So, that’s not quite the same as putting affiliate ads on a site and trying to generate income from that. Still, I’m not going to say that if I ever got that kind of traffic that I’d turn down the money, obviously. I’m not a fool, after all.

Ajith, I’ll tell you the truth; if my search engine traffic ever gets to even 15%, I’ll think about it at that time. Right now, that doesn’t seem to be where it’s coming from, so PR doesn’t mean so much to me. Being listed on search engines in general does, though, and a loss of PR doesn’t affect that at all.

hey Mitch,
Thanks for sharing your numbers. I question the “blogging gurus” who claim to be making thousands a month, but your numbers seem very real. It’s also interesting and valuable to see how the different programs work. Anyway, I look forward to your 300th post. And don’t give your November earnings to those Reno casinos!

So the traffic is building up which is a great news. Even I am working on arriving at the best monetizing strategy. TLA is a big no-no for the time being due to PR worries…

I am thinking of Private ad sales now

Hi Khaled. It pretty much has to be related to more visitors, since it seems that it didn’t drastically go higher because of all the extra stuff I added.

Great news on an extra 7,000 unique visitors to the blogs this month. Would you say that has helped raise the website earnings or have you changed your ad campaigns over the past month?
